    Clio Project, My 172 As Donor, Opinions Please

    The beauty for me is starting all over again, a bank canvas and get to rebuild the whole car back up from the shell with all the existing parts off the blue Clio. I can also do things just the way i'd like it to be, as mentioned with the loom and ECU run it inside the car, basically to put my...

    White 172

    White Clio's do look awesome, love those pics of the white Clio's. My guess is they are Clio cup cars being prepped to go out, IIRC cup car shells are always white when they left the factory. I have my eyes on something that's already white.....

    Clio Project, My 172 As Donor, Opinions Please

    Ok, so i'm almost on the verge of making a decision on buying a shell with a cage intact. The plan i have it to use my Odyssey Blue 172 as a donor for all parts that will be needed to complete to swap over. I've always wanted a shell to work on, i've had the 172 for over 2 years and in that time...

    Eibach Pro Spacers

    Are there any companies selling these that give CS members discount? Failing that the best/cheapest company to buy them from? I'd like to go 20mm each side, do they supply bolts that hold them to the disc as well? Then assume it's ok to use my wheel bolts on them? Would like to get a set for...

    White 172

    I'm bored, and when i'm bored i think of random things i'd like to do to my phase 1 172, the latest idea being paint colour. I just love the white 'T' reg phase 1 Clio in the top pic on the forum, i assume it's not a 172 AFAIK they didn't start the 172 until a 'W', never did the phase 1 in the...

    I bought mine as single wheels from different beakers at £35 each and in need of a refurb. I've just finished painting them myself, they've gone from OE silver, primer, orange, primer and now metllic grey :cool:

    poorly 172 turbo :(

    The torque increase makes the difference :) are you mapping the std ECU?
  15. Ricardos

    3-6k, where do people get these prices from?

    poorly 172 turbo :(

    FMIC efficiency, turbo-SC conversions

    The Forge might be ok at the boost I'd be running, I've seen charge temps of nearly 60 degrees running 20psi ambient temp 25 degrees. The turbo id be using on the conversion has a .64 rear, runs 10psi all day and good for 250bhp. Its well in the comfort zone but the last thing I want is to...

    FMIC efficiency, turbo-SC conversions

    Do you have a price for the pro alloy FMIC? Do you read the charge temps on the RR sessions?

    FMIC efficiency, turbo-SC conversions

    1.8 F7P, is that Dales black 5? What intercooler, that's the problem I don't think any of them have been tested hence asking the question. The K Tec intercooler is also on e Bay fir a fraction of the cost, the problem is I don't want to shell out £65 up to £300 on something that givesme big...

    FMIC efficiency, turbo-SC conversions

    I was just wondering as there are a handful of people now running superchargers and turbochargers on their Clios. Do you now how efficient your intercoolers are? Have you measured the charge temps when on boost for short and longer periods of time. Do you know the pressure loss between the turbo...

    Car using oil on long journeys...

    I had an oil and filter change about 4k ago, i used ELF Renault oil and filter which guarantees i'm using the right viscosity oil for starters. I checked the dipstick last week and it was halfway between MIN and MAX lines so i topped it back up. That's 4 laps of the Nurburgring, motorway...
