I reckon its true about how you drive the car determines its performance potential When I got my car at 20,000km on it, it didnt seem as fast as it is now with 33,000km. I dont rag it to death but I do try keep the revs up where they belong. The other night however I was on my way home when...

nice midge collection you have there mate

I concur. If youre gonna moan about french cars then get a jap car and moan all you like. Were here cos we love the styling and performance of our french cars

Just pulled mine off and used paraffin to get the glue off the window...

Ben isnt that the Renault parts software used at the dealers?

Thanks. Thanks mate...Ill get in touch with them and see what costs are involved. Next step will be finding someone to do the work of installing, etc

What type of throttle bodies are used in the Clio Cup Racers? Single bore? Twin bore? Direct to body? Ive found a place in SA which does this kind of work and I would like to know what Im looking for exactly before I ask. This is their site http://www.jenvey.co.za/http://www.jenvey.co.za/

what revs were you doing when this happened?

um...one more...how about automatically filling in the date on the guestbook signing page :)

Id get rid of the "Renault Sport Clio 172 Cup" text on the page as its being duplicated in the graphic. On the menu page, it might look a little better if you changed the scrolling option to auto On the specifications page youve stated that the car has 172bhp & 6,250rpm instead of 172bhp...

BLUE!!! Silvers are nice if youre boring Blacks are ok I guess Reds are nice actually (but forget all that they are faster lark)

The older Opel / Vauxhalls may have had decent power for straight line stuff, but Ive not known one which was really a beast in the cornering department except for maybe the Astra Coupe, but even that cannot outclass the Clio in cornering ability. Of all the models they have, the corsa is also...

_KDF...buy 2 (you know youll need another spare for when one of them pops again;))

There is a track day coming up on sunday and Im thinking about going round the track...might go practice on saturday though

I got the final results of the Honda day (and it appears later on a few other cars broke the minute mark) Here are some of the results 1. Clio 172 (David Fong) - 55.50 2. Civic VTEC (David Fong) - 56.00 3. Subaru STi - 56.00 4. Toyota MR2 Turbo - 57.00 5. Subaru STi - 58.00 6. Ford Laser...

Lotus suspension on a corsa? dont make me laugh...my corsa had supposed lotus suspension and it was to put it mildly....CRAP

throw in some rear wheel steering and Ill fly over there and give you a hand with the project :D ps. You a NUTTER...anyone ever told you that?

Guess all you need now is the mechanic and the toolbox. Seriously, this would be an awesome project to do, but finding the time cash and skills might be a little tricky *dreaming* oooh 4wd twin engined Clio with 344bhp on tap would slaughter pretty much anything on wheels

It would be very hard. I guess youd need at least the following 1x Mechanic 1x Rensult Clio 2x Renault Clio 172 engine 1x Toolbox

Hey guys, As far as Im aware one of the biggest restrictions in the 172 engine is the Inlet manifold so I would like to reduce that restriction as much as possible without getting too expensive (and definately not throttle bodies at the moment). Anyway, I was speaking to a mechanic and he...

round about 15.3s I think

On the weekend the Honda club here in Johannesburg put together a little time trial at our local hooning spot which consists of some short straights, some long curves, some hairpins. Basically a track which requires excellent use of the brake (both foot, and hand if you have the skill), and...

Dunno

I just said, its the 132kW one, but yes its the 1.8T I guess 132kW = 180bhp

Alrighty...its about time and VW South Africa are eventually giving us the 132kW Golf GTI (right before the bring out the Golf 5) And some of us are debating which is quicker, the 172 or the GTI? Round a track. 0-100km/h 0-160km/h 1/4 mile 1km sprint

thats a checkup, not really a service and I thought it was 5000km

Dash, Im not sure if roadsters such as the MGB, etc really deserve their own category... If they have performance characteristics which would enable them to perform adequately on a track then they would be classed as a sports car. So in the sports car catagory wed have roadsters, hatchbacks...

Its not just the Renault Sports models....My bog standard Clio 1.4 rattled almost as much
