its a pain to fit but worth every bit of effort imo, best mod i ever done. drop subframe, undo steering collum pinch bolt, remove manifold lying on floor cursing and swearing, realise after all the swearing that the 182 manifold is even bigger! sqeeze it back in, refit it all back together and...

agreed, mind the days of pullin birds like that rolling a motorsport world stainless!!

not sure how much the AP's are but Venom Motorsport are doing FK's for £360 at the moment, that would be my bet if i was looking for cheap coilovers

i paid £130 quid less than that and gained 8bhp more on my 1.1 twingo :p if it was my car id go down the ph1 airbox route with an RS Tuner map.

depends if you want a track car to eventually compete in or just a track car for fun. competeing wise im not sure as its not something ive looked into, track wise though id go for something along the lines of... ph1 172 or 172 cup all the usual weight saving mods air con delete if required...

amazon is now £180 and Tesco £160!!! bugger!, ive just had to order my mrs one from tesco @ £160 lol

agreed, they are awesome fun, and extremely capable, and to be honest the fuel consumption wasnt really an issue to me as i didnt do much miles but it was still always in my mind making me feel a bit robbed!! it was 10mpg less than what i would have got out my 172's but then again my GT DCi was...

awesome job well done! and good idea with the black roof to hide the sunroof! need to get the little stickers for the front bumper that tuck in the grill above the reg plate, picky people notice it, it annoys me too lol!

they arn't bad, just dont feel as smooth as the newer engines or a vtec honda unit

in the 172/182 yes but never in the 200 (and i assume 197 but never driven one), 200 was smooth and sounded brilliant high up the revs, 172/182's sounded like they were going to blow lol you could even feel it through the metal pedals! i never saw above 24mpg in my 200, most days it sat around...

run out house as quick as possible as its f**king freezing, fall, get up, get in car, heaters off, start car, hold revs at 2000rpm for 30 seconds, heaters on full blast for 30 seconds, window cleared :)

worth noting Tesco are doing Lumia 800's for £130 pay as you go, or £115 if you spend £30 or more in store. Amazon doing unlocked sim free for £150, just ordered my mrs one for xmas!

they do have a service book just its integrated into the hand book now not a seperate book.

generally i use market value as a rough guide, the price i pay is what i decide its worth to me, id have no 2nd thoughts about spending 4k on an absolute mint 172 if it was low millage, full history, as close as you can get to imaculate on a 10yr old car.

gonna stick a set of 182 injectors on it and watching a few megane 225/230 intercoolers on ebay as they pop up cheap and the pipework isnt a problem for me to sort out, that way i can get a nice 130-140bhp with similar torque levels to what ive got the now. then its getting left at that! lol...

if i was looking for one id be interested in that if it was at the right price. low miles, looks pretty good nick from the pics, id bet the standard wheels have hardly been used too! belts done by specialist. carpark dings as much as they are a pain, these cars ding so easy and lucky they are...

920 is a cracker! im not quite ready to move over to windows phone yet though!

agreed, anyone who says "they dont handle that great" hasn't driven one, of course its not as razor sharp as a clio RS, it isnt ment to be. i love them! never had the pleasure to drive an RS.

yeah mate was expecting 110 but ran 118 so all good!!

didnt realise this was yours Steveo, never got a chance to chat. Good figures! car looked lush too, really fancy one of these

Henk can map that for you with aftermarket cams after a few data logging runs

next time lol

aye gaz its brilliant should have took it a blast the day. needs a set of tyres first its got ditch finders on it and 3rd gear off a roundabout in the wet and it will light up a wheel lol now got the same torque as a standard 172 lol

Was on the RR at Extreme Motorsport today and made 118bhp @ 4870rpm and 143lb/ft @ 3,360rpm its power levels off at 5000rpm but holds it until 6500rpm, i think this is where henk has held it back due to injectors. Car has been running spot on since the updated map so a big thanks to henk, and...

3.0 V6 Clio/Laguna V6 lump fits

yeah im quite interested, henk recons around 110hp on this map as its more about low down torque and power delivery due to the injectors being a limiting factor high up the revs, set of 182 injectors soon should sort that tho!

maby if it was an ST170

my twingo wit the back seats slid all the way back for best ballance, chews both them up and spits them out

3 days later still no issuse with new map, rolling road on satarday too

that is epic!!!
