Don't want to be a killjoy but check the quality of the welding on the system as mine has failed in two places on the rear silencers and i am in contact to milltek via the guys at k-tec who fitted for me back in oct 08 with the aim of having a new section fitted under the lifetime...
@ 43 miles left on the range mine illuminates up, but i thought that on my basis that it's been rather optimistic and i have only 23 miles left...although the top gear guys proved differently in there tests on 3x diesels.
glad there quality is not only affecting renaults then! did he have any joy with them at a replacement? i went for miltek as opposed to yozza/k-tec's own system cause i
used to have dealings with them from my vw/audi days and they always got good reviews by those guys
Was looking for an elusive rattle tonight when i spied this on my ns tailpipe to silencer weld! was not pleased to say the least having only had the system on the car since oct 08, i have already had the welds fail me on the other side of both rear silencers whilst on hols earlier this year...
My reply to this would be.... exuse me but this is NOT an ordinary run of the mill clio but a renault clio renaultsport..... but then saying that if they know jack s**t about cars you might be waisting your breath! but we know our rs models are special
ahh i see, it is deceptively fast especially coming from start/finish straight and into madgwick, i first experienced it back in the late 80's or early 90's by been given a ride round in a spaceframe hillman imp that was reving to nearly 10k on the lavant straight(pre kink and refurbished) ahh...
you walked the track! and you didn't get any marshalls chasing you?..it's quite a fast track and st mary's at the back is quite tricky with the hidden dip and then after that the double apex at lavant corner before the straight ,if you get chance to do a track day there or even compete i would...
i just want to add a little more voice to it, i have fitted a miltek system to it to help but a few more db is required, also what gains if any can be expected from the decat apart from the extra volumn?
mines booked in with ktec next saturday for a decat,how are you finding it so far? not to sure wheather to ask for a silenced version or not? any difference?
ahhh! i was there as well and saw your lineup along with a black gold a couple of rows in front! i was in the field ,the logic been that it was softop sunday and the area would be jam packed full of mx5's lotus's etc...... perhaps i should of gone there instead
there was a mk2 v6 in the big overflow? carpark where i was parked along with dozens on caterham's etc i followed it along with a porker along the a27 where they were having a bit of a play!
spotted this one as well plus your's in the large carpark,where mine was parked alongside a clean lotus sunbeam!(nice) did you get the marshall asking you if it was a gti? ehhh.... no i said it is not a gti but a renault clio sport 182... d*****s.
Have wound mine upto 120 and that was quick enough i think the issue is that they has relatively short gearing and well they are not the most slippery of shapes although there are worse cars out there, but as has been said it's not what they are built for
I think mine must be broke then! when leaving juctions on damp/greasy roads you don't feel it hold back like the tcs did on my cooper, so i now have learnt to pull away a lot slower and then when underway accelerate harder(ish)
More than likely the exothermic? windscreen that blocks the signal(there fitted to most renaults) they are designed to help reflect heat/uv rays! it's the same if you want to use a portable sat nav etc.. although they do have a small clear section at the bottom of the screen to site the antenna.
Since i got the 182 i must admit i have had a few people try it on but tbh i cannot be bothered(been there got the t-shirt etc..) so i just carry on plodding along at my own pace...hey they do call me captain slow at work!! LOL...
On me way into work@8ish i spied a trophy parked up in a layby on the a259 eastbound on phone? then in afternoon again on a259 in goring silver 182 gx54.... heading west and to cap it! in exactly the same place as i saw the trophy a nice silver 172 passed me going east. anyone on here?
