Forgive for my "technical" English, I'm from Argentina and sometimes the names of the parts are different. I'm trying to install the ATB diff but I'm having the "crown" of "final gear" (the gear that transfers the torque to the diff). The quaife diff doesn't have this gear, so I' m supposed to...

Did anyone tried one of those MSD ingnition systems on a F4R ? I know there are gains on other kind of engines but I never heard of one on any clio, even heavily modified clios.

The 15 amp fuse frome the climate control keeps burning and the screen turns off. I guessed it was just a dirty fan, but I put the sistem on manual and turn the fan to minimum but it keeps burning. I tried tu turn of the AC and leave the fan on, it lasts a little longer but it burns anyway...

I´m thinking about taking some weight from my flyweel. I´ve read many post about rotating mass, torque, and stuff. I wonder if a lightened flyweel would take some stress from the weak gearbox of the 172 clio.

Those things are supposed to make a better combustion of any unburned fuel. http://www.msdignition.com/ Is it really worth it ?

The power steering it´s supposed to take mechanical power from the engine. In a revy engine as the 172 this may be a lot of power. I wonder: if I remove de piston from the pump or just remove the whole thing and replace it with a regular "non power" steering the increase in power whould be...

I´m planning to put a 50 or 70 hp shot of nitrous (wet) on my clio 172. Since I don´t want to blow it up maybe I have to lower the compression, maybe 10.8 or something... The guys using nitrous what compression and nitrous dose are you using ?

I´m planning to put cam´s and possibly nitro on my 172 and I wonder if I would need a new clutch (I possibly would). A paddle clutch may be too much... So I´m asking you guys... PD: I´m from Argentina...

I´ve read many threads on gearboxes since I wrecked one. I don´t want that to happen again. Anybody knows how to modify the gearbox to make it more resistant to abuse ? I don´t know welding aluminum somewere, using better bearings... better sync ... anything...

I´m planning to install some cams on my 172 clio sport. Those cams were never tested on a standard ECU (remaped)... I´ll probably need a Piggy back. I´ve read many threads on this but they were kinda confusing... What´s the best piggy back for the F4R keeping the fbw throttle control. Why...

I´m planning on getting some cams on my 172 ph 2 clio. Here in Argentina I can get some cams that work ok but they were always been instaled in race cars with standalone ECU. I don´t want to use a standalone ECU on my 172. Those cams run with standars springs and the standard hydraulic lifters...

I have a Clio Sport 172 2003 and they tried it on the rollers with the induction system and without it and figures indicate that it´s better with the standard filter. Is this possible?

I´ve read mani threads on increasing engine capacity on the F4R. They say that it reduces the power peak, that means the car´s top speed would be less ? (with a remap and an otherwise standard engine). After reading the other threads it still unclear to me if it is the same increasing bore and...

On an clio mk2 172. Is it possible to improve the stock throttle body or changing it to a ITB but without loosing the traction control?

I´ve been searching the forum and they say that de mk2 172 has no brake bias valve and the ABS system handles those things. I want to increase the brake pressure on the rear brakes. Any ideas how can I do this? Is it possible to do it from the ABS computer or something?

I´m from Argentina, my english is quite good but I don´t know the exact meaning of "poly bushed". I´m talking about the lower engine mount of the clio sport 2.0. I need to know what material is that, if you could describe it to me it will be great. Thanks.

I guess all of you know about the weak gearbox of the clio. I´m planning to get some cams and TB but I´m worried about the gearbox. I heard in a forum kinda like this one but in Argentina that some guy put the gears of the Laguna V6 on the clio´s gearbox or something like it. I also heard that...

In my 2003 clio sport, I have this problem: When I brake hard (but not enough for de ABS to activate) at high speed (around 200 km/h) the car starts to get sideways and I have to countersteer to compensate. At low speeds (60 km/h) the car brakes perfectly straight. The problem it´s supposed...

On the 2003 172 clio. Is it a way to get rid of acceleration lag from the (wire controled accelerator) without loosing the traction control ?

I read a few threads on throttle bodies for the 172 and there is one thing unclear to me. They all talk about bhp figures above 200. I wonder if they get to those figures with just the throttle body exhaust and a remap or if they also get a new cam to get to those figures... And one other...

I´ve blown a clio 1.6 16V gearbox (and a couple of months later I´ve blown the engine...). I´me getting now a 2003 172 and I am worried about the gearbox. Many people had problems with the 172 gearbox and many other people talked about doble clutching and some other stuff they did to shift quick...

I´ve seen in many cars those front and rear strut braces, they claim that they reduce chassis flex and stuff... Did anyone tried them ? Is there any noticeable difference?

I tried to look this up with the search engine but it doesn´t work propely (al least to me). I want to know the changes the clio sport had since 2001 when it came out to 2006. Thanks in advance ...
