if you dissconnect the vac pipe to the valve, it causes an air to leak into the inlet that hasn't passed through the filter,, wich in turn creates erratic idle etc. This pipe must be blanked when removing the acoustic valve
maybe you fault is the dreaded temp sensor 182's seem to suffer, iirc...
what you do is remove the reno clamp, then a second clamp (shown under the the tailpipes) is sandwiched between the car body and the reno clamp.... if that makes sense lol
doubt it, never did with the megane, the cup versions etc have suspension tweeks and different wheels, but nothing as balls out (meaning weight saving etc) as a 172 cup
lol.... can o worms mate
all pretty even bh, on a straight you will be qucker than the vts/gti marginally.... the ctr, well i've had a few commings together and its nip and tuck in my 172 cup, really very very even upto a ton, then it may inch away
welcome by the way
i have h&r's, i never used em in a track so i couldn't comment, but they are perfect for road use. have a look on yozzasport, they do bilstiens (SP) which are the dogs swingers, infact look at the group buy they have......
lol at the dark set light set..... i was looking over the cup racers at the btcc at the weekend, love em!, where you get yours from? tweeks are only down the road but are usually pricey

got one of those on mine, can't fault it, it is faster on MY car as proved on my 'private road' lol
pulls like a train, prety cheap mod that you can fit yourself
yep i was there also, though not in my cup as i don't think i'd get to park as its far too low lol!
saw verious rs's in the carpark, saw maz's and the cup, the above 172 with dark turinis whilst i was getting an icecream lol!. had a good walk round, also got sun burnt, but never saw the sun...
edit just seen you need a back box too, you'll be better off with a stealth as mentioned above, or a magnex, if you still have the cat these aren't too noisy
a centre section from reno is £280.... i got one last november, if the backbox is ok, you need a sleave to connect it to the centre section, these are £18
on my old punto gt, if you disconnected the vac pipe to it, it stopped, some guys just bunged them up, but i thought that might be too much lol and left mine connected
i'd imagine its just the solinoid getting noisy, it can hardly be heard outside the car, doesn't bother me
if the tapping on idle dissapears onced revved to about 3-4k.... then comes back after a min or so its the caharcoal canistor solinoid... its to do with fuel vapours
agree totally, but i'd be very suprised if a quailty exhauxst system made anymore than around 5 hp on a N/A engine, and when some of these systems nearly come in at 1k, thats alot of $$ for not much gain
