Doing something like this has been on my mind for months and an itch I needed to scratch as quite frankly I was losing interest in the Clio. So I decided to bite the bullet and buy this, for me it's the cheapest and easiest way to get more power. It's not 100% complete but i'll now enjoy getting...
It looks so much better, very tidy. What i've noticed with peoples engine bays is the great attention to detail in finished work but can't help thinking if you go to that much effort why not treat it to a spanking new header tank with fresh Type D coolant :cool:
In 5 years I've owned 5 RS Clios
Odyssey Blue Phs1 172
172 Clio Cup
Racing Blue 182
Petrol Blue 182
But my favourite Clio and car for the wrong reasons is the white phase 1 Clio 172.
I bought the shell and built it up on my driveway from pretty much bare with the cage already in to a road...
There's a hook on the inside of the petrol filler cap to hang the cap on when filling up with the V Power :o
The number of people (in general) I've seen that put their keys on the roof of their car when filling up.

I took these down in Sussex near Brighton a week back with my Canon bridge camera. Only point and shoot pics as I haven't worked out or tried adjusting anything yet.

Weird that ECP don't sell them as a mate bought the gasket from them weeks ago. Apparently silghtly thicker too creating a better seal than the genuine Renault item. I'm refitting the cat and was gonna pop into ECP to buy a kit
The same problem happened to my 182 a couple of months ago, i checked the plugs, fine, unplugged the injectors one by one and all were ok, swapped ignition leads, still running on 3. It turned out to be a faulty coilpack only a few months, it wasn't a genuine part from Renault but a Eurocarparts...
A friend of mine does cleaning/detailing, i guess as a hobby so i let him loose on the Clio last Sunday. Foam, wash, clay, machine polish, wax etc. Anyway, pics below. Turned out well i think and was also a chance to have the wheels off and clean the wheelarches and coilovers.
