    Rare Yellow Ph1 172 from Holland

    Well allot have been done to the car in the last weeks. Fitted a silicone black silicone hose set (had to be modded in some places to get it to fit properly). And a bit of fun, made a shift ligt. Didn't want to buy a box and tape of mount it on the dash. Wanted it to look as much oem as...

    Upgrade to Espace (2 Pot) Calipers

    In the meantime i tested several braking setups and agree with @Bear Head The Bremo 225 is the obvious choice for 15". I now run a mk3 megane Brembo setup, which definatelly looks and works awesome but you must run 16".

    Brian's 172 Cup Turbo

    Nice too see another proper 172 in the netherlands. Will this car be purely for track use or are you also going to use it on the road and get it registered ? Welkom op ClioSport -> absoluut de beste locatie voor unieke aanpassingen en een gigantische community voor deze auto's :smile:

    Rare Yellow Ph1 172 from Holland

    For these Its not that bad €32 a month. Its the big heavy cars that are pricey.

    Rare Yellow Ph1 172 from Holland

    The insurance here is a steal compared to what you guys have to pay on the other side of the pond. I pay €43 a month for max coverage at taxed value.

    Rare Yellow Ph1 172 from Holland

    Well time to dust off my project thread :smiley: ALLOT has happened since my last post. Put some brand new Megane 3 RS Calipers on (needed custom brackets -> 225 ones didn't work for me). Installed Megane 3 RS Steering wheel. Had the car completely repainted. Installed the Turkish SM Intake and...

    Sunflower needs to be painted -> Go LY ?

    Just the outside was painted. The engine bay was not all that faded compared to the roof and other parts.

    Sunflower needs to be painted -> Go LY ?

    The red color of the Clio 4 is basically the same als LY but then Red obviously. From what it have been told its the same process as LY (4 coats).

    Sunflower needs to be painted -> Go LY ?

    Yep really happy!:cool: Did cost a pretty penny but absolutely worth it. Regarding the calipers, i specifically bought the red ones (brand new btw). They really stand oud with the yellow. Just like on the yellow Mk3 Megane's !

    Sunflower needs to be painted -> Go LY ?

    Small update the car has been painted : Happy with the choice to keep it all original, stunning color when freshly painted. I can now fully imagine this selling like hot cakes 16 years ago while shinning in the showroom of the dealership :fearscream:

    Walbro fuel pump

    I have one as well, it fits but needs some adjustment to get it to work. You have to replace the fuel pump in the housing. After that you need to make some adjusments to the in-pump fuel filter so it will fit in the housing.

    Sunflower needs to be painted -> Go LY ?

    Yep this it the one car that made me thought about it but to do it correctly a full strip down is going to be needed (engine bay etc.). Come to think about it i actually prefer the sunflower color, its way more rare than LY. Sunflower ph1 cars where only sold for about 8 months from what it...

    Sunflower needs to be painted -> Go LY ?

    Made the change, entire car original color....except the V6 spoiler. It has already been painted in BG few weeks ago and i like it makes the spoiler stand out allot more than normal. Its already full of black details so it suits it nicely. @ForceIndia -> thanks for this tip i can always try...

    Sunflower needs to be painted -> Go LY ?

    My gut also tells me to go with the original color, these cars are even more rare here in the Netherlands than they are in the UK (arround 10 left on the road). I have already invested a small fortune in this car, and the paint was one of the last things that let it down -> which as of this...

    Sunflower needs to be painted -> Go LY ?

    I can probably get it for the same price. The clear varnish was completely gone on the roof, when trying to get it masked up they removed allot of the varnish from the car by just removing masking tape... So a respray is pretty much the only thing to go for and get it properly sorted.

    Sunflower needs to be painted -> Go LY ?

    The sunflower is in the paint shop for a full respray but should i keep it original or go for the newer Liquid Yellow color ? Your input please.:wink:

    New SM Intakes via group buy.

    I had it on the dyno last weekend to get it properly mapped by Henk. Unfortunately some issues came out, causing some major stuttering and car not running well at all. So i had to postpone 😢 I have already fixed it now (new intake sensors+90 degree turn on the TB), but ill have to wait for...

    Possible gearbox leak fix..... seems to work!

    I agree, without the sealant the kit was pretty much useless. Didn't improve at all. Thats the reason i went for it, as it couldn't get much worse anyway. We could only go up from there :up: Ill post an update after it has been dyno'd and driven for 500km's this saturday :up:

    Possible gearbox leak fix..... seems to work!

    I agree @NorthloopCup but this is possibly a very cost effective way to at least reduce it considerably or even stop it (time will tell).

    Possible gearbox leak fix..... seems to work!

    You can buy it here Mapco produces it as well it seems, looks exactly the same though :up:

    Possible gearbox leak fix..... seems to work!

    I used a common brand thats available here in the netherlands. But its normal high temp (up to 300C) liquid gasket, nothing fancy. Should be part of your standard car guy garage inventory basically :tonguewink: Regarding the instructions found this ...

    Possible gearbox leak fix..... seems to work!

    The kit is very easy to fit, but takes a bit of time due to the oil that has to be removed. I have to drive 500km's this saturday to get the sunflower mapped by Henk so im able to give an update this weekend :wink:

    Possible gearbox leak fix..... seems to work!

    I was a bit fed up with the stupid leak, even the TND fix wasn't able to get it even reduced a little. So as in my case it couldn't get much worse i decided to see if i could do anything to improve the design. The two parts that you put arround the shaft are not rubber but hard plastic so it...
