Appreciate the comment mate. I was looking at trophy's before I bought this one. They look the part and are very capable in the right hands, as all clio sports are. How much are you selling it for?
Cheers mate! Now you mention it, I do remember seeing you behind me. I recall that you carried straight on as I turned off. I could be wrong, though the timing sounds bout right. I'm a big fan of the 182's!!
Hey no worries mate. They're not everyone's cup of tea. Cheers for the compliments though. I did almost end up with a liquid yellow clio but the dealer was asking too much and ended buying this one for a very decent price.
Yeah, I got the wheels refurbished recently and I originally chose...
today I decided to fit my renaultsport side skirts after they have been sitting in my cellar for several months. I couldn't put the job off any longer! fitting them was actually straightforward and the instructions are simple to follow. I thought I should share some photos. below is a before...

I snow foamed, rinsed, then washed again, rinsed again, then waxed the bloody thing until my arm felt like it was going to fall off. I think I know how Daniel felt in the original karate kid.....wax on! Wax off!
Damn! That's expensive. Why so much? I have been quoted a couple of hundred pounds cheaper from a specialist next year when my cambelt, dephaser etc is due a change. Have you had a quote from renault?
Hiya marshall878,
Yeah, she's barely broken in. I bought on 14, 300 and I'm still at the stage where every time I see a bit of muck on her, I'm wiping her clean. Slight obsessive perhaps....!
the car looks awesome in that colour and for the price, no complaints there. have noticed recently that there are some bargain 197's around. could be good when looking for affordable, though extremely capable track racers.
Ahem! Right. MicKPM, you were correct about fitting a genuine item only and it cost full price. It has been fitted today and what a massive difference there is. In total, I cost me £ 163.00 including vat. I thought that was reasonable. Happy its done now!! :)
cheers mickpm, well, i felt that may be the case so i managed to find a renault speacialist near me that is much cheaper than the main dealership in terms of labour costs. also, cost of the sensor (renault approved bosch item) is £79.00 + VAT instead of £96.44 + VAT from renault so i think i...
cheers for letting me know.
that is sneaky!! it may be easier for me to just take it to my local renault dealership if all else fails.
i'll post the outcome when the issue is resolved
cheers guys. i'm going to run it for a couple of days to make sure all is well and go from there. with regards to this 97 ron fuel, it was a tesco garage in halifax. first time i have used it, and probably the last time as it is not my usual petrol stop. it does make me think that the type...
i contacted K-tec racing for some advice regarding the above and i was told to try some different fuel before purchasing a new lambda sensor in case this resolves the issue which i did. the result of which my car's drivability returned back to normal. it is no longer lumpy and sluggish in the...
Today, to my shock my emissions warning light appeared on my dash. luckily I have a friend who has a snap on diagnostic kit who identified the problem as being the lambda sensor on the down pipe. Now I priced up a new one of around 50 to 70 pounds depending on supplier; but I came across...
i have been reading many posts, not just on here but many other sites reporting that poor quality fuel may be to blame for my above complaint. particularly, tesco based 97 ron fuel. funnily enough, this is what i put in my car just before i noticed the warning light coming on. any ideas?
apologies for the late reply. i am currently in denholme. and thank you for the welcome. can anyone tell me if there are any threads on here relating to an emissions warning illuminating on the dash. this has happened today and affects the cars fueling and driveability etc. it is really...
Hi, I'm new to this site. I recently purchased a 200 full fat with the cup chassis in alien green. There is nothing more to say except that these cars are awesome machines!!! The pace, the handling etc blew me away. Puts all my previous cars to shame; even my pug 205 gti and that is saying...
