4 NEW boxes, in 2 months!

A working gearbox.

Love it, agree about the rear bumper trim, needs to be darker. Be good to see some full pictures.

I think Renault may regret not making 3 door, I doubt the clios target market is traditionally the 'family' customer, more the young 'single' customer. With the choice of hot hatch on the Market now days people are spoilt for choice, 500 abarth, citroen DS3, Mini coopers and the new fiesta...

Am I happy with my car, over all yes I live it and doubt it will ever be sold. Although currently it's GBPM (Gear boxes per mile) is appalling!

Cheers all, very helpful :)

So essentially a Standard box as far as Syncros etc

Cheers Danny, My saga is ongoing so I guess you can see what i need these for ;)

Rolling Road Printouts of more than OEM power clios (190+BHP) with standard gearbox's (without modifications) they can point me to / post in here? I need a few examples for 'something'.

Are the Gearbox internals standard on this still or has it got something fancy in it?

Irrespective of what engine is in it and the coolness factor, you would have to be on crack to pay £18,000 for what is in effect a £3k BMW. But It is kinda Awesome, although I cant help but think an M5 Lump would have been a better conversion.

Probably stolen if it's in South Oxhey ;) Not one I have seen about myself.

BJV in Latimer near Hemel would be my suggestion.

How long was the car on the rollers for being mapped? How does it drive now it's mapped?

Where are you planning in putting your plate if you cut the bumper?

Need to get round to sorting the mapping on mine soon, probably get it sorted in next month or so! Got to finalise the gearbox situation first :)

My Advice would be: To Remove the stripes use a Hair Dryer / Heat Gun on a Low setting, Warm up the stripes and gently lift them from the edge and peel back as you warm up the next section. Any Glue / Residue left over you should easily be able to remove using a Tar/Glue remover such as...

Ditch the alloys for a set of Steels with Hub caps and its a winner all round

Ah yeah, Nice to meet you both... I think I spoke to more members of the club at Trax this year than I have in the past 3 years i have been in the club.

Well, you have the know how to remove the box yourself, so I guess best option (cheapest) would be to either buy a used box and get it rebuilt, at a guess £200 for a used box and £300 for a rebuild (or take your box out and send off to be rebuilt) these guys are recommended by many on here -...

Sorry should have said mines a C120 Xtra.

Hi Stacky, Nice to meet you yesterday mate. Hope the AA didnt keep you waiting to long after we left you yesterday. Have a word with Andy, he has some box's forsale - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?597417-2-x-Jc5-130-Clio-182-Gear-Boxes-CHEAP! And I would (As per Danny) Say...

Very Very Nice

Worth a try ;) I have to agree though, I do very much prefer the 'fog light in' look

Chuck it in the bin along with the driver side Fog to allow a nice Airflow to the Brakes (And sell me the good Drivers Side Fog as Mines smashed ;))

As i said in the other thread, Was a good day, popped into the tent and met Seb and Tom (thought I'd better make a effort seeing as I'd been in the club for about 3 years now lol) Had a chat with a few people from the club about my car (one chap even recognised me from one of my cars mag...

Paid £120 for mine from Screwfix, Very Very good bit of kit, Much more robust than my old Karcher, and comes with a longer High Pressure hose than the Karcher did as well.

LOL Clios are like a Disease with you, Buy one Break it, Buy another Break it Buy another....... Looks nice though
