and they're actually fairly reliable tbh... no problems at all.

Probably true. Just the horror stories I heard from Clio Sport owners when I was considering buying one a few years ago turned me off the Renault Sport gear. Hella fun to drive but wouldn't want to have to pay for owning one.

meh, is rather look good going slow, than look ugly going fast
Ha it'll take more than a car to help you, bud! (No, I don't know you - you just left yourself wide open with that one)

Yeh I suppose they might go a few weeks without breaking down. One owner I spoke to gave his service rep a spare key, so each time it broke down he just called the service rep to come and get it.

we had a regular clio 1.6A without breaking down since 2007, it finally broke because my sister went into a pole. so, they're not that bad.

a 2002 laguna that was sold in 2008 also worked very very well, no breakdowns at all..

the laguna before though. LOL. gearbox issues gearbox issues gearbox issues.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
