I think it's funny how you've taken a picture hahaha. Giving your car a wipe if it's showing is normal especially after the drive but not mid journey.

Yeah it did get softened up I agree. Phase 2 lights do look better though. I was going to put them in mine before I started breaking it

Nice car mate. Phase 1's look the best. More aggressive.

I think you have to sign up to see the marketplace but well worth the £12 or whatever it is. There's some good examples for sale on here and a few people know the cars and their history. Welcome along [emoji4]

Ah this is awful man. Agreed you've paid a price for being nice here!! But in the other hand. I'll take them recaros straight off your hands

Hi guys, Just fitted some wind deflectors to the clio and the windows are struggling to make it to the top. I'm guessing with it being nearly 15 years old the motors are just weak as piss (I'm hoping so) They've been pretty slow and lifeless since I got it Will changing the motors solve...

Did I just see you in dewsbury? If it was you that car looks so good in the flesh. Different man I like it

You had a full 197 lump in? What a guy. Was that a nightmare to do?

Thanks again. That sounds like a better route to take. Plus some bonnet modifications on the ph1? Just need to find someone willing to undertake the work. And machining or drilling of the head I can do at work with given dimensions.

Would this make the whole turbo process a lot easier as I could probably do a deal with my mate. My meg engine for his 197 engine meaning I could use his cams and head? Sorry to bug you mate but you seem like a guy in the know on most threads I read.

Driveshafts would be the biggest issue I'm guessing? I was reading a thread the other day where you were talking about engine management. That's way above me but I guess it would be an easier problem to fix than the driveshafts?

Does look sweet with the side mounted turbo. I'd love to hear how much one of them manifolds costs. If you enquire and you don't mind sharing then let me know

RS have had one made and another guy who's car featured in PFC also had one made to side mount the turbo but you'll be talking big monies there I'm sure

You wouldn't be using the 182 inlet with the megane head and inlet surely?

I'm not initially chasing big figures but I'd like to get some forged rods and pistons in just in case my mind changes in the future. I was just thinking cost wise it might be cheaper than buying the turbo kits available on the market! Would I be wrong in thinking so? I know that to run...

Yeah I can imagine. Yeah I bet it's a quality sense of achievement once it's done! Yeah I'll have a word with them mate. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it

I see I see. All that's above my head anyway. I'm a CNC machinist. I have a fairly good mechanical knowledge but when all the problems start arising it will blow my head and I don't want to rely on mates to pull me out the s**t haha. May just break the megane to fund getting the clio block turbo'd

Cheers guys. I didn't think it would be straight forward but got to be cheaper than the turbo lots on the market because I have most of it at hand. Losing the VVT is a bit of collateral damage I'm willing to take for a bit of boost Thanks for the link W33 brl. Just seen you've done the same...

Right guys. I have a question and I know there's some guru here who can help haha I have recently acquired a ph1 172, I also own a meg 225 which owes me nothing and I'm wondering if it's either possible to get the meg engine in my clio or just use the head from the meg engine? Roughly how...

1) Matthew - driving on track 2) leeds_182 - spectating and possibly on track 3) kchristmas - spectating 4) Johnpacey1 - track 5) cb10 - spectating 6) Rodg241 7)JD_RS172 + 2 clio drivers who aren't on here - spectating

Aren't on here I meant

Cheers guys. I'll get a couple of my mates on board who aren't here

Any movements on this?

Any luck?

How do we publicise this a bit better as either people aren't getting to see this or they're not interested

Yeah that's a good idea. I'd be up for that

Yeah I thought there would be a few more too. Yeah that could be a good idea. Close to motorway links too.

Yeah white rose is a good idea too. Plenty of space. I doubt there will be any dicking around as we aren't that bunch of people. We need to get ideas out there and see what people are saying. I don't mind contacting places to arrange it if people out ideas out there. We could do with somewhere...

Yeah mate that's the place

There's a place called the old post office which is jct38 of the M1 (Barnsley). There's also a nice place which is car friendly on the A64 to York called the buckles inn.
