yep i do, on my standard dynamique wheels, just waiting on my wheel spacers coming to get teh wheels on the car though!! ill hopefully get pics for you tomorrow or the next day!

i looked into it and knew everything involoved just didnt have the time to get it done which is what put me off, and needed car back asap for work so was a case of.. blew up thursday, engine out donnor car friday morning, engine out mine friday afternoon, new engine in mine friday night...

ive got a lightned and ballanced bottom end for mine and a reprofiled cam from my spare engine, just never got the time to fit it n give it a go. i knew it would make hardly any difference but i was bored/curious and had a spare engine and its cost me nothing really lol.

aye deffo, mine is ok in the wet with the Eagle F1s on the 15s but the kumhos on the 16s are dangerous with the hard setup, brakes traction in 2nd gear when you catch a bump under hard acceleration which is VERY scarey for a 1.2

never tried the bilsteins, heard a lot of reviews on them (not for the clio but just in general) and all seem to be decent. so standard seems to be the best about? what about standard dampers and eibachs?

depends on the road really, on bumpy roads like a lot of the back roads i prefer our standard dynamique as its more planted,mine bump skips but thats possibly due to the 16s or the fact its too low. on track and smoother more normal roads and especially fast sweeping bends then i prefer mine...

^you need apex my friend, cant beat it for the cash! wish i hadnt bothered with coilovers for mine, it handles better and looks lower but deffo not worth the extra cash!

not touching LEDA after watching the progress of the 172 cup in PGTi like the sounds of the eibach's and Koni Adjustables as i like my adjustable damping on my 1.2, even though i find it hard to get it perfect for every day driving and am always playing with it! but also like the sound of...

you get them on ph2's aswell.

on bumpy roads my mums standard dynamique handles better than mine (probably due to my temp. 16s thats ive got on while my 15s are getting new tyres) but on normal roads mine is MUCH better

wish i hadnt been a shite bag and had converted mine, i was scared to attempt it lol so just put another 1.2 in it which was piss easy and 2.0 couldnt have been much harder!

ive heard that so was thinking about it, one im looking at has had -40mm springs on it though so was thinking of new dampers all round. just think they sit a bit high standard, but ive still got the 1.2 for lowness lol

standard expressions arn't any fun at all. standard dynamiques with decent tyres are quite good fun standard modified there brilliant!

looking at getting a ph-quick in july and already thinking about what set-up to go for. now coming from a coilover'd 1.2 16v i do like my FK's but dont find them that much better than the Apex -60mm kit that was on it before. i dont plan on spending mega amounts of money on this car but when...

nothing wrong with an expression, thats what ive got lol. less is more, auto wipers and auto lights are for gays, thats why renault brought out the 172 cup ;) mine has no optional extras and came with the electric/heated mirrors, time delay interior light, rear speakers, split rear bench...

yep they fit. imo the V6 spoiler only suits V6 clios, doesnt even suit the trophy. id get the cup spoiler thats nicer, although on a black one i think a colourcoded dynamique/172 spoiler looks better due to the tinted rear brake light

hahahahahahahahahah thats class, mk3 clios are high enough from the ground as it is, never mind with they big fukers on it. id love my mum or girlfriend to get that, just so i could take it out a crooze dressed like a poof.

900kg, 120bhp, thats about 135bhp per ton, not far off 172 performance (150bhp per ton-ish i think, and would sound mental, i dont think it would be piss poor.

16" Speedline Turinis and FK Silverline X Coilovers Standard 15" Dynamique Wheels and Apex -60mm Suspension kit only reason the turinis are on it is because you cant use the standard wheels with the fk coilovers because the tyre catches the strut. got 5mm wheel spacers coming for it...

Prepare to be VERY dissapointed lol. they handle completely shite, even compaired to a standard 1.2 clio (which actually handles ok tbh) for a 1.8 16v, they are no where near quick eather. they do look quite nice in red though but still, not what id expect from a 1.8 16v warm/"hot" hatch

Girl driving a Blue 172 cup, coming out the BP garage in denny, i let you out at the junction and you gave a wave, was in the black dynamique with the same wheels as you :rasp: noticed a cliosport sticker in the back window, anyone from here?

its straight forward enough when you get all the crap out teh road and when you've done it before! still always end up with cuts all over my hands tho lol

ive done 10k miles on mine and the box has been off twice and never noticed anything, although i did have the bolt snap clean in half in the gearbox but that was with the standard mount and due to the gearbox locking up because the cv joint went.

air in the coolant system?

unless your doing all the work yourself go for another identical engine as its so much easyer and cheaper. if you know what your doing and like a challenge go for something else. but would only be doing that if the shell/chassis is mint and work keeping!

they get 220bhp in S1600 form, and thats restricted. probably good for 240-250bhp N/A unrestricted apparently!! but your talking tens of thousands for that sort of power. i looked into the full 1600 thing when i blew mine up and was going to put a 1600 in it, could have got 140bhp out if...

verynice, wish i hadnt sold that tempest one i had for a week for £2500! should have kept it!!

gearboxes are mega fun on clios arn't they? NOT lol ive done mine, although i just left the subframe on and dropped it down at the gearbox side, always manage to get gearbox oil everywhere lol. when i was doing my engine, to save loosing gearbox oil (had just changed it 500 miles before) i...
