Hey guys, thinking of taking my 172 Mk 2 to Dastek HQ at Dalgety Bay in Fife to be chipped at end of this month/beginning of next. Anyone know of anyone else who been here for it done? Cheers, Rick

It seems that my 172 has the ESP and traction control. The first to regain control on corners and the second to reduce wheel spin. Until recently, the wheels would judder when the traction control kicked in, but when under control, it used to make like a really fast pulsating noise. But now...

i realise there is a similar thread further down, but i did promise to post some of my B&M once i got photos taken, so here goes B&M Sports Shifter (from driver side in neutral) http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1081515056__BMSide1_WEB.jpg B&M Sports Shifter (from passenger...

Thought u guys might wanna see this that i just fitted http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1081455909__PICT0003_WEB.jpg http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1081455659__PICT0006_WEB.jpghttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1081455522__PICT0005_WEB.jpg

Any one know where i can get some black matt heat resistant paint? I want to paint the visible part of my new ktec back box matt black so only the tailpipe is noticeable. any suggestions?

Whether it has been there alkl the time or whether i have just noticed it i dont know. When you start up ignition there seems to be a faint buzzing noise coming from passenger side foot compartment. It starts off quite low pitched, then gets higher pitched (but not really high pitched - if ya...

I did a search on coilovers and have found out that the best are H&R, FK and KW. H&R are way too expensive and the KWs only allow a max of -20 mm drop on the back for the 172. Which coilover systems are height adjustable to -40 or -45 on rear, so my 17s just sit inside the arch?

Folks, hoping you guys can help me out here. I just been to get the B&M fitted at a performance place and we have encountered a problem. I got a Clio 172 Mk 2, and the B&M sent to me is for "91-96 Clio, 1996-2000 Megane, 1991-96 R5". Is this the correct one first of all?? Secondly, it...

You guys prob remember me ordering a Scorpion exhaust, and i did promise an update. Well... Despite information on their website, Scorpion say they DO NOT make a 3.5" (90mm) single round tailpipe for the Clio 172/Cup :cry:. After chasing it up and gettin to the bottom of it, the boys at...

Question lads: In some topics about ECUs, chips and induction kits, people have talked about lean mixtures. Will the lambda sensor not tell the ECU to adjust the mixture accordingly??? Is it really something to be worried about if the lambda sensor works properly??

Guys, just ordered Scorpion system with 3.5" round tail from Carnoisseur Southend. Was also gonna order the Janspeed decat, but the boys there have recommended a Supersprint and asked for £80 for it. Cant go wrong there... would rather have supersprint than Janspeed!!! will keep u guys...

I have seen someone with a single 3.5" round tailpipe on their exhaust system. Can someone remember the post or tell me where to get or who manufactures a system with single 3.5" tailpipe option. Shame K-tec doesnt.

UPDATE: ALSO POSTED IN ECU & VVT Thread, but thought it might be of general interest I have heard from Dastek UK in Dalgety Bay in Fife. Stuart has provided me with a list of variables which can be altered by a Unichip. This includes "control variable valve timing", amongst an exhaustive list...

Anyone got any copies of dyno results from before and after their 172s had either ECU or chip upgrades??? If so, could you either send me a message or post in here?? :) Cheers, Rick

Did a search on this, but no part numbers yet! Anyone know what the part number for the Mk 2 V6 rear spoiler is, and iff poss, the struts aswell? Many thanks, Rick

Hi folks, I have lowered my 172 -25mm on Gmax springs. It is sitting on 17" Speedline Turinis (same as Cup but 17"). I cant lower it anymore at the front because of scrubbing. The back, however, still sits too high for my liking. I want to take at least the top of the tyre into the arch...

Folks, any of you lot know whether you can reprogramme an ECU to engage the Variable Valve Timing on the 172 to kick in earlier??? Seems like an easy way to improve acceleration time but never seen anyone mentioning it... Is it possible, and if so, how do i do it?

Alrite lads, you reckon they will be putting this 2.0 16V Turbo 225 bhp engine in the new clio aswell for 2004/5? http://www.carpages.co.uk/renault/renault_megane_renaultsport_225_part_1_20_09_03.asphttp://www.carpages.co.uk/renault/renault_megane_renaultsport_225_part_1_20_09_03.asp

Hey guys, finally got the Viper fitted, but am a bit disappointed with the lack of sound improvement. it just sound standard. was kinda expecting a noticeable change in note from the engine. Is this normal?

Hey guys, just after a bit of advice. I am running my 03 plate 172 on 17" Speedline Turinis with lowering of 25mm all round... the back doesnt look that low and have been thinking about going 35mm or 40mm on back... I am getting scraping on front with 25mm, do you reckon 35-40mm will go ok on...

Alrite fellas... I am thinking of getting an exhaust and decat from k-tec. wat do you guys think of em? Secondly, with k-tec, can you see the silencer behind the tailpipe? I would prefer just to see the tailpipe and have the silencer hidden up behind the bumper (i.e. the tailpipes would have...

Guys, apologies in advance, I know there have been multiple threads on this subject. I HAVE read them all, but am still in need of a bit of advice. What i do gather from the other threads is that * Lowering by more than 30mm spoils handling * Springs can prematurely ruin dampers if not...
