Just wanted to know how safe this was and what damage it can do to your engine ? If it was used just for 1/4 miling would it do anything bad to the car ? How much are nitrous kits these days ?

The missus is looking to buy a new car due to her getting a new job. She likes the Ibiza Cupra in Yellow but also likes the Williams, the question is.... which one should she get ? Any other suggestions in a similar mould ?

How do you rate these ? Are they of a good quality ? How do they compare to say a Magnex ?

Just dropped my car off at my local Renault dealer to sort out the 4k rattle on the exhaust. It has been driving me mad and they ordered in the part for me to be fitted today. If this is not fixed then I will leave it and buy an exhaust to cure the problem ! It is all being done under...

Last night, I went out for a drive down some great open country roads and the car just made me smile from ear to ear. It was the first time I have been able to open it up on some roads with good corners since I have had the Eibachs fitted and the car feels so great now. It was pitch black with...

....to Gravells in Kidwelly, South Wales. They have 3 in stock, all with under 10 miles on the clock for £10,995. All in blue.

Just about to leave to take the 172 for its first service. Been going through my documents and there is no service book. Will they be able to give me a new service book at the dealers ? It is the1st service so the book would have been empty anyway. Not a problem is it ?

....replace the thumb inserts or do you have to replace the whole steering wheel ? When I bought the car I noticed that there is some scoring on both of these inserts from a hands free or remote control of some kind and it is starting to bother me. Advice needed...

I suspect this is a knock on effect from fitting my Eibach Pro springs last week. The steering wheel is off centre when going in a straight line and also when cornering it seems to pull to one side. Is this just a simple case of the tracking needing to be done ? Where is the best place to...

Went to give a few mates a lift down the pub the other day. They got in the back and as they did the back springs started to creak. I had my Eibach Pro springs fitted last week, could it just be because they are new ? This is the first time someone has been in the back since they were fitted...

Just been to Ikea in Cardiff and I was driving back on the M4 to Swansea. Was following a Golf and noticed a silver Merc weaving over the road behind me, changing lanes without indicating and so I speeded up to get past the Golf and this Merc. No sooner had I pulled out........ BLUE LIGHTS...

I was wondering if you are asking for problems if you buy a 16v with over 100k miles on the clock ? How many miles are these engines good for until things go bang ? Been thinking about buying a cheap valver as a project and trackday car and I am sure that most of the cars in my price range...

Just drove out of my street and at the bottom of the road I saw what I thought was an Silver 04 172. Went for a closer look and saw the Turinis and the Cup badges, it is the first silver Cup I have seen, it is all very confusing ! LOL ! The Turinis look great on the silver car too ! Very...

I have just been looking on Autotrader to see the prices of 172s just to compare with the price I paid for my 172 a month ago. I noticed that there are mostly MKI 172s or high mileage MKII 172s around the price I paid for mine so I am starting to realise that I have got a bargain ! I paid...

....to me ? The main thing I wanted to know was how you adjust the ride height and how easy it is to do ? Is the handling MUCH better with COs than say a Cup suspension ? Is the ride height harsh or not ? Cheers for the dummies guide to coilovers ! Dai :oops:

I was just interested to know if you personally owned more than 1 Clio ? If you do, how do you cope with insurance ? Do you insure it on a low mileage policy ? I would like to own a 172 and Williams one day but I was wondering how feasible it is ? I could afford the cost of the car but was...

I am looking for websites to get some alloys at a good price, I am after some OZ Superleggeras or Superturismo GTs in 17s with rubber. If we get a CS discount then great ! So far I have looked on http://www.demon-tweeks.comwww.demon-tweeks.comhttp://www.demontweeks.com and...

Well....... today Mr ChavyBoy and myself fitted my new Eibach Pro-Kit springs on my MKII 172 ! When I say, Chavy and myself I meant Chavy and I watched while I fooked up putting on my clear repeaters ! (DONT ASK !) :oops: Here is the standard ride height on the fronts, 13 cm from the rim...

This was posted in another thread but it was off topic so it was getting lost so I wanted to post a new thread. This is the 172 Turbo from Mexico that was posted a while back. http://www.terra.com.mx/galeria_de_fotos/images/88/174073.jpg I love those chrome/silver wing mirrors, where can I...

I know the topic of insurance has been talked about a lot on the forums but I need some specific answers to my situation. I have a MKII 172 which I am having lowered on the weekend and then I also want to change the wheels and get an exhaust, induction kit, etc. I am currently with Tesco and...

Anybody had this done yet ? I am looking into getting a new exhaust in the summer and had my eye on this. I dont like the exhausts sticking out under the back bumper so the hidden option is perfect for me. Is £299 a good price for this or are there better options elsewhere ...

I need to buy a helmet for a few track days coming up, where is the best place to get one ? Preferably with a CS discount. Cheers, Dai

Going to book my car in for its first service (12,000 miles, 2 years) this week. How much am I looking at it costing me ? Is there anything I should specifically ask them to look at ? Engine mounts ? Also, my car has the famous 4k rattle, shall I bother asking them to look into it ? Has...

I have been toying with the idea of buying a cheap Williams and stripping it down for use on track days as I would like to start going to as many as I can throughout the year and I dont really want to keep taking the 172 around the track because of wear and tear, etc. Maybe I care about the 172...

Had to drive past the Renault dealer in Swansea this morning and as I did there was a recovery truck pulling up with a W reg, MKI Silver 172 on the back of it with all the back end smashed in on the corner. Maybe a casualty of the snow that we had down here yesterday ? Hope it didnt belong...

Jay, your PMs are full mate !

Will the black splitter seen in the pic below fit a standard 172 bumper ? What is the model number and how much will it cost me ? When washing the car the other day I noticed that the bottom of the bumper has been scratched and the plastic of the bumper is rough so I thought this would be the...

I want to get a TFT LCD Monitor for the car to be mounted in the cup holder slots under the climate control like so : http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/ice/dans5.jpg http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1077022391__MVC-260S.jpg What is the biggest (or most sensible) screen size I...

After test driving the 182 Cup yesterday and I am going for the Eibach Pro lowering springs for my 172. Where is the best value for money place to get these done ? Cheap would be good but I want them to do a good job too obviously. I am a Cliosport.net member so where would be a good place...

56Kers BEWARE ! LARGE PICS BELOW ! OK, just went for a spin to Halford to get some wiper blades for the missus car. Had a look around and then thought we would go and have a look in the local Renault garage to see if they had the 182 in ! We got there and there it was ! A brand new...
