God i love CS lol Guys he was winding you up, pinch of salt comes to mind! Long story short: If you have a budget (lets say £4000) to buy and mod a Clio with then buy a PH1 for £1500 and spend the rest on modding it, then it will get round a track faster than any other RS Clio cup or not...

Cat D Integra DC2? - wont find one for £2k Cat D EP3 CTR? as above BMW E30 325i? - wont do over 30 mpg Mk2 Golf GTi 16v? - long in the tooth now, youngest ones will be 17 years old

it is true about nwer cars, more safety, more weight = less fun but after doing a fair few miles in different GTi's i do like them you really have to man handle them but they can be fun, just no where near as much as the Clio lol

I use the term mate lightly, more like cocky t**t lol

welcome mate :)

My point exactly mate, and look at the price difference between mine and a Type R MK5 Golf GTi, which he says is faster than mine, even though every time i pass him he had 'heat soak' or is loosing boost blah blah.... Id love a MK5 GTi, but again you cant get one for £2000

too small for my liking, nothing against them :)

Was having a convo with a mate who was telling me how rubbish my Clio is, why don't i sell it and buy a 'better car' etc, which got me thinking... what out there is 'better' than my Clio? Lets say mines worth £1800-£2000, with £400 of mods It does 0-60 in under 7 secs 0-100 in under 18 Can...

ha lol glad to hear its nothing serious :)

oh my god the boys not safe lol whats he done?

must be a long drive ;) lol

Ah but you can't use a Transit as they get round the 'ring in 10 mins.....

Look at the pipes, and on the 1*7's they are on the left near the large o/s engine mount, will prob have a blue and red cap on them Bear in mind you need an air con machine to drain and re gas though

Mwah xx Nice one mate

your clutch still feel ok mate? mine still feels spot on (prob grenading itself in the car park now)

there is a chap over on Renaultsport who is on 162k in his cup.. change it mate, i changed mine after 110k and iv just done it again (129k) and it feels completely different, will improve the feel no end

you can get them out, iv done it on my 120k old calipers and fitted a new bleed nipple, it is fiddly id admit that but you can do it

that a trade in you had mate? looks mint!

Cant see that as im at work mate, but if you mean the VVC, it simply put the inlet cam is adjustable to move the timing to give better low rev running and emissions, and re-adjusts , which in the 'old days' you had to have it either one or the other if that makes sense lol

water pumps last pretty well mate, so i wouldn't worry there

if your going for a rebuild, then buy a high miler mate, will save you at least 1k and tbf mines coming up on 130k and still kicks out std power

just dont get the red mist and the box will be fine lol, i used to be quite a regular at pod till a few years ago, and thats a pretty nippy time, my old hybrid (the one that Martin bought off me then rolled at Anglesea) ran 14.0 @ 99 and your nearly matching that so thats bloody good going

Swings and rounda bouts mate, some people will some people wont tbh

persoanally id replace it, but if the guys say it will be ok then it should be ok :) Id drain the cooling system, dry it right off, silicooooon and new o ring

im not sure what the hight pressure one is, the low pressure one is Sauns silver std looking ph2 172

i will imagine there is a rubber o-ring between which will be leaking but also remember mate that thats a plastic housing on a metal head, so i would imagine the plastic housing has warped and you might need a new one

Well a ph1 172 will cost you about 2k, and for that money you can have decent exhaust and brakes, and should be able to get up to around 210 bhp, maybe a lil more, throttle bodies would be lovely, iv driven ktecs low boost turbo conversion and its bloody impressive for just over 200 bhp

your spraying a trophy white :( fair play seem to have some skills behind the wheel mate :) Oh the white stickered up ktec clio is the throttle bodied one, not turbo'd

you got it yet mate?

bloody hell mate you could have got the polish out ;)
