really? jesus the mk3 interior must be that much bigger it gives the wheel a small appearance haha!

its definitely worth doing if the engines coming out for something, I fitted my last one by removing the subframe as said above and its a pain in the arse but imo was still worth the hastle, I gained mid range torque and peak bhp, although that was fitted in conjunction with a ktec Decat/link...

I cant believe some people buy a performance n/a car and don't use the engine the way it was intended, my 172 feels sluggish on a spirited drive unless im using the FULL rev range, my 200 was even worse, they REALLY need revved!

i cant remember exactly but im sure its about 7400rpm, its a good bit higher than a 172 shift light! if you've only taken it to 6000rpm then you havn't felt the car really pull they go mental the last 1000rpm

its much smaller than the 172/182 one, love the smaller mk3 wheels when driving, everything else got bigger and the steeringwheel got smaller lol

all 182s have extra castor doesn't matter if its a cup, cup pack, non cup, trophy etc etc

I had a GT DCI before my 200, I pefered the GT!!

looking good big stuff, I remember boosting down a backroad in my mates fiat uno turbo sitting on an oil drum as it had no seats and every time I pressed the clutch I nearly fell off it!

wrong section, balls! can a mod move this please :)

as title, trying to decide if I should order one or not!

Re: Just a feed of me Clio Gt feedback please looks quite good actually, I wouldn't go for anymore white on the outside incase it starts to look too much if you start going for white front badge etc. shame its not the Diesel :p

if you look at where the outer bolt is on the balljoint you will see its off centred, that shows the extra castor ones. I searched for 10 minutes on google/ebay looking for a picture of a non extra castor one and couldn't find any but basically the outer bolt is centred rather than offset

mk3 non RS clios also got the springs changed mid life the top mounts are different, so there is 2 different specs of springs. given that the GT had different spec dampers im going to take a wild guess and say that id imagine all GT's use the same dampers/springs so if you buy the specific ones...

rs tuner doesn't support Linux so it wont work unless you can use some sort of software emulator or something its years since I played with linux

a few years back I was streaming internet radio in my clio GT because It had a Bluetooth stereo, back then I only had a 500mb data allowance, I done it one month and ran up a £150 bill and didn't bother doing it again lol!!

love them in black!

172's after a certain year use the same "cup spec" extra castor bottom arms, balljoints are the same, my 2002 52 plate has them, I had an 02 that didn't. all you need is the front hubs with 182 cup bolt spacing for the dampers, and although not needed you would want the extra castor "cup spec"...

no point spending the cash on ds2500 on a 1.2, speak to G172 on here he will sort you out with Mintex fast road pads at half the price of the Feroddos and Brembo HC discs along with superblue brake fluid, ive just fitted this combo onto my 172 along with braided lines and they are night and day...

lol if I owned a garage and had a new owner do that id ram the driveshaft up his rear end! if it has the wrong abs ring then the abs will be kicking in all the time when breaking and the speedo may play up. if not then chances are as much as it may look different its still doing the correct...

put a funnel over the exhaust tail pipe, everyone knows an n/a needs back pressure..... ;)

ah right always wondered what the corrected figure was for. it went really well that car, sold it about 4 years ago though! went a lot better than my current one :dapprove:

as above, circlip, your cheap clutch change just got a hell of a lot more expensive!

Turbo!!

sorry for the late reply just saw this, of course the usual RR issues can affect the figures both runs were done about a year apart, on the same rollers, with mainly the same "other" cars there who ran pretty consistent year to year, so that gave me a reasonably accurate figure of what I gained...

ok so the reviews aren't on their side generally, and after myself having a nose about it its not something id consider either but I genuinely wonder how much they would have sold had they been able to offer the cars quickly? the problem I see now is Renault seem to be refusing to offer...

if that's a mk2 RS I was quoted less than £300 for 2 brand new hubs and bearings so that's pretty steep for just bearings!

182 exhaust manifold gives you more mid range torque. I went from standard 172 with 173bhp/145lb/ft to same car with 182 manifold, decat, matched inlets, itg panel filter, samco bend and k-tec stealth and ended up with 188bhp/159lb/ft

I wish my 11yr old 172 drove like my 3yr old one did back in the day! lol

yep that looks like magnex as it has the plate that goes under the standard exhaust mount and attaches to that hanger on the opposite side, my old ph1 came with one, it sounded better than the k-tec stealth that replaced it but on the way home it got massively louder one night on the motorway...

I fancy another mk3 106!
