JMRS make replacement strips

26mm IIRC (lots of 25-28mm on ebay)

Look forward to seeing this on track

https://cliosport.net/threads/best-coolant-hose-clips.847311/#post-12451374 (Best measure your own to be sure) From what I have read the pipes going into the bulkhead for the heater core are the worst. You should be able to push the two clips either side of the joiner and pull but a lot of...

Circlip removed - bushing is definitely above the groove. Gave it a good brake clean and reinserted. Tested it with a 150 mile roundtrip; a night and day difference. It's removed the little hesitation I had when shifting in higher revs. Alongside the quickshift 3.0 there is no gearstick...

*Might even be dirt in the groove I didn't quite get

No I'm not tbh, its on my list of things to have a look at before going back on the road. I was going to screwdriver and hammer it a little bit to see if it will pop in more... As much as I hate getting it in and out its probably worth double checking there is no debris blocking it

Been enjoying the car the last couple of weeks. Booked in for my first trackday 5th of September at Castle Combe. Look forward to meeting a few members from here and putting the car through its paces. Going to be a lot of learning between now and then, but it gave me the kick up the ass to...

Windscreen come out? Maybe related to rain sensor

Surprised nobody's mentioned this but a 172 with aircon is always an option

Could that part have been replaced from a scenic or something? (not original)

Holy thread revival On a 1.2L I found 16" fine but a little harsh and heavier to steer (182 alloys), I run 15" now. I have 20mm spacers on the front and 10mm axle spacers on the rear. Everything clears the standard brakes, I have bigger Peugeot calipers and 1*2 discs on mine, plenty of room...

@ParsonsMotorsport Did you get it sorted in the end? Stood at Quarry to watch the CCRC Hot Hatch yesterday. Saw three Clio's running: Gulf livery, Ruffmans livery (great run on a Civic into Esses) and the green/grey wrap

It's a fair criticism. @T12 Why did you go for a 172 conversion originally? I personally love the noise it make (lots of low end and burble on idle) and that it has a spare wheel. My plan is to road trip in it and I would feel safer with a spare. I am also drawn to one-off's even if its not the...
