    Dropping subframe on ph2 172, what to do with metal PAS pipe?

    I have seen a pic in another thread which appeared to show the rack left on the car but the headsheild left on the subframe. I am guessing its possible to slid it all backwards to do this?

    Help... Gearbox wont go back on

    Thank you for taking the time to reply all. It's amusing that the bits you expect to be easy turn out to be hard and vice versa. I will giving another crack with all the variations suggested.

    Dropping subframe on ph2 172, what to do with metal PAS pipe?

    Renault 5 GT Turbo - The Project

    Utter class. Nice 5 year journey saving that one. Nothing like seeing a new respray on a car simply for the love of it. I couldn't afford one when I was starting out. It's an itch that might just have to be scratched one day.

    New Mark Fish bucket seat subframes. Anyone tried them?

    Thanks @markfishy, will watch this space. Agree @dmallett . I believe the current cobra one come with a plate to fit under the seat with a 90angle on the edge with the locking nut to moun the tensioner. With a similar thickness spacer on the other side. Give the option of both setups for us...

    Trophy any one ??

    You also have to wonder why he is selling the Sachs not on the car. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/renaultsport-clio-trophy-sachs-remote-reservoir-dampers-REFURBED-DE-PINNED-/271865263198?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4c6eb45e Would have thought that a £3540 trophy with Sachs would be more...

    Bit of water underneath rear bench - SOLVED

    Not noticed any since. as said mine was visibly running into the boot

    Bit of water underneath rear bench - SOLVED

    I added extra to the underside of the stop. The problem i would say with removal is you will damage them a little bit so they wont sit tight on as they do when new. The silicon could over come that but for a quid. Is it really worth it?

    Bit of water underneath rear bench - SOLVED

    You can try. I decided easiest removal was destruction ;)

    Bit of water underneath rear bench - SOLVED

    57p each buy two new ones ;).. destroy the old ones pulling them out and silicon the back of them for added sealing.

    Rob's Supercharged Trophy

    Out of interest did your gearknob come on the car or did you fit it? Looking at doing it myslef. If you fitted how much of a T$%t is it to do?

    Best springs to lower but keep standard shocks??

    I opted for eibach pro's as mine is a non cup. Slight drop, but great on the road.

    Rob's Supercharged Trophy

    Cage looks epic mate especially with your rear seat delete floor, love the touch of colour too. would have been interesting if Renault had opted for 16" custom 2118 instead of 16" Turinis. Love the rally car look of those types of wheels. like old quattro (monacos?). ...Shoes need a polish...

    Standard, Mapped & RSTunner ECU

    Marc, would bet you could post Chris your Ecu and save you a drive to Widnes.. Widnes.. its a bit like Dundee if you get my drift. I know he flashed Clio Turbo Andy's back to factory after he had his Trophy mishap. Well at least I hope he did as its now sat in my loft.

    Standard, Mapped & RSTunner ECU

    Like wise Marc, I would give Chris at EFi a shout. I am sure he will give you an instant answer. I don't understand the these things personally. Is there however a difference to trying to tweek the map. Ie mod Henks one. And just simply wiping the whole thing and sticking a clean start on...

    Bit of water underneath rear bench - SOLVED

    @jesus have a look at my trophy thread. Had same problem, turned out to be rubber boot stops.. 57p items. I actually had a hose lightly pouring down the rain channel past the stop and you could watch it run stright into the boot. It started in the boot... One good brake and its then in the...

    megane buckets in my clio?

    You will need to do your research then on solutions. Most bucket setups are designed for harnesses and not seatbelt clips with pretensioners. Pre tensioner need a mounting point which don't usually come on base frames. The side frames of the recaros in a trophy for example have the mounting...

    New Mark Fish bucket seat subframes. Anyone tried them?

    Anyone know if these will be harness only? I assume they will be . Or if they will allow for pretensioner attachment to run seat belts.
