    Adverse effects of an overcooling engine?

    I would have thought it would use more fuel tbh. Your oil temperature will be lower now too I would have thought, which means that it may not evaporate any water off properly so you may get a bit of mayo on your filler cap etc. But ^^ what Matt said, do you have a way of testing what the actual...

    Sanding plastic

    wet and dry is the name for fine sand paper which can be used wet or dry. you can use it either but if you use it dry it will clog up quickly so you'll go through loads of sheets so use it wet.

    Sanding plastic

    Well you want to provide a key for your paint to sit on. I'm guessing you'll be using primer? I'd rub it down with some 320 or 400 grit

    I'm sorry, how much for a set of 182 Alloys ...?

    I bet new ones don't cost much more than that! Those Sunny tyres are worthless anyway lol

    bimeec spacers

    Cheapest shite availiable. Avoid. They weigh about as much as a large dog each and I've heard stories about them not sitting flush with the hub... Pay the extra and get type approved ones. (ie FK or eibach)

    Being 30 and in a 182

    Not exactly 30 - only said 30 cos that's what this thread is about. I think that as my circumstances change I'm no longer going to want to drive round in a small hatchback which is a bit chavvy. That's just me, I've just asked my dad if he'd have my clio as his main car and he said yes. People...

    good spray shops in derbyshire (alfreton, mansfield, chesterfield area)

    I know of a good place in nottingham, don't think they're cheap but you're best going down and showing them what you want done

    Mk2 - Phase 1 and 2 windscreens the same?

    Hi guys - as title really. Ovbiously ignoring the auto lights etc goodies - from a size and shape point of view can I get a phase 2 (non sport) windscreen in my phase 1 172? Cheers

    Being 30 and in a 182

    Lol probably right!

    Being 30 and in a 182

    I think I'd be very embarrased to own a clio sport over the age of 30. Just think they're more for young people as 1. they're small and 2 they're a bit cheap & chavvy (trophys & mark 3s excluded from the cheap part) But that's just my opinion and I'm not having a go at anyone.

    Classic RUF.

    15" to 16" wheels - drop in mpg??

    I doubt the overall circumference difference is much at all (less than 1%) if you went from 195 50 15 to 195 45 16 so I wouldnt bother looking into reprogramming it or anything like that. Different brands of tyres have different rolling resistances so will naturally cause more/less fuel to be...

    ClioSport/old font mats?

    Also interested in this. I looked a week or so ago and the only ones with the old font looked like someone had just found the nearest font on microsoft words and got that embroidered on lol

    The PH1 172 Appreciation Thread.

    Must be something about Toyo and soft side walls lol! Car looks tidy though mate, and ya can't beat a bit of 3 wheel action!! Does the whiteline make it any harder to c*ck a wheel?

    My Renault Clio 172 Phase 1

    Wtf?! No it's not it has a drain plug and a filling plug! Gearboxes last longer the more often the oil is changed, goes without saying. How many miles is it on? Hope it does fully cure it and no lasting damage has been done.

    Is This Any Good....

    I'd only use that If you're pretty competent with a soldering iron as I think you have to chop the plug off your old one and put it on your new one. Easier buying the genuine bosch one which just clips straight in. LS6046 iirc

    blue/white looking headlights

    Tho if you want to be a pikey you can just fit a hid conversion kit, you'll get moaned at a lot on here for that though. the kits are liek £30 on ebay. As long as your beam is set up correctly you won't be blinding other road users. (not sure how you'll get on with mot now the regs have changed...
