    Clean install with SSD

    as above windows setup will recognise it as a normal hard drive, nothing changes format as normal etc, its worth installing from a fast usb stick to see just how quick your SSD is at installing an OS, i think from the bios screen when i first turn on, to installing windows and then getting to...

    Anyone Got a phase 2 dci 65bhp?

    false economy for a driving school car, 1.2 16v, bullet proof, will do 140k without needing anything other than a service, do 40mpg+ all day long and much better for learning in, diesels scare the s**t out of learners when they start running away from you at low RPM, then when the pupil finally...

    Is Windows 8 utter crap?

    ive got it installed on one of my laptops to try and get used to it as i know in the future im going to have to when they start trying to push you away from it as they did with Win XP with no new versions of IE etc. but i just cannot get on with it. and i cant see the company i work for...

    My day with Clio 4

    popped in for a look round one of these today out of curiosity, looks twice as good in the flesh as it does in pics, it doesnt seem to photograph very well! the low bonnet line and big smooth front bumper looks brilliant, massive badge doesnt look to bad either.

    Clio 182 - Terrible handling!

    they are terrifying with burst rear shocks! lucky they are cheap! you mentioned track rod ends but not the inner track rods, they usually go too

    clio 182 heaters climate control

    are u using the auto feature? its been a while since i used a clio 2 but from memory if you set it to min auto it will just try to cool it to as low as it can, but set it to 16 auto then it will blow as hot air as it possibly can until the car reaches 16 degrees then it will keep the air at the...

    182 manifold...

    i fitted mine with the ktec decat link pipe on a car that already had matched inlets, k-tec stealth, itg filter and it made a massive difference, mid range pull was awesome, i recon if i had got it remapped it would have gained more, it ran 188bhp after the mods and 173bhp standard bar the ITG...

    clio dci 86 / 106 differences

    105hp should be possible on just a remap, more power to be had from decat, panel filter, exhaust etc but gains per £ id just stick to a remap. side by side with my GT Dci106 my mates fabia VRS was identical, although the fabia feels quicker due to the extra torque

    clio dci 86 / 106 differences

    turbo isnt an easy swap, its a different variable geometry jobby on the 106. a standard 86/88 feels about the same if not livelier than a 106 around town as it has much less turbo lag, when rolling though the 106 is a good bit quicker, personally the gearbox makes the 106, id be selling up and...

    2.0 clio sport dealer service

    not much you can do since you have since repaired it, personally id put it back to the way it was phone RUK say its not right and you want it inspected by another dealership so the original cant hide their mistake when they see it, either that or get the service manager to have it put up on the...

    200 first service...

    wonder how much longer my engine would have lasted if i had done a 1000 mile oil change, i planned to do one at 6000 but it went bang at 2500 miles

    My day with Clio 4

    mk3 ph2 was nice to drive and a nice place to be if it was a GT Spec dci 106 but cost a bomb, mine drove night and day better than my 200 did! but as daniel says, the pish 5 speed box thats horrible to use and 4000rpm or what ever it does at 70mph, lack of support in the seats, soft rolley poley...

    DCi 106 remapped :)

    yeah mk3 DCi 106's will do 140bhp odd on a good map, some people across the water in other parts of europe running 145bhp with no other mods! - still a nice gain you got though, id be interested to see some videos of it pulling now and how the exhaust sounds from outside/inside mine used to...

    Clio 2007 MK3 1.2 TCE Spark Plugs

    http://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/products/Renault-Twingo-Spark-Plug-Set-%281.2-TCE%29.html renault only last time i checked, a few motor factors had them listed but were supplying 1.2 16v N/A ones which were melting pistons. may be different now time has passed

    My day with Clio 4

    even if the RS has a bit under the steering collum that sucks you off i wont be going near one after my last experiance with a new renault. not even interested in driving it, never mind driving a million miles to try and find a dealer worth hading over my cash to

    found this on k-tec, is it worth it?

    yeah i do, how do mappers usually set ignition when they have the car infront of them on the road or rolling road etc?

    found this on k-tec, is it worth it?

    i dont know how he does any of what he does, i just send the data logs and upload the new maps when he sends me them, same way hes doing all the megane hybrid turbo setups id imagine

    found this on k-tec, is it worth it?

    182 cup rear shocks

    factory ones are made by KYB yep. cup ones are uprated over standard, however they are the same fitment so both will fit both cars (only rears, fronts are different bolt spacing)

    Martin_172's Twingo GT TCE

    if i can get a set of cheap f1s to refurb i will!! i just refurbed a set a year ago for my old 172 too, shud have kept them!! fitted a set of Team Heko wind deflectors the other day, just a crappy picture as they turned up about 10 minutes before i left for work so i threw them on and took a...

    Will a decat make a difference on a 1.2?

    it wont run s**t, it will give a very minimal power gain and sound a bit louder
  28. Martin_172

    Pistonheads - 182 Vs 133

    yeah few guys running 170bhp odd with just a bigger turbocharger, exhast manifold and 182 injectors, stock internals, ecu etc. no one has really passed the 170hp mark or found out what the pistons and rods will take.

    Springs or Coilovers?

    given the OP's request 40-50mm lowering then yes it is a no brainer, cheap coilovers it is.
