Hmm yeh until you come up against one that has been stripped of weight! They produce some serious torque for a 1.8 Turbo, standard 180bhp, just a remap gives them an extra 30bhp. Same engine found in the Audi TT, my mate has a remapped one and it pulls like a Train. Natural aspiration is...

I do agree with Fred. I`ve had mine off and on about 3 times now and I finally decided after testing with RS Tuner, and it making an extra 1bhp(If that!) difference to power that I should keep it on(the extra power it gives you is all in your head)! As far as I`m aware most racing cars use PAS...

Ktec Racing dude, I got mine from there (£51.60). You need the MK1 round filter. Samuel

Still get this, sometimes when i pull off the car feels beautiful and snappy, other times it feels boggy and the car has always warmed up nicely when this happens. I'm starting to conclude that it might be a dead spot on the pedal, anyone else had this?..if you push the pedal down very carefully...

If you are fitting completely new higher profile cams how do you go about using the locking tools and getting the cams right? Because obviously you will be removing the pulleys from your old cams and putting on the new cams. How do you know the lobes are going to be correctly setup when you...

You guys on here getting 150-160mph from the 172, how is that possible? I`ve had close to 140 tops from my 172 cup and thats getting to the red in 5th...

Is this the new top mount???? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sport-CLIO-2-0-16V-172-182-TOP-SUSPENSION-MOUNT-KIT-/170571374234?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27b6d89e9a

Fitted new front brembo discs which fixed it for 1 month, now its back again.......... :..(

I didn`t have to change mine on my 172 cup until around 85k. The engine movement in these cars is normal. If the rubber in the mounts is split then change them, if not keep them. I was going to upgrade to the ktec mounts, but its alot of money to reduce movement in an engine and a bit of a...

Could someone please confirm whether this is the correct coolant temp sensor for the 172 Cup? It only lists it for V6 on ebay. I can't actually find one listed specifically for the 172...

Hi, Does anyone know if this is the same rear ARB kit that KTEC racing are selling??? They don`t seem to have a photo of the kit on that site, but I`m assuming Whiteline only do one 20mm rear ARB for the Clio range??. http://www.balancemotorsport.co.uk/products.asp?recnumber=58832 If it is...

Oi thats what I want to do to my 172 Cup!! Chevy Big block, RWD.

You didn`t research when you bought your 197. Renault already have a very quick accelerating clio, its called the 172 Cup! :p

You have compromises here. Keep the inside of the car and spend big money tuning it. If you just want cheap speed you need to strip it.

I doubt the maxogen made the extra 8bhp, it probably made an extra 1/2bhp in total. I bet if you left the ph2 box on with the matched inlets and headwork the bhp would have been almost identical(assuming good CAF location).
