the exhaust manbifold collects the exhaust gasses that come out of the head, and places them into the exhaust system.....simply. www.supersprint.com they dont do one for the 16V 1.4 engine, but there is one for the 75bhp 1.4 98 onwards model...

soory guys, i have a massive hangover and am currently purched over my toilet so i will getback to you later tonight. Oh, i meant 230 not 130, sorry.

thats the problem, torque higher up the rev range is no good. You want the torque to be about 2000-4500rpm. And the 4-1 wont do that. A 4-2-1 will be much better. Try looking on their site, i called a stockest in the uk to se if they had one, and they did.

ahh, thats because you have been using a 4-1 manifold as standard anyway! and you basically put on abigger bore, equal length 4-1 which will inevitably give you more than the standard one. But if you try a 4-2-1 and RR it for teh torque, you will see it works much better. i have seen this many...

well so do i!!

why didnt you say exhaust manifold ten well it looks better than the standard cast item, but the problem with 4-1 headers is that they really loose you mid range torque, in a big way, no joke. i am gonna get a 4-2-1 supersprint manifold for my clio 1.4 8V, which costs about 130 quid. If i...

i think you should too.

hmm, not having dealt with that rear suspension personally, i wouldnt really know. But what did they lok like when they were in the box, did teh middle springs seem close when they were not stressed? are they progressive? if they are, progressive springs are meant to have teh tighter or closer...

a what?

hiya mate. Yeah, the clio 16V and willy calipers and discs are the same, and also the same as teh 5GTT calipers. So, you can just go and buy a 16V set of calipers from a scrappy (where i got mine) or from EBC who do reconditioned calipers for a bit of extra cash. They bolt sraight on, sa the hub...

Chun mate, i havent seen your car for ages, gimmie a call on 07779119745 sometime so i can have a look at your car. Oh, you commin to the castle coombe trackday this sat? i am. oh, the cliosport exhaust is only really available from france, since the cliocup cars are brought from france...

the willwoods come with larger brade discs, calipers and the brackets....as the calipers wont fit on the standard hub.... but for 800odd quid, its pretty cheap.

i knew this was gonna come up. They still use the cat and just increase the bore as there at 7000rpm most of teh time. I didnt say you couldnt improve on the system, just that its good as standard, and if you want, you can buy the clio cup exhaust system....just aint fancy lookin.

i got the balss, but not the money....if that matters. anybody want to sponsor me!!

the point i was trying to make was i dont really trust RRs. Thats all.

well, i got one on my mk1 XR2, not a 172 i know, but just install it, took me 30 mins, and on a custom bracket to take it off in 2 bolts. Juts have a go.

AP racing need alot of servicing because they dont hvae good or any dust seals, needing a rebuild often. !0pots are no good reallt becasue the overall piston area is teh same as a 4 pot....the 10 pot pistond are like 5p peices!

haha, you could get 100%, but not using standard internals.....

sorry to say it guys, but the standard exhaust is very efficient. And tha cat doesnt become a restriction to power until about 200 hoprses. Its like the old 205 Gti, it has such a good exhaust, that aftermarket ones actually led to less power overall. But any good exhaust will sound loads...

20-25%....depending

hell yeah!!! cheaper than the 8000quid most want to turbo the valver.... just put in arp end bolts and maybe a thicker head gasket..

30 mins, low initial capital.....Nos kit for the lazy and only require a quik fix....500 quid would set you up easy...for 50+bhp....stonger end bolts and con rods, and 100bhp is easy. 1 month minimum and 8000 pounds, you could get a turbo......220bhp is what you can get easy, but with arp end...

oh, and for rhte RR results, since a standard car went on the rolers first, they would fiddle the settings so that it would get close to standard stated power. However, when you car goes on, all you haev to do is change one parameter on the machine, i.e. inlet temp.....increasing this make the...

youll be surprise what decent induction can do. As a general rule, the exhaust can only gain power when it becomes one of the limiting factors. So until you over load the exhaust, it will be more than fine. The magnex wont casue you to loose power. and back pressure is very misundrstood by...

how did you get the funnel to reach all the way down to the hole?

to get the best from standard brake setup, you should use group n discs which are made out of a softer steel, so heat up faster and have a better CoF. Used with Ferodo DS2000 or DS2500 pads, it will be the bast you can get from teh standard set up....this will cost around 100 quid, and its what...

haha, its not reallt that easy. It should be about 10 kilos per kilo lost on unsprung weight. But this only really applies to any rotating mass such as wheels tyres, brake discs drive shafts etc. And any stuff that forms part of the suspension, it get a bit harder. Dunno if you truly will notice...

i had a funnel too, but it dont reach the top up hole, so i had to add a pipe to the end, and this was vacuum pipe, small diameter, and took ages to fill, as it basically dribbled though the pipe. how did you do it?

nah, not a turbo,it would riun the drivability of the clio, sa the sudden boost of power will unsettle the chassis round a bend as is quite twitchy.....like the other post, asuperchager might be the answer. Because of the VVt and other electronic gizmos, its harder to get power out of the F4R...

yeah, space permitting, it should be no probs. The engine will be able to handle it, its just the plumbing in part, the charger will obviousely be on the left hand side of the engine baym and the forced air will need to be moved round to the left.........will be a tight squeeze!!
