If you want to upgrade them get some Willwood discs, callipers, lines and pads. Superb setup, and very good value for money. Phenomenal under hard braking on a light car like the Clio. Have a look <A target=_blank href= "http://www.raldes.co.ukhere and give them a ring www.clio172.com

The dampers are only 60% stiffness all round. My brother has the same Koni dampers (on same settings) with Eccosse springs he can make the car dance all day round track, just turn in harder than normal and lift off. I guess its because a stiffer setup massively reduces understeer so you can...

About 520 notes exc fitting ( I was lazy). I also had some camber bolts fitted for one degree of negative camber. To be honest changing to some quaity springs and dampers must be the best value performance upgrade if you think in terms of lap times. Should knock about three or four...

Click below http://tiscali.cartrumps.newcarnet.co.uk/http://tiscali.cartrumps.newcarnet.co.uk/ Havent come accross a 172, Williams or V6 yet though. Paul (http://www.clio172.comwww.clio172.com)

When I changed my front pads, one of the pads was noticably thinner than the opposite one. My theory is that the pad on the side of the piston (the front callipers only had one large piston as far as I could see) will wear more than the opposite one as it closest to the calliper and...

Fitted some Eibach Sportline springs (30mm actual drop) and some Koni on car adjustable dampers yesterday. Before and after pics below. My brother has this setup on his 106 Rallye and it is superb. Handling is very good corners virtually flat (dampers on 60% stiffness), understeer is not...

In a word how do you do it, without risking the bloody airbag blowing up in your face. Im going to fit a Sparco Lap 3 racing wheel once I get the damn thing off Paul http://www.clio172.comwww.clio172.com

Want a decent steering wheel (as the original one is way to big and has no grip really) (ok its to catch some big juicy slides ;o)) to go with my Eibach and Konis. Got a choice of anything from http://www.sparcousa.com/swheel_competition.aspSparco or...

Did they have any instructors on hand, because thats the best £20-£25 you will ever spend, helps enormously. http://www.clio172.comwww.clio172.com

The Sport Line will lower the 172 30-40mm (actual drop), the Pro Kit about 10mm, bear in mind the 172 is lowered 20mm as standard. Ive ordered Koni Adjustables (on car) dampers as well. Now I only use the car at weekends and will mainly be my trackday car. Which springs would offer the...

Uploaded my website last night. Have a look http://www.clio172.comhere and tell me what you think. It used to be http://www.renaultclio172.netwww.renaultclio172.net but thats a mouthful. My trackday videos are not uploaded yet, but I have put a link to all the 172 / V6 videos I could find on...

The supersprint exhausts look very good, who are the UK distributers? Any idea how much they are? The racing ones, there are two typres (whats the difference?) look as though they replace the CAT, wont this cause problems with the oxygen sensors?

Thats my website http://www.renaultclio172.netwww.renaultclio172.net which has been down since February. Might have a go at getting it back up and running this weekend as Ive got nought to do. By the way that me driving the 172, first time round Donnington. Went back a second time and got it...

Driving my dads 320d estate (150 bhp, 250lb torque model) it was damp took TC /ESC electronic gizmos off for a bit of fun in 3rd gear booted it round the corner od a dual carriage way off a roundabout at 45mph in 3rd gear. Suddenly all the torque came flooding in back stepped out 45 degrees...

Ive just ordered a set for my Mk 1 X reg 172 £55 from ABP Motorsport (01270 567177). If youre interested ask for David. There made to order and take about a week. Hopefully will give better brake feel on trackdays and fast road driving, along with some decent castrol brake fluid. <A...

Toine have a look here for some suction mounts, the one that I have got attaches to the windscreen (2nd one down). http://www.b-hague.co.uk/Mounting%20Brackets.htmhttp://www.b-hague.co.uk/Mounting%20Brackets.htm Paul http://www.renaultclio172.netwww.renaultclio172.net

If anyine fancies goin to Donnington the circuit themselves are organising two days on Sat 1st March and Sun 9th March for £75 all day 9-4. Basically you get half an hour tracktime each hour with half hour for lunch. My brother and I will be there on Sat 1st March. Its a fantastic day for you...

It was damp only the racing line was dry, and the back wheels just came off line, he was trying to go through craners flat, which he did later in the day and just about having enough track to do it, correcting oversteer through Craners is fcuking scary though. And beleive me 106 Rallyes are...

Ive got two vidos of me chasing and passing an original scooby Turbo, Im in the process of moving my site you can add these two if you wat, Ill let you know when they are back up. To give you an idea of lap times my best was 1.35m, compared to a yellow 172 on slicks driven by a clio cup...

Can anyone tell me if the cambelt had frayed / slipped or whatever happened to it, how would this have damaged the alternator. I had to have mine changed at the same time as the cambelt and pulleys etc, beacuse otherwise they could not guarantee the reapairs. Speaking to another mechanic he...

How many of you guys engine numbers are on the technical note covering the cambelt which you can see http://www.renaultclio172.net/advice/cambelt1.htmlhere. As far as I can tell mine isnt??

Craigy and Simon did Renault contribute anything to the the costs of replacing the cambelt and pulleys etc. It cost me £320 to have evrything replaced thats after Renault contributed 60%. Stace I got your e-mail thanks. Looks like some garages buy a cambelt kit while others order each part...

Just been landed with quite a large bill to have the cambelt, accessories belt, tension wheel and pulleys replaced. Runs like a corker now but ..... How many others have had to have all / some of these parts replaced? If you did how much did it come to and did Renault give you any...

Just to warn you Brands Hatch are very funny with video cameras, they will let you use one, but are very fussy with its location and how it is attached. Theyt wouldnt let cars out with it jammed up against under the headrest on several trackdays Ive been on. On trackdays at least it has to...
