    Stock Exhaust - Where to buy?

    patern part ones usually sound weird and fit w**k but cost about £40 i would go to the scrappies and get one and order a new clamp for it, they are a 1 piece system from the cat back so easy enough to go to scrappies, drop the rear beam and whap the full system off.

    Mk3 clio question

    course it can, but not worth while as ideally you would need a crashed doner car and swap everything over

    Clio 172 test drive... A few questions...

    they whistle a bit when going usually over 120 odd from the wing mirror but ive found that a proper whistle under 100mph is usually the windscreen or door window seals.

    Jumanji drift event

    few of my mates went to this last time and said it was a brilliant day out, some plonkers who couldnt drift making an arse of themself and crashing but also some good action

    Scottish Photoshoot – Certain Clio Models Required

    im out unless you need a Twingo GT lol

    £600 to spend. Anything better than Koni and Eibach.

    not sure on whats available or not but there isnt much out there for cup cars. H&R's are over the £1k mark are they not? Ive ran FK Konigsports too and rate them. if your car is mainly road use i find it hard to beat brand new genuine cup dampers and eibach sportlines for the money! throw in...

    Bad Handling

    PH1's are always a better drive imo, the PH2's i always felt needed a set of eibachs and cup dampers which transformes them. However standard they are by no means rubbish!!

    Bad Handling

    the 1.2's handle pretty well for what they are, lack of steering feel from the over asisted PAS is a bit weird but the fact it shares the same stiff bodyshell and chassis of the 172/182 means they do handle pretty well. chances are now in 2012 though that most of them are running cheap pattern...

    Clio tracking out after work at garage, should I pay?

    the garage wont usually automatically include the tracking price as the chances are if your shopping about theres always a garage that wont bother doing it and undercut them, getting the business instead, however they should deffinately advised it

    Nokia Windows Phone 8 Webcast

    looks like a nice piece of kit, Screen looks awesome! be interested in a good play with one to see if its worth running along with my 808 pureview which wont be getting retired until the new windows phone units catch up camera wise!

    High Milage matters?

    if its the same as the twingo your limited to 125-130bhp by the injectors, stick 172/182 injectors in it and you will get 135bhp+ stick a better intercooler and exhaust on it and you will approach the turbo and fuel pumps limite of 150odd bhp

    1.6 VVT

    i wouldnt bother to be honest the 1.6 16v isnt really that much better on fuel than the 197/200! your £700 on exhaust and remap would easily pay for the 200 fuel and change in your pocket!

    Renault Clio Dynamique Billabong Clutch

    i would imagine your instructors car is probably fairly new and will be one of the models with a hydraulic clutch which are a doddle to use, going from one of them to an older mk2 clio will make the clutch feel quite heavy, try and compair it to another model of similar age, as if its...

    1.6 VVT

    nothing much out for the engine as there isnt much to be had from tuning it without spending mega mega money. im sure catcams will do cams for it if you really wanted, although not a worth while way to spend your cash. they remap quite well apparently! probably only around 7-8hp but not bad...

    Happy With Your Car?

    my 200 was nothing but problems from day one, 15 dealer trips was enough, after 10 months ive never been so glad to see the back of a car while at the same time never been so sad to see one go!!!! its strange! ive had some awesome drives in it but unfortunaltey its broken or falling apart more...

    High Milage matters?

    id disagree with that, ours are always sound. my first car was a 140,000 mile 1.2 16v dynamique ex driving school car, full service history had never had anything other than brakes and tyres, never needed a single bit of warranty work or anything, and recently our Twingos are doing 100k in 2...

    my new clio Sx turbo

    i really like these, ive just chopped the 200 in and was looking at them but were still holding quite a bit of money in SX kit with nice options so ended up opting for a Twingo GT with the same engine :)

    Sold the house - cash in pocket

    not sure on your situation and if you need a house but id be sticking with the guys suggestions of getting a rental property, and id be plowing every penny you have into it minus enough for a car, probably something nice but cheapish (bmw of some sort most likely!)

    removing side decals - Renault Twingo

    Hi guys, wondering if you had any advice for removing the side chequred flag decals from a Twingo GT, they are all faded and need replaced, bit worried with the car being red too, any suggestions? just the usual hair dryer and machine polish afterwords? any recomeded polish or with AG SRP be fine?
