    How good is VVT

    what ever happened to BenR and AWT? i remember EVERYONE running AWT matched inlets a few years back, i had a set to and got a decent gain on them but no one seems to do it anymore?

    i feel sick :( cambelt snapped..

    depends how fussy you are and what budget you have to play with, if my car let its belt go id be taking it to a specialist and having a top end rebuild so i knew everything was new, tight and good to go. but as said, im fussy!

    1.2 dynamique

    i had my 1.2 for a year before i turned 18 and bought my first 172, spent about £2k on mods on the 1.2 before buying the 172. dont regret it. i had fun in it and its the car that helped learn me how to drive properly

    i feel sick :( cambelt snapped..

    your description is breif, was the aux belt and tensioner changed too? sounds like possible re use of aux belt, tensioner has let go and your aux belt has made its way under your cambelt!

    suspension/hub setup differences non RS vs 197/200

    is the rear setup the same? (my rear discs look about the same size as my fronts! lol) would i be looking at steering rack the lot needing changed? hub adaptors for clio 197/200 speedlines are bloddy expensive so thought i may as well price up doing it properly at least i can have brembos too lol!

    Modified dCi's

    Modified dCi's

    there is nothing wrong with a generic map from a place with a decent repuation. what did that generic map start out as? they didnt magically make it up, it started as a custom remap on a standard car. i do not see the point in spending £400+ on a remap for a STANDARD clio DCi when for £200 you...

    How rare is factory sat nav on a 182?

    to be honest back in 2001 when these cars were released (dont know if nav was available from day 1, think it was?) that is a pretty decent looking built in sat nav 10 years later in 2011 look at what renault is offering with these silly tom tom things. its the only option i didnt bother with on...

    video.. revving normal?

    it should be dropping quicker than that from memory its been a while since i drove one though. check inlet manifold for air leaks, had the same problem when the TB gasket wasnt sealing properly on mine

    Should I buy a 197?

    thats the first time ive ever heard anyone say the 197 or 200 feels quicker than a 172/182

    suspension/hub setup differences non RS vs 197/200

    for those in the know, whats the physical fitting differences between the non RS and RS clio 3 models, i know the differences on clio 2's because ive had plenty but never had a clio 3 apart! basically what would be needed in total to run a full RS setup (suspension, hubs, brakes) on a non RS

    what tyres - 16", grippy and last resonably long?

    what tyres - 16", grippy and last resonably long?

    are PS3's the replacement for the PE2? i think the GT must run an odd tyre size as im struggling to find much in its size and they are expensive as f**k! it runs 195/50/16

    what tyres - 16", grippy and last resonably long?

    my GT DCi is needing 2 new front tyres after 16k, not sure what to go for, its got conti energy somethings on it, they are ok, sidewalls are a bit soft and floppy but pretty grippy, good in the wet and last resonably long so was going to just stick another 2 of them on it, but open to suggestions?

    Clio 172 low top end speed

    yeah it should do, this is how mine pulls, well my old one, my new one is quicker! lol... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccstsn0VIm0 i suppose after 120mph in 5th gear the engine has some serious load on it, thats when the plugs start to show their true colours! id start with them and see how...

    ITG panel filter

    its not so much they give more power, they give consistent air flow over their life between washes, paper filters get clogged up and start to drop the level of air they can flow, new vs new there probably isnt much difference, 5/6k miles later though...

    Clio 172 low top end speed

    possibly could be related to plugs, they wont be helping it but i cant see them causing the problem if its as if your hitting a brick wall, does it pull well 5000-7000rpm in all other gears?
  27. Martin_172

    OMG my engine

    its always plug 3, ive saw 2 do it on plug three!
  28. Martin_172

    Clio 172 low top end speed
