Stuck on 39.1mpg, wont move no matter how much i change speed, anyone know a fix for this? 2004 Clio extreme 3 1.2 16v, later style dash display

iv heard this aswell, but about the new honda civics, not sure if its true or not but its scary if it is - computers getting clever!

Yeah im sure mate, lots of places seem to be able to remap it gaining anything from 15-25bhp but they wont go any further due to the injectors being maxxed out

Ah ok ill give them a try, yeah not heard of many people modding them trouble is the injectors are shite and cant seem to handle much more than std power as they run 100% as stock :dapprove: so hopefully some sport injectors will fit in. I think if setup correctly the engine could have quite...

evening all hope your all good, does anyone know of a place that could manufacture me some hard pipes? reason i ask is we might have an 08 TCE Clio coming into work in the next few weeks, which if it does come im gonna snap it up at trade price :)...love it! The standard turbo setup looks...

the 197 style bumper for MK3 non sports? Had the rear diffuser etc It cost something stupid like £500 for the bumper alone Thought it was prima racing, but cant find it there anymore, any ideas?

thats very weird, i was just about to post up that id spotted these 2 aswell! And i was also on my way back from the works doo at Castle Green in Kendal, saw the Blue 182 heading south towards Kendal, the guy driving saw me and gave me a thumbs up, then saw the blue V6 about 1-2 mins later. Both...

sorry mate my bad, it didnt upload properly, should be there now

any help appreciated guys, if it helps its an 03 1.6 dynamique

2004 1.2 16v, lowered 35/40mm on springs, 16" speedline turini's grinding/scratching noise when on full lock and moving, mainly when on an incline but usually does it on a flat surface aswell. I know for a fact the springs are fitted correctly, all rubber mounts etc greased, just wouldnt...

was yours the black 04 one then? looks tidy and i think the lasses one had white 182 wheels on

saw afew nice looking clio sports at the big mayhem meet last night.. blue 172 cup with blue alloys black 182 (with a cliosport.net decal under the rear spoiler) blue 1*2 - 2 girls in it anyone off here? Also seen a silver ph1 172 knocking around, with a KTR extreme rear spoiler on.

sort of like a blued silver, anyone know then renault paint name + code please?

out of interest, power wise, one thats been cammed,full exhaust system with S/S mani, pipercross Viper kit etc and re-mapped to suit all the mods - how would it fare against something like a std VTS?

iv heard the 1.6's are nippy, seem to respond quite well to tuning? video here of one racing (and possibly beating?! hard to see) a saxo VTS, and them VTS's are quick! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa13mqQEKio

iv replaced a throttle body on a pre 04 1.2 16v for a customer at work before, all the inlet manifold had to come off, and it sits underneath it. Quite a shitter of a job, IIRC the mani nuts and bolts were a pain in the arse to remove..took a while to get everything done. Not sure what a main...

hows does it work out that cheap man?!

random find, but here ya go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD-RSuhIxlM

Just did it on confused.com, cheapest was http://www.quoteacar.co.uk/ Just tried bell, and it was £3100 F/C?!

OMG what have i started here, its gone from what car should i get, to financal, to a diesel vs petrol debate, then to a 1*2 vs 197 debate :eek: and everything inbetween! Ok then, maybe i was jumping the gun with a newer, more expensive RB 182 cup, would it make more sense to get a cheaper PH2...

firstly, thanks to all who have been helpfull! secondly, with regards to maintenence...as i said before, i work 6 days a week as a full time mechanic, so... .Servicing/repairs - all ill be paying is the TRADE price of the parts, and doing all the work myself, so that equates to trade price...

Im also from cumbria, near Kendal, not many around here, only ever seen a RB 182, 172 cup and a trophy about

mmh the fiesta ST150's are nice!

anyway lol back on topic, this has veered way off! i wasnt after financial or insurance advice ;) end of the day..my car, my money, my risk - stupid or not. Its a risk im willing to take for the car i want. but thats just me! what other hot hatches are decent then, apart from GSI, 1*2 etc

yeah man iv thought about the 1.6, but nearly everyone says its a waste of time as i will just end up buying it, spending loads doing it up, and at the end of the day still be dissapointed with it as i could have spent the car + mods money on a 1*2 and have the car i wanted

wouldnt have said it if i saw more CS's than gti/vts's
