    oil for 182 turbo?

    I swear by Millers nanodrive but at £70 for 5 litres or there about it aint cheap!! be good to see some independent rolling road results to back up their power claims http://www.millersoils.co.uk/nanodrive.asp

    Martin_172's Twingo GT TCE

    the ST intercooler could have been fitted if I was willing to chop bits and piece off the bumper, inner grill etc which you wouldn't have noticed once the bumper was on but still not something I wanted to do so yeah it was a no go. Im not sure what I want to do to be honest about the...

    1.2 16v to 1.2 TCE....

    A d4ft conversion will cost as much if not more than an f4r, personally if it waz me tho id have the d4ft over it, its a cracking way to have fun and do somthing different. Downpipe wouldny be an issue because you would just run twingo bits or spend 250 quid on a protoxide decat downpipe like...

    1.2 16v to 1.2 TCE....

    yes they use the same 3 mounting points so changing isn't a problem, its electrical that stuff gets a bit different, easy enough if you have a doner car with everything to transplant, although obviously going tce you need to use a twingo as a doner car and would make life easier to swap the dash etc

    Cup handling vs 1.4 handling

    I assume were talking 1.4 16v mk2 clio (Y plate to 2005 ish?) they handle very well out the box especially Dynamique models that get a stiffer setup than non dynamique models. 172 and 172 cup models run thicker and better design anti roll bar, everything else is uprated, springs, dampers...

    But no one had even saw it when they started shouting im not buying it renault are making a mistake. I dont think the car looks to bad but i dont think it looks spectacular but after seeing how much better a non rs looks in the flesh i cant wait to see this

    I dont see what some peoples issue with 5 doors is? Surely if it looks good it doesnt matter if its got 10 doors?

    Daily Eco runner

    my mk2 DCi100 would do 65mpg on the motorway no problem, my mk2 DCi65 would do 70mpg no problem and my MK3 DCi106 would do 60mpg no problem, and that was cruising at 80mph, overtaking etc not driving at truck speeds trying to see how high I could get the mpg, if I done that it would do 90's!! or...

    I can see the F1, cup, trophysport, comeswithrecaros model getting a faster reacting gearbox if that's the case instantly devaluing all the early buyers cars! usual Renault stuff!

    regardless if it does that or not, I still fail to see how this takes anything away from the driving experience when driving quick?

    Anyone ever collected a pair of seats in their Clio?

    should do ive collected full interior for a clio in a clio once, rears, doorcards the lot!

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    of course it wont hence why I said its a good safe guard for them to use, it in absolutely no way affects the driving experience of the box in any way though does it? with a decent manual gearbox it will let you downshift to a gear that could cause engine damage, all my clios have done it bar...

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    I cant see how allowing you to downshift would be any different to what you can currently do, I managed to go from the top end of 4th gear to 3rd in a 172 years ago instead of 5th. however of course it would be a good safe gaurd to prevent the gearbox from doing this as all its going to do is...

    not in RS mode it wont, it will bounce off the limiter until you press the up paddle!

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    but if your in a sideways slide a quick pull on the left paddle and an ultra quick shift is much quicker than, clutch down, shift down on the gearbox you cant rush or it will brake, clutch up and power down, id have thought anyway? and as for having to change up mid corner, you have a turbo...

    Correct tyre pressure?

    185/55/15 are an uncommon size, so its usually cheaper to fit 195/55/15 (well I fit 195/50/15 as they are lower profile) and being a more common size means as well as being a bit wider they are cheaper

    20th Birthday Present to Myself

    Lol at the haters saying why would you want that at 20, yeah because bitches love 172's with yozzas. When i was 20 i had my brand new gt dci clio, £16k of motor, my mate had a polished up £1200 318i and everyone thought he was loaded with his beemer, birds loved it

    mine went up 26p, ill give my daily freddo at work a miss 1 day a month to cover the cost, hardly the end of the world
  28. Martin_172

    cliosport......i could really do with a bit of help on handling :(

    full lazer geometry check should show up any issues with belt bottom arms/subframe. it showed up immediately when Renault fitted mine back on properly and showed up on my mrs 1.6 16v when it had a bent bottom arm
