Cool thanks :)

Is it hard to do? The ones on my ph1 have had a nasty spray job and look naff. I was thinking of replacing them with some silver Ph2 mouldings with carbon bullets

I noticed a post from a while ago saying these don't fit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OZ-RACING-GENUINE-CENTRE-CAP-BADGE-M582-55MM-/300854428400?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item460c5242f0 But the part number and 55m diameter matches up

Re: mintys 172 turbo What is the driveability like? I'm saving for the same conversion. I'm more concerned about it being too torquey giving torque steer, wheel spinning etc.

Picked my phase 1 172 today and it handles really well but it's a bit high and there's a too much bodyroll for my liking. I'll be getting some polybushes and a Whiteline RARB but I need to choose a set of coilovers. I'm after some coilover for more lows but rather than just going low I want...

Re: Ph1 172 Well I picked it up today and I don't regret it. What a great little car it is, a bit slow compared with what I'm used to but the handling and the car in general is really good. I'm impressed!

I've read the Konigsports come with camber adjustment. Is this with camber bolts supplied with the struts or another method?

I did some digging not long ago and I think they're all Avensis 296mm discs. They'll be redrilled to suit 4x100

Re: Ph1 172 £6k with 12 months T&T and its yours! I haven't started taking it apart yet.

I'm off to collect this in the morning. 86k miles and FSH, Renault service inc. Belts, waterpump and depahser done at 81k. Plans are coilovers, Whiteline RARB, polybushes and turbo kit. I'm not going to go very far with modifying it. The turbo kit will be fitted after my wife has used it...

I fancy a pair of these on tilting frames (I need to keep the rears in) Has anyone fitted them? I'd like to see what they look like Also is there much of a weight saving between the standard seats and fixed back buckets?

I'd like to convert my Ph1 to a Ph2 dash and wheel. I've seen pictures of the finished article but is there a guide on how to do it anywhere?

Tell me more!

That's something you could correct with a 1 degree camber shim. Wouldn't worry about the toe

Ph1 172 with B14s. What is the optimum camber, caster and toe for road use with the odd track day thrown in? Is it worth messing with the caster? Also how much rear camber..1, 1.5, 2deg.? Obviously I want good handling but without sacrificing tyres. Tyres are 195/50/15 Yoko AD08

Well after reading all that. Does anyone know where replacement discs are available from :)

Phase 1 172 that will be running the engine dynamics 230 setup. The 2.5" bore will be fine for that setup, it's the cat that will hold it back so long term I'll get a sports cat to suit. If the extra silencer in the centre section will keep the noise down in the cabin I'd rather have that in...

Any photos of how the 195s and 205s sit? I've got the same dilemma

B14 for me, yes they have the downside of no damping adjustment and the rear are a seperate shock and spring with an adjustable seat for the spring but they are the perfect fast road setup IMO. They are great to just drive to a track day and drive home again not touching any settings. However...

Cheers :) that's what I needed to know. Apart from a custom system are there any other stealth systems available?

It'll be going on a car with standard inlet, cams, turbo and cat so there won't be any extra intake noise going through the exhaust and the turbo and cat will help quieten the exhaust down too. I want it pretty quiet so there's no noise intrusion but after 5k or so when I'm giving it some I'd...

Yes. But the total area over which pressure is applied by the 4 pistons is greater and more even, also there is no flex like with a standard calliper. I know that they will be better than standard, no doubting that. But I've had cars before where people have said "just uprated pads and discs...

Is the Jam-Sport 295mm kit worth the outlay? More for track days rather than the road as the car will have full interior etc so a bit concerned about fade on the standard setup after a while. Also what discs will replace the ones in the kit? Are they custom or perhaps 5 stud discs redrilled...

Brilliant, I know what I'll be going for then :)

What is the ESP like on the Ph2 Clios? Is it quite invasive or does it work well. I'm more concerned about it on track days. Also does the 172 cup suffer much without ABS?

Looks a good kit for the money. Compared it to the Rotrex charged graphs and the torque is very similar with a bit more mid range but not too much. Peak bhp is lower. Anyone got one fitted http://www.engine-dynamics.com/TurboConversion/pid685/cid103/ClioSport172/182TurboConversionKit230BHP.asp...

Has it been done?! If so pictures would be great :)

The door bars are removable though so you could just take them out.

That's pants! Why advertise it as being suitable for keeping the rear seats?!

I asked SD themselves and they said they don't know and forwarded the email to Mark Fish.
