Anyone have any news on when itll be available for the 172 (not Cup)?
I didnt get a chance to speak to R-Sport @ Donnington, but Im hoping itll be out soon, otherwise itll have to be a save-up-and-go-for-Roamers-throttle-bodies option!
Club Autodrome Trackday
Saturday, 2nd August 2003The ultimate track day event on the 3.6mile Gran Turismo circuit. A brilliant layout combining a 1km straight, hairpins, fast sweeping bends and chicanes. This circuit will really put you through the paces enjoying your car to its limit...
Just had a select few mods applied to my Mk2 Clio 172, using lessons learnt from the Cup race cars and Im amazed at the transformation :D
Basically it involves new springs and some geometry changes front and rear.
The result is amazing. The car handles even better than standard, with...
Just dropped the car off this morning for some suspension mods only to receive a call telling me that the rear wheel bearings were leaking grease everywhere! The car has only done 6000 miles!!
I suspect it might have something to do with the handful of track days Ive done as apparantly its a...
Im with Tesco at the moment, but they wont budge on the renewal quote. Im 32, with 9 years NCB so it shouldnt be too much! Can anyone recommend a better insurer, preferably one who doesnt mind alloys/air filter/springs as mods without charging a fortune.
Anyone tried elephant.co.uk - their...
Anyone insured with Tesco with a Mk2 172.....
How much extra do they charge for (a) uprated (in my case, Eibach) springs and (b) air filters (again, in my case, a Ramair).
I seem to remember someone on here, possibly Sangy, had one of these fitted to their Mk2 172. If so, could you possibly post a reply and let me know what sort of power/torque increases you got and how the car feels/performs on the road, plus any other pros/cons. A contact name/nos for the guys...
...just phoned them and apparantly its broken, and wont be fixed for a month or so! Nightmare!!
Anyone know of a good RR in the South East area, other than Power Eng...
For all those people whove got either a HP Induction Kit or Ramair foam filter on their Mk2 172 or Cup, how many of you have had the CO measured, potentially on a rolling road, at high/max revs?
Rumour has it that the car runs lean with this, and other after-market air filter setups, yet BB...
A friend is after a Mk2 Clio 172 leather/alcantara drivers seat, or a complete interior, whichever is cheaper!
Reason - he slid the car into a kerb in the snow and the side airbag went off in the drivers seat, ripping it open! £450+VAT for a new one from Renault....
Anyone recommend a good...
Went over to BBTuning this morning for a power plot for my std import 172 and here are the results:-
Engine Power (measured)...177.3bhp@101mph / 6485 rpm
Engine Power (corrected)...172.6bhp@101mph / 6485 rpm
Wheel Power (measured)...149.4bhp@101mph / 6485 rpm
Torque...
There seems to be a plethora of options - Eibach, AVO, Apex, plus BB Tuinings own kit, and K-Tecs spring/damper setup - most of which claim to improve the std setup.
I know some of you have tried the AVO setup, mainly via Hillpower, and found them rather hard and too much for the std dampers...
My import 172 is coming up for a year old now and Ive only managed 4.5k miles! Do I need to have a 12 month service/check to validate the 2/3 year warranty or can I wait until 12k miles?
OK, so I have a little list of things to be fixed on my import 172 (bought May 2002). I phoned a nearby Renault garage up, and was immediately asked if it was an import! According to the bloke on the phone they have a book on what is and isnt covered on imports and whats different e.g. certain...
My 172 (mk2) has started pulling to the left, which is a right pain in the a&*%. Ive checked the tyre pressures - they are fine. The car has not had any heavy knocks or hit anything which might send the tracking out.
So, any ideas on what it might be and how it can be fixed, BEFORE I go...
Went for a test drive in one earlier this week - absolutely fabulous, even in torential rain!!
Does anyone know what colours Renault made the V6 in (Ive only ever seen silver), can you buy one on import, what do they cost (new/import/second-hand) and any really annoying problems with them...

Just heard today that UCS, now trading as CarStore in Glasgow, have gone into liquidation :o
Apparantly, the company has left a _lot_ of very unhappy customers....the liquidators reckon one dealer is owed 600,000 Euros, another £100,000 and some poor woman ordered and paid £12k for her car...
