Did you find out what you needed as I’m in the same situation now?

I think so mate, needs a few bits sorting on it mainly the cheap coilovers to start with.

It was indeed from what I’ve been lead to believe.

So a 12hr round trip today sees me as the new owner of this very clean and very sorted Inferno turbo. Some of you may recognise the car as it was previously owned by a forum member on here. I’ll see if he comments before I tag him. So it’s very oem+ mods wise apart from the engine and has been...

Do love a white Clio, Subscribed… 👍🏻

So the BG is going up for sale… I’d been in talks with the current owner of my 172 turbo with looks to buy it back but he has only owned it 3 weeks and wants silly money for it, His words! So I put a call out on the socials looking for a well specced n/a or turbo 182 and people responded well...

Just caught up on this @Porl !! Rubbish luck atm bud!! Hope it gets better!!!

Spent some time on the paint work today. Full decon, multiple foams and rinses, clayed and the coated with Auto Finesse Triple and a coat of g3 wax just for good measure. It didn’t scrub up too bad but it has shown me how many defects there are in the paint. Hopefully I’ll be able to get it...

I would have preferred a silver but these have just been freshly powder coated before I got them.

And it’s broken…

Been busy on the BG the last couple of days. 1st off fitted the PMS stud kit yesterday. Cleaned all the old copper slip away, taped out the holes and used brake cleaner to make sure there wasn’t any residue left. Using supplied loctite fitted bolts and torqued to 20nm. It’s said on the fitting...

Hopefully that’ll be the case and I don’t have to drill the discs either!

Thanks to @Lewi86 I am now in the possession of some turinis… Mint condition after a recent refurb and virtually brand new Uniroyal Rainsport 5s! 👍🏻 As the bolts fitted are bit mix an match with head sizes and finishes I pulled the trigger on some @pure-motorsport stud and nuts. I’ve gone...

Think im going to go 82mm fronts and 68 rears so have spare thread showing on each.

Can somebody help please as I’m proper confused!! I’ve read the below quotes… I don’t know what sizes to order! I currently run standard 182 wheels et43 are they and shortly will be running cup offset turinis et37.5? Possibly 2118s/td1.2/willys in future as I am a wheel whore! I run 16mm...

Had some time to tinker with the Clio this morning so decided to have ago at fitting the @plees brass bushes and sort a couple of other issues that had been bothering me. 1st issue was trying to sort the position of the exhaust between the two outlets. I’ve managed to get it to somewhere I’d...

Sit Rep… Done absolutely naff all with the clio whilst I been deciding what to do with the 182 and Meg. As a result of this deliberation the Megane is going to make way for a better family car (already have a Tiguan which will be sold) and the Clio will be staying to be the toy. I’m very much...

Not much been happening to car of late as working away 3 weeks at a time! 😥 I recently changed the rear mounts for Powerflex ones but for some reason it keeps pulling the back box further under the bumper as seen in the pic below… I have tried a couple of time now undoing the mid-back box clamp...

I tell you what’s rarer! Arch liners!! 😂 haha

Finally found a thread @bowen86 , I’d just keep going in this thread with the new Clio and get one of the admins to change to title 👍🏻

So ordered so powerflex mounts yesterday at half 3 in the afternoon, arrived 9:00 this morning! Quality service! The mounts on the car were only a couple months old but had already started to perish. I’d forgotten how simple these are to fit making sure I got enough of the old rubber out. A...

Fresh clean plates that is all…

Today’s task was tackling the the absolutely horrific front seatbelts! Which ever Renault designer thought silver seat belts would look good needs a good slap! 😂 So on with the task at hand… Below is the comparison with part of the belt which doesn’t usually get pulled out. I went with the...

Thanks for the offer but I won’t be there 😥 Having looked more into the costs vs power boost comes out on top each time 🤔

Afternoon! Been a bit quiet of late on here due to working 3/3 rota but finally I’m pleased to say that the clio is all legal and on the road. I took it out this morning for a shake down run and have found a few issues which need adressing before any major engine work can commence. Having said...

Was this direct from Renault?

Over night parts from Japan... @Porl Both the Megane and Clio have the older style RS badge which imo has been the best design to date.

Mini update... Cambelt kit ordered this morning from @renaultpartsdirect hopefully that arrives before I go back to work Thursday if not it’ll have to wait until next month to be fitted along with the new abs ring and Fabia splitter. 👍🏻

The ph1 lights are in, so much better looking than the ph2 imo. I couldn’t be bothered swapping pins as it meant the main light/brake light would be at the top of the light instead of bottom and I wasn’t keen on that before. This time I carefully notched the ph1 light where the bulb holder...

I do like it when the postbrings me car parts 😬 I know not everyone likes the ph1 lights on a ph2 but I cannot stand the chrome blob in the middle of the lights and after testing fitting I hate it even more! 🤣 Got a bit of pin swapping to make them work properly but that shouldn’t take too...
