I've mailed them twice now for some small bits and pieces I need and ignored both times....

Rad is an easyish job... about an hour and a half and £60ish for a new rad and £15 for 5 litres of type D coolant... I did mine myself for the first time earlier this year using one of the guides on here...

Came across your ph1 progress thread last night whilst searching ph1 stuff... was a really good read, then I got to the end and saw you dismantled it and sold all parts and had it crushed... I was like "whaaaaaat?????".... Also wished I'd spotted it 8 months ago as I would have bought bits off...

Yeah deffo... I toyed with the idea of another 5 turbo.. but prices are like £5-6k and parts are either non available or extortionate... for less than half that price got a much better car (IMO)... and that's coming from me being a massive 5 fan having owned them for 13+ yrs

Good stuff Yeah loving it.. I could never imagine going back to N/A now... it's like having my 5 turbo back but better... well worth the money!!

Thanks I'll check it out.. only other thought was my inlet and surrounds had been painted.. wondered if maybe once all heated up it was this.... This morning I turned the blowers off and the air recirculation button on and drove to work fume free...

Hi All, I just got my car back having had a turbo fitted.. part of this was to get rid of the cat and fit a decat pipe... I've noticed since having it back the car smells very fumey outside.. and also inside if I'm sat still with the blowers on I'm having to turn them off and open a window to...

Hi Robclio98, did you suss out the exhaust smell in the cabin? Mines just had a turbo conversion and since getting it back I have an exhaust smell coming through too...

Andy at Clioturbo owns a mint one.. you could always make him an offer I guess

Hmm possibly.. come to think of it, I'm pretty sure even before the PAS was replaced the belt had already once been replaced as it was fraying down one side... 12-13yrs ago now, trying to remember exactly what happened.....

Great ph1... and amazing maintenance.. enjoyed reading this thread from the start.. keep it up!

Back in 2003 I bought a 172 Cup brand new and on 20k miles / 2yrs the same thing happened... aux belt shredded and took out the cambelt... i was accelerating and suddently a bang and all lights on the dash came on and complete loss of power. As it was in warranty (the whole car) they fixed the...

Hmm wow thanks for this, learn something every day I guess.. I'd never even noticed!...

Ahh, yes ... it was ;)

Hey!... I think I saw your car in the workshop when I picked mine up... is it lowered with black/dark alloys? (just from memory)... well mine made 220bhp on the rollers.. but my standard/crappy exhaust is causing a loss of power which I'm about to sort asap... even with 220 though it's awesome...

Ahh forget it.. Track it down. From anywhere If an item goes missing, TrackR's Crowd GPS network will help you find it. When another user of the TrackR app comes within 100ft range of your lost item, you will receive a GPS update of where your item is. What a load of sh*t.....

Anyone seen these before?... just seen an advert on FB for it.. looks interesting.. tempted to stick one under the carpet of my car... http://nuttsa.com/trackr-car/...

Oooh, yeah I see now - thanks for this I was not aware.. so the black on the bumper - this is a sticker?.. or painted black... I'll be sure to add this to the list of jobs.. and yeah, orange side repeaters and bulbs too... it's going back original... I like your car also... phase 1 all the way!! ;)

:)... car is currently de-cat.. I just need a new centre section and back box... Curious as to what the black stickers are though.. hadn't noticed that.. and can't see any difference looking at library photos... I did have the option of a black intercooler, but opted for a silver one only to...

Ok here we go... So engine converted with the following spec, work undertaken by clioturbo: Garret GT2554 turbo, cast manifold, megane 225 injectors, front mount intercooler, airfilter EFI ECU Module running 8psi Stainless steel downpipe / decat New valeo clutch kit Aircon delete kit / new...

Nice, phase1's are awesome cars... deffo worth spending some ££ to keep it in good condition.. future classics I reckon.

Yep, I'm booked in July.. doing the same and getting a new Vaelo clutch, engine mounts, new cambelt and a few other bits and pieces... can't wait... just had an insurance quote back with the turbo on for £320 fully comp... all good.

No it's booked in with Andy @ Clioturbo... I wanted to do it myself, I spent many years rebuilding 5 turbos and love doing my own work, but for this one I've decided to get it done by someone who is experienced.. I want something solid that will serve as my daily driver... This was my last...

Hi @Robclio98, Thank you, it will be an Adaptronic ECU, I have selected Clioturbo's stage 1 low boost kit as my turbo kit... I had to do this on a budget of about £3k, so barring an engine rebuild, new pistons, etc this works out within budget... and I think 240bhp should be plenty fast enough...

Ok so here goes my first ever project blog... to give a bit of a background on me, my previous interests, etc.. and how I've come to this.. my latest. So having grew up with Renault 5 turbos in my garage from the age of 18... I owned 3 in total over a 12 year period.. my last one sold in 2010...

cheers... I just went with these.. seemed good for the price and inc. free delivery...

I need to replace rear shockers due to MOT failure (leaking shocker).... Should I go genuine Renault? (Not bothered about a performance shocker as such)... or are the aftermarket ones any good?.. so far I've seen stuff on eBay like this...

Just put on a set of 4 Michelin ps3's for £203 fitted at Halfords... guy in there told me it had cost them £200 from Michelin and they were making £3 profit and must have been a misprice online?... Checked today and they're up to £57 a corner.
