WOW, the 172 is yours!!!! yeah i haveseen it, and i love it, i have spent 15 mins one time looking a it and reminising! cause my 172 is in HK and here i cant afford one, but hopefully when my dad retires i can get it shipped over. Anyway, my car is so slow i fall asleep, it takes ages to h=get...

I spent all day today calling round 14 different tunning companies and these suspension companies: Apex Avo Bilstein G&M G-max H&R HKS Knoi KW Auto KYB & DowMax Personal identity (Pi) Spax SRR Tein Tokico And im sorry to report that none have any coilover kits for the clio...

you can always have a custom one made up, but it will cost. I read that some dud had make a contract with a company to turbo his focus with a min of 200BHP, and when they got it wrong, they had to send it to another company to do. All for 2000 quid. So, if you really want it, just find a...

haha guys! to take the piss, i am studying Business Studies at UWE in Bristol. Its soooooooo boring and i hate it, i wanted to mechanical engineering but im not too good with the mass and i know that its a very popular deg with not much options for jobs....i need money to fund my racing...

you could buy a home porting kit and have ago with that, since a filte, exhaust etc wont give you any power.

hell yeah!! HUge brakes!!! but that would only increase unsprung weight even more...have you held one of the 320mm ap racing discs? they weigh a ton!! even the standard 16V discs weigh alot! But its worth it if you got a 500BHP monster...or you could get a big disk kit from rally design with...

hehe! just though i would try and clear it up once and for all. Its not too complicated is it....i made it simple enough, yeah? basically, its the old bycicle wheel trick, you know, when you hold it and try to move it side to side when its spinning....its hard, but easier on a small wheel.

yeah, i know. But its just so expensive for 2 nozzles and a tank of NO2!

well, the main thing is the CM (centre of mass). On a 15" wheel weighing 8 KG (inc tyre) this CM is going to be much nearer the spindle since the heavy metal rim is closer to the hub. This means the car has to expend less energy to spin the wheel. A 18" wheel weighing the same (although it will...

Have you seen and heard them!!! if you get the right one, its stainless Group A spec with a nice jap style tailipipe!!

dont bother with heavy ice, just get some kenwood dual mags as they wegh f*** all and are pretty good sounding. Weight is the key to a faster car....as in less of it. I would get it lowered first, or maybe a replacement panel filter as they work better than induction kits, and an exhaust (the...

yeah, i woudnt really fire it off until over 2500-3000rpm....but will get uprated clutch anyway. Dont think you can get a dry system to work with a wet system as ther is no solenoid for the fuel, it just pushes the NO2 pressure into the fuel regulator to increase flow...i agree, its overly...

the point is, i am trying to buy a modded engine off someone, (another rt engine) that produces 100BHP per ltr. And since buying a 5GTT egine will need to be striped and rebuilt, at least a grand to buy and mod to a decent power, then 2 grand to fit.....more of a reason to bother with the drop...

hiya mate, just looking through old mags and say your clio in the revs 0-60 challenge thing......and 7.7 secs, not too shabby, but was this before the engine mods? Anyway, the real reason i posted was to ask about nos. I am talking to a guy in the states and he has a 2nd has nos kit for sale...

um, just saw pics of the aussie 15" wheels, and no offence mate, but they are skank......i really dont want to offend, but go out and get some new wheels..stick with 15" as it handles best....i have had both the mk1 172 and mk2 172 and the 15"s are better. then you can swap tyres! or get new...

then run man run, look and enlighten us al....all i know is i have looked and seen 2 springs, an axle which looks like a TB and an anti roll bar

they are different to Cromodora the ones used in the clio trophy (V6) and clio cup use 15" wheels. Anyway, the Cromodora are real expensive, and i mean REALLY expensive! i think prima do some replicas!

nick, your right, all springs now, they only really used torsion bars to save boot space, but the new clios has a huge boot for its size. I can get 3 body boards and 3 bags of wetsuits etc in the back!!!

its the new clio S1600 rally car. uses the 1600 block and runs about 220BHP, WITH A 60MM INLET RESTRICTOR). The wheels are not available on the retail market and neither is the body kit. The whole car is available though for a cool $100,000.As this is the maximum price allowed under the S1600 rules.

yeah, you wont get any flames until you canmake sure that on overun there is enough fuel getting through (i.e.not burnt in the combustion process) and enough O2 to burn with in the exhaust, but having this means that idle will be very poor, due to over fuelling!!! will be hard mate to make it...

13mm!!!!!! thats huge, you will get more top HP, but less torque!!!! i promise this, but the exhaust and induction will only make the gases flow easier not fater therough the engine. You will need to get the ecu re mapped because it will be affected.....dunno if its worth it, because you need...

well,personally,i dont think its worth the aggro doin it yourself. If you dont have the tools, especially a slide hammer. Then dont bother,it aint difficult, but its easier and faster to let a garage do it, and if anything goes wong,then you can blame them.....oh, and is its never been done, and...

the compensator valve is just on the 16V clios as we dont have rear discs. i have my car lowered 55mm front and around 75-80mm rear, dunno how may splines, jut get them to level it out. its on 195/50/15 whells so, if you get 45 profile, it will not rub at all, mine doesnt, except on fast, bumpy...

you wont get flames mate...never!!!! because the fueling system on a 16V is not like that. When you take your fot off the throttle, fuel is cut to jus enough to kee a idle, not enough to pass through the combustion process and be burn offin the exhaust, even thenyou would need something to...

heya, you will probably be the first! problem with big bore bodies is that at low rpm the air moving through the throttle body and inlet port will be travelling slow, thus, cylinder filling and VE will be a bit poor and you will loose torue as mixture suspension will also be poor. You will gain...

oh thats good, i emailed my dad yesteday and i havent got a reply yet. But he has already contacted you, thats good. The thing with the fitting of the wings, it will require the old wings to be cut out, then they have to fibreglass the new ones on, fill and smooth, then paint....so its mostly...

Van aaken, delboy said they were doin one, but i think they cant be bothered now, oh well.

howmany are there, cause im a Ben too. does that make 4?

yes yes yes, i made that mistake and it looked stupid! bworley: what you doin with blokes in the back of your car!!!

wasnt starting anything, just messing about dad.
