    Morning all

    Hi Phil, the 1.8 8v engine was a general purpose unit used in loads of Renaults. It give pretty strong performance in a Clio as its such a small car. The 1.8 16v is a totally different kettle of fish - a specialised engine used in the 19 and the Clio, subsequently developed into a 2.0 150bhp...

    Soon to be Cup Owner need advice

    Get a cheap internet subscription so you can spend enough time on this board! Theres nothing really troublesome about the 172 really. Expect a few rattles and squeaks, and other minor build-quality issues that youd expect to get with a car costing 12k. They dont need much running-in - just a...

    Neon - Good or Baaaaaaad

    Ive seen boot installs with neons that looked really effective - its really just for shows / cruises though I guess. Under the car? TFATF was one thing, real life in the UK is entirely another.

    WHAT FILTER

    Pipercross do a replacement element - drops right in & works fine. Brun is right - dont do an IK unless you get a custom chip.

    gearbox or bearings

    Get em to do both sides! As soon as they replace the noisy one youll notice the other one.

    In-car 172 video footage advice needed

    Get a table bracket from Jessops. They cost £12.99. Its basically a G Cramp with a tripod mount on it. I used one at York Dragway last time out - worked fine. Clamp it onto the bars that support the passenger headrest. Needs to be quite a lightweight camera though.

    finally gave her a likkle thrash!!

    DannyBoy, Mine is lowered on Eibach springs, Magnex full system, usual bulbs n stuff. Load of plans for more next year. Once again - anything thats replaced is obviously not covered. Bolt a turbo onto the engine and the engine wont be covered anymore. But that still wouldnt prevent a claim...

    Anyhow, whatever it is Im sure it will look great with a Cliosport logo on it. Usual drill? Send a tenner & pick one up at Brands Hatch then?

    How do you prefer to drive

    No-one has really explained the click at the end of the accelerator travel. Would make a useful switch for the NOS though.
