i never thought of buying a clio 16v, i worked for renault as a pannel beater for years and seen loads of them, but they never tickled my fancy i am sure they are a nice car, the only one i thought about was a clio williams but they seem to be all high milage and been raced to hell and back

wheres craggy hes the vts/pug 106 gti 16v man

mike have you got one

if the 106 gti only had 172bhp then there would be fur flying

well i have spoken to a few people on different GTI forums and they say around 120bhp to 130bhp depending on the year the early models are supposed to have 120bhp and s- plate on 130bhp

D-CUP , yes mate i have found that the 106 gti handle loads better than my old clio 172 and both cars are standard, it feels more stiffer and more of a harder ride.

yeah i had a encounter with a few when i had my clio 172 i thought they where a easy target, but i was wrong i had a hard job to try and shake him fair play to the 106 gti they are pretty quick, i thought nothing of them before. if the 106 gti had 172 bhp it would be well fast

Thanks peeps

Well i have had my 106 GTI for a week now and i must say its not that slower than my clio sport 172 sure i miss the grunt of 172 but the 106 gti is bloody quick for a 1.6 it sounds great on tick over, like a minature scooby and there is loads of group n performance parts available from...

cliosport car mats did they get produced? i had a look at the thread ages ago i am after some nice mats for my clio renault do the clio cup mats but i dont know what they look like anyone got pics or know how to get hold of the clio sport ones Cheers shorty

Wicked idea, have you thought of contacting a alloy pipe supplier and get polished alloy pipe the same shape as the ducting pipe you have used in pic the engine bay i have started looking for a supplier should not be that expensive to make a look wicked could go for stainless steel...

dude if you find out let me know i think renault can get but they are around £50

mine was standard i didnt waste any money on it by putting useless performance products on it just looking at Chris nnic I had my Cup rrd yesterday. It had 169.6BHP with just an IK which probably doesnt help. Quite pleased but it is running far too rich. Put chip on and it went down to 165bhp!

Try a bigger engine , you would have more luck if you got out and pushed

What is it with renault clio 172 they are better left standard you would of thought that with a chip and inuction kit you would get a good increase in power not decrease , is the 172 crap at handling upgrades, i just dont get it with any other car you get power gains its a bit of a sh*tta...

i thought only motor cross bikes had power bands :confused:

I thought the rev limit was around 4000rpm on a clio 172

well said mate

its true though, they are better left standard with minor mods like wheels and the odd spoiler, but not bodykits and mesh everywhere they look a bit silly,

its funny how the french cars try to copy the japanese turners and in the end the french cars look stupid and over done :D

yes did mine with red hammerite, its takes a long to dry i used a hair dryer if you use normal paint was rust will break through will post a pic

41k is not high miles for a w-reg mk1 172 is it ? still i hope they will replace it , probably f**king dear knowing renault

i dont f**king know, it what ketec call the iduction kit f**king ask them :@
