yeah totally, and far too gutless an engine for such a heavy car! my old GT DCi 106 would do 60mpg daily even when driving it quickly

not shy at all, bet that's no fun in the wet lol!!!

good cars should have got the diesel though!

monster stickers refer to the monster under the bonnet I assume?

as good as 172/182's are they are nothing compaired to a 200!

this was 195/45/15 were not cheap though!!

yeah mate just mask it all off

the usual cloudy headlight problem... 400, 800 & 1200 wet and dry then polished up with compound using machine polisher

mine was an absolute heap, but it was just a dodgey car. id have another one no problem, what I will add is I agree with people above, the MPG vs performance is not good at all, HOWEVER... MPG vs fun? they are brilliant

no one will know what the engine will take, personally I wouldn't want to be pushing it past much more than just a simple remap will get! I know there is a few guys in other parts of Europe running 140 odd bhp and 220lbft from these engines with just a strong map!

my standard 200 used to go off like a shot gun on gearchanges when I had been giving it death, im sure it was broken

R32 GTR over ANYTHING!

surely setting your ECU to overfuel on over run is going to just end up washing the oil off the cylinders or am I a million miles away?!

I find T1-R's are fine for lower powered cars, I ran them on my DCI clios and they were fine, just run a bit of a higher pressure than you normally would on your tyres and the soft sidewalls aren't so much of a problem. they are priced as a budget tyre but are night and day better than most...

plans are keep it standard bar a decent suspension setup and 4 pots. even got a standard exhaust coming for it!! ordering a full front end refresh for it every bush, mount etc

you sure about that? guys were doing it on the Clio 1.6 VVT which is FBW

RS tuning remap is all you need on these, no need changing turbos or anything like that I never got round to mapping mine just unplugged the MAF sensor on the airbox and it pulled much stronger, was smokey though lol

oh and a bonus... its got RS inlets yey!

cheers dude! coming along nicely, just waiting on 4 new engine mounts being delivered on Tuesday...

hammerite smooth silver and just some cheapo ebay super high temp I bought years ago for the ph1. hammerite is perfect for the job!

car is getting new engine mounts so decided to give the engine a clean up... as it stood rocker cover (car had a new engine recently and it had apparently been sitting under a cover outside for a while) inlets, engine mount and fuel rail guard painted (throttle body was also done...

fancy plates plates do have the name and postcode on them? or atleast mine do!

I love them they are staying, well when I say staying these ones are getting sold and im buying a new set to refurb, only reason being is the previous owner just 3 weeks ago had 4 brand new budget tyres fitted to these so they are ideal to sell to someone as budget tyres are not for me lol!!

Exhaust is coming off it too, im looking for a fast daily driver so a new genuine renault system going on

tell me about it! its getting new engine mounts tomorrow so ill have it all in bits and ill start getting it upto the standard my old one was!

gave it a quick going over with a clay bar and then the machine polisher to bring the paint back into some sort of reasonable condition and then decide what panels need paint got this to deal with tomorrow... then these...

Was a mates, I wouldn't say I got a bargain but I wouldn't say I robbed him, we were both happy! LOL so is everyone! Clio number 8, RS number 4, 172 number 3 :)

cheers mate, ill stick a project thread up soon, gonna order a new set of engine mounts, front end refresh and take it from there. has spax adjustables and springs, and what looks like some sort of custom stealth exhaust and sportscat

needs some work and an MOT but its straight, good nick, 99k miles, full history and belts done last month by a specialist :)

definately however ive just bought a ph2 172 for 1300 quid and sold the twingo for 3500 thats a lot of change and 200 less than it cost me 8 months and 15k miles ago so it was the right descision
