Because I want to put some bigger brakes on my Clio just to look a littler better, here are my new calipers and some rebuild of the pistons.
Because the piston were in perfect shape, except the pad contact, I reuse them.
Will fit with 300mm discs. The rear setup will remain the same...
Hi,
The gearbox side gaitor from the driver side driveshaft is damaged and the grease came out. I've read some topics and someone says that I need a new driveshaft because that gaitor could not be replaced, but others says that renault has a rebuld kit that also includes grease.
Could someone...
Hello,
I've read a lot of topics regarding upgrading the 172 brakes. Most of them were using the clio 172 or Megane 225 calipers with custom brackets. I did not that overkill setup, I'm interesting in using the Espace 2pot calipers. There was one or two old topics but the pictures are not...
Hi,
I want to replace my 172 suspension. The suspension now is the stock 172 and it is on the car since...2002. I am driving around 12k miles a year. I go on a track day 2 or 3 times a year.
I've read a lot of topica on the bilstein b14 but also some others on eibach springs.
I will not spend...
Hi,
Nice little project mate! I would like to see how the kindle will be there. Don't forget to put the line arches in the front of the car. The front seems to be a little upper, maybe you can solve the problem with other springs and the exhaust tips have to be a little lower. But I really like...
Hello,
In the morning, when is a little colder outside, like 0-5 C degrees, my aux belt start squeaking and I steer. After a minute, the squeaking disappears. I've read some topics and I find out that could be a crank pulley, if it can be, can someone provide me an OE part number for it? I now...
All interior parts have been painted and now looks mint :)
Regarding the hesitation on low rpm, the problem came from the leads. I've read a topic here and there were some people having problems with Magnecore blue leds. I've swap for a brand new OE ones and the problem is gone. Together with...
Hi mate,

This is how I bought the car. I did not really know more about the 172 clio back then.
The car run with the round style plug coil pack since I bought it. It does not run really well and when I want to replace the coil pack...surprise.
I managed to get a plug from a member here and then put it...
Hello,
Someone replace the coil pack plug on my 172 clio with the one from 1.2 16v clio that is round instead of square. Could there be any differences between the coil packs in terms of specs? The one with round plug and the one with square plug?
Thanks,
Radu
Can a 2.25" exhaust pipe without decat and no silencer cause this kind of problem? I run just a SuperSprint muffler. With the stock map I have no problems on low rpm and with the rstuner map I have no problems on high rpm.
I will check the compression and cambelt soon. But before I ask this...
I've got a juddering problem on low RPMs and need to find out why and solve it. But the plans are:
Install the B14s
Install a pair of 172 cup whishbones and alignment
And install another left driveshaft. I get the right one from here and now the left one. They are in a great shape and change...
I get a SuperSprint 172 exhaust, the one with the visible tip. I did not like it and made my own tip from a stainless still pipe. I buy the gasket kit for the Renault and start bend the pipe and make a full stainless still exhaust line.
