tsammons Posted 25, January 2010 Report Share Posted 25, January 2010 HI I just picked up my clio 172 sport on saturday and what a great little car I have already ordered a k and N airfilter this one - http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=57I-6509 Has any body got one of these? Also looking for advice on cat back exhaust, I have got quotes for a custom hitech exhaust and a remus system but way over $1200 for both any suggestions?? I have found these in the uk - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330391610246&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360215815344 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290299835927 Has anybody got one or know if they are any good? Also the aircon is weak is this a normal renualt clio thing or should i regas it? Sorry for the million questions!! hope to see you all on the road or a track meeting soon!!

griffyn Posted 25, January 2010 Report Share Posted 25, January 2010 Welcome to the community Tom Weak aircon is not typical. We have a Remus back box and love it. Be wary about a custom 'zorst as they can very easily get boomy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG 172 Posted 25, January 2010 Report Share Posted 25, January 2010 Check the TX valve isn't leaking before re-gassing, about $160 to replace I think. Rear drivers side / top of the engine bay, run your hand under the little metal block thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 25, January 2010 Report Share Posted 25, January 2010 Welcome! Where abouts are you located? Check out the Ktec stealth cat-back (available from Juice Motorsport in Aus or Ktec in the UK). It is pretty popular for the 172. Enjoy your new car!

Wolf Posted 25, January 2010 Report Share Posted 25, January 2010 Welcome and agree with the above. Sounds like a re-gas, but check for leaks. IF you get an exhaust, then try to go for quality as they can get a lot of drone if you get it wrong. Stealth systems seem to work well. Also, with that K&N pod system, to be honest i have not heard good things as much i would have thought. I too wanted one, until one of the members up here in Bris said he's actually looking at going back to standard, or an element panel filter, or anything else to be frank. But on the up side, it should sound really nice at least. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsammons Posted 25, January 2010 Author Report Share Posted 25, January 2010 Thanks all for the advice I will check out the ktec exhausts. Don't really want the drone at 5km/h on the M4 on the way to work!! I'm in Quakers Hill and have seen a couple of Sport's around. Mine is a 2002 dark Blue with a sunroof fitted by Rick Damelian, 52,000 km's full service history with reciepts. and the little rubber bit on the steering wheel is still on!!!!! Does Paul V do ECU tunes? would like a tune after the exhaust and intake are done. Has anyone used a unichip on there car? I have a spare from an Impreza RS I owned.

griffyn Posted 26, January 2010 Report Share Posted 26, January 2010 The shizzle is a little device called an RSTuner - you've just missed the forum's third (?) group buy. They allow you diagnostic access and to reflash the ECU. (Insert the usual caveats about being careful here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted 26, January 2010 Report Share Posted 26, January 2010 Welcome to the site. I use a mobile a/c regas guy who does work for PaulV. He pressure tests the system before regassing to make sure all is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puncher Posted 26, January 2010 Report Share Posted 26, January 2010 Yep. I have the same lousy air con on my 172 now as well. It used to be alot better. It was never great, ive always had to crank it up to full on really hot days to cool the interior down.. I think its time mine had a service too. Welcome to the forum. I see you havent wasted anytime on doing the mods Enjoy. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsammons Posted 26, January 2010 Author Report Share Posted 26, January 2010 Thanks Gents I will take it to my AC guy near my work called concord electrical, pretty dodgy but does great AC work on all the sh*tboxes I have taken him and cheap as, full regas is $90 with old or new gas.... any way does anyone know the website to purchase the RSTuner without the group buy??

Wolf Posted 26, January 2010 Report Share Posted 26, January 2010 FYI...K-Tec racing are working on a chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsammons Posted 26, January 2010 Author Report Share Posted 26, January 2010 is it worth it gents? http://www.fastchip.nl/ especially if you have the zorst and intake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strife Posted 27, January 2010 Report Share Posted 27, January 2010 is it worth it gents? http://www.fastchip.nl/ especially if you have the zorst and intake? i think with intake you're gonna need remap to appreciated it, since with an aftermarket intake the car will possibly be running lean.
