Poorly Cup :(

[d4nmc]

My 172cup has been sounding dreadful recently, the dephaser pulley needs replacing so I'm planning on doing the belts as well. I've got a very competent garage close by (manic motors) who normally work on my car, what I was wondering was is it worth the extra travel to see a Clio specialist?

I was planning on a 182 manifold and a remap to compliment the new healthier Clio as well, how hard are the manifolds to fit on 1*2s? I've done pugs/a few fords before without to much jip but I know some are a biatch.

Thank you please

If you have 100% faith in the ability of the garage to do the job right, using the correct tools required for the job and at a price that you think is fair then go for it.

PS: I love those wheels against the blue coach... tres smart!

Chris and his dad at Manic have worked on my pugs in the past and in the North East they are legendary tbf, they do know their way round he Clio cup very well I know for certain.

Will somewhere like ktech really be any better? I was planning on getting and RS Tuner instead of paying for a remap at a garage, are there good guides online for it?


Thanks bud for the nice comment, the wheels are on their way out but the new ones are going yellow to

The Clio is sounding a bit dog rough after a drive home in the snow from the lakes, the exhaust is hanging off again (2 full sets of mounts this year).

Rough price for;

Dephaser pulley replaced
CamBelt&AUX belt Change
Upgraded exhaust mounts? Renault ones don't seem to be able to hold my
Ktech stealth for more than a couple weeks

I'm toying with getting a runaround and doing it over the winter, the car was gonna go the journey come the summer so I'm weighing up my options ATM.
