No I'm on my macbook and not my phone and these images are huge, I can see how stinking it is. Need to throw a bucket over it!

Ha. Yes mate! Fabia VRS days. Nothing beats a PD lump. Remember your detailed build, was it an ibiza FR you had? Got a clio thread on here?

Some of you may recall I bought an Arctic Blue 182 to keep me busy through lockdown etc. I finally got it up to scratch had a blast at a local trackday and then a mate who I'd been bugging for a year to buy his 182, decided to sell it. The one I should have bought. Originally he planned to...

Well took me 2 days (with work getting in the way) but I finally finished your thread! Brilliant read. Looking forward to updates when you get it back on the road.

So my time with the Clio came to an end.... The car did its job over lockdown keeping me busy and out of trouble. However and opportunity came up to buy another car that I wanted to tinker with and enjoy. Yep another Clio. This was ownwd by a mate of mine for the last 6 years...

Hi, just tried this code and it's not working.

Absolutely. These tyres were the only option I had at such short notice. I had them on my Megane RS250 track car and they were shite. They have lamination failure. I didn't expect much at all and I was right.

I was checking my pressures before and after every outing on track, ensuring they were optimal. Camber and tracking could well have been out as I've done loads of work on the front end, so I'll give you that. Have you done Llandow before? It is notoriously hard on tyres especially the front...

22.5.21 Llandow Llandow is almost on my door step, but I've never been. Choosing Castle Combe as my nearest which is just shy of an hour away. We arrive, the rain has held. Tyre pressures and wheel bolts checked, all good. Then comes the noise test and now the covid temperature test... I...

So 3 days before the track day and 10 days after I ordered them, I'm told they are held off shore on a container ship and won't be with me for another 2 weeks. So not a 48hr courier. Cancelled the order and refunded. Scoured eBay and FB Market Place. Eventually finding a set of Federal RS-R's...

Busy day yesterday. A mate came around to help, bribed with bacon rolls and tea. Managed to fit: Front 172 cup struts Cooksport springs Lower arms Powerflex Top mounts And the N/S Driveshaft, after the inner boot split on the back of the block, so I grinded that back too. Nothing really...

So where am I.... A mate of mine messages me, "I've booked us a track day, Llandow, you owe me £100".... "Ok, that fine but when is it?" "22nd this month" "oh right...farrrrk" Now up to this point, I'd been taking my time with the Clio. In fact it was up on axle stands and I was about to...

This looks really neat. Can I ask where you go these? Thanks,

KEMPY! Bowen here from IG good to see you on here. Looking forward to what you have planned.

Hi, I am looking for the bolt that attaches the alternator bracket to the block. I believe it's and M10 but unsure of the length etc. Anyone know? Thanks,

Oh I know the one. It's not the one on FB that I've seen. The one of FB I think had a turbo at some point but it was stripped and left in a sorry state "but it's a 172 cup, no offers" etc

I recently took the skirts off and thankfully no rust, just a load of mud etc. Sills are a bit mushed so I Straightend them out best I could and I'll come back to treat them properly at a later date. My main priority is getting the engine and gearbox up to scratch. I'll be looking to get the...

No the one I saw was "OK" other than the rust and black series bushes through out that rattled my spine. I think I know what cup you're on about though, it's doing the rounds on the FB groups lately? The cup in West Wales, well I was a bit underwhelmed by it to be honest. It was the first Clio...

Hi, Just a quick hello. I recently picked up a Clio 182 after longing after one for so long and to keep me occupied during lockdown! I used Cliosport.net for help with a few immediate issues, so thought I'd become a full member, introduce myself and start a Clio project build. Thanks

Thank you mate. I believe it was the Lambda that was goosed. I used a multimeter on the injectors and they were all within tolerance. Thanks RM. Whenever I was stuck or consulted CS.net your name came up more often than not. That's a good thing. Ha.

I also removed the sound actuator thingy and the carbon canister. With it now running pretty well I set about sorting some of the aesthetics: Headlights refurbed Trimmed a rear boot mat and painted the roll cage silver instead of white. I also fitted a Fabia splitter, headlight washer...

I put a call out on Instagram (@bowen_7r if you're interested) and a few friends cam to my aide offering up some parts that they no longer needed. I sourced: A coilpack 2x Injectors Washer blanks and some other bits I also ordered: Engine Oil & Oil filter Gearbox Oil NGK Sparkplugs Lambda...

Armed with Cliosport.net on my phone and a pint of Udine's finest, I set about finding out what had caused the missfire to appear after the journey home. Cliosport.net, Dr.Google and a friends code reader pointed me in the direction of either an Injector or a Lambda sensor. As I had neither...

Hi, I have always wanted a Clio 182, but found myself mainly leading a life more VAG. Then a few years ago I bought an RS250 and loved it. Since then I have gone back to VW daily driving a MK7.5 Golf R Estate, which is a fantastic daily, especially when you have a little one and all the...

Nice read. I'm based in South Wales and looking for "clio friends". What garage did your dephaser etc? I'm really new to Clios and I should start an introduction and readers ride thread.
