ahh right yeah, the ph1 was just a toy had the dci100 and then GT DCi106 at the same time as it as my daily, couldn't be bothered with the hastle of 2 cars now lol
depends what you consider an upgrade and a downgrade though, imo the only time I downgraded was when I went from the 200 to the twingo GT as I had to due to it being such a shed and I had 3k neg equity due to the short time I had it so I had to take a 12 month loan for the 3k neg and the 4k for...
yeah soon to be 172 injectors, fastchip stage 2 etc etc before probably selling it to buy something else lol I get easily bored
one is quite enough though haha!
everyone keeps telling me this, not sure what it is, I just hate change lol
yeah I like to see stuff like this too, get yourself a...
did you say you rev match on the way up the box?
there is a massive difference in the speed you can shift in a 197/200 gearbox compaired to the gearbox on a 1.2 tce that's why!
had a day off today so was sorting through all my old pictures and organising them a bit better (as you do on a s**t rainy day off!) and realised I think I have a bit of a problem.
it began in 2004 at 16 and a half years old when I bought a standard 1.2 16v clio, it later ended up like...
there was a guy around this way back in 2005 when I had my first 172 had a standard looking vts, slightly lower with a set of R888's or something similar on it, straight line I was just creeping closer to him but round the bends in my at that time standard 172 running factory conti tyres he was...
I find your best to keep going till 5k if your really going for it as you get the overboost at 4.5k but when just making quick progress 3500-4000rpm is more than enough!
actually it is, in my experience its only once you get up near triple figures the Clio starts to pull away in any significant way, under that your just creeping away!
I think ph2 172 wheels are the coolest wheels Renault ever made! always liked them, and I bet they will look brilliant on the trophy!
I also like the mk1 wheels looks very fresh!
this was my old one when I was 17!! full stripped out with a custom airbox I made and I made an HKS panel filter for it lol!!! had 140k on the clock and was RR at 83bhp!
goes as MWright said above.
To change just remove the top damper nut and jack the car up until the damper comes through the bottom of the body, change the under side bush it just slides on the same way the standard one is removed, and then lower the car and fit the top bush again the same way...
mechanics courses generally isn't where your going to learn about increasing the performance of a car!
DCI clios sound terrible with open filters on them, I tried one on my mapped dci 100 out of curiosity and it sounded rubbish, every time I lifted off the throttle it made a deep tractor like...
if I was going down the K03 route id just run around the 160-170bhp mark with a good oil cooler, good quality fluids and get someone who knows what they are doing to map it, I don't know for definite but the rods are fine at 150bhp, id take my chances at 170 and see how it goes!
gearbox might...
