Hi,

So, next planned "mod" is going to be the 30.000kms ( about 18641 miles) service in a couple of weeks. :headno:

It'll be the standart service, but I want Elf Excelium 5w40 synthetic instead of the Elf Competition 10w40 semi-synthetic stuff that Renault recommends :dead:

I'm also looking for the Dension IceLinkPlus.

How much does it cost there?
They go for 179€ (121£) on stores here, and I found one for 160€ (108€) on Ebay.

Plus, I see that some of you guys feed the ipod cable dock through the glovebox latch.
The thing is that my glovebox doesn't have the interior light, could I feed it through there? Maybe open a little hole on the plastic cover.

I usually keep the AC in the glovebox closed, so there'll be no trouble in opening another hole :rasp: . But then again, I might want to get a light in there later. :S

:clown:

Cheers,
João

Hi,

Some more pics during an afternoon run with other two mates.
Finaly some sun, but only 11ºC

So, we start the trip going to the beach area following a riverside road.

Then stop for a couple of shots

After this we head on back to town. But first another stop by the beach for some more photos

And one last shot of the wonderful sunset :star:

Hope you like it!
There are some other photos from the G40's guy camera.

Cheers,
J

Dension Ice-Link+ Ipod kit as arrived ^^

Merry X-mas to me :]

 

[manji]

So, what should I do next? :-\

 

[miketheman2k]

I'am not so sure about gettin' 130hp out of the dci100 lump with just a remap. Local tuners down here chip dci100s to about 115, maybe 120hp. I think the dci100 is pretty much maxed out even as standard and french common rail diesels generaly don't respond well to remaping, at least not as well as their tdi counterparts.

Next thing that comes to my mind is the clio's gearbox. I seriously doubt in it's ability to cope with large increases in torque figures. Even the 172 JC5 box can have trouble coping with standard torque, let alone the increases...

If the dci100 gearbox is the same 6-speed box as my Scenic (assuming its going to be) then it can easily cope with the torque increase. The scenic has 177lb/ft standard and can cope with pulling heavy trailers in an already heavy car. Been tempted to get a tuning box, but a Scenic isn't exactly my weapon of choice so I haven't bothered.

 

[manji]

Hi,

Nah, it's a 5-speed JR5-120 gearbox.
Some say it comes from 1.6/1.8 Lagunas.

I was kinda of temped to go for some sort of boost/oil gauges. Maybe Defi Link Dysplay?

Or Big Brake Kit? Had to be within the 15'' wheels, though :-\

Cheers,
J!

Big brake kits are only for looks there much better you cna do for proper stopping power.
Yep gearbox is a Laguna/Megan dirivated box uses the same JC5 mounting bolts unlike the 1.5 dci 105 box.

The scenic has 177lb/ft standard and can cope with pulling heavy trailers in an already heavy car. Been tempted to get a tuning box, but a Scenic isn't exactly my weapon of choice so I haven't bothered.

Nope I'm sure the Senic used the abismal PK6 box. Possible the worst gearbox ever. 300NM is the limit officaily for that box (221lb) and they blow up way before that.

 

[manji]

Edde, do you know anything about the + than 200nm dci100 gearbox blows up myth ?

 

[Graham Gooch]

I'd love a Dci100.

Seriously tempted, as with a remap it would feel as quick as a 182 I reckon

 

[edde]

Edde, do you know anything about the + than 200nm dci100 gearbox blows up myth ?

They won't blow up its the fact the people abuse them and kill them which can happen with any gearbox. Tuning them will put more load and increase the risk though after all the 100 box isn't exactly a strong one to start with just better than the JC5.

You can blow the gearbox on a stock one up without tunning so that tells you a lot about the strengt.

 

[manji]

hehehe, I see.

 

[manji]

So, I have a chance to sell my standart wheels!

What wheels should I get? Have to be 15'', though!

Cheers,
J!

DCI 100 has equal torque to a 172 if not slightly more, but a different box. Clio gearboxes aren't great but they're better than some.

Nope I'm sure the Senic used the abismal PK6 box. Possible the worst gearbox ever. 300NM is the limit officaily for that box (221lb) and they blow up way before that.

They use the ND0 (1.9DCI) PK6 is Lagunas/V6s only luckily

The new 106 DCI's Clio/Meg/Scenics use the same box as the 197, same family as the ND0 box

 

[manji]

I reckon a Diesel section on the site is in order LOL

Any opinion on the wheels?
Thought about some ultraleggeras RenaultF1, but it turns out too dark :-\

 

[R20 CWH]

turinis in 15s matey!

 

[manji]

Hum, I've seen them in 16', but don't know how they look on the clio if they're 15''.

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/1477522

Check that out. Middle of the page, the black turinis.
The guy describes it has being 15'', but are they?

Cheers!

 

[manji]

What light wheels are there?

Kosei K1, Ultraleggera, ? ..

 

[manji]

:\

 

[Macester]

dci100's what a beautiful sight.

 

[manji]

lol, it's the same as everyother Clio. Only some people can tell them apart

 

[Macester]

You can sense it as soon as your near the car, and when it starts up the raw power and passion is there, simply amazing.

 

[manji]

Heheh, are you for real ?

The car is currently very very dirty. ****-like image

I'm not planning any more mods to it, apart from Bilstein B8 dampers when the stock ones give way.

Cheers,
J!

 

[black kro]

my Superchips strong re-map (80-110) and K&N filter will see off a Mini Cooper!

mind you it's the 170+ torque that does it - a standard 80/100 has about 130

What would one of those remaps cost mate?
Would a custom induction kit be worth a little growl too?
