you don't need to replace the ECU after its been mapped by an RS tuner if you go to someone with a bit of knowhow!

Thats really smart, some wheel spacers and suspension would look cool

Looks a tidy example, prefered the standard wheels tho. Doing the same mpg as my diesel!!

If its anything like the tce 100 you can blank of the recirc valve to give you dunno valve sound, these cars sound terrible with dump valves though as they have tiny turbo it's more like a sneeze. No the pipework won't really make a difference, upgrade the air box to an open cover filter for...

My best mate is a honda geek and was building a k20 honda jazz for his Mrs, i wanted to build mine an f4r modus!

The cup loves to put me backwards thru a hedge when it rains lol

the RS192 is much quieter, if your cars sitting on the bump stops its probably rattling of the beam too! car must handle terrible too! stick a set of eibach springs on it with fresh dampers, as the dampers will be shot too from being so low!

this was how I felt when I first got mine, with the 172/182 you can drive them at 75% changing gear at 6000rpm and still make quick progress, but the 200 really needs revved to the beep each gear, I found it was the last 1000rpm between 6500 and 7500 it really came alive, this matched with the...

I prefer how the 197 looks bar the rear diffuser I prefer the 200 item but that's easily sorted. however... 20% more torque low down, shorter ratios in first second and third gear I instantly felt the difference when I jumped into a 200 from an R27 and that's why I settled with it in the end!

Ferrari 355, i hate depreciation

The kick is still there just not as sudden as it is when standard, but thats because the 4-5k flat spot has been removed!

Usually mapping n/a engines isnt worth the cash but an rs tuner is on these, probably gain a couple bhp but that doesn't tell the full story. The idle raised (i think its 150rpm) and vvt activated from cold makes a big difference to the refinement and the extra mid range torque is brilliant

I find the game has changed that much now i dont do much traffic light grand prix as average diesel german barge holds its own, i prefer chasing hot hatches in the dci now lol

My mate had a standard new fiesta st and it pulled on my trophy after 120 with ease, now its revo stage 2 it demolishes it!

Standard vs standard in my experience, CTR will pull a car length or so on you, you will pull a car length on a corsa vxr, and pull a couple on a fiesta st 150 or focus st170

ive saw that accord about and I cant remember for the life of me where it was! its the wheels I recognise

would be awesome if Henk @Fastchip could offer a map for this with the rstuner so you could order the kit along with an rstuner and do the full installation yourself, fit>upload map>go blasting!

I had a car that no matter how hard you looked in person you couldn't see a difference yet the minute you took a picture the bumper was massively off!

looks brilliant but who painted that front bumper 🙈

welcome to the addiction, it was a stop gap car that got me addicted too, had about 15 since, over the last 10 years!!

Seems about right my pair were never any better than a 172 on fuel, very short gear ratios on them, my mates mk3 clio was better on fuel than mine, which is odd as with the dci and rs the clio 3 was worse than the clio 2 Drive them off boost and they are about the same on fuel as a 1.2 16v but...

Thats perfect i wouldn't change a thing, took many end up with stickers and black wheels these days

Clean egr valve if required, google for a guide or youtube for a video. Check boost pipes for leaks

Id make the travel to rs tuning in Leeds then. Mappings expensive so you want it perfect first time

Just buy urself and rstuner and do it yourself, then its been mapped by someone specialising in these engines

Go with an f4r and a ClioTurbo.co.uk conversion, probably still work out cheaper. There is a few custom k4m turbos about, none in the uk though as far as i know

tempest blue?

ive never tipped a delivery driver, I don't tip the DHL man when he brings me shiney new car parts so why would I tip the guy bringing my dinner lol. Ill tip a waiter or waitress in a restaurant if I get good customer service, but that's becoming very rare these days too!!

Lol at never use your own car for work as you never fet back what u paid in, my car cost me £1000 and my company has gave me £2500 in expenses for using it! In reply to the original question, we have been using these engines for driving school cars since 2001, usually change the cars at 140k...

I had a dodgey one and fitted these last week http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-Mk2-172-182-RS-Formula-Power-10mm-RACE-PERFORMANCE-Plug-Lead-sets-/311297769037?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item487acafe4d I usually stick to genuine stuff but they are sound so far!
