Any good (ignoring the fact their quite expensive)?

Got these for my birthday from some mates months ago. Finally got round to getting some Velcro tape and got them fitted :D:p

Are these being phased out/replaced by anything? I know they are getting hard to find due to stock levels following the Tsunami, but they have actually started vanishing from some sites now, rather than just showing as out of stock!

I am looking to get some Sportline Springs and some camber bolts and then get them fitted and the geometry properly setup. Does anyone know places near Southampton that are good for this? K Tec are not far from me, but they are by far the most expensive for both parts and labour I have found.

I can remember a while back seeing a picture of a guys Clio where he had mounted a bullet camera in the centre of the front diamond. Looked great. If anyone has any more details or pictures I would be very interested. Cheers

What would people suggest as cheap 195/50/15 tyres for track use, but also some road use as they will be my only set of wheels? So far I'm looking at: T1R's - Cheap, but seem to be getting more expensive as stock drys up. I had a set of 16's on at Bedford and the side walls were soft as...

Picked up some after market F1's, but can't find any spigot rings for them. The bore is 73.1, yet the plastic spigots I have don't fit. They are too tall as the bore of the F1's tapers in after about 10mm. Looking at the ones that came on the wheels they need some metal ones with a metal sprung...

Legal or not? I have one of the Si style ones. Getting it fitted has been a pita as the whole is full of 10 years of crud. I'd rather just fit it and leave it rather than wrestle with it at every track day. Are they legal to leave fitted?

From the banner: Epic picture. Interested in any higher resolution ones!

I would like to get one of the USB diagnostic cables that allows you to connect a laptop to the diagnostics port and read and clear codes and other things, however I am very confused as to what to get. My car is an 02 Phase2 172. I have searched and found some people saying ODB2, then others...

What do you guys use? I have seen a number of pictures with people with the big round disks of Velcro, but looking on eBay they are a couple of quid each! Doing both the front and back with 4 on 2 sets of plates is going to cost a fortune! Any suggestions for where to get something cheaper?

After adding 3 more today, I'm currently running with 12! 9 on the rear mount holding it up and to the side, one metal one wrapped around the centre mount to stop it stretching, and 2 more metal ones holding 2 bits of heat wrap in place to stop it vibrating against the spare wheel well...

Is there one? Just parked my car back up to see half the rubber from my centre mount lying on the ground. I know these perish a lot, I wouldn't usually be that bothered, but this mount was brand new only last year. Is there an uprated one available?

Sorry if this has already been covered, but searching for "172 182 engine" gets a billion and 1 results. I know there are some differences between the 172 and 182 engine that allows it to produce the around 10bhp more, but what exactly are they?

From January 1st 2012 there are some additions to the MOT test. They are: Most of these are of no real worry, however, this bit is: For years there have been people trolling the internet telling people who have HIDs and remove their washers that there cars are illegal or will fail their...

I have a 182 style exhaust on my 172 and it means a pipe goes sideways accross the back of my car behind the rear bumper to provide the second exit on the drivers side. There isn't much room between the bumper and the spare wheel well, so the exhaust can rattle against the spare wheel well at...

RB 182 in Quarry corner car park with white stickers on the side and a CS sticker. Titanium 182 with CS sticker parked near the last corner, and in desperate need of some new tyres! Bald fronts and budget rears with chunks of sidewall missing!

Hey For anyone who has sent wheels with tyres via a courier, how did you package them? I have seen tyres delivered pretty much bare just with stickers on them. How would you wrap up wheels for transit? Cheers

Just a query, is it possible to quicken up the steering on a 172 so that it takes less turns lock to lock? I have been driving my GFs Mini a lot and the steering on that is a lot quicker, which makes the Clio fell like you are turning the wheel way to much for the amount of cornering you are doing?

Its all falling into place. Renault are looking to supply Williams F1 with engines again. 1.6 Turbos are becoming the standard for WTCC, WRC and F1, so have genuine marketability with road car manufacturers who make these sort of engines. The number of 1.6 Turbo engines for the road in...

About 1pm today, driving through the centre. Private plate, bonnet bra, and a couple of lovely young ladies in it :)

The ones from the 1.8 Mk1, what width are they? 6.5 or 6? Also, would they cause issues with brakes overheating as track wheels with the marge surface area preventing airflow?

Started seeing a few regularly. Silver 182 parked in Whites Way Blue 172 that drives out of Whites Way every morning Black 1*2 that I have seen on the road towards Hedge End station some evenings about 6:15 Blue Phase2 V6 seen sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening. Seen...

Does anyone have any number plates they use just on track? Was looking at getting a smaller plate for mine, and though it would be cool to also get one that just says SKEETER and put it on when on track. It would save having to blur out number plates in pictures. Anyone do this? I know there...

Been looking for some 15" track wheels but nice ones are hard to find so I'm tempted by some cheap stock 15s of another non sport clio, but details are hard to find. There's some from a mk2 that look like smaller stock 172 wheels, but they seem to be 6.5J not 7? Does this affect tyres? Can you...

Anyone know where I can find some official Clio 172 CO2 figures that the DVLA will take as evidence? My car is incorrectly recorded on the DVLA website as producing 273g/km CO2, which is stupidly high, and is causing me to pay to much Tax. I think the figure is around 190ish, but I cant find any...

Yesterday lunch time, munching on a KFC. Back bumper looked like it needs painting.

As title. Cheers

My front left CV boot has split so need to be replaced. Anyone know any good garages in Southampton for this kind of work? I'm in Hedge End. Cheers

Just went to take some pictures and noticed black thick oily grease on the spokes of my wheels. On further investigation it is smeared over the inside of the wheel, around the wheel arch, over the wishbone and bottom of the damper. The CV joint rubber cover looks dry though? Where is this...
