    air filter

    one on the bottom of the airbox goes to the circle hole on the bit of metal that goes all the way round the battery area, top one goes to the thottle body on the inlet manifold and the side one goes to the hose that leads down teh front of the battery to the wheelarch where the acoustic valve is

    Clio 172 Induction Kit

    infront of the battery the airfeed coming out of the airbox pull it out and tuck it to the side. theres mixed reviews about doing this, yes you get better noise, heat soak isnt really a problem this is where the airfeed comes from on standard non rs clios if you look behind the grill there is...

    Stupid engine question !

    n2o has come on a lot in the last few years, i think the reason its no widely used is because people would rather spend the money having constant power rather than power that needs refilled all the time! plus a lot of bad press makes it less popular.

    172 Does not start first time - usual?

    ive found this problem to be caused with as described above tdc sensor on all clios not just RS clios, removing cleaning and refitting ususally solves the problem

    what % of your monthly income do you spend on your Cliosport..?

    best bet you can do, which i done was save up and save up and pay your insurance off in one payment when its due for renewal. apart from being cheaper you have more money each month

    Petrol

    if a car such as ben's above is mapped to run it then yes their may be a slight performance loss going back to normal fuel but no damage will be caused. lol @ the people who "INSTANTLY" feel a difference even although the injectors, fuel lines and pump still have the old fuel in them!!

    Clio mpg 1.2 with 26mpg

    check tyre pressures, 32front 30rear ive always ran on my quick cars but i run 40 all round on the dci for max economy haha upstream lambda worth a check due a service? check airfilter.

    Petrol

    it wont make 1 single bit of difference, i always used optimax/vpower though but you wont notice a difference. its RECOMENDED you use 98ron, its not mapped for it! take it to india and run it on there cooking oil and you might notice a difference but it wont damage it, its not a 500bhp turbo...

    Potentially Buying a 1.2 Authentique...

    id avoid the autentique crappy spec thats before you get to that terrible 8v engine and thats nothing to do with performance!! the 16v although bassed on the same engine is a big improvement not just in power as like you say its only for a 17yr old but ive found it more refined (if you can call...

    Garageing the clio and useing run about

    there is very little days in the winter up here where it is dry and not greezy surfaces where you can get the full potential out of a 172, although granted there is some. all my mates have winter cars so ive got no one to go out a blast with so it doesnt get any proper use so i dont see the...

    1.5 dci 80 or 1.4 petrol?

    thats just figures though, figures dont tell the full story, the diesel doesnt rev high so its going to take 3rd gear before it hits 60 so 0-60 its going to look slower, but put them both side by side at 60mph in 3rd gear and watch the 1.4 be covered in a big dirty cloud of black smoke. id say...

    Garageing the clio and useing run about

    i dont care what its worth, i paid £7200 for it and have just sold it for £4500, if i had used it all though the winter it wouldnt have affected the price, apart from the extra millage its always going to depreciate the way renaultsport bring out models. im into my cars i like to have a car to...
