@Dr Jekyll - I didn't have, but you've sparred me on to put up a thread. It'll take me a few days to get it up to speed though as I've done a bit of tinkering, nothing major compared to some, but just starting the track car build journey :smile...
I've done quite a bit of work over the last few months since picking the car up - I'll post up over the next few days to catch up to where I am.
First issue to resolve was the quite frankly shocking exhaust.....
The exhaust was fixed hard up against the rear mounts and had an assortment or...
Hi everyone - well I thought it about time that after lurking for quite a few months that I put up a thread and join in with the forum.
First a bit of history...
I've never owned a Renault, nor really paid them much attention if I'm honest - having started out initially with Vauxhalls and then...
Just ordered some eibach camber bolts - will get them fitted over the weekend and hopefully all set up early next week ready for Rockingham on the 18th :up:
Thanks gents - makes sense.
What about settings for geometry? What should I be aiming for. The car will be used mainly for track - (driving there and back also).
Hi everyone - I tried a search but didn't quite get the answer.
I purchased my Clio back end of last year and have been slowly returbing / replacing bits and pieces. Brakes, coilovers etc
The car has PMS top mounts, H&R coilovers, rear 15mm back of hub spacers and also front 16mm spacers...
Thanks mate - I'll have a look.
Issue I have is the braide hose is a M10 x1 fittment - so I'll need an adaptor from M10 x1 to 3/8x16 unc if that is the size.
Been to 3 different places, to type match the exisint fitting and none have them in (euro car parts, local motorfactor & hydraquip)...
Hi gents - currently trying to get the car sorted for the Clio turbo meet on Sunday and if I dont get this sorted I wont be making it 😞
Does anyone know the union size on the front brake pipes that the flexi hose screws into or what size the standard clio flex is please
I...
Hopefully someone can help with this.
Does anyone know what the thread pattern / size of the female brake union fitting on the end of the brake pipe as it connects to the flexi hose?
I thought it was M10 x1 but its too small.
I'm currently refurbishing the brakes on my 182 ready for the...
The idea is great, but in my opinion it'd be a nightmare.
I 50/50 split previously with a good friend and it worked perfectly, but there was no need for a written agreement - everything was split 50/50 - still pee'd us both off though when one of us decided it needed new tyres or a refresh of...
Thought I'd just stick this in here as I'm here for he Beers. :tongueout:
Seriously though your luck has to change soon.
Bring on the lottery win and beers for all :beers: :up:
I used to be a moderator over on some of the Audi forums and it used to drive me nuts the same topics coming up over and over again. I therefore try my best to search before asking the same questions that have probably been asked a 100 times !
Have found the answers to most of my questions on...
Love the search feature on this forum.
Had heard about 'non renault' ones being difficult to fit.
Just looked at the pagid ones that you've put the photos on of above. Glad to know they fit as I was contemplating buying the renault ones.
I need to stop reading through these threads as I'm spending money in my head that my bank doesn't want me too :smile:
Awesome write up mate.
Can't wait to get started on mine.
Just reading up on various mods guys. I've searched and cant find the answer.
Whats the benefit of removing the PAS? Is it as part of removing the PAS pump & Aircon etc and going for less mass on the aux belt side of things, or is it related to steering feels etc?
Mine has had the rack...
Technical response :tongueout: haha :up:
Interesting as they were only fitted end of March- should they last longer than that or is that to be expected.
Not bank busting but I thought they'd last longer.
I'll have a look on the site and get some new ones ordered up.
Been tinkering and looking for problems before its MOT at the weekend
Little issue with the pure Motorsport top mounts. If anyone has any experience is welcome your thoughts. ☺️
Hi guys - looking for a bit of advice with my newly purchased Clio 182.
I bought it from a member on here and in the ad and during sale @matty1995 mentioned that there was the odd knock from one of the front dampers.
I've been tinkering and had the car jacked up looking around and looking at...
I've actually had a response from both TND and Veritec
I tried ordering online from Veritec but couldn't find United Kingdom or England in the drop down box in French (Angleterre etc) -when entering my delivery address, so assumed they didn't deliver to the UK.
I emailed them and they've...
Bit of a thread resurection this one - but I've looked at ordering this kit from Veritec online but they dont seem to post to the UK - or at least dont have the UK available in the drop down to be able to post to when completing your address onthe online form.
I've emailed them, but whilst I'm...
Another build for me to watch and get some ideas from :smile:
I've just bought my first Clio last week with theintention of using it as a track toy - so this is ideal.
I'm not sure whether to go all out - like you are now, over the winter, or use it as is (particlaly modified) and get a few...
I should have been in bed an hour ago - but have spent about an hour or so reading through this
Good to read through the progress from start to finish and I like how you've modded as you go and felt each mod change the car.
I've just bought a Clio 182 with a few bits done to it from...
Hi All - thought I'd introduce myself. I've been lurking for a few weeks now, reading up on some of the threads and its good to see a wealth of knowledge on here that I know will come in usefull. I'm farily handy with a spanner, but know nothing about clio's and hadnt even sat in one until...
