Didnt do a before and after, but Id say 15 - 20mm is about right. Youll notice it cos its your car, but it wont have the slammed look that you see a lot these days. It would have to be a hell of an accident for an assessor to notice aftermarket springs I would have thought - theyre black just...

Really cant understand the logic behing charging extra for a mod that changes the look of the car hardly at all and improves the handling making it safer. Ah well...

I must admit I didnt tell them about the Eibachs. I dont think anyone would guess that youve fitted them unless they were really going over the car. The drop is so subtle even the people who service my car (Renault delership) didnt notice. Tesco seem pretty reasonable about mods though - no...

Good morning, and welcome :D

Thats a k-tec twin 3" - almost the same though.

I did springs, filter and exhaust within 6 months of buying the car. Never had any hassle over warranty. Just remember to tell your insurance company.

Thought youd be running it in with a few laps of the Ring! Might be an idea to throw a spare wheel in the boot for a long trip like that?

Road Cup is surely not safe enough to race - no harness, fire extinguisher, electrical cut-off switch etc?

Cost me £45. Then you need to get the wheel alignment checked which will be another £30-odd.

Red car has Eibachs, Silver one is standard. You can clearly see the difference. http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/clios.jpg

Nice one. Id buy one of these if the price is reasonable.

Taken it on track lots of times. Taken it to, and beyond the limit. :devilish: And paid the price in tyre bills.

Here you go: http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/net.jpg

Sounds logical, wouldnt know where to start to do it. Warranty :confused:

Good point about the warranty issue - those yellow springs are a dead giveaway! Thats one good thing about the Eibachs - virtually undetectable.

And you spray the BLACK side of the filter!

Parallel topic here that might be worth watching. Hard luck BTW! http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=6&TopicID=46233&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=6&TopicID=46233&PagePosition=1

Not sure whether anyones actually tried this, but there was a thread a while ago where someone said they wouldnt fit. Probably better to get some aftermarket ones that are for your model - springs arent expensive after all.

Couldnt agree more :D

All of the Magnexs are cat-back or backbox only. They dont do a de-cat for the 172. Cat-back is about £335 fitted with our discount.

lol @ dogmaul, welcome Jon! Mk1 vs Mk2 is just a choice issue - both cars are great. Depends on your personal taste and budget really. Most of the problems are well understood now and dealers know how to respond.

Doddle to fit if its a panel filter, as long as you have a torx screwdriver set anyway. Just undo the 6 torx screws, loosen the jubilee clip that holds the pipe, take the lid off the airbox and youre in. No need for any additional pipes etc.

Wow duplex Cliosport stickers!

Looks great Hannah! http://www.magnexexhausts.com/hot_news/images/top1.jpg News!! According to the Magnex site a cat-back system with both tailpipe options is now available for the Clio 1.2 16v.

No you want the airbox to be sealed to stop all that nasty hot air from getting inside. Both holes should have a pipe. The only reason for removing it would be to make the induction note a bit meatier.

Light sensitive reversing lights maybe? They dont some on in daylight :p

have you ever heard one of those things Mike? (I havent, just wondering).

15.4 @ 88.8. But that was before I realised that you had to use 4th gear :p

158 at the wheels, only other engine mod is Pipercross panel filter.

Yeah thats about it - deep & rumbly (sp?). Quite loud around 80mph, quieter either side of that. Felt loads faster after Id had it fitted but Im sure that was just the noise. Car makes good numbers on the rolling-road though so the zorst must be ok.
