    General engine health check?

    Am looking to have a bit of a health/power check after my cambelt and dephaser are replaced to make sure everything is as it should be, looking for somewhere that knows the car inside out (197) and has the facilities to do a couple of power runs and identify/fix any issues that may arise. Am...

    Sorry I thought this was the other challenge, no setup changes allowed at all on this one!

    The link in your first post is a referral link yes? Usually these go hand in hand with some kind of pyramid referral scam. ie the more people you get to click the link the closer YOU get to getting a prize. Good luck though, hope it works.

    Forza 4 Clio 197/200 Top Gear Challenge

    You can't swap the gearbox to any other type. But you can change the gear ratios manually in 'Tune Setup'. EDIT/ No changes allowed to the car at all, it must be standard.

    Loss of power!

    That it just above the oil cap? Any gen on that, cost? Easy to fit? May as well change that too I guess.

    197: Slight knock on throttle let off? - VIDEO ADDED

    Small update, took the lower engine stabilizer off today and its fine so that's not very helpful. But while it was removed it allowed me to swing the engine about on the other mounts which for me at least ruled out any engine mount or exhaust knocking as I got no strange noises while swinging...

    Opening pages problems?

    Just to add sometimes when you repeatedly click on the link you're trying to open it will spark it into life and open it quicker than if you just leave it waiting.

    best car on road!

    Mate you're lucky i had one of these recently while my car was being looked at... 1.5dci, it was covered in dirt, full of dog hair, barely moved and was straight up the worst car i've ever driven. I would have traded it for that pug any day.

    197: Slight knock on throttle let off? - VIDEO ADDED

    No news from me, went to Renault specialist who didnt test drive it, said nothing was loose under the car at all, then charged me £42 and said if the knocking is still there then i might want to look at the lower engine stabilizer mount? (useless tbh) So might whip the mount off this weekend...

    197: What problems do people get??

    Mine seems like it has tons of little things that annoy me. Maybe its because my last two cars were and Audi S3 and a Mini Cooper S, maybe I'm just used to everything being 'just right'.

    Forza 4 Clio Cup Series Lap Times (Week 2- Nurburgring Nordschleife Full Circuit)

    I know for a fact the tune isn't everything but I also know a good tune can make all the difference. I'm not blaming anyone for anything. On reflection I don't think this comp is for me, personally I need something I can just pick up and race as I can get far too involved in tuning and simply...

    Forza 4 Clio Cup Series Lap Times (Week 2- Nurburgring Nordschleife Full Circuit)

    I thought the point was to race eachother not set great leaderboard times, if that's the case we should ditch the Clio!

    Forza 4 Clio Cup Series Lap Times (Week 2- Nurburgring Nordschleife Full Circuit)

    I can generally set top 300 times on the boards with an all round tune, track specific tuning makes very little difference and would be a waste of time in this closed comp anyway as you'd all have the same tune.

    Forza 4 Clio Cup Series Lap Times (Week 2- Nurburgring Nordschleife Full Circuit)

    Tunes can be easily distributed via a single persons storefront for free and Will all be locked. You wouldn't need to do it for every track as a good all round car would be fine for all tracks as no one would have an advantage. Hopefully that would shift the focus of these threads to driving...
