i love my clio



  Clio 172 sport
Hi,

i've just recently purchased a clio 172 sport and figured i'd join the clio sport group. i previously had an astra sport and the clio is so much better.. i love the leather and suede interior

Ermm i was looking at gettin my car chipped and have been quoted £250 for a re-map including rolling road tests before and after ((I already have got an induction kit and performance exhaust).. this seems pretty fair, however i found a chip for sale on ebay, do you think they will both be as effective or is the ebay a bit of a rip?.. help me out ..?? (or if anybody knows where gives the best power gains) also does chipping the ecu prove very effective, is there a noticable difference? the guy at the performance centre said that there is a 50/50 chance of burning out my ecu..? Also if there is anything else that you guys can suggest to increase the bhp please let me know..

heres the link to the ebay item http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-...ryZ10410QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Anyway i live in the london area and will be attending meets so hopefully will get to know you guys.. I also go up to southend some saturday's with a few friends with rs turbo's, crx's, cosworth's and a friend with a mk2 escort 2.0 pinto.. i was actually quite suprised on how well my clio performed compared to the other cars.

Thanks for reading,

Jake

Hi

I had a re-map chip fitted to my '52' plate 172 over 2 yrs ago and have never had an issues with it. I also had a performance exhaust and air filter fitted at the same time.

I can certainly feel the difference compared to standard 172, not a great deal but there is some extra performance. I would not personally buy one from ebay, you are best to spend a little extra and get it fitted professionally, you never know if the chip is correct for the engine if you buy from ebay
