i know the clio is rather torqey but ive seen some stats with the clios torque rising to a massive 170 ibf with some mods on, what do you need to get this sort of figure?

Has anyone thats had their exhaust changed cut one of the boxes open to see how they are inside? I ask because I have been told - 1. Straight through from inlet to out let pipe of box 2. 2 or 3 pass inside the box so that if you pushed a small tube through one end it wouldnt come out...

hi, been driving around today in the trophy and can hear a whistling sound when i start to accelerate enybody have this sound. otherwise it sounds like a induction leak to me? thanks

Guys Been looking into upgrading my brakes, (even more so now because both front and rears are really worn), still mulling over whether i want a semi track set up and go down the Pagid blue/brembo HC set up, however I may want to just plump for a fast road use set up instead. I stumbled upon...

My god! I couldnt believe just how dirty the arches were on the Trophy. Took me about 1 hours 10mins to do both sides and they are no where near as clean as i would like them. Before pics:- After pics:- Also changed the plus whilst i was at it, they were crap, its not a...

Not a lot is the answer!! I've finally removed the valve following the guide posted on this site. I also replaced the hoses with flexible alloy items, 50mm dia. for the lower intake (1st pic) and 60mm dia. for the side intake (2nd pic) using the orignial plastic fittings. Performance...

Yesterday morning i levered myself out of bed at 5.30 to make the 80 mile trip to Mark Fish to get; Goodridge Braided brake hoses, Pagid RS4-2 pads Brembo Max discs Combrake solid top mounts fitted Sachs dampers unpinned And camber (2 degrees) and alignment (10 minutes) dialed in...

Hi all, I had 218 for just over a week and enjoying every moment of it. I had a Clio 172 previously a few years ago so have an idea of Clio ownership. In between then an now had an Audi A4 1.8T Quattro and a BMW325i but needed something smaller and a little cheaper to run and of course to have...

Hi Folks, While driving my girlfriends Trophy for the first time in ages the other night I was doing maybe 80MPH when I changed from 5th to 4th & put the throttle to the floor. Lots of smoke came out of the exhaust - after double checking it (repeated the gearchange) the same thing happened...

I just posted this on RS site but thought id stick it on here as well, any thoughts? I went 4 a 40 mile drive 2day, when i got home with the engine still running a popped the bonnet and put my hand on the inlet manifold and found it was only just warm. Is this normal on a clio trophy? My...

Morning All Had the car a few months now and i'm planning to add a few choice upgrades for the Trophy: Brakes - not the powerful stoppers i thought Group N - ECU The car already has a CAT back Milltek exaust (give as lovely sound) and a K&N performance panel filter. Im looking...

Has anyone had the 172/182 Inlet manifold / GDI ECU / Cam Package from gdi? Think it looks quite good 1500 quid for 200bhp and 180 torque, i spent about £800 on ecu, exhaust and induction for my old 182 and probably didnt get near 180 torque, maybe 157 torque but nowhere near 180...

Selling my trophy i love this car its awsome as you all know!, Im looking for a change but dont think il find something so much fun as this and somhow i can see myself getting another for sure!! reason is im putting milage on it and i dont want it to be a high milage trophy as this will be a...

Power at wheels: 142.4 Bhp Power at flywheel: 185.6 Bhp (corrected) Maximum torque: 154.1 lb ft @ 5664 Rpm Quite dissapointed really. :( It was tested at Northampton Motorsport this afternoon. Outside temp: 19c. Whats happened Ben? Where is my quoted 200+? I expected...

I am buying a car that needs a little spending on it including a 12,000 mile service, new front tyres, road tax, small dent repair (paint intact) and possibly a new wheel. I really want to get the most out of this Trophy so what I want to know is: If you could make only 3 modifications to...

So today i received my new ITG filter and excitedly went to put it on the car to find a small oil leak while fitting. There is a slight build up sitting on top of the inlet manifold which im worried about. This is where the manifold joins the block and there are a couple of little wells for...

Does anyone know of a problem where the car seems to lack power. My car seems to lack power intermittently. At its worst it drives as if it has around 80 / 90 hp. It has no low down torque meaning it's most noticeable when pulling away or trying to overtake other traffic. It also runs a bit...

I thought i'd ask on here as ClioSport was going to give me all sorts of silly answers. Right the 182 is due her annual service end of Sept, done no where near the mileage, but want things kept up to date & make sure everything is as it should be. The car will go to Mike @ RenTech after...

Hi guys and gals! Got my car through its first mot today, passed with flying colours! Also had a full service, so the car feels like new now. I was talking to the mechanic, saying i wanted to put a sport manafold and a bigger exhaust on it, and his words where, and i quote! ''Its already...

what does this actually do, and how do you do it?

Hi all Thought i'd post some pics of my car, its not a trophy as i couldnt afford one :? But is the next best things its a 182 cup

Hi everyone! Just got myself a 2004 182 clio, black, had a golf 1.6 previously and my fiancee purchased a civic type r! So i needed a car that would keep up but not be silly evo expensive! I want to get an induction kit fitted and get the engine tuned, is this a good idea?? ( she still...

Steve's old Trophy is quick, but got me thinking who has done the most mods to their Trophy. If you want to add to thread just summarise with approx cost...

I have been meaning to get one since I bought the car. Finally got one from the scrap yard for £12 got it fitted, and never looked back. I never realised what I had been missing, what with this lovely sunny weather we have been having NOT :cry: Anyone that hasnt done it get it done know.

the friday just gone i took my car to sanspeed to get it remapped. it was getting a custom map on the rolling road, and i was lucky enough to get it on the dyno dynamics which they have only had for about 2 months. anyways, i know that clios never put out factory figures on the rollers but...

My car is now back from Ben, who fitted cams, modifed inlet and a re-map. His only concern was that as the car has only done 4,000 miles, all on the ex-factory full synhthetic oil, that the rings may still not be fully bedded in - wants me to use ordinary mineral for a while - and so installed a...

Just curious, My car is going back to Renault tomorrow to fnally get the creaking noise fixed... Only its 4th Trip to dealers! Was under the bonnet this evening and noticed when the ignition is on there is a loud buzzing sound coming from the engine (Somewhere under the inlet manifold) Call...
