sounds mental, i dont think you should get it cut into the bumper, looks more like mental race system (As it was designed) when it sits the way it does now. i want 1 of these exhausts when/if i do my conversion

Worst: Lexus Lights Best: Apex 60mm kit with 15" wheels

get some mesh fencing, go to your local HKS dealer and buy a 200mm replacement airfilter and cut it to shape to make your own pannel filter. crack the lid off the airbox (i actually mean crack it off, its bonded on!) take an angle grinder and you will see the airbox is seperated into 2...

cheaper insurance,tax, better mpg. not everyone wants or can afford performance

as iain said 55 plate will eather be 15" dynamique alloys (mk2 172 wheels but an inch smaller) or 182 wheels which are 10 or 12 spoke cant remember!

dont pay a garage to fit them mate its a piece of piss get them from fred or gsf and do it yourself.

might not be ph slow but bet it handles w**k with 17" wheels... id loose the grill if it was mine takes a good looking car and makes it look cheap

the way i was told it having high back pressure gives more low down power/torque but less high end power and having a big bore with low back pressure gives you less power down low but more power when your screaming at high revs

most do it for power increase or looks but think a lot of people think the car doesnt have the loud, powerfull sound it deserves :)

i wait untill the water temp is at normal, i only worry about lack of oil not lack of oil temp! as long as their is oil with a resonable heat in it it does the job for me

na kinda set on white mate but cheers for the offer

how can you get more power? start by taking them off lol. seriously tho, as said above by mr bognor, the K&N 57i is an open filter which will suck in hot air and loose you power, especially in summer. most think they gain them power because of the noise but when they go back to standard...

custom catback exhaust with decat, k-tec 4-2-1 manifold, induction kit (not up on the induction kits for this engine so dont know whats best) fast road cams, 2.0 16v F4R throttle body (not the 172 engine, the megane 2.0 engine i think it is, matt black knows the one you need if you phone him...

thats what makes these clios fast, because they are so light, ok 170bhp isn't exactly a lack of power but if you had some merc or bmw with 170bhp it would hardly be fast! so if you make it even lighter then it will be rapid! strip it, coilovers, uprated disks and pads, braided brake lines...

thinking of ordering a set of white pro race 1.2s in 15" next week with 4 yoko A539's anyone got any pics of them on a black car? even in black so i can photoshop them, any size will do but prefer 15" cheers

1.4 16v and 1.6 16v cars have sports suspension as standard, not sure whats "sports" about it tho lol slightly stiffer but you wont notice it!

love it mate but whats happening with all the 1.2 owners selling up?!?! :( keep they wheels, lower it, clear repeaters, colourcode, coilovers ph2 rear lights and it will be rather cool!

VTR is a 1.6 8v with 90bhp for a ph1 and 100bhp for a ph2 or arround that VTS is a 1.6 16v with 120bhp but some had 130bhp as said

if they are i recomend you fit them as soon as possible

they are on the 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 16v cars so i would have thought they wud be on the 2.0 as well but cant confirm that

by not fitting the dust covers im assuming the front suspension doesnt have bumpstops on it then? suspension will be bottoming out and fuking your dampers thats why mine fuked up within a month (got them fitted cheaply!) done them myself the 2nd time (£170 later for new front dampers) and fitted...

its higher at the rear than it is at the front? thats odd. looks good tho but id stick to 60mm drop on 15" mk1 172 wheels. and id lose the renaultsport badge

basically a renault garage that doesnt sell cars, they still forget to tighten the sump plug, know fuk all about the cars they are working on and rip u off, apparently lol

thats smart ^^

been having similar thoughts about this new 1.2 16v turbo twingo thats coming out! lol

170bhp 1.6 16v turbo dynamique S please...

theres more to top speed than bhp as has been discussed and a clio is much more aerodynamic than an old nissan micra, which makes all the difference at these speeds with little power

typical 2.0 boys thinking they are better ^^ as edde says, if his car is putting out 60bhp at 4.5k, then a 1.2 16v is putting out about 70-73bhp (75bhp @ 5500rpm) (obviously all engines are different with good old renaults! then surely a lighter car with 10-15bhp more at that rpm can do more...

just for the record, i know of 2 172's that have hit the rev limiter in 5th which is just over 150mph i think (both members r on here) ive seen a 1.6 16v do an indicated 130mph

they handle good standard, not brilliant ;) and as for not keeping up, a well set up, well driven 1.2 will not be lost with a 172/182 on twisty roads, yep the 172/182 pulls a big gap on straights but not if their is plenty corners, on all the ClioSport meets ive been on ive yet to loose sight...
