rear dampers shot? mine were gone and i lost the back end at 25mph on a wet roundabout, lucky because i was going slow by the time it slid round i was only doing about 5-10mph so managed to catch it but had never felt a car lose control so easy, chcked both dampers and they had both emptyed...

my mk3 1.2 16v runabout is on 70k and goes like f**k compaired too any mk2 1.2 clio for some WEIRD reason!! much more torque around town, 30mph is fine in 5th so there not as bad as they sound. best test drive one though. dci would be my choice tho!

its there to stop u blowing it up not to actually blow it up!

nope its solid when reving and doesnt move much when rocking the engine back and forward (just the amount of movement you would expect from new mounts. when coming into my street tonight i turned into the drive quite quickly and started braking when turning and heard a little clunk that...

This cars doing my head in, its just not running right, thought it was the engine mounts so changed them all and problems still there so trying a few other ideas! if a driveshaft or both driveshafts were shot, would it cause the car to jerk when coming off the throttle or quickly hitting the...

yep but they last 72k and dont need changed every 12k!

GET ON THE FAIL BOAT!!

my old 1.2 16v clio was around -80mm all round, on anything more than a smooth road it didnt handle worth a f**k, fast bends it would bumpskip in the bends. i personally wouldnt be going any lower than -40mm on a 172 unless it was for track only use.

deffo worth it!

its a high performance high reving engine, you can use cheap oil in it if you want, your car, but theres no way id be using tesco oil when hammering my cars nuts in round a track. oilman im sure will come on and back me up with this and the real facts about these cheap "fully synthetic" oils.

its worth the extra to use genuine cables.

wont give any power gain, slightly better driveability.

manifold split or burst at a joint and thast probably why its banging, my 1.2 16v used to do that when the flexi burst.

im sorry but thats a lot of balls ^ i use millars fully synthetic motorsport oil in the 172, changed every 6k and always use genuine filters

19 fully comp 1yrs ncb clio 172 - £1200 done a quote on a 225 today too after looking at one and got quoted £1450

its basically the same engine so would all bolt on fine, its the engine management that would be the problem (and expensive part)

i carefull owner never raced or rallied hehe!! pitty it ended there you were reeling in that porsche! lol

im cutting my original cat down and welding the flanges on so it fits the new manifold for mot time. insurance is covering it no problem.

lol yeah cant wait tbh! NOT lol

yep thats the one matt cheers, i assume thats renault price, do you have any in stock 2nd hand?

never expect miracles with these cars lol, wouldnt be doing it if i was paying for fitting (i beleive k-tec charge around £250 odd quid? and around £600 for the manifold and link pipe!) i got my manifold much much cheaper than that ;)

anyone got the part number and price for the battery tray that the engine mount bolts into? mate just text me to tell me hes sheared the bit the mount bolts into :S

deffo superior for midrange torque which imo is where the biggest gain is needed, possibility of a loss in top end power but should be ok

superior design, got it cheap, easy to fit, so its going on :p

go look down behind your inlet manifold ;)

aye k-tec decat pipe, new manifold to cat fitting too. doesnt matter looks like its lying under the car on axel stands in the pissing rain, its all good aye be quite happy with 3 or 4 bhp man, that + my k-tec exhaust and RS tuner map should give me a touch over 180bhp or there about (kepping...

changing my manifolds over this week, now ive read the guide about droping the subframe etc which isnt a problem but after having a look it looks as if it would be possible to do it from the engine by after the inlet manifold was removed? or am i hoping for a bit to much!? lol

mine done this on my old clio, changed the clutch cable and it was perfect!

Progrip Bonybridge without a doubt! John is a top guy, done all my clios including setting up my old coilovers. full lazer alignment using some fancy big machine lol you get a full printout showing you your setup and what hes changed etc. all for £40+ vat or there abouts Pro Grip 8 Canal...
