Great - many thanks

I have found this number - 8200109001 - does this sound right?

Please could those in the know post the correct Renault part number and spec for a Mk2 Clio 172 standard alloy wheel - many thanks in advance.

Noted a Cliosport sticker in the back window of a 182 early afternoon today (Sunday27th), in Tesco car park, Crawley.

If your after something different but offers performance and character - how about a Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo - prices are making it a good value performance purchase - in standard guise it would off 220bhp and as with most reports from those not in the know - maintenance cost is not a high as some...

Why not give Milltek a call they specialise in exhausts for Audi RS4/6's and a load of others, I have worked with this company with R&D on an exhaust system for another car and they seem to be the UK leaders in quality 100cpi high flow cats with good warranties. If they dont have a design for...

Thats good to know, I did some R&D with an exhaust company called Milltek and was behind a design for the Fiat Coupe Turbo, this involved to a 2.5" cat back with a 100 cpi race cat that was sourced from a company in Germany who made the internal 100cpi cat for the M3 touring cars. Most OE...

Hi - I used to run a highly modified turbo car and that used an AFM, the AFM has greater restrictions than a MAF and can cause the management to r****d slightly resulting in reduced performance. MAF sensors have a wider voltage range for signal so arnt so hard to tune but the down sides are...

Thanks edde.

Thanks Loony for your quick reply. Interesting about the ECU's then - this must mean that the ECU chip is write protected thus using a piggy back system such as Unichip will allow the mapper to manipulate the voltages-signals to allow the AFM/MAF lambdas not effect added more advance to the...

There may be two reason for your readings: 1) If your using a low viscosity type oil and/or it quite old. 2) The earth feed to the sender can give you a lower oil pressure indication. 3) Heat can also play a hand in the readings related to the viscosity and how thin it will go when hot...

Hello all, just a few question on the 172's (Phase 2): 1) Is there any history of bearings or front suspension wearing, if so what sort of mileage/age etc? 2) Does the ECU chip have a re-write protection or can be used with units like 'One Click' as used on the Audi's/VW/SEATs etc? 3)...

It seems quite common to find that bhp figures on normal aspirated cars seem to slightly out, TVR have the biggest difference. As a former modified turbo car owner (300bhp+) you can get better results just by by passing the ECU boost control with a bleed valve but not increase the boost...

I know of some one that did a test on one of these units - it was on a turbo car but it was found that the fan system was not efficiant enough and it created a drag factor thus resulting in power loss. A normal super charge work in a diff way and thus using the term 'super charger' can/is...

Sorry to go off topic slightly - from reading the above am I correct in understanding that the 182 exhaust manifold can be fitted directly to a 172 with no modifications etc.? Thanks in advance.

Interesting claims, I previously ran a highly modified Fiat Coupe Turbo and we ran a test whilst doing some R+D on the rollers - we ran a K+N cone with a modified OE airbox with K+N panel inside - bearing in mind that turbo charge cars can/will utilise some modes more than normal aspirated...
