It's well worth doing yourself. At the very least it will give you a great appreciation and understanding of how the car works and is put together, which always helps when something goes wrong. While you are there I'd be looking at condition of the following also; Driveshaft and CV boots (easy...

It's also a good opportunity to replace the drop links and anti-rotation links. I got mine from ECP for about £50 all in.

It's only 1 bolt at the bottom of the steering column which releases the steering rack. ARB will drop with the subframe and hubs.

If it was me I would drop it and get it out of the way.

I found it easier to drop the front subframe. Split the hubs off the driveshafts/CV joints. Support the bottom or top of the engine, disconnect the 2 shift cables off the gearbox, loosen the starter, then break the gearbox from the engine. You'll want to change your clutch and slave at the same...

You would not BELIEVE how many times I've whacked my leg on that s0dding towhook!!!!! :rage:

Another option - might order one of these myself http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULTSPORT-CLIO-197-200-MK3-STAINLESS-STEEL-TOW-EYE-HOOK-TRACK-RACE-RALLY-/132128253953?fits=Model%3AClio%7CCars+Type%3A197&hash=item1ec3752801:g:NXUAAOSwzgBYyrhX

Do they use the OBD port for anything? Mine doesn't work :oops:

Just enquired, RS Tuning is £295 +VAT for 197 mapping.

I'm getting mine done in a month or so's time, so will be looking at EFI, RS Tuning, and Engine Dynamics. I know ED are about £299, be interesting to see what others are.

Welcome. I'll give it 2 weeks and your "modding list" will start to grow ;-)

Hi - Have done a quick search and can't find anything relevant. My engines on 113k and probably needs a belt and dephaser change. I've also put on a toyosport manifold, with K-Tec decat pipe and full exhaust. Because I have no cats it now needs a remap. I'm thinking perhaps an easier route to...

In a strange way that's good to hear. How much roughly did your map cost? I just need to sort out the CDA intake then it will be ready for a map.

Possibly. Mines just had a toyosport manifold, k-tec decat and k-tec exhaust and took it for a drive last night and completely gutless until above 5k. It's like a VTEC. First time I've really driven it, but I can't imagine it was like this as standard before removing the cats, so can only assume...

Cheers - took advice and went for these in the end 90mm studs for front - £23.99 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-Audi-VW-Wheel-Stud-Conversion-Kit-M14x1-5-90mm-Studs-/371640155724?hash=item56877abe4c 82mm studs for rear - £23.99...

Hi. Can someone tell me if the following parts will be suitable for a stud conversion? Studs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20x-Audi-VW-Wheel-Stud-Conversion-Kit-M14x1-5-82mm-Studs-/371663006830?hash=item5688d76c6e:g:gKsAAOSwR5dXSFGP Nuts...

Yeah, but like me don't you have half your electrics cut out

I've removed the lower half of dash, heater matrix, and all airbags. Whats left weighs next to nothing, so happy with that.

Is it worth checking all your earth straps? I've had cranking and fuel priming issues on previous cars that turned out to be bad earths. I'm not sure where they ALL are on these cars, but noticed there are a couple around the battery area, one to chassis and one to the gearbox. Just something to...

Back in 5 mins, or perhaps 3!!
