Re: just brought my first clio :)
they do fine for stance, my old 65 used to bounce about on them! they were actually pretty good when paired with the apex dampers on my 1.2 too!
awesome, its surprizing how many people overlook cambelts! id look into fitting something like a mk3 steeringwheel doesnt have to be a RS one just the normal dynamique ones, i never understood the issue with mk2 wheels (thats why i had my ph1 one retrimmed) until i bought my mk3 and now im...
Re: just brought my first clio :)
eibach give you the best ride comfort and performance but stance isnt their strong point, Apex give you a nice agressive stance being -60mm but they soon kill the dampers and the ride and handling isnt the best!
keep it standardish and just enjoy the cheap motoring. best bit of cash i spent on mine was a decent service, done it myself but changed oil, filter, gearbox oil, coolant, brake fluid, cabin filter, air filter. i found with a panel filter (think it was a K&N i had) it spooled that wee bit...
intercoolers hold money usually about £100-£150 ish to buy.
injectors forget it unless you have a minimum of about £300 to play with and thats if you get them cheap!
works best for turbo cars both petrol and diesel.
its worth doing a 172 however i got a decent gain from mine, more in drivability rather than power. my DCi flew when it was remapped!
lol no point in owning a standard one!! they need unleashed! i know the feeling ive not spent a penny on my 172 the last 2 months a bit fed up spending
looks good you should get a slightly smaller front plate measured to the recess, i done that with my old dci100 and looked good! a tiny difference but makes it look cleaner and a bit more agressive

retro fit a set of cornering lights from what ever model fits your year and fit a set of HIDs
i beleive if your car is a mk3 ph1 you can use ph1 dyn/dyn S initale/197 units
if its a mk3 ph2 you use ph3 dyn/dyn S/GT/200 units
someone can confirm that im sure though
i didnt change it, its standard, but no you wont tell a difference in sound its just a bit of pipe, the sound is to do with the exhaust system silencers, pipework diameter and type of metal used. no tailpipe is going to make a difference in sound!
conversions are only worth it if you can do it yourself, i recon if you have to ask if a 1.6 16v engine will fit in the bay when renault make a 2.0 16v clio then its not worth it!
1.6 16v is pretty much the same hastle as a 2.0 16v, its not worth the hastle for an engine thats a bit quicker...
stick an induction kit on it or decat the standard system. i used to think i was cool with my big exhaust on my 1.2 then i realised it just showed off how slow my car revved!!
jesus christ what is it with this place these days.
surely you dont need to be an engineering guru to work out that simply adding a bit of extra pipe to an exhaust isnt going to make it any louder? or is it just me?
me and aldo from here were chatting to a guy when i had my ph2 172, he drove and old astra gsi and told me i should get a miltek exhaust as his mate has one on his 182 and it does 170mph!! we just went along with it! lol
