Thanks everyone, Would love to have throttle bodies, but my car is stil under an extended warranty, so I think it will have to be an matched inlet. Even if the gain is small, at least I'll know that part is sorted!!! Cheers.

Sorry if that sounded stupid? I'm not too clued up on all this engine stuff, I just like going fast!!! I was just wanting to know if the matched inlets is good enough to do while I save some money for throttle bodies! Or should i just leave it till I get the throttle bodies?

Has anyone done the matched inlet thing? Whats your opinion on it? Has anyone got an AWT Inlet? What would be better : Throttle Bodies / Matched Inlets??? If I do Matched inlet + Decat ( 4-2-1 ) Branch + Chip Tune for my 172, it would move right???

I had a tiff with a Toyota RunX thats what we call them, Its normally aspirated 1800 with 195BHP or 141kw. And it is 116kw per ton as compared to the 109kw per ton for the Clio 172. I was in front and gave him the beans up to through the first 3 gears, in 4th he hauled me in quite quickly. But...

Thanks Everyone, I like the look of the straight pipe, but then again I do like to keep my car looking 172, you'll hear it when it counts and that is all that matters really!!! Cheers.

Hi Guys, Some opinions would be appreciated. I want to do my exhaust (172 ph2) so the question is, do I keep it stealth or cut the bumper and do a straight pipe???? Thanks

Hi everyone, Does the Clio 172 engine have a plain type of fuel injection, ie NOT throttle bodies? If it sounds a bit stupid, my apologies. Then,...I used to have before my Clio, a Toyota 20 Valve Rsi. Its engine is coded as a 4A-GE (4Cylinder, Wide Cylinder Head 1600cc). It came out with...

Just an update on some respect won back for the Clio. Went down to my local fuel pumps and met the OPEL on the way. This time though, empty boot, near empty fuel tank and nice level road with me in Front, managed to give him back what I got the other day. Pulled him all the way to third, and had...

I don't know bud, all badges were stripped off. But it was awesomely quick in second, I managed to keep it close in first but then as soon as it hit second that thing went, and it even pulled a bit in third!!! Was straight line! I'm sure it must be a turbo OPC. Where I stay in SA, because of...

Yeah, I think I'll have to start with a Decat, then some ITB's. True I like the luxury of my 172, just don't like losing! Cheers.

Hi guys, I got smoked today by a OPEL Astra, think you guys call them Vauxhalls, and I was thinking how much weight can be stripped off a 172 FF? (Removing rear seats, spare wheel etc? ) has anyone ever done this and can you feel the difference? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I think my car stood under a tree and the sap left etch marks in my clearcoat on my roof. How do I remove them, and how do I prevent it from happening again, or meaning how do I protect my paint. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I've just had my Aircon regassed and it's still not cold! Someone posted that the pollen filter could be dirty. Renault said it could be the high pressure switch! Any help as to what it could be would be appreciated. By the way where is the pollen filter and how do I clean...

Hi everyone, today my climate control stopped making the air very cool. Do you think this could be the coolant that needs to be checked, because the car is a 2002 172, shouldn't renault have checked this on the 90 000km ( +- 50000Miles???) service? any help appreciated!, regards.

It had a major service last week at Renault, I mentioned to them they should check my steering, It had sort of a shudder when you turned the wheel, and now the lights started coming on. But you never know, maybe they just forgot? thanks.

If anyone can help I'd appreciate. Now and again my power steering goes dead and the steering feels very heavy. When this happens the "stop" light and the battery light go on. What is happening?

Bliksem, You'd think the designers of these things would know that they get cracked quite often, and design them so the lenses could be replaced or something. Anyway, will have to stay that way for now, money better spent on other speedy things, Cheers.

Hi guys, do you get replacement lenses for them or do you have to buy a whole unit. Cheers.

Hi Guys, would like to clean my engine to get it looking concourse . Any help on how to do it without damaging things that could get damaged with water, soap etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I have been logging in to Cliosport ever since I started looking for and subsequently ended up buying a Clio 172 Ph2. I live in Johannesburg South Africa and really enjoy the Cliosport Forums. I would like to know the following, and if anyone can help I would really appreciate...
