    Must have upgrades

    yeah if you buy brand new it will work without an unlock code and then the person you sell it to if you decide to do so will need an unlock code, im not sure on the exact price www.fastchip.nl is where you get them, ive got one for my ph1 172 their are good gains to be had mid range and lower...

    clio 182 exhaust

    you could cut it away and weld in a plate but i wouldnt say its worth butchering the car for. you sure your mate has a standard 182 exhaust? K-Tec sell a replica.

    Torque Values and to grease or not to grease spark plugs ?

    no idea, strange one, only thing i could think is temperature related but still doesnt really make sence, dodgey plug i suppose? i just changed my plugs if you need one of my old ones as a spare to test as i know they all work

    clio 182 exhaust

    is it a 172 cup you have? it wont fit as the 182 has no spare wheel well, your 172 cup does.

    Must have upgrades

    their is gains to be had from changing the cat back but to be honest its not worth the extra noise unless you dont mind the noise every day, would do my head in if it was my every day car lol a decat on the standard system still gives you a nice rasp and pops on over run. an RS Tuner box to...

    172 turbo exhaust vid

    just canceled the insurance on it while i wasnt using it, not long had it and it needs a few bits and pieces done before ill be 100% happy with it so didnt see the point in having it insured, will be back soon :) what sort of power you running?

    Must have upgrades

    if i was in your possition and had just bought a standard 172 cup i would buy... Sportlines, inspect rear dampers to see if they are worth replacing (front too while your at it, but rears are more likely to be shot) ITG pannel Filter, Samco Induction Bend, RS Tuner to give it a 98ron fuel...

    Anyone used Koni STR.T Dampers?

    ordered a set today for the DCi 100 as the standard ones are shot, £260 all round was resonable i thought! going on with the current Eibach Sportlines thats already on it

    i don't own a clio.. but this is what i do for a living

    how does this work ive read about this before? is it a seal on the head bolts etc that if you remove gets broken?
  16. Martin_172

    do ph2 172 inlets fit a ph1 172

    is it 182 ones that dont fit, i know their is some difference with the breather on one of the models?
  18. Martin_172

    do ph2 172 inlets fit a ph1 172

    as above :) cheers

    bye bye EK9

    yeah it could do with a bit more, the long term plan is to 16v it but for now hes happy with it. was a bit skitish for liftoff oversteer but now its extremely grippy, id go as far as saying it has more grip than the ek9!!

    do i go for the gt

    exactly the weight kills it, hence why the twingo with "only" 130bhp is a riot. people laugh when i say how genuinely quick my dci 100 is but the twingo is a perfect example. my car weighs 980kg with around 125-130bhp so just under the twingo yet 190lb/ft of torque!

    do i go for the gt

    keeping in mind christopher is coming from a 182 into a 1200kg 130bhp car, its never going to feel quick
  22. Martin_172

    do i go for the gt

    doesn't it use the 197 box?
  23. Martin_172

    Kumho ECSTA MX KU15

    yes and im lucky i lived to be fair! they were ok in the dry but dangerous in the wet, i cant stress how bad they were, my dci 65 with cheap £15 a corner tyres had more grip in the wet.

    bye bye EK9

    my mate is making a thread up on one of the owners clubs, ill get the link off him tomorrowi think its all still there for now
  25. Martin_172

    bye bye EK9

    yep thats the one, still in the same spec really apart from new bilstein dampers all round as the old ones were getting a bit tired and a set of Advan A048 tyres, you would not beleive the grip it has with them on it lol valve stem oil seals are gone on it too so hes got a full gasket and seal...

    Running Costs

    being honest all petrol mk2 clios are completely shite on fuel, infact the 172 is the only one that is surprizingly good, i took my 172 to work the other day a 30 mile drive of part motorway, part b roads and wasnt driving hard yet wasnt really holding back and averaged 38mpg! my 100 however...
