Went for a drive at the weekend, wife was out with my daughter so I thought let's go for a proper little drive out. The first real drive since having it mapped and the RS2 fitted etc.
I have refitted the Klarius repo exhaust as I just couldn't deal with the KTEC drone anymore. I've...
Pain about the damage, especially to both vehicles. Likely a shitty coincidence tbh, given they've lived their so long, unless there's a new neighbour thinking they own the place.
Exhaust could have worked loose. Give the fixings a nip up.
Went for a blast around some local roads yesterday. Probably the first 'real' drive since having the RS2 fitted etc. The 172 was fun before but that little bit extra hp and the added noise is something else!
Small update.
Took a trip to Caffeine and Machine for the Renault Sport day.
Was a decent day with good weather.
On the way up I heard the "ting, ting, ting" sound of a bolt flying off and then and then an even louder exhaust. Yep, lost a Cat to Cat back bolt. My ears bled when I got home...
Yeah, really pleased with it.
No more power. I just wanted to get the best out of the current hardware, I also don't want to start chasing a number. Next is some maintenance, some bushes and quality of life stuff.
Are we local? I have a 7 degree timing bar you can borrow.
Took the trip to Engine Dynamics yesterday, stayed the night before as it's 4 hours each way and my booking was 9am this morning.
Turned up this morning to be met by Andy who's took me through the mapping process. Very knowledgeable guy and I felt very reassured, even if some of what he said...
@Yeti_runner feel a bit stupid asking you this, but is this yours?
Drivenbydg_ on IG.
(feeling stupid, because how many Renault Clio phase 1 172's are in the US)
I am very invested in this. I'm looking for a non droney, not too loud, but still free flowing exhaust.
I've a 182 manifold, sports cat and KTR resonated exhaust.
I was considering the Piper but at the time, @cjgower put me off as you said it was loud when you fitted it.
No pictures or videos, but I took the Clio out for a little drive yesterday.
It's incredible. I didn't really know what to expect having never tuned and NA car before, but I was really surprised and impressed. It goes so well and the sound of the RS2 inlet, just amazing. Very pleased.
I've...
ECU off to Andy at ED.
Couldn't help but throw the 2118's on. Because no one has ever seen a Clio with 2118's on.
They won't be staying white. Off for a refurb and a change of colour.
The old airfilter for the RS2 inlet was hanging. So found a similar item.
I was speaking to Andy at...
On track to have the RS2 inlet fitting to my 172 Cup.
One thing that's bothering me is the filter. It looks like someone has run over it.
I'm struggling to find a replacement.
It's a Pipercross item. However nothing on thier site seems to match the size of this one.
Anyone have any...
