It has started to cost me money. Everything has come at once :( For track use I think my biggest need is new seats. Im 6'4" and not skinny, so low fitted buckets will help, as will a smaller steering wheel. If im doing this, it makes sence to remove the rear bench. the appeal of a phase 1 is...

Yeah. The plan is change to 15" wheels for the 50% cheaper tyres, new pads/discs (on the front at least) and then some different suspension of some sort. Then strip the inside and fit buckets. Selling and buying another would free up some cash though... Although I expect I could sell my...

Hi all I have convinced myself (it didnt take much) that once my GF finds a job and we get settled, which should be soon, I want to track day a RS Clio. I just need to decide which one. Currently I have a Phase 2 172 pretty much as standard. Its probably worth about £2500 if I were to sell...

Spot on biojo, many thanks! Now just got to figure out how I get the ol mount of of its metal bracket. Cheers!

Hi all On looking today at my off centered an low hanging exhaust I have notice that all the exhaust mounts are fubar'd. However, as I have a K-Tec 182 style exhaust on my 172 (below), I have an additional mount at the back, under the rear bumper that the right (when viewed from the rear)...

Just picked up my car from Paul (lemonnobby). All good! Fixed the aparent shoddy job on my cambelt from the last replacement, and also got rid of the airbag light thats been bugging me for a while. Cheers!

I have done, no reply yet :(

Dam it, wrong forum! Can this be moved to the interior forum?

Hi Does anyone know where I can get a radio code for my 172, preferably without having to remove the radio? I've got a new steering wheel comming soon and will need to disconnect the battery to change it. I've pm'ed matt black, but haven't heard back. Cheers

:( Shame how fate makes your mind up for you by making your Aux belt squeel like a **** on the way home from work :(

Wow, fast response, cheers guys. Bristol is about as far as I would want to go really. Lemon, you have mail.

Hi all Its a few thousand miles off yet, but it wont be long untill 36k since the belts were last changed on my 172. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for decent garages to get belts done in the West Wiltshire area? There is a Renault Dealer just down the road, but as usual, they...

I just thought that too... must be one of the last registered.

Top of Kingsbury St, on a 53 plate. I drive that road every day but hav only seen it for the last week or so. On here?

Agreed, but the organisation and general attitude of m4 makes them my preferred place.

172 with 182 pipes right by the fence at the entrance? That was me! P.s. anyone wanna lend me £35k to buy a mk1 escort, :-)

Has there ever been any ClioSport track days? Could be a comple forum thing, do them once a year, different track, invite the whole forum?

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap away from the lights as I walked down the pavement. Can't really complain as id done the exact same thing 5 mins earlier, lol. Sounded nice.

:cool: Definately! a CS Trackday! :D

Only trouble with karting is: a) getting enough people interested b) getting ebough people DEFINATELY interested so that they dont all just drop out nearer the time leaving you with hardly anyone left. If were going to arange Karting then we should arange a proper event, book it out and take...

Really? Tried to go there a couple of times with some mates. First time they had booked out the Arrive and Drive session with a GP, and the second time they seemed totally disorganised and expected us to wait 2 and a half hours for an arrive and drive. Went to M4 Karting at Hullavington...

Yeah but Cheddar Gorge would have been quite a trek for me! :)

Something near me so I can come to my first CS meet :)

Definate thumbs up.

The '02' in the numberplate not give it away ;)

Silver 172 parked on the side of the road by the Talking Heads with 182 style exhuast and filthy? Me!

What would be the limit for spacers on a car that was used on a track? I assume the extra stresses would limit what you could do? I would like to get my 172 out to the same track width as the Cup (not that I know what the difference is) but also dont want the wheels falling off on a track :)

In terms of track day performance and handling, road performance and handling, weight, cost etc? Why would you choose 16" over 15", and vise versa? Im very tempted to change my wheels on my Phase 2 172 for some 15" ones purely because the tyres are so much cheaper than the 16" versions (handy...

Hi All My 172 FF needs a service. I'm likely to never sell it so im not bothered about taking to to Renault (its got 90k on it and is 8 years old anyway) but im undecided as to wether to do it myself or get my local garage to do it. I have bought all the parts so would just be paying...

Spot on. Very nice. Is that RS badge of the new cars? I really want one!
