    What tyres for an upgrade on T1-R's?

    They're ok on other cars, the Clio just kills them and they aren't a scratch on the michelins.

    do clio sports always break??

    When I was 20 Renault 5gtt's had 60-80k on them and around the £3000 mark.. A friend sold his for £800 with 70k and by today's standards would be a minter.. They've floated around the 1500-3000 mark for the last 10 years and it's only now that they have gone over 5 for good ones, higher for...

    Decisions

    If I was looking to buy a set, I'd only buy silver or a metallic grey.. I had while wheels once, and gold ones.. I soon wished they were silver.

    Where to grease me squealers?

    They should move freely along the channels, wire brush them as the corrosion sets in and jams them.. I had a set of normal pads get stuck and burn out the discs. If they rattle around like mad there is a chance your carriers are worn, but it's slim.. If the pad has a rubber pad on the back...

    Realistically, how many miles before my Clio dies?

    We got shiit service once in a restaurant and at 9pm only ordered a garlic bread and desert.. The waitress stood in the doorway giving us evils as we drove off.. Sorry I didn't tip you for an £8 bill when I ordered at the bar you miserable cnut.. Have we all decided about the pay yet or are...

    Best way to hide TV cables?

    I find less is more, I walk hung the TV, chased out for Internet, power and sky/freeview, have a cyclone micro USB player.. When you look you see nothing but my 46" TV... Well, that was until I stuck the ps4 under it on a small shelf, but that's being removed because I use a gaming monitor...

    Cambelt and autodata

    I wouldn't do one for money, it takes long enough just to get to the belts.. I did mine and a friend needed his doing, so I got the tools.. I party did it to save the money, the other part was listening to every cry about how no one else on earth apart from 4 specialists can do them.. I like a...

    Cambelt and autodata

    I think it says lock the cams/crank, spin the belt with the pulleys loose to equalise tension and then lock the pulleys, tighten up the pulleys, remove the tools, turn the engine a few times and refit the locking tools to check it's all in time.. It sounds sooooo easy, but doesn't happen...

    Been keyed

    When I was younger a guy I knew (rich kid) would do stuff like key cars, baseball bat them.. That wasn't the bit he enjoyed or the reason he did it.. The point was the owner would have the car repaired and when it was he would go back and do it again.. Fix it at your own peril, chances are...

    New owner, after some advice

    Tidy up the minimum and sell it on making it someone else's problem.. Spend more buying a better well sorted car and you'll save money in the long run.. Cheap clios ain't cheap..

    Cambelt and autodata

    Yes the horse shoe is a must and then had the crank pin and cam pulley locking tool too.. A C spanner would have been nice.

    Cambelt and autodata

    Im not sure if you need to be a member to view them, but there are a number of threads and an article/guide or two.. I've done my first 2 a few weeks ago and getting the horse shoe to line up first time is about as easy and fingerbanging the queen. First go took about 1 million goes as I was...

    Handbrake removal? from caliper?

    They don't like coming out when old and by then you just wish you had a new one.. They're cheap, so either buy one first, or check the stock at the local motorfactors before you start..

    90's modifying scene, what were we thinking????

    Uprated leads off ebay - yes or no?

    Yep, just jog on the plugs at service time... Years ago I would keep more spares, replace working parts with new and keep the old.. Now I keep my money and let Renault store the parts until i need them..

    Uprated leads off ebay - yes or no?

    I've never known an aftermarket lead out perform a genuine standard lead on any car.. Mothers Clio182 has never had a new lead since she got it new.. Perhaps these are different colour, but what's wrong with black? It goes with everything.

    How to check a front wheel bearing?

    I normally take hubs off in pairs and run them down the local garage.. £25 later and I'm winning.. The rear discs come or can come with bearings in, so I often don't waste my time and just order up a set of them..

    Another boost thread

    I'd happily drive a low/mid boost turbo converted 182 with little for than a zorst, filter, upgraded pads.. I've been considering buying a charged Clio and downgrading all the bolts ons because it's not essential.
