Hi,
Basically I've been hovering around this forum for about 6 months reading about all sorts and the humour has me in stitches, I had the intention of getting a Clio sport until a 225 cup came up for a good price with only 65K on the clock. Needed a good clean and a service so it's had a valet (just so I can see the potential) and had the belts done and main service. Had a carbon clean which seems to have been a waste of money, and had a remap. So I've chucked a grand at it in the first 6 weeks. The remap still needs to be checked on the rolling road when they get it back, but said it should be roughly 260bhp. It's only mod is a ramair panel filter.
At the min I'm still an apprentice so I can't afford anything drastic or to have all the bits done in one go but what I want to do at the min is:
Centre caps
Renault sport mats
Machine polish
New brake lines/pads
I have been following other people's threads with great interest and taking notes, so just want some opinions on what tyres are best, I've got Goodyear f3's on at the min with plenty of life but when they do need replacing if the michelins are better? And what brake lines would people reccomend along with common mods I.e anything worthwhile, I've heard about the airbox mod but also read about heat soak so I decided, the main thing though is sometimes it feels rather sluggish and very occasionally idles quite rough or hesitates to return to normal idle revs and wondered if this could be down to the injectors.l, or any ideas of what could sharpen up the throttle response, without going down the 630cc injector route. Before the so called carbon clean I had seen 42mpg on a run and can't get above 38mpg now so anything that can potentially improve this would be most welcomed. I've also fitted an aux cable to the basic stereo for now to get me by but in the not too distant future would like to upgrade and improve the sound quality, but keeping the stalks still on the wheel. Eventually it will probably need a few areas spraying but that's just me being picky, stone chips etc. If anyone could reccomend places to buy Renault parts at good prices it would also be much appreciated, I'll check back what I've written when I get home but at the min this is just a quick few ideas I've been thinking of
