I just really like them and for some strange reason i feel the need to probably own 1. I've always had a soft spot for them and think maybe i should get one.... But this would mean i'd have to sell my Clio 172... Maybe it's a mixture of being stupid, bored, just plain silly but i've been...

Was heading out from Thundersley along the A13 to the Dartford Bridge between half 6 and 7pm yesterday evening. I caught up with him and drove alongside then he turned off at Lakeside. It had a private plate, i think it was B2 *** looked tidy

Will a new bolt in cage come with a certificate approved for competition use?

I've seen more and more cars going for this 'Monster Energy' look in the last month. Big decals on the bonnet, down the sides in green...... Awful

I dropped a C1J into a 19 16V Chamade for a laugh, stripped the interior out and fitted buckets, 180bhp an 180ft/lbs Had a track based R5 with the same power, very reliable, gave a lot of cars including a Megane 225 a run for their money at FCS at Rockingham a few years ago. IIRC i took Mick...

Mapping is definitely my next step, it's all down to money. TDF is the place i'd like to take it to have it mapped. For what it's worth it's only run on Shell V Power and don't really use the Clio that much at the moment. To me the breathing were the main things to get done, and knew a map...

Cheers, browsing different sites there's stories of Matter going out of business as far back as 2006, strange as the 197s have Matter rollcages fitted. I read a thread saying Heigo is run by the same person who ran Matter. Anyway, Sam i believe it is part of the MSA. From what i've read it can...

I went over to North Weald airfield today to watch a friend take part in the 2011 ASEMIC Speed Championship. Basically i took the Clio along to have it scrutineered to see how it would fare and to see which catergory it could compete in. They picked up on a couple of minor points that can...

A chap i know used to work for BB Tuning then set up his own business near Upminster. He changed my 172 gearbox and did the clutch at the same time within a day. Knows his Renaults and general all round good guy, PM me if you want his number

No probs, all i did was Gripfill the carbon to the plastic and let it go off for at least 24hrs. So far so good!

I was lucky and was given a 500mm square sheet to do what i want with and gave the rest back. I imagine motorsport places do it, E Bay??

Thank you, i'm really pleased how it's come from literally a bare shell. 90% of what's on this car is either brand new or definitely no more than 3 years old. The only parts that are the oldest are the engine and gearbox which came out of my 2001 donor Clio 172

My hazard switch is from the early 172 and it slots into a rectangular opening. When fitted in the 172 it slides in and clips into place, so i did the same and cut a rectangular opening in the carbon fibre for the sitch the clip into. The same goes for the 12V cigarette lighter feed. This...

Passenger side air vent, just blanked off with 1 or 1.5mm thick carbon fibre Drivers side air vent with headlight adjuster and dash clock dimmer, the whole unit is used and covered with the same thin carbon fibre sheet Centre vents taken out and replaced with carbon fibre, this space is used...

Yet again not much happening apart from this Sunday, the chap who prepped the Clio throughout the project holds a NAT B race licence and competes in sprinting. He's invited me over to North Weald to not only watch what goes on in sprinting but to also have the Clio scrutineered, the Clio is...

116ft/lbs, that doesn't seem right..... Mine made 142ft/lbs torque on their rollers

I think £50 is about right. Yeah thats what it made with those mods, i don't know if that's a good thing or not TBH as it made 171bhp at Powerstation in Gloucester 3 years ago with a std engine bar an air filter! I take RR figures with a pinch of salt. As mentioned in my project thread maybe a...

I have matched inlets, decat, k tec stealth. The power curve dips between 4.5k and 5.5k 172bhp

What ft/lbs torque did it get? And did you have a flatspot on the power curve with the decat?

I took mine down there a few weeks back for a power run, i paid £50 for 3 runs with printouts

Ok, so it's F1 and Le Mans speed :o http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/le-mans-the-aerodynamic-influence-of-louvers-on-prototypes/ http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9351

When running the foglight ducts on my Clio it would 'lift' at speeds over 75mph, i taped them up and it solved the problem. I was told it was air completely filling the inner arches at high speed, the last thing i needed running over 100mph at the Nurburgring.....

I'd be up for this, i work in Billericay and driven the back roads near Stock, Hanningfield area

More than happy with the outcome. I always had the intention of putting the 12V feed and the hazard switch in place of the centre vents using carbon fibre. It was only when i needed to locate the headlight beam adjustment where the idea of fitting it in the drivers side air vent came, it...

Cheers Power wise 172bhp, 142ft/lbs, i was more interested in the bhp and torque curves which shows between 4500 and 5500rpm a dip in power. As mentioned i think a remap would smooth it out and eek out a bit more power. The RR facility had 3 other 172s on their system and they all had less bhp...

Photoshoot sounds spot on :cool: There's a few parts i bought 2nd hand through the club that aren't invoiced which adds up too

If you donate at least 3.5k then yes :D Just had a sort through all my invoices since starting the white project... and then bust out the calculator! 35 invoices from Renault, FK,GSF, Eurocarparts, K Tec, E Bay

Cheers, 1 of 2 reasons for buying it. A proper Clio Cup rollcage and a shell in white, when i went to see it there was no way i could say no. After crunching the numbers and making the call to Danny it was mine to pick up. My last Clio 172 was at that point where it was time to look at buying a...

Yep, was told this too by a mate of mine who works for Renault. I'm picking up the new sensor from Renault tomorrow and will have that fitted as well as the new throttle cable. I'm gonna buy some carb cleaner for the ICV too.
