So an update! Finally we started working on the Clio again, since only now we had a median temperature in garage of +10c. The whole rear fenders, front fenders and whole underside needed to be shaved to bare metal, then we applied around 6 coats of anti corrosion things (Dinitrol anti rust...

I just read the whole thing from start to finish. Great job on keeping this clio alive AND race ready! I lost the count on the engines, so I will probably just keep mine stock for casual trackdays! Looking forward to see you go!

An update is due on what is happening with my Clio, since the season is already here. Basically, since the car was used for gravel roads and snow for over 10+ years, the underside needs quite a bit of work. It was a hard decision but, I decided to do it with friends and at the same time swap...

Got another picture just in case

Good day! I have been working on getting all new bushes from powerflex on my clio 172 ph1. I found that underneath the beam there is this thing in it. Is this a standard rear beam, and is that a standard bar inside of it? Thanks!

Good day! I had two track days done. The season of circuit racing is probably done, since winter is right around the corner. Many updates are to come including exterior and suspension. Engine seems very healthy and I am looking forward to making little Clio go faster and look better then ever!

Good day everyone! I have a dedicated 172 ph1 Clio for circuit/track use. However, currently I am running old rally wheels on it with unknown ET. I now have 195/50 R15 Nankang AR1's tires on the car, and I think I could use lower profile and wider tire. From your experience, what wheel width...

I wish I could edit the name of the thread to "The Clio Harlequin". Maybe some mods can help?

Finally we had a section of our home track upgraded and I got a chance to give my clio a whirl! For now I got a new hood and underlip ordered, and it needs some new tires on the back. Hopefully I will get to go on another track day soon!

Good day! I have a dedicated track Clio, that I converted from gravel to trackday car. Since I have spent some time with it I feel like my current suspension is not up to the task, in comparison to the rest of the car. First, the good bits that are already done: - Full cage - Racing eat...

Good news! I got the car back right as the temperatures hit -17C here in northeast europe. - Got new winter tires 185/60 R15 Kumho WinterCraft WI51 with very soft compound - New wheel studs and nuts - Wheel alignment for snow (less camber) The good part - car held out my gravel/snow road...

Good day everyone! I finally got my little track monster back. Since I hurt the front bumper anyway, I want to repair/repaint it and add fog lights to it. Here are the questions: 1. Is there a specific 172 ph1 air duct made, and if there is where can I buy or 3d print one? 2. Are all the...

So I finally got the car to an actual Renault sport specialist in capital city. Here are the main things done to it: - New ECU with a racing tune - Engine wiring harness redone - Rear light wiring fixed - Grounding wires fixed - Radiator fan wiring fixed - Engine head work (new valves) - New...

Long coming update! The good part: The good part is basically year 2021: I had made a commitment to do at least 5 track days, which I did. However, there is a bit more to the story then that. Since my car in 8 years of ownership never had it's cambelts changed, I decided to make that...

Great job on progress! I really like the rewiring part.
