    Reaching gear knob

    Sweet The car is going to be a weekend/ track/ ring car anyway so no expecting comfort and luxury. I just hope the Clio is as good as it's portrayed Swapping my 348bhp m3 m3 for it as now engines are like 5k and parts have rocketed in price I want something cheaper to run and less valuable...

    Is there any issues with the pms shifter like bad vibrations or hitting the subframe?

    Reaching gear knob

    Well I find my cup changes gear ok it's just I can't reach the stick very easily.

    Reaching gear knob

    £285 isn't that bad! Most momo gear knobs are £90+ now so a full gear box back shifter for £285 is pretty good. It's on my pretty urgent list as it drives me mad hunching to change gear

    Reaching gear knob

    How much would a scenic shifter be? To be honest under £300 for the pms shifter is pretty good as like I said I had no change from a grand for a cae shifter for my m3 - robbing buttholes lol Does both feel much better and the plus side of the pms shifter as my cae one is fantastic and actually...

    I am also concerned that the Clio box is made of chocolate so don't want to over do it! I have a 172 cup is the box the same as the other 172's?

    Reaching gear knob

    How much is a pms as I have a cae shifter on my m3 and it was great but over 1k which defeats the point of why I bought the Clio being cheap and fun

    Reaching gear knob

    Hi I have just collected my first Clio 172 One thing I do find is that to get a comfortable seating position I have to reach further than I would like to reach the gear knob. It's just low and close to the dash. Now I looked at a longer knob but with the lift up reverse there isn't any about...

    Head work worth while? 172

    Head work worth while? 172

    Oh that's definitely one to avoid! I think I will be doing a lot of it myself as I enjoy dropping engines and major projects

    Head work worth while? 172

    Thanks for the replies guys. I think il just save the money for a turbo kit. I am not desperate for the power but a little more is always nice. When I turbo it I think I will just go for the 230 bhp as I have gone to far on my m3 and the thought of a 8k engine replacement has stopped me driving...

    Random 172 cup purchase advice

    Well the thing is I have my e36 M3 which I have been doing up as needed small bits doing but it's a expensive hobby to be honest. I was looking at the Clio as a cheap fun run around to take the pressure off getting the M3 fixed so I can put more time and effort into it but I am also seeing the...

    Random 172 cup purchase advice

    Hi guys I have seemingly bought a Clio 172 cup off my brother for a decent price. Truth be told I really don't need another car just always fancied one and knew this was a good one and not thrashed. The car has 52k on the clock Fsh from Renault or proper specialist 2 previous owners clean...
