Lookin smert big yin, shame no recaros to fall apart.

Well s**t got serious today, it failed its MOT on 2 track rod ends, a cheap fix they say... so I ordered 2 track rod ends 2 inner track rods 2 182 cup extra castor bottom arms 172 cup front dampers 182 cup rear dampers 4x ARB bushes Eibach sportlines new top mounts. Spax adjustables with...

starting to look good, drives like f**king s**t though!!! ill sort that soon

I found 10mpg difference on a Clio 3 and that's not just 172 vs 200 that's DCi100 VS DCi106 too

I made the swap, 200 is better in every way IMO apart from fuel consumption. of course IMO, although if you look at my profile im now back in a ph2 172! bang for buck of course the 172 is miles better value but that depends on your situation, a year ago I could afford to spank that sort of cash...

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. lol good luck when your 9 year old tensioner fails and takes the belt out!

coming along nicely, loved my wee black ph2 1.2 dynamique when I was 17. Cabasse stereo option too by the looks of it, rare on a non RS

65/80's are awesome with next to no lag, tuned up 80's fly around town!!! I quite liked the laggyness on the 100 once mapped as it was followed with that big clutch breaking torque band! (mine did a clutch in no time lol)

headlight washers if fitted must work to pass an mot now

yeah totally, and far too gutless an engine for such a heavy car! my old GT DCi 106 would do 60mpg daily even when driving it quickly

not shy at all, bet that's no fun in the wet lol!!!

good cars should have got the diesel though!

monster stickers refer to the monster under the bonnet I assume?

as good as 172/182's are they are nothing compaired to a 200!

this was 195/45/15 were not cheap though!!

yeah mate just mask it all off

the usual cloudy headlight problem... 400, 800 & 1200 wet and dry then polished up with compound using machine polisher

mine was an absolute heap, but it was just a dodgey car. id have another one no problem, what I will add is I agree with people above, the MPG vs performance is not good at all, HOWEVER... MPG vs fun? they are brilliant

no one will know what the engine will take, personally I wouldn't want to be pushing it past much more than just a simple remap will get! I know there is a few guys in other parts of Europe running 140 odd bhp and 220lbft from these engines with just a strong map!

my standard 200 used to go off like a shot gun on gearchanges when I had been giving it death, im sure it was broken

R32 GTR over ANYTHING!

surely setting your ECU to overfuel on over run is going to just end up washing the oil off the cylinders or am I a million miles away?!

I find T1-R's are fine for lower powered cars, I ran them on my DCI clios and they were fine, just run a bit of a higher pressure than you normally would on your tyres and the soft sidewalls aren't so much of a problem. they are priced as a budget tyre but are night and day better than most...

plans are keep it standard bar a decent suspension setup and 4 pots. even got a standard exhaust coming for it!! ordering a full front end refresh for it every bush, mount etc

you sure about that? guys were doing it on the Clio 1.6 VVT which is FBW

RS tuning remap is all you need on these, no need changing turbos or anything like that I never got round to mapping mine just unplugged the MAF sensor on the airbox and it pulled much stronger, was smokey though lol

oh and a bonus... its got RS inlets yey!

cheers dude! coming along nicely, just waiting on 4 new engine mounts being delivered on Tuesday...

hammerite smooth silver and just some cheapo ebay super high temp I bought years ago for the ph1. hammerite is perfect for the job!
