eh, where did "the lanky northerner" (j3ned) come into the equation??? im not saying a serious N/A clio will match the clioTT in a straight line, im not THAT stupid!!!

the problem i found with the 1.2 16V engine is increasing the inlet length = less power BUT the new inlet on the 04+ is MUCH shorter than the pre 04 as for noise, it wont make bugger all difference IMO

never raced or rallied, one careful nut bag owner........

VW???

i complete forgot about the custom ones, doh, ill get on with it tomorrow

Its crap, VERY crap!!! cable TBs are the way forward

plus ECU remap/piggyback ontop

ring renault UK and MOAN LIKE A MOTHERf**kER J3ned can supply a NEW crate engine for £1200+VAT (second hand are cheaper and come with a 90day waranty)

exhaust ports are better on the mk1 172 engine, plus the box is much better too although, cost wise would be similar bondy, ill have a word with Yoz, he might be interested if its cheap

erm depends how many fag breaks we have!!! end of the month i hope

a bulb is about £150

ITG, speak to BRUN

easiest way to remove it is to remove the front left wheel, then you can remove the front arch liner and gain acess easier you will see a black tube with a flap inside it, remove this and chuck it in the nearest bin

thats the new inlet + plenham for the 1.2 16V, SO much better than the pre 2004 sh*te one (throttle body is better too!!!)

and gains from the cheaper one are roughly????

182 suspension isnt hard, FAR from it!!!! tyre pressures chap, general rule of thumb with all clios is 3 -4 psi less in the rears then in the front

Quote: Originally posted by BenR on 09 August 2005 a properly done inlet manifold can gain between 8-12bhp......SOLID. including ECU work ben (you always forget that bit!!!) how much is a PROPER one from you?? and i always get confused with this, but are we on about just inlet manifold...

twist and pull i think, unless you mean the one thats connected to a black canister behind the passenger fog light, then its a pull jobbie (small button thingy to push in)

under bonnet temperatures are pretty high on 16V/Wiliams Open filters such as K&N/PiperX/Green etc arent sheilded at all from heat, hot air contains less oxygen than cool air = less power the OE airbox is infact a very good design, Hippys pink racer will be going back to original airbox with...

standard air box with ITG filter

ring matt at specialist breakers, im sure he can get you a new one for less than that forum name j3ned

Ring Andy @ GDI 07010716440 air filters to throttle bodies, ECUs etc etc

oil wont ignite chap, unless it was under silly pressure that be a fuel leak (doubtful) or a loose pipe touching the exhaust im thinking brake pipe

nowt wrong with the standard head either, the inlet ports are cncd from factory, not bad, but you can make some decent power with a good flow session

wouldnt bother touching the exhaust manifold, no need really inlets however do need matching, as theyre SO crap in terms of casting differences maybe 3bhp
