Used to be?They obviously still are.
I thought about one till I read the threads here on CS.
They dont fit,hit the subframe,poor gasket face and welds that crack.
Someone suggested polybushing the rear dogbone to stop it knocking.

add power loss to that list too, saw one on a 172, was rubbish!

Seems fine with mine. Seems to pull much better lower down the revs. It does fit but it's closer to the subframe got it all sorted with cazan racing. Two parts I need to stop the engine moving as much. Can't see toyosport being any worse than the actual renualt part being nearly 3 times the price.

google it, its cheap rubbish with the general advice being to avoid! as long as your happy though! out of curiosity why change the standard manifold when its not an issue in the first place?
Ly Cliosport 200
the standard one broke in half where the flexi part is. It's a common problem on the 197-200's so why buy or fix the standard manifold at a stupid price on what renault want for there manifold. I was put onto the direction to get a toyosport from the forums. Are these comments about the 197-200 models or 172-182 models? My auld mans a welder and he said it looked good for the value of money for the manifold. All in all saved myself over 700 quid getting it fitted. I would recommend it tbh. Only down side it's closer to the subframe than the standard but it only hits it because the standard engine mounts are shocking. If these were proberly looked at from building the car maybe the standard manifolds wouldn't break in the first place!

Fair point,though mainstream motoring press would slate a car with solid engine mounts.
If it all comes apart,get your Dad to weld some new flexis to the original manifold and refit it.
PH2 172
Full marks for not binning it.I`m under the impression that replacing the manifold is an engine out job.Please correct me if this is not the case.

You repalce the lower rear gearbox mount, but cazan racing also sell poly bushed inserts for the top swing mount and may do inserts for the lower gearbox mount aswel.

Don't people take a notch out of the car to stop these knocking?
May I ask why it's great and what benefits you have gained?
Ly Cliosport 200
That's the engine mounts on. Lower engine mount and torque mount. No knocking at all. All sorted. There's more of a vibration though with these mounts. But mostly when it's at a stand still. Doesn't bother me at all. Just letting the forums know of my fitment. Just going to get a re-map now so I get full potential of lost bhp with the pre cat removed
I had one in with the r3 manifold and its destroyed a piston on the stock map
