    RIP engine?????

    Would have to get the inlet/head off to have a look at the damage. There are a few threads on here showing the damage after a valve has made contact with the piston: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?613749-The-aftermath-(dropped-valve-pics)&highlight=Dropped+Valve Could perhaps...

    AG 200, white 197, silver phase 1 172, south shields

    Indeed I was, I've only seen one other phase 1 around here and it has the 182 cup alloys and i've not seen it in ages so it's almost certainly me :rasp: Certainly would have heard the ktec system before you saw me, it's weirdly loud lol

    how much to get a clio track ready??

    I actually think If I tracked my old 1.2 PH1 it would kill me, It had more body roll then a boat in a tropical storm :rasp:

    172 Service - how to???

    Fairly straight forward mate, as any other car really - just make sure you have a large enough catch pan to avoid making a mess :rasp:

    Gearbox oil do we bother ?

    I've just done the 1.4 and was shocked, it looked like metallic paint and it was black ! clearly never been changed in it's life !

    Clio 172 Cup Advice

    PH1's are a bit more raw with less creature comforts, a slightly more aggressive front end (but a fairly marmite tail) has differences to the exhaust system, and on some bonnet material (aluminium - light weight) and a "shift light" (over rev warning) indicator. Asides from the cosmetics, they...

    Bought Clio 197 no spare no kit. Just tools

    It's a short term fix, should get you to a tyre place or home. Last time I had to use one my spare was fubar, it just fill's the tyre with foam - warned the tyre guy when he changed the tyre to prevent a foam party in the garage :rasp:

    Clio 172 Cup Advice

    For any specifics in changes in the cup: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?161921-Renaultsport-Clio-172-Cup You will need to be a paid member to view it but it's fairly detailed.

    Clio 172 Cup Advice

    I stand corrected, looks like the hubs are also slightly different (Gives a slightly wider track with a dab of caster) - explains the difference in driveshafts !

    Clio 172 Cup Advice

    Could go even more awesome and go PH1 with cup packs ;) The wider track on the cup's is due to the increased offset on the turini's - so make sure you get one with it's original alloys !

    Oh my :o

    Average owners age?

    Got my PH1 at 21 and now driving at 22, don't think age matters to be honest as long as you like what you drive. No need to conform to other peoples ideas of what you should be driving, we are all going the same way anyway (Unless your driving a cup in the snow)

    Clio 172 Cup Advice

    I've not driven a VTR so im out on that account, but engine wise if it has FSH and has been timed correctly with the tools and knowledge the engines are solid and can take abuse most days. It's very rare for a gasket failure on these engines, the biggest issue is typically with the timing, often...

    Inner cv boot

    Simply put, replacing the shaft is the quick option, replacing the boot is the swear at it for a few hours option ;)

    197 inlets on a 172 ......... has anyone else seen this ???

    cheers, minds in 2 places ;) Think it's probably how I've typed it lol
  21. mantis946

    Inner cv boot

    Two it seems but they are different (Passenger being the bottom one below) I believe every version of the sport uses a different driveshaft so it makes it tricky, would likely need to stip the shaft down to replace them or get the stretchy style boots but they can rip easy if snagged.

    197 inlets on a 172 ......... has anyone else seen this ???

    It's been done with the full head and inlets with a charger to raise the CR http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?599541-Soon-to-be-turboed Earlier in the thread it also shows the gains of just the inlet.

    Knocking banging sound??

    You can also loosen of the mounts and jimmy the engine forward with a long bar I believe.

    Why does the aux belt 'have' to be done with the cambelt?

    Not to mention an aux belt is about £16 (£8 more if it has aircon) It's worth it to be honest.

    Possible wheel bearing??

    Could be a dry bearing or over tightened hub nut.

    Thought I would share pics of my 2 week old Ph1 (sorry if in wrong place)
