    Exhaust rusted through... really loud!

    any decent garage will be able to weld that back up for you. id check your engine mounts too as its possbly worn mounts thats contributed to it braking, although there has been an obvious weak point to being with

    Clio 2.0 VVT 138bhp

    the 2.0 138 will do 40mpg on a good motorway run at 70mph where the 2.0 200 will do 28mpg - however a remapped 1.2 tce with 130hp will do 50mpg

    182 ff, cup, or standard?

    just that bit stiffer and sharper, remember a non cup pack 182 will still handle on par if not better than a standard 172 and you never saw any of us moaning about them back in the day!!

    Thinking of selling the williams, what are 197's like to live with

    of course you dont have to heel and toe it on your daily drive to the shops, im talking about performance driving, its part of owning a performance car, you wouldnt be driving to the shift beep when the engines stone cold, or hammering it over speed bumps, or wheelspinning everywhere as its not...

    Thinking of selling the williams, what are 197's like to live with

    im not trying to make myself sound superior, ive said it before ill say it again, mechanical sympathy goes a long way. if more tried it, renault wouldnt be changing so many boxes. why do you think the new RS is going for a dual clutch auto, to stop all the ejits trying to do fast and furious...

    1.2 16V TCE

    twingo 133 and tce will use the same box afaik from factory.

    1.2 16V TCE

    yep will bolt straight in no problems, as mick said id go for retaining your current gearbox and linkage etc or make some sort of solutuion using the twingo GT setup. it will go well, my mate has a clio 3 TCE remapped running around the 130hp mark, and if caught off guard it will give my 200 a...

    Want to upgrade my CPU/RAM

    dell motherboards are usually ok with CPU upgrades, a quick search on the dell forum though will usually confirm if your choice will be ok, id stick a core2quad in it, ive got a core2quad extreme edition in my HTPC and it still deals with everything i throw at it! but as said id be looking to...

    2001 172 - cruise control?

    must have been retro fitted, it was never available as an option and wasnt fitted as standard until 53 plate >

    Thinking of selling the williams, what are 197's like to live with

    The problem is the box may not be quite as strong as some other manufacturers which can stand up to ejits that cant drive, the renault box wont last great if you are one of these ejits. learn to heel and toe and you wont kill boxes, i stand by this statement and have done for years, ive yet to...
