Hi there, I have this smell inside the car like wet carpet or something similar. I periodically check all the drains and they are clear, carpets inside are dry at the moment This only happens imediatelly after a rainfall or after washing the car and lasts for a couple of days. Any ideas as I...

Hi, Just found some 15" 6,5J renault 19 16v chamade alloys at a good price. I am looking for some 15" alloys for my winter tyres and my future trackday tyres aswell. They look like these: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/lets-see-your-wheels.715804/page-3 (There's a blue non sport at mid page...

Hi all, I have this squeak when shifting between 1st and 2nd gear, the rest are fine, you can see in the vid bellow. Any thoughts to cure this? thx!

My rear brakes (discs especially) look quite bad, any ideas? pads still have plenty material in them, discs still have the required thickness

Hi guys, My 182 FF was always kinda noisy when it handled road bumps, even when completely stock. Now I have gaz gha coilies, k tec solid mounts and arb poly bushes, dog bone and k tec engine mounts so everything's pretty tight. I have the car cheched from underneath several times and only...

Hi there, I know that removing the shims is a popular habbit around here, I also had them removed, we all know the reasons why. But just watched a 30+ min vid on a mechanic's youtube channel in which he insisted that the shims if installed properly on nice an clean carriers, with grease used on...

Some guy is selling these and they are supposed to fit the clio MKII, but I never seen this kit from bilstein! you can see the front having some rebound adjustment!

I went to a dyno test some time ago and the car came with 155 bhp @ the fly - which seemed rather poorly don't you think? It pulls well ( as far as I can tell) and keeps up (if not slightly ahead) with a 197 which made 184 bhp on the same dyno. The same day just before me another 182 did 151 bhp...

I have asked a friend who sells car parts and stuff for some track day tyres options. Initially I was thinking of federal fz-201 or nankang AR-1 but he's unable to provide those so he told me he could get those ZR9 tyres at a decent price. They look very similar to toyo's R888 and was curious if...

Hi all, Just went recently to my first track day, and found the wheel bolts undone after only a 20 min session (they were torqued up one day before) and decided to convert to studs after that.. Could only find 100mm long ones and since I am running no spacers they stick out quite a lot - looks...

Hello there, I have the new style GAZ units on the back (coilovers) and they seem to make more noise than the standard setup, is there something wrong in this new design or is it just something regarding the install procedure? Thx! p.s: I find it a little bit odd now that the entire rear end...

Hi guys, As spring is about to come I was thinking of painting my wheels and the mirrors in the cup pack grey (anthracite). I have 16" ultras at the moment, here's a pic bellow: So what do you think? should I? (mirrors plus rims) One mirror cap has some fine scratches and the wheels also Thanks!

Ever since the aero blades came as a retrofit option I always had the impression that they don't look so good on older cars, that was mainly because it was obvious they weren't a factory fit. Plus the fact that they don't fit the screen very well as I'll show bellow. Anyway, I got an obsession...

Hi there, After ruining my first set of coilies I decided to take a better care of my new ones. They are GAZ GHA (yeah I know they have a bad rep but anyway) and they have no boot around the shocks. I can't find anywhere something suitable for them in the UK (they are the new design with rear...

Ever wondered how a f**ed up GAZ looks inside? I have a bikeshop (working on suspension forks raised some questions) and was dead curious how they are so after receiving my new set of coilies I took one front shock apart to see what's inside and found ... disaster! Have to say that they gave up...

I have these on my car for 6 years now and one of them has some play in the bearing. Their service kit is a little of my budget now considering that I'll also have to pay for transport to my country (around 40 quid) which will make the whole deal cost me like 110 quid. (too much for a bearing)...

Hi there, Looking to get the B14 suspension on my clio, but since the money's short right now I'd buy the rear b14 dampers only (as my current gaz ones are gone) and as soon as possible the whole kit. Couldn't find the part number for the rear B14 dampers so wondered if someone can help so I can...

I found a circular crack on top of the windscreen near the mirror, and plan to get a replacement soon Is the OE screen worth the 300+ quid I was asked for or should I get an aftermarket one at half price? If so what aftermarket brands do you recommend? Thx!

After years of reading various opinions on wether an IK is worth doing I finally got the chance of testing 2 setups on 2 cars specs of the above car: november 2004 clio 182 engine was changed one year ago with a new one and the current unit has abou 6k std suspension custom 63mm cat back...

Hi guys, Just went today for my first dyno test ever and the numbers came out pretty low: Car is a 182 with the following power mods: Milltek cat back with decat pipe fastchip rs tuner remap BMC CDA induction with silicone elbow The IK setup is as bellow: So it came out with 157 ps at the...

Searched the web and couldn't find any test with the mkII RS regarding braking distance from 60mph or 100mph to 0 Maybe some of you have a clue?

I have this clutch since 2009, covered about 25-30k with it so far I'm curious how they generally feel, mine is stiffer than standard, still creaks (will change the clutch cable soon and see if that will help) and aparrently has a shorter travel than the original- or my pedal assembly is messed...

My car is LHD since I'm outside UK and I'm gonna order some bits and pieces from k-tec. They also have the genuine clutch kit for sale but is it the same for both LHD or RHD vehicles or there are 2 different parts? thanks!

I've been reading pages on the subject and got more undecided (no surprise lol) if I should do it or not I'm having the milltek cat-back exhaust, rs tuner remap and CDA air intake Am I gonna have to re-map the car again if fitting a de-cat or leave it as it is? Just want a higher pitched exhaust...

After some years of ownership and some 2,5-3k spent on mods I thought it's about time to do some track days this year car as it is now: milltek cat back(had it from 2009 and it didn't crack so far-happy with it) k-tec solid engine mounts + poly dogbone Helix organic gr n clutch kit k-tec solid...

80% of occasions the CC works fine but sometimes it's reversing the controls of the buttons. For example if I press "R" the speed increases or if press "+" the cruise control disengages, or any other combinations like those mentioned Has this ever happened to anyone as I tried to do a search...

After some days of tiny adjustments to my gaz kit I decided to share my thoughts on what I found out. First of all I fitted the suspension myself, took me an entire day to get the std one out and fit the coilies, so a good advice would be to have some buddy ready to give a hand. I also took...

Hi there, Just made some last (I hope!) adjustments to the car after fitting the gaz coils couple of days ago and I'm under the impression that I'm too low on the front, although I've seen here some silly low clio's I'm having 32 cm from the center of the front wheel to the top of the wheel...

Is there any cure to the rear arch scrubbing? I've seen loads of clios lowered more than mine is atm so any suggestions on solving this? p.s: this happened with 4 people inside the car, 2 of them being over the 100 kg mark

Fittet my coilovers today and did the bumper bracket too. I've searched to find some pics of this mod, been told that many people just bend it out of the way but I never found some actual pics Anyway, for those interested here's how I did it removed the arch liner and twisted the bracket so it...
