mate turned up with a bundle of cash tonight for me!!! im putting it back to standard tomorrow morning and hes driving it away tomorrow afternoon. gutted to see it go but on the plus side ive got 4k to waste on something new!!!

I know how s**t they are etc that's not what this thread about, just curious as to how much they cost these days? backbox and centre section. cheers

I wouldn't imagine there is much benefit going for 2.5 because 2.25" wont be a restriction when your still running standard downpipe and turbo, id have thought anyway!

Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra this had the potential to be either rubbish or epic, and my god it went full on epic!! brilliant big of engineering with the rear spacers!

this was my big question I always asked myself when I first got mine until I started to really get used to it, considering its bigger and heavier I could get so much more lift off oversteer than I could on a 172/182, it was comedy. The levels of grip are simply awesome and as mentioned above...

sale has fallen through so its staying! im secretly happy about that!! Protoxide were brilliant to deal with I had a massive delay because the guy making the downpipe cut his finger off in a machine! but they kept me well updated and threw in a few freebies to make up for it which was a nice...

I can struggle to get 200 miles in the twingo if im giving it full boost everywhere lol

yeah you can run it on 95 no problem but the map is designed to make the maximum potential from 98/99 so you really need that and will possibly take a few tanks of that before it really starts to make the most of it

I remember how surprized I was when I went from my 1.2 16v to my first 172 back when I was 17, I was getting 20 miles less to a full tank in the 172 than I was in the 1.2 16v! driving both as hard as I could of course given my age at the time lol

more updates check the thread ;)

im fully comp with them, have windscreen cover and the details are included on my policy documents under my actual excess bit. i renewed with them a few weeks back and fully comp was £18 more than 3rd party and i had a cracked windscreen which is about a foot long now lol so was a no brainer...

yellow gunk is normal its condensation, take it a good run let the car get oil temperature and give it a good blast and it will clear, wont do any harm being there anyway

which 80% of the under 30 population appear to be these days for some reason

yeah i love it but its also done 60k and while its in good condition its no more special than any other one for sale right now bar a few bolt on bits that's coming off it for sale so seems the right thing to do, hes only offered what its worth really but at the same time its someone offering...

I can see it going that way lol, mate made me a good offer on it lastnight whos just sold his CTR he cant afford to run, hes apparently giving me the cash for it on Monday morning and picking it up, standard on Monday night, so it might be sold!!! but if it falls through then its business as...

you can use an F4R throttle body off a 2.0 16v Laguna on these its a little larger apparently but ive never done it. I think the RS tuner might surprise you im sure someone on here used one a few years ago and were impressed by it, remember you will need to run 98/99 ron fuel to make the most of it

a new toy arrived today :)

Mpg doesnt matter because 200's are that awesome to drive, i love 172s abd have gad a few good ones but 200 is a differebt ball game (as it should be with 8yrs of development!)

na its fine, just use less throttle to keep it off boost or low boost and it drives as normal, fuel economy is still good when taking it easy. Ive had a good offer from a mate whos looking for something cheap and fun to run about in but I like it that much im not sure I want to sell it!

Gained 20bhp and 30lbft

half leather interior I believe as well as the exterior kit? that was all I think

na TCE only, injectors are more than up to the job on the 1.6 :)

I believe ktec redesigned the filter so this doesn't happen anymore lol

remap usually improves economy unless your driving it flat out everywhere! it cant be the same colour unless one was painted, 172 cup was iceberg silver along with all other silver 172's, no non rs was this colour

I had pipercross as I had read a review sure it was on here a few years back where pipercross filters were producing the best power gains, however all pretty much the same in reality!

no its running 1 bar of boost not sure what the standard car runs it wasn't standard long enough to check haha its pretty quick for what it is, I like it, was a big step down in power coming from the clio 200 but the expression on some people faces when they go for it and realise they have a...

I noticed a huge difference, the standard map is designed so that the car doesn't feel turbo charged, since it wasn't designed as a "performance" engine and it would confuse the old dears if it was giving them nothing, nothing then a kick in the kidneys. so now it pulls as it normally did until...

cheers! you can see how the power flattens out at 5000rpm due to the injectors holding it back, hopefully have a nice strong climb to 145bhp next :)

yeah had a bit of bother but henk sorted it out, needed an adjustment to the map, not sure if it was built for a clio tce rather than twingo or if I have something non genuine causing issues but henk saw the problem once I done a data log with the rs tuner and adjusted it, been fine since. yeah...

I find it a handy tool to have for reading and clearing fault codes on any Renault so didn't bother selling mine!
