    itb spec input

    No need for injectors! 4 bar fuel pressure regulator will do the job and give you better fuel atomisation too. That's what I run on mine with the DTH ITBs, ported head, cams etc. for 207bhp. This is where I got mine...

    New guy with a modded 2014 Clio RS

    I wonder if anyone will make a LSD for the EDC gearbox, that would make one very tempting for me.

    T4RKO 172 Cup

    I've got a 182 boot floor to replace mine with but I have thought about keeping it, its where I put my two 10L fuel cans for a track day!

    182FF Track Wheels. ET45 or ET38

    I'm probably quoting Mark now but...spacers for show, correct offset for go. @NorthloopCup

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    Next year should be great if everything goes to plan! I've got some fibreglass doors to fit, I've ordered a fibreglass boot in the group buy and I'll order some polycarbonate windows in the new year. That'll be my weight loss sorted. Unfortunately I have no fabrication and machining equipment...

    AST coilover questions

    I went from Koni adjustables with Cooksport springs to ASTs with 400lb front and 285lb rear springs. I didn't notice much difference in compliance but on track its like night and day. Very good coilovers. I live on a peninsula between two beaches so I have corrosion worries but so far they've...

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    Got my cage from Mark Fish today, I went for the full safety devices cage with single removable door bars and removable diagonal and harness bar. Like this, but in black... Also I trial fitted my brake bells, tweaked the CSKs for the standard mounting bolts and gave them a lick of black VHT...

    Goes well :)

    Matt's "had to have another" 172 Cup

    Fair play, that's a lot from a 1.6

    Matt's "had to have another" 172 Cup

    Cup looks tidy :) What's the full spec of the 106 engine? I'm guessing it's a GTI6 engine?

    leeRS Clio Sport 172 ph2

    Looks good, nice low mileage too! It would be worth refreshing bushes and shocks (get the 172 cup front and 182 rear) whilst doing the springs, it'll make it a completely different car :)

    172 cup disappointed bhp

    If you look at the graph it's down over the standard inlet between 4-5k rpm and then better from 5-7.5k rpm. You go buy your 225 and then I'll show you who's faster :wink:
  18. Grandpa Joe

    172 cup disappointed bhp

    Lol! It's faster where it needs to be. Overall area under the curve is greater with ITBs and that makes it faster. If you want power below the point where you use it on track why not just buy a diesel....

    172 cup disappointed bhp

    I overlayed my results a while back. The engine has cams and headwork, 182 manifold, sports cat and twin silencer exhaust. Before had matched inlets and ITG filter, after with with a KTEC ITB kit and my custom angled trumpets.

    182FF Track Wheels. ET45 or ET38

    I still use plastic spigots on track, no problems so far. I've done about 10 track days on them and it gets used properly ;) Put it this way the DS2500 pads glazed, the discs were blue but the plastic spigots were fine.

    182FF Track Wheels. ET45 or ET38

    I paid £360 posted from mine from Top Gear. Last time I looked tweeks had them for £380-420 ish
  22. Grandpa Joe

    ITBs are they worth the money/ trouble

    I like mine! They definitely need a set of good cams though. Either piper 285 or catcams 421 would be my choice although you may need a slightly raised idle speed. Make sure you take it to someone who knows what they're doing and you shouldn't have any problems. I find mine pretty quiet...

    My Nurburgring project smurf blue......

    FYI the lightest wheels easily obtainable for reasonable money are OZ ultra leggera which are 5.4kg in Clio fitment and are ET37.
  24. Grandpa Joe

    My Nurburgring project smurf blue......

    No they're advertised at 6.2 but that's for a bare wheel with no centre cap, maximum centre bore and 5 studs and ET45. The higher the ET number the further in the arch it sits. ET35 is the best option IMO

    My Nurburgring project smurf blue......

    TD 1.2 are 6.7kg in ET35 then take off around 100g per 5mm e.g 6.6kg ET40

    Mine doesn't use any. Haven't had to top it up in the 2 years and several track days I've had it.

    172 cup disappointed bhp

    If you're going to do cams then fit something better than 428s! The ITB kit you're looking at is good value.

    My new EP3

    I like the wheels, but that's only because I know what they are! I do like the EP3. A bit of weight loss and that will be quicker than a Clio I reckon.
