    Phillips bluevisons sidelights

    ive found them fine, they are perfect for non xenon equiped cars a nice match. better off removing the sidelight bulbs anyway if you have xenons thats how we've all been rolling for years!!

    inlet tract on turbo cars

    i was under the impression longer was bad for torque or have i picked it up wrong and its just a case of TOO long is bad for torque?

    172 182 what the diff

    they are at the back of the engine so its subframe dropped, steering column disconected from the rack, then you need to wiggle and turn them to get it out! ive done a couple. takes me about 6 hours without ramps!

    inlet tract on turbo cars

    does inlet tract make a difference on a turbo car like it does on a n/a car? Ie if its too long ull loosr power and torque?

    Handling difference.

    shell and chassis is the same only difference being springs, dampers and ARB

    GSD3's or T1-R's

    ohh aye and avoid conti sport contact's like the fuckin plague, not sure if there is a new version out but i got a set on the front as i was desperate and needed tyres there and then one day and jesus christ they tried to kill me a few times!

    GSD3's or T1-R's

    T1-R's on the clio for me arn't as good as the GSD-3's but they are bloddy good for the money!! really its down to driver preference and the car, i swear by gsd-3's but my mate hates them.

    Megance dci

    1.5dci is a brilliant engine, doesnt suffer from the issues the 1.9 and 2.2 get. hold off for a dci100 if you can

    New Deep Black 200

    the all important question, how is it compaired to the 197, is it worth the change?
  18. Martin_172

    crashed my car, 6 weeks of ownership

    rear dampers must be gone if it 180'ed and u wernt speeding!

    Handling difference.

    lol are we talking 1.6 16v dynamique spec here? ive never driven any older ph1 clios but the dynamique spec ones with sport suspension package handle brilliant, much softer setup than the 172 but the grip is there
  20. Martin_172

    172 182 what the diff

    182 exhaust manifold is the BEST mod i done to my 172 along with the k-tec link pipe/decat difference in mid range pull was brilliant. imo if you dont want the hastle of fitting the manifold (its a pain) and changing the cat every year for mot (once you have a custom cat made for it!) then id...

    Handling difference.

    theres a big difference however tyres make a massive difference on the non RS models. 1.2's have horrible electric PAS on them with no feeling or weight. the rest have the sports suspension package and hydraulic PAS and just feel like a softer setup of the 172. when i got my 2nd dci (my...

    1.2 16v fast road cam?

    not sure if k-tec can offer custom remaps now that they are in partnership with GDi, not sure if its just omex they do remapping for

    1.2 16v fast road cam?

    its one of they things if you can do it yourself then go for it or atleast have it fitted cheap for the following reasons... 1. you only have 1 cam not 2 2. reprofiled cams cost a fraction of the cost of aftermarket cams 3. the belts are a piece of piss to do on 1.2 16v's 4. it will give gains!

    My Expression - Couple of new pics

    looks good, id keep the black plastics as said but id ditch the silver 16v badges for black ones, the 2 different colours of silver clash, swap the side repeaters for genuine clear ones, swap the headlights for grey backed ones, and colourcode the spoiler, sorted :)
  25. Martin_172

    1.2 16v fast road cam?

    you can have yours re profiled, easy to change, belt is easy, something mild will still give gains without a map but ideally you want a custom map on it which is going to end up making it not worth while from a financial point of view

    1.6 Clio, first pics!

    not a ph2 VTR they are 100bhp and do 0-60 in 9.1 seconds book time which is actually .3 of a second quicker to 60 than a 1.6 16v clio but obviously thats nothing on the road, not work arguing over anyway. you will never get 130bhp and good mpg from one, the standard inlet manifold is balls so...

    1.6 Clio, first pics!
