I know what you mean, people instantly think 'Ebay, it must be a bargain' eg. the Xbox 360 core I sold for £225 when they were £199 on the highstreet.

Still on a high from my £55 182 manifold arriving, i've just bagged another bargain; a brand new cambelt kit for £55 delivered. Past successes: Janspeed sports cat' - £52 Aux' belt kit - £52 182 manifold, 182 cat', RS inlet manifold and fuel - £130 And now the cambelt kit £55 I know people...

Looks quite cheap in comparison to TB's, just need to source turbo etc: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-Clio-RS-172-182-Turbo-Kit_W0QQitemZ120129890698QQihZ002QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Inspired by TomSx's Glanza and a 2.0 Nova on Migweb a few years ago, would it be worth chocking the bonnet at the back to raise the edges and improve the airflow. If I combined this with a painted/wrapped manifold, would there be any real performance benefit bearing in mind I haven't tracked...

Not a difficult job when you know where the last bolt is. I'd say 2 hours for full strip down and rebuild. Fiddly as though.

Just realised that Andy. I've got a link pipe due but I am going to mod' the centre pipe to fit the 182 cat'.

They look well. What suspension?

Cheers chaps. Is that on sportlines Middo or is it the same car as in Ali's thread on Apex?

Bent rear beam?

I thought you plugged the Flux Capacitor in there.

Apex IIRC on std shocks. Std springs on std shocks would be a different story. Nearly lost a couple of fingers when the compressors popped off an Astra Diesel spring I was doing. Horrible and genuinely dangerous job.

The hardest thing will be compressing the spring.

Should be the same as my 172, horrible 2 man job. Not difficult as such, just fiddly and time consuming. As you say, never again.

By the way, I have a Costco card so don't need confectionary, crisps or any other ambient foodstuffs.

Not for sale just yet but will be surplus to requirements once my 182 manifold is fitted in the coming weeks. It has been on the car around 10 months, absolutely no problems with it whatsoever and the car got through an MOT last week. Has a couple of scratches due to speed bumps but nothing...

I never wanted to chance a full de-cat as the 172 jobbies are so difficult to fit.

Friend of a friend style. He spent 20 minutes trying to get my 172 through last week and that is currently only on a Janspeed sport cat'. It passed though ;) It's not worth the chance though and if the parts are there, why not.

I've also got a link pipe due but i'm a very forward thinking kind of chap and want a cat' ready for the MOT.

Think boy, think.

After much commotion and delay (http://cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=233187) and the inlet manifold being sent instead of the exhaust manifold, the correct manifold arrived today. And as a bonus, he doesn't want the inlet returning. Woop woop. So £130 delivered for a 182 manifold, 182...

My 182 manifold is now officially on its way so my reserve can be let out of the bag. This guy said he would do me the manifold for £150 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140124932582&rd=1&rd=1) Drop him a line as i know quite...

As above guys, for a friend.

I'm trying not to go down the painted route Ali, not being a CS sheep and all that. Hence the V6 spoiler as well. They do say, imitation is the best form of flattery ;)

It may be a bit tatty but for a track animal, what more could you ask: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-172-CUP-TRACK-CAR_W0QQitemZ230139798528QQihZ013QQcategoryZ10410QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I was hoping he'd say the same for me but he's quoted me the full £295 for another map.

Didn't realise you had already fitted the mods. Any RR results? Value For Money

It was a 182, un-Cupped from memory. Just remember that the 182's tend to gain less than earlier 172's due to better quality inlet casts. Nevertheless, the car will be more driveable with that little lot. My mate terms my car as having ''much more reach throughout the rev' range'' in...

So something has worked with your choice of mods then. I can understand why you weren't instantly overwhelmed by the presence of the inlets, I was in the same boat. I think it is a mod' that becomes more apparent over time. As for VFM, that is a different bag o' beans.

Just trying to highlight that a 172 with the matched inlets amongst other things was clearly quicker than a 182; a car which should be quicker as standard.
