Sod that, a few years ago I used to love doing stuff like that but now I have no patience for it lol.

Spent most of today fitting the above but aint had a chance to finish yet. The most annoying thing is that it already had some uprated bushes :mad: i should of checked 1st.

Sorry mate you were coming round the roundabout as fast as I was going across it :)

Just had the tracking re done and been out for a good spirited drive and I can't fault the new springs, they ain't too hard or too bouncy so I'm more than happy with them. I've got some other bits to fit now. Powerflex dog bone bushes Group N upper engine mount Group N upper gearbox...

1st impressions arecthat they are no different from the cup ones apart from the lower stance. I have only done about 15 miles on them so I maybe jumping the gun.

Will deffo sort out the callipers then. The springs are Apex 40mm ones, people on here havnt raved about them but I just went for a quick blast and I can't fault them yet. I've got a full set of powerflex anti roll bar and gearbox bushes ect ect and also a cat back stainless exhaust.

Cheers mate. Forgot to mention i fitted some Grooved front and rear discs and Yellow stuff pads. Im thinking of getting another set of calipers and refurbing them black as i aint really feeling the yellow ones but if i do that means it'll be another set of wheels (dark) black diamonds and...

Im new to Clios but after looking at other threads i see that people have just a metal finish or is it that tow eyes are just gay full stop ? I found that out after i bought it lol, i thought it was missing but looks better imo.

Well my car had a spring changed for its MOT by a dealer before i picked it up, after realising it handled like a wet packet of poo i checked the spring and noticed it didnt have the 2 coloured marks on like the other side so i set out to get some new lowered ones, i was messed around for 2...

Today i fitted some new suspension, Renault Sport mats, tow eye and a few other bits. I think its starting to look alot better now. Before After

The IV was an ok Evo but you should of waited until you could of got a VI as its miles better than a IV (ive had 2 IVs, 3 VIs and a VII) You're only 19 so dont write off getting another Evo yet :) I do like my Clio but its not a patch on any Evo ive had BUT they all cost alot more so its...

I looked for 4 weeks before i found my car, there were plenty up north for 2.5k but down south they were all dogs for that money. I couldnt find a 182 for under 3k so ended up paying 2.5k for my c172 up and that wasnt perfect by a long way.

1st baby mate and I WTD something safe for her to travel in instead of the Golf Gti Turbo we had. Sad fact is I know I'll never have another machine that could match it :(

Yeah I saw it when I picked the Evo up and I saw it and Brands to. It was full of carbon firbre if I remember and looked the dogs.

I'll post a couple of cheeky pics from the Redline cover shoot, i shouldnt really as ive sold it but i did at the time the pics were taken.

Cheers mate :) Yep, a few years ago now. He built an awesome car that he and his missus used for sprinting but since then i fitted a new forged engine and bigger turbo ect ect to make it that little bit more awesome.

Just ran out and took a quick iphone pic :) Yeah i know it needs lowering but thats the side with the odd spring and the new ones are in the still i the post :(

Cheers mate, the Clios getting there now. TBH i never though about it but now you mention it i think i'll do it.

I miss the Evo sooooo much 540bhp or 172bhp hmmmm :) If you come down for the alloys mate you can have a quick blast in it, 4.5 V8 with luxury a plenty, its an awsome car. Anyway i fitted the new alloys today and tidyed up the engine bay which i think is a massive improvement. And...

Its a 22" You can change it by just removing the boot rubber and pulling the roof lining down enough to get to the nut.

Its £32 from the stealers, i bought one last week and its spot on now.

Basicly i bought my 1st Clio 2 weeks ago, a 172 Cup 03 plate. I payed a bit much for it imo (2.5k) considering it needed a few bits doing but i needed a car for work after selling my stunning Evo VII and buying a Cayenne which was too thirsty for everyday use. The next day i made a start on...

I work at Harlow (Edingburgh Way) so you may see me driving about now i have a Clio. Ive been into Renault Harlow a few times last week, i have a 53 plate Cup im 6ft 5" and have a shaved head so could of been me :) Edit to ad maybe not as i have the standard Turinis.

Nice one, thanks for the replies. It feels unstable and light sometimes, in the week I've had it I've changed all the bushes for poly ones, tyres, tracking twice, rod ends ect ect so this will hopefully restore my faith in it's handling ( or lack of it atm )

Are there any differences in the springs ? Mine had one changed for an MOT before I got it and the car feels rubbish even though I have had it thourougly checked. I've noticed the new spring does not have the 2 coloured marks on it that the old one has.

Are there any other larger calipers and discs that fit directly on the clio ? I know back in the day i had Calibra Turbo Calipers and VW Corrado discs on my MK1 Astra GTE Turbo and 24v Senator Calipers on my Nova Turbo ect ect and they were a direct fit. Has anyone found or tryed any other...

Re: Does the aerial have an amplifier ? **Now sorted** I ended up buying a new mount and cable from the stealers and fitted them both, its not a hard job really but i now have crystal clear sound. My old mount and cable/wire looked in perfect cond but it obviously wasnt.

No mate, the standard one was rubbish so i put in a Kenwood, that was the same so now have a top notch Sony that is no better either.

Yep ive even had a length of wire hanging in its place and it dont do jack.

Basicly i have no reception at all, ive done everything already suggested when i searched the forum (took down headlining and cleaned base, screwed it on tight ect) what i did notice is that it has 2 wires coming from the base, is one supposed to have power to it and if so is it from the radio...
