You have to enjoy it for what it is, ive come from a 320bhp leon cupra r to a clio 182, straight line speed theres no comparison, but the 182 has just enough useable power,and is the best handling car ive driven, the cupra r was a beast, but come out of a roundabout and you'd be wheel spinning...

ive recently bought a clio 182, it's got an aas custom catback, ive fitted a decat,but id like it louder. Would it make much difference performance wise if i swapped it for a yozza?, the exhaust cost £525, i like my exhausts loud

i prefer my phase 2 182 to my old phase 1, there just seemed to be so many little annoying niggles on the phase 1, i know its because there French, but there was so many rattles, and the dreaded sticking throttle cable really pissed me off, the 182 just feels a bit fresher, your never going to...

cool, thanks for the info

i tried to map my car with the rstuner the other day, i tried getting the code off henk to unlock it, but he said the rstuner cant read my ecu, which could mean the airbag ecu is faulty or has been disabled. does this mean i wont even be able to get a map if i went somewhere that does maps and...

yeah theres a comment box further on,just i cant copy and paste the screenshot in that box, ill email it to him seperately

please help, ive fallen at the first hurdle,i cant even work out how to purchase a map in the description it says i must provide details of my previous order and interface firmware etc, ive already ordered an unlock code. i took a screenshot of the ecu info to put in the comments but it wont go...

how come you removed the strut brace? Does it not make any difference on these?

if youve come this far on fitting the turbo kit,i personally would book it in with someone to get it done properly, the last thing you want is for it to go bang if its running lean/rich, coming from a few turbo cars myself, mapping is something you dont want to save money on really

it's done 167000 miles, but the owner had it from new and was all motorway miles, had a replacement engine at 150k i believe,due to main dealer mucking up a belt change. i can really notice the handling, although this is a lot slower than my cupra r,i can pretty much push this to the limit on...

it does proper shine up nice, my cupra r was black,so i had a load of black detailing stuff,it's got the coilovers and aas exhaust, and the solid top mounts, ive fitted a pipercross panel filter,all I'm doing next is fitting a decat to it, as its a tad quiet for me, just waiting for the spring...

just thought if post a pic up of the clio 182 i just bought, you all will probably recognise it, it's done loads of miles,but had a replacement engine and only 1 previous owner, i basically sold my 320bhp cupra r,to raise some cash for a house deposit, i was looking at what hot hatch to replace...

Yeah I was thinking that,I've got phase 2sidestrips,and rear bumper I could swap back

I think I might go the sell it as it is route,cracked screen,ball joint needs doing,bonnet cable snapped,sticky throttle,and I have no receipts for the belts being done,these only seem like little things except for the belts, I just don't think I'm going to keep it long enough to spend the money...

Is it me or has the price of phase 1 and phase 2s gone right down now? I've got a phase 1 that needs a few things doing to it before I sell it,but it's starting to look like I'll get more money back if I broke it,than if I fixed it up to sell on, anyone having this dilemma?

Plugs or coilpack breaking down?

I've got turbines on my phase 1,they do look a lot better when the cars lowered,mines lowered 40mm,it's nice to mix a bit of old school Clio in there,they look better without the centrecaps.

The sticks just end up washing away after a couple of washes,mobile dent and scratch man should sort it,about £60,I had my car keyed by my ex.were talking all over the bonnet and wings,most cowardly thing to do IMO,as it's so annoying, because you always think what you could do to someone,if you...

I used scratch remover,with a polishing mop on my electric drill,done the job nice

I hardly ever use my laptop now,I just use the iPhone on my wifi,so much quicker for browsing,the eBay app is costing me a lot of money lately,I keep browsing and buying crap I don't need at lunchtimes at work

I fitted mine all in a couple of hours,never done them before,in my opinion they should look like that as standard

3/4 plates? Wheres the best place?

thought id start a project thread,i b ought my phase1 a month ago,completely standard for £900, since then i have added apex 40mm springs twin catback exhaust phase 2 rear bumper and lights (i had to put the phase 2 bumper on as the exhaust hangs low) renault turbine alloys renault espace...

Unfortunately they are selling for quite a bit of money on eBay,£20 for the bullets on their own,or up to £60 for the set,due to phase 1 people upgrading,it reminds me of the days when all the laguna splitters were getting nicked

I was going to,the cheapest on eBay is over £300 compared to the last set for my golf Gti which were only £120,Im just doing it for the looks,would have saved me using coilspring compressors aswell

Can you get 60mm springs for the phase 1 172?I can only find 40mm, and only 60mm for the non sport,is it because the sport is 20mm lower than a standard Clio already? I'd not will these fit ?

I didn't realise till reading this post,I'm a bit of an eBay hore

Oh dear,I've just received a firstline one and it's all in bits,does the renault one come in bits aswell?

Mine done the same thing and turned out to be the bottom ball joint. It would suddenly jerk to the left,it felt like the car was going to roll on the motorway

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project Really nice looking car,it looks nice the way it sits
