Had the dephaser done today, car feels a little more responsive low down, but best of all no more embarrassment when idling at traffic lights, it's so weird not hearing the engine now at a stand still, if anyone in Colchester or surrounding areas needs any work done I can't recommend enough...

It's not noise I'm after so much, just want it to breath a little easier, that and an air filter is about as far as I wanna go with performance mods

Thanks for the quick reply bud. Only reason i ask is everytime i see a de-cat for sale, they always mention which exhaust system it fits. I just want one for the standard system.

Looking for de-cat for my standard exhaust. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-Sport-182-2-0-16v-2004-2006-Stainless-Steel-Exhaust-DeCat-Pipe-/291063092366?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AClio|Cars+Type%3A2.0+16V+Sport&hash=item43c4b6548e Description says direct...

before i spend a tonne of cash on having the dephaser done and all the other bits that go with it, what would be my other options? Is there different cams i can run with fixed pulleys, would it be cheaper to buy another engine that's already had the work done and just swap out the engine? I...

Looking at doing the dephaser soon, is it wise to use all genuine parts, or to save some money by purchasing a Gates cambelt kit and a Bosch water pump etc, im inclined to buy a Genuine Dephaser, just trying to save money on an already expensive job. I wouldn't use cheap unbranded stuff, but...

probably not your filter then! lol

My girlfriends Clio 1.2 16v was suffering from poor MPG, turned out to be the air filter. Even though it was not due a change, and was done with its last service it was not letting the car breath properly. Worth spending £10 and see how it goes. I think the air filter is way to small on her car...

I think i need a Snappy steering wheel in my life!

My friend did this, except he didn't get a frost it rained instead, and all the water traveled through the sheet into the car and filled his footwell with water, which is were is ECU was, killing the car. My recommendation... Don't shut a sheet in your door.

Really nice car, Loving your work.

Ill hi mp and send him a PM. Is he in the trade section?

it would seem everything is wrong with my car. Bought it 3 weeks ago, Dephaser is now making noise, so got to do Cambelt aux belt and water whist its being done, Went for an MOT today, front spring snapped on the way into the garage and it failed on discs all round and a tyre. All in all i...

Car failed its MOT today, need discs and pads all round, Do i stick to genuine Renault discs or is there a recommended brand that does the job well? Not sure what pad I'm going to run yet, as i would like to do a bit of track time next year... Any info on what you've had experience with would...
