Brought it over on uncle alberts boat ,HMS COD
Im so confused by his posts, one minute he has brought it from Italy by himself, then the next he has had it posted because its cheaper.

According to Will at Ptorque who remaps these weekly. It's 75% after a remap. Ands been writing maps for 14yrs.
But it's a good thing as you save time and money not having to change them

my red one was running standard injectors, 115bhp it started causing issues and I got a map with a bit less power for it but didn't like the way it drove, it was like a diesel loads of low down torque felt the same top end though. - here is a video of it hitting just over 90% duty cycle when I data logged it - this is running only marginally more power at peak power (they run about 105bhp standard)
RS Tuning will not remap them on standard injectors, point blank refuse. My standard gordini was hitting 90% duty cycle on the overboost on the STANDARD map. running ~140bhp on 182 injectors it was starting to max out the fuel system again!
as long as your happy with your car @Molzo that's all that matters but I personally wouldn't run one remapped on standard injectors, I know of 2 that have gone bang, and I don't know many people with them!!
The fact your car is apparently running 130bhp, and the injectors are running at 15% duty cycle LESS than a standard car, to me rings alarm bells that some one is telling porkies to you. I don't know the gent who mapped your car, or his business so I don't want to judge. Mapping them daily, running R8's and lambos on his rollers, 14 years experience etc etc counts for nothing. Look at all the companies who said you didn't need injectors when mapping Corsa VXR's?
I was once told by a mechanic with 30yrs experience who has probably worked on "lambos, Ferraris etc) that you don't need the special renaultsport tools to time a Clio 172, that doesn't mean hes right...

You got 1 in your turbo just seen in project thread
Quite easy actually, I put a guide up http://www.cliosport.net/threads/clio-mk3-gear-knob-removal-guide.800538/#post-11235475
The only huge knob in my car is my man helmet in my briefs, or when you are my passenger

Small update nothing major, I brought a blue aluminium pipe for the air filter to make the engine bay stand out a bit more
Before it was cut down
I do love the turbo chatter

Ha sounds good.
Thanks!
Haven't updated in a while
The only things I've done since November last year is buy some BOV blockers and fit an exhuast. Not overly impressed with the noise, I chopped off the backbox and it made no difference to sound, had to take off the middle silencer as well just to hear a bit of a grumble.
Next up is to fit my front mount, and get my cup spoiler sprayed and fitted

Update!
Black badges and a front mount!
Need a Clio 197 rear bumper at some point

Update - not much it happening due to funds, but I have bought a Clio 197 rear bumper with diffuser
Also fitted a manual boost controller and took it from 8psi to 12, its pretty quick now! Actually pulls in 5th!
Next would be either getting the RS stuff painted and fitted OR get a decat

If I'm being completely honest my car went into limp mode on standard post but I had already brought a boost controller and was awaiting to turn up.
Car still goes into mode only when going up a hill in 5th, but it did that before I turned it up to 12psi
Seems to run pretty happy
Finally, clio 197 rear bumper and diffuser are on.
It’s actually quiet a nice fit, no modifications required. The diffuser had to be cut slightly as it was dragging on the floor with no way of holding it up
Cup spoiler will be on in 1-2 weeks hopefully !
And yes the car goes into limp mode at 12 psi or more as no fuel. Need bigger injectors and a map

Pretty happy with it

Here's an idea... Before you spend another penny on that car (including fuel), get some spacers or wider wheels on it. Rear bumper and wing look great but completely ruined by the wheels which sit about 7 feet inwards
Bit harsh, but yeah lose the lights and the stickers as well...
Harsh but fair. Something so simple just ruins a nice car!
Thanks! Everyone’s got their own opinions and I quite like it, I think the blue and black compliment each other
Already got the spacers just haven’t fit them as of yet, just got the spoiler on yesterday so didn’t have time to do them, when I do I’ll update. Thanks for the nice words though !
Thanks! Yeah it’s a sport rear bumper, arches don’t line up 100% but you can barely notice it when a foot away
