    Mk3 DCI 106 MPG

    yeah mate the 100 i would avoid if its used for the sole purpous i use mine for and thats as a 2nd car to save cash, the 65 was better for that, this is a better warm hatch, and a lot of people laugh when i call it a warm hatch but it is hugely capable as i proved at the last cliosport meet and...

    Mk3 DCI 106 MPG

    yes mate when i got my 100 i felt it was pretty slow untill i realised i need to be doing 4000rpm gear changes compaired to the 3000rpm changes i was doing in the 65. ive never driven an 80 but since it has the same turbo as a 65 i assume its much the same just with a bigger kick due to more...

    Sell the 1.2 and get a 1.5?

    yes because most cars of the same size and similar weight go about the same when one has 30bhp and 50lb/ft more, have you ever driven a 1.2? my 172 doesnt even feel torquey compaired to my dci lol

    Sell the 1.2 and get a 1.5?

    Stupid engine question !

    need to disagree with you there, while it may not make a big difference in a straight line "race" the numbers dont tell the full story i only gained 15bhp and 15lbft with my mods but the difference to the way it drives is unbeleivable it may only pull 4 or 5 car lenghts by 145mph on a standard...

    Got a bit of money, what to do.

    RS stamped manifolds are better but still not good by any means some of them even RS ones all differ

    air filter

    you using a standard filer, i found mine pulled better after 6500rpm with the ITG compaired to the dirtyer standard filter (no experiance with a new standard one)

    Sell the 1.2 and get a 1.5?

    dci 100 will be more than fast enough upgrade for you. im used to mine so it doesnt feel as quick anymore but i dont have that torque sensation when i drive the 172 that i used to get when i jumped in it from the 1.2. my 100 trashes 1.2s no problem pulling all the way to its redline of...

    air filter

    one on the bottom of the airbox goes to the circle hole on the bit of metal that goes all the way round the battery area, top one goes to the thottle body on the inlet manifold and the side one goes to the hose that leads down teh front of the battery to the wheelarch where the acoustic valve is

    Clio 172 Induction Kit

    infront of the battery the airfeed coming out of the airbox pull it out and tuck it to the side. theres mixed reviews about doing this, yes you get better noise, heat soak isnt really a problem this is where the airfeed comes from on standard non rs clios if you look behind the grill there is...

    Stupid engine question !

    n2o has come on a lot in the last few years, i think the reason its no widely used is because people would rather spend the money having constant power rather than power that needs refilled all the time! plus a lot of bad press makes it less popular.

    172 Does not start first time - usual?

    ive found this problem to be caused with as described above tdc sensor on all clios not just RS clios, removing cleaning and refitting ususally solves the problem

    what % of your monthly income do you spend on your Cliosport..?

    best bet you can do, which i done was save up and save up and pay your insurance off in one payment when its due for renewal. apart from being cheaper you have more money each month

    Petrol

    if a car such as ben's above is mapped to run it then yes their may be a slight performance loss going back to normal fuel but no damage will be caused. lol @ the people who "INSTANTLY" feel a difference even although the injectors, fuel lines and pump still have the old fuel in them!!

    Clio mpg 1.2 with 26mpg

    check tyre pressures, 32front 30rear ive always ran on my quick cars but i run 40 all round on the dci for max economy haha upstream lambda worth a check due a service? check airfilter.
  28. Martin_172

    Petrol

    it wont make 1 single bit of difference, i always used optimax/vpower though but you wont notice a difference. its RECOMENDED you use 98ron, its not mapped for it! take it to india and run it on there cooking oil and you might notice a difference but it wont damage it, its not a 500bhp turbo...

    Potentially Buying a 1.2 Authentique...

    id avoid the autentique crappy spec thats before you get to that terrible 8v engine and thats nothing to do with performance!! the 16v although bassed on the same engine is a big improvement not just in power as like you say its only for a 17yr old but ive found it more refined (if you can call...
