Those ACS parts are pure p**n. Great project :)

Nice project. Shame about the rot. My ph1 is starting to rust there too. Did you go for oem rear brakes or something else? I'm thinking about OEM discs with Carbone Lorraine rc5 pads. RC6 for the front with Brembo HC discs.

Painted my track wheels white. Didn't bother to make them 100% perfect but it turned out pretty nice anyway. I think the white wheels will work well with the blue paint. Before: After: Still not sure what semi slicks to use. R888R's seem very interesting and they aren't that expensive...

Good to hear! Got some black gold mirror caps/covers from the wreckers. These replace my already wrapped caps. I just think that painted ones look better. Still undecided if I want to put the ELF sticker on it. I still have two yellow ones but I also have two white ones. Cleaned her up a bit...

I’ve been around this forum for a while, but never really started a project. I’ve owned a Clio before my current 172 ph1 but it was nothing special. My ph1 is now my track/weekend toy. My history with French cars I’ve only owned French car. My first car was a Citroën Saxo 1.1i. Great car but...

I just quickly read through this thread. Love your dedication. Glacier white looks very good on these little clio's. Keep it up!

Thank you @bloke! Now I just have to source a pair :D

My mates recommend Gaz GHA. Haven't tried them other than a 1 min drive in a mates car. Felt nice.

I've read quite a few topics regarding this but I wanted to know 100% sure before sourcing some 172 cup wishbones. Are the 172 cup wishbones a straight swap with my 172 phase 1 wishbones? I'm after a little more caster that's why I am asking.

Yup, that's how mine was put on. The first time they cut around the rubbers and looked shite so I had them redo it the proper way.

Clios like to lift a wheel or two.

Mine has had some changes since I last posted here.

I had one custom made

Do like the look of those f1's, might get me a set for the winter instead of the ones you can barely see above. The only thing that bugs me about the stock ph1 is the height. It's almost like it's a 4x4.

Ok so I put the original rear lights back in. Thoughts? IMG_9484 by Joey Smit, on Flickr Sorry for the horrible phone picture... Also, guess the silencer :P

Sneaky v6 mate. Here's an old pic of my ph1 and a mates v6. Lately liking the ph1 rear lights more and more. Might put them back on my ph1.

Very clean. Looking good!

You're crazy. I like it.

No. You see, you can also hear it outside the car haha :P

So a couple of weeks ago I noticed that when I revved the car up to about 6k RPM a high pitched squeel(?) noise was present from somewhere near or in the engine bay. It's a 2001 phase 1 172. Made a little clip (Car not moving, in neutral): I found this thread which might apply to my...

Had some fun with the Clio and some sort of big rabbit resulting in this: Great times. 😅 Needless to say I fucked it up.

Haha just had this happen to me... Had to get a new circlip as I had lost it. Ordered a new one through Renault and beat it in place. Does anyone have the partnumber for #10?

@barnesautos Headlights look awesome. Might have to try that this winter. I think it will look well on my ph1 as well. Renault Clio 2 RS by Joey Smit, on Flickr Excuse the winter wheels. Rota's are in the shed for the winter :P

Nice car. Needs a proper clean though :P

Front splitter looks sick. Nice motor :)

Pops and bangs is fun for showing your mates but besides that it's pretty useless and anoying after a while. Good plans though.

Love it :D

The on the dogbone bolt closest to the shift linkage (and cat's) might cause noise because it will hit the shift linkage (read this somewhere).

It's getting appreciated by my mates :P

Don't expect much. Stock exhaust (for now) and been mapped by Fastchip. Also rocking the amazing CUP filter. The sound is from my phone and the video from my dashcam.
