    172 stub axle (non cup) is it thick or thin type?

    My 51 plate was the thicker 18mm type. Knowing Renault I'd say there is probably no logic to when they changed. I fitted a phase 1 stub axle and it was the thinner.

    Turbo/supercharge clio quick as?

    You've got to look at both sides of the fence IMO. There is no better or worse. In the grand scheme of things, the Clio is a tinny, noisy, badly made French can and when it was my daily it used to break silly things constantly. That said, it is incredibly capable and with a sensible amount of...

    Rs tuner ,launch control.

    The only launch control a Clio needs is a Nike Air Max and an ankle with muscles that work. This is launch control http://youtu.be/qtn4npzzans

    Picture of the plug that goes to the cigarette lighter?

    Thanks James. I've got the loom out now so I think I know which you mean. It clips to the back of the airbag ecu iirc.

    How easy or difficult...

    Not sure you could do it as you'd need the immobiliser transponder from the key unless you removed the immobiliser in full if it is at all possible.

    Turbo/supercharge clio quick as?

    As a straight line tool and track weapon, I can imagine a 230-260bhp Clio being very handy. As a day to day tool, an intentionally fast car eg. M3, Evo will be a much better package but with 2-3x the initial cost.

    Rear flexible brake hose - fitting?

    Brute force. They have splines around the ends to locate into the cage. Just pull, wiggle and twist with some force.

    ABS delete ideas

    Updates and a opinions with a few pictures Ben would be great as I have the same kit to go on with a Cup racer bias valve and lines. Good luck!

    Rs tuner ,launch control.

    Think it limits rpm to about 4k in 1st. Try a launch with the clutch down then release the clutch. If the revs are holding at 4k you've got it.

    Sunflower Clio on eBay (you WILL be sick)

    In a weird way, if you squint it looks pretty chunky. Still Bradford.

    Picture of the plug that goes to the cigarette lighter?

    I stripped my interior and removed the cigarette lighter. I'm now going to remove the airbag wiring from the dash loom but don't want to remove the cigarette lighter which is nearby. Has anyone got a picture of the connector?

    Spur of the moment.. "sigh"

    It'll look just like the DTM Clio Ralf Schumacher used to drive. I wouldn't bother mate. You're starting with a dud which will only cost you more in the end. Move it on and buy a Clio specific exhaust.

    Cup engine loom mated to climate phase 2 172 - will a Cup blower then work?

    I have fitted a Cup blower to my climate phase 2 172 but found it doesn't work due differing wiring. I also have a Cup engine loom to fit as I'm removing the ABS which I'm guessing will then have the Cup spec connections for the blower. Will the blower then work with the Cup loom fitted as...

    If I remove ABS and Air Bag ECU, what lights will I end up with?

    It can but I don't want the mass of wires, impact sensors or ecu so am going to unpick them from the loom and cover the lights I think.

    If I remove ABS and Air Bag ECU, what lights will I end up with?

    On the vein of if it's not there, it can't be checked, it looks to me like I should just remove the offending lights and live with the fact that the SERV light will be permanently hidden.

    Same old service light and airbag light grief

    An RSTuner could fit the bill. They're primarily good used for re-maps but are also very good for diagnostics etc.

    If I remove ABS and Air Bag ECU, what lights will I end up with?

    Yep that's what my MOT guy said. If its not there, it can't fail. Does anyone know if I'm right on my lights?

    Airbag rs tuner module

    You need to buy it first. It's not a physical module, it accesses the airbag module so you can turn off airbag lights etc.

    If I remove ABS and Air Bag ECU, what lights will I end up with?

    This is what I'm working around. Going to rig the need lights up to the oil pressure lights so they sequence properly then disable the others.

    If I remove ABS and Air Bag ECU, what lights will I end up with?

    I'm removing using a Cup master cylinder and new brake lines. Already checked with my MOT guy and he said if its removed properly, it won't fail.

    Re: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE to turning off airbag lights (with pictures) no resisters ne That's where I'm at Phil. Already used RSTuner which worked a treat. I've parred down the rear loom, trimmed down the door looms to just central locking motors. I've had to splice the airbag on/off lock from...

    If I remove ABS and Air Bag ECU, what lights will I end up with?

    I'm guessing all of them LOL! I have a phase 2 non ESP 172. I'm guessing the ABS removal will bring up the ABS, STOP and SERV lights? Removing the airbag ECU will then bring up the SERV and Airbag lights? I'm trying to keep the dash light sequence in contemplation of the new rules if they...
