Doing something like this has been on my mind for months and an itch I needed to scratch as quite frankly I was losing interest in the Clio. So I decided to bite the bullet and buy this, for me it's the cheapest and easiest way to get more power. It's not 100% complete but i'll now enjoy getting...

Joined the A127 from the Basildon Sainsburys junction heading towards Southend about 4pm today, gave a cool CS thumbs up

55 plate, black wheels with 2 trackday stickers on the tailgate. Looked really clean

A friend of mine does cleaning/detailing, i guess as a hobby so i let him loose on the Clio last Sunday. Foam, wash, clay, machine polish, wax etc. Anyway, pics below. Turned out well i think and was also a chance to have the wheels off and clean the wheelarches and coilovers. IMG_0208 by...

I've owned this Petrol Blue 182 since April this year and this is the first time i've taken some ok photos of it as i've just bought myself a new Canon bridge camera. So i gave it a wash after work and headed out to 3 locations not far from me, i'm sure some will recognise the location in some...

I see people have painted the front upper grills in Satin Black to great effect, so i was wondering has anyone painted the other black plastics like the foglight surrounds, rear bumper inserts in satin black too? Opinions, yes or no or just use a decent back to black product? If anyone has done...

Ok so today out the blue the Clio drops to 3 cylinders 2 miles from home. After checking the plugs (none black) swapping HT leads, checking the injectors it turns out the coilpack had failed. Luckily I had a spare genuine Renault 1 so I swapped it and all is fine, just to mention the faulty...

Apologies if this has been aked before, if so feel free to delete or link to me to a relevant thread. I have loads of photos on my laptop that i'd like to put on my I Pad, am i right in saying i have to use I Cloud? (briefly browsed the net earlier) If not how do i import photos from my laptop...

Taken on the HTC so not the greatest but took a few of the latest Clios in race trim at the RWS in Spa last weekend WP_001638 by Ricard o1, on Flickr WP_001634 by Ricard o1, on Flickr WP_001633 by Ricard o1, on Flickr WP_001632 by Ricard o1, on Flickr WP_001628 by Ricard o1, on Flickr...

I arrived back yesterday from a 4 day trip to Belgium and France which included going to the RWS at Spa Francorchamps, I was just wondering if anyone else from Cliosport went too? I've taken a few photos of the new Clio Cup race cars but can't download them to my laptop as the power lead is...

Did a 240 mile round trip yesterday to buy this Clio 182 off a chap called Alex. To be honest i wasn't in the frame to spend all the money i had from the RB on another Clio BUT after viewing a couple of not so great Clios and potentially going into derv ownership i ended up going for this. I...

I know CS pulls no punches regarding opinions, so. 1: Registered 04 on a 53 plate, seems weird as i've never seen a 182 on a 53 plate but obviously right. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-RENAULT-CLIO-RENAULTSPORT-182-16V-SILVER-BOTH-CUP-PACKS-/160982997173?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item257b5598b5...

Bereavement unfortunately means this Mini Cooper is for sale, very well looked after with bodywork in very good condition, no dents. All four tyres are correct Pirelli run flats, new exhaust fitted less than 6 months ago, service book stamped with documented history, very well looked after by a...

Saw this on the way home from work about 4.20pm, RB with stripes and Recaros, CS sticker on the rear glass, looks pretty tidy. Gave you a 'cool as can be' aknowledgment wave as i drove past :o

Was a Blyton for the weekend back in July with RTOC and was papped a few times, rollin on the primer OZ F1s :o ND105 by Ricard o1, on Flickr ND103 by Ricard o1, on Flickr ND101 by Ricard o1, on Flickr ND108 by Ricard o1, on Flickr ND104 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

Was talking to a friend last night about doing a turbo conversion, or setting my sights on going down the turbo route. It's something that has bugged me for over a year, having had relatively quick R5 GT Turbos back in the day I've always missed turbo power, the torque. Anyway, his reply was...

Ok, i did a deal with club member JamesT87 and picked these up yesterday. I decided even though i liked to the look of the white Trophy Turinis i didnt want to run on 16s, the Primer coloured OZ F1s were always going to be slaggy track wheels and prefered the 15" ride. There was only 1 option in...

My friend drove his phs1 Clio 172 in the North Weald sprint today, midweek i asked if he'd fancy taking mine for a run out too. My camera was took rubbish to take 'action' shots but they had an official photograher there so hopefully there might be some pics coming my way soon. RB 002 by...

Took the plunge and fitted these this evening, i really wanted these as the details are raised and not decals. So when a set came up for sale i had to buy them :) Now toying with a carbon rear insert to match the front splitter. WP_001093 by Ricard o1, on Flickr WP_001119 by Ricard o1, on...

Did a basic Cliosprt search and found 2 options Sikaflex 291 Marine Sealant http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SIKAFLEX-291i-ADHESIVE-SEALANT-YACHT-BOAT-MARINE-WHITE-/370602000820?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_BoatEquipment_Accessories_SM&hash=item564999c1b4 Tiger Seal...

Had the Clio a good going over on Saturday so I thought I'd take it to a different location for pics. We found an underground Carpark that was completely empty so we used the missus Panasonic Lumix. TBH I'm not really sure they're any good, to any budding photographers that could give me some...

Had the Spax RSX coilover kit fitted yesterday so i thought i'd treat it to a wash and take a couple of pics. Really just to show people who were toying with buying the kit how they look. Rear adjusters set to their lowest position, front adjusters set about half an inch from the bottom thread...

Had the RB booked in with Matt today to have the new Spax coilover kit fitted as well as a Whiteline RARB along with a geometry setup. Initial feedback on the drive home is positive, with the damping set half way the ride feels good and not too harsh. Found a few country roads earlier and have...

About 7:10am pulling into the Shell petrol station between the Wickford turn off and a130 turn off. Lady driver, RB with stripes, reg started LV05

The R-O button on my steering wheel works when you press up on the R but doesn't 'tilt' down on the O. Could it be like a rocker mechanism broken, can these switches be repaired or should I just source a 2nd hand known working switch? It seems like the button is dropped down in the O position...

Fitted new rear discs spacers on the RB today, so a perfect opportunity to fit the primer grey OZs and give it a wash. It actually feels a better ride on the 15s than the 16" Turinis so i'm now thinking of getting shot of them. WP_001018[1] by Ricard o1, on Flickr WP_001020[1] by Ricard o1...

With the wheels mentioned what would you put as top, middle and bottom. Or best to worst? Or in value would you say Trophy Turinis are worth more than the OE anthracite 182 wheel? Speedline 2118 wheels the same value as Turinis? I know there are scenarios like tyre makes so say the 16s had...

I've done enough sets of these over the last 2 -3 years, when a set came up in a breakers yard last week i couldnt say no to buying them but also vowed NEVER to spray any more........... Until i popped in the store room yesterday and saw some paint cans left over. Anyway, i needed 1 tin of...

The glass on the foglight cracked so i popped down to the local Renault breaker to buy another, Lagunas use the same light so i took 1. As i went to walk out i saw these stacked up in the corner :D TBH i don't know if 'll keep them but thought they'd be better off at home than the scrapyard...

RB 182 with stripes and white wheels. On the mountainbike and rode past this as it sat on a driveway on an unmade road behind the SEEVIC college, Thundersley.
