    Well its been over 12months since I was last here, how time flies! I sold my Berg 172 a year ago after owning it for 4 years and getting it the way I wanted, I went over to the dark side buying a 300hp Subaru Impreza RB5. Ive not 'gelled' with the Subaru since buying it even after wanting to own...

    Local Area Subdivisions (please read)

    I agree with Jaffa on this one, two reps being more than enough for little old South Wales! Being from Fishguard myself I know of only a handfull of people who drive the cliosports that are actually on this forum withing a 30mile radius! Atleast if we had a east and a west division it opens up...

    I hate my car!

    I work as a mechanic in a non franchised independent garage and we work on all makes and models of vehicles but most of our time is spent with French manufactures. That said, I say 90% of the time the only reason I can find why we repair these cars so often is because people see how cheap these...

    Are clio 172 reliable cars?

    I have owned my '02' 172 for a little over two years and apart from wear and tear (Tyres, rear brake pads oh and Aux&Timing belt) the only thing i have needed to replace was the gearbox earth strap as it rotted out. Best car ever owned and got no intentions on selling and its now on 94k.

    Only gone and hit a brick in the road at 60!

    It may be wise to have your suspension checked out now, Looks like it took one hell of a hit.

    Cam locking tool

    To correctly tension the belt the pulleys which are fully floating need to be held firstly by a tool so you can slacken the nuts off without turning the camshafts while the "horseshoe" tool holds the camshafts then once the pulleys are spinning you can tension belt. Do it without the pulleys...

    PTFE Inlet Gaskets required

    I know that PTFE gaskets are not very popular on here but each to their own and im after a set so can anybody point me in the right direction from where to get them as I can't seem to find them apart from K-tec which I think are overpriced and Jam-Sport which sells them with the matched inlets...

    eBay Race Manifolds £285

    As I have been looking into buying a set of matched inlets recently for my Clio I came across these on the Bay. Now I know most things on eBay are shite and to be fair I'm not saying these would be as someone can't judge on something until the product has been tried and tested, As it stands I...
