After cleaning and painting. Rear bumper off but was getting dark as you can see in the poor camera phone picture. Not bad for its age I thought. Checked behind the side skirts and inside the 1/4 panels and found nothing, good coat of anti rust paint to help out just in case. I know I...

More pictures, underside looking a bit sorry for its self and very scabby.

Again more pictures

Then all of the below is how the car was and sits at present. The above info tell how far I’ve got with it. No such order to the pictures they are just how they have come off my phone to the iPad.

So these are the pictures at the beginning of the strip out and the car it’s self.

So i have been on here a while now, looking and following threads and builds involving track based cars. Loving the range and budgets people have/use for their cars. So, with mine i thought i would give it ago with posting and putting up a thread of my own. This is the first Clio or even French...

Love this.

That would handy, I’m not getting very far with Cromwell, discussed in the other thread. The problem is the cages don’t hold up very well when being undone a few times that my only worry.

Have you checked what the colours are on the horn? They may change when they come into the car but worth a look

Thank you @Chambers_RS that’s sorted that ??

Hi everyone, To the track/race car builders, could you give me an insight to the nuts and bolts you use when bolting the sub frame back on? I have a few that look at the end of thier life and would like to replace, unles anyone knows the part numbers for Renault replacements? Thank you in...

Looks really good, need to pull my finger out to get mine done

What sizes have you gone for on the rear? Also are you using twingo rear discs for a reason, I’m very new to the Renault world of part swooping haha.

Welcome along to the club, if you haven’t done so already sign up with a paid membership as this will open a how world of knowledge for track days. It’s a great car that you have chosen. Brakes and tyres is where I would look at spending some money before your first day out. Nothing major, good...

I’m new to this site, mainly as I’ve just got a Clio for tracking and I have to say it’s a lot better then the fiesta st owners club. When the new one came out it it’s turned to “how much can I get from a remap”? or “how can I make it pop and bang”? This site still has people willing to try and...

A good amount of sound proofing will help as well. Your trying to make the doors an acoustic box for the speakers.

Fitted my door cards, polly windows, dash switch pod and harness

If they don't have a tool to remove it they may weld a bolt onto the wheel nut and remove it that way. Would mean you need to get a new set of locking wheel bolts

Welcome along.

Why a 172 engine in a 182? Are the inlet manifold really the only difference engine wise?

Just seeing if anyone knows of this car/previous owners? Had Clio sport stickers in the windows and can with the club folder in its history.

You won't need bigger injectors or fuel rail. Mine was MR 200 with no engine mods other the a baffled oil sump, oil cooler and PAS cooler. I used 10W 60 oil as well. Most of the time the revs will be high due to the gearing of the fiesta. you can use, like I did, final drive from a 1.4 fiesta...

This was mine.

Don't bother with the mondeo brakes. You just in the calliper brackets from a focus ST170. With matching discs. 300mm. The calliper on the fiesta and the focus is the same size. It's the bracket is different allowing for the larger discs. All you need to do is re-drill the bolt holes to allow...

Check the feed to the horn with a test light?

Anyone near to or in Hertfordshire that that’s CLIP. I’m wanting to turn off the airbags in the Clio. Thanks Jon.

You maybe better off with a jubilee clip around it rather then the clip they use. You can only get a certain amount of clamping force with a standard clip. In your case you may just need a little more of which the jubilee will give you.

You really have to check and check again that the boot at the box end has fully sealed in the housing. Get it clean and dry. Making sure it does fold in on its self. If the shaft can be moved more the about 1.5/2mm back and forth between the hub and gearbox, it's new shaft time

I'm sure you could check with a multimeter what ohms resistance you need. I assume you have removed it to remove the door cards for track? Can you not pug it back in again and cable tie/fix it in place.
