I imagine some of us belong to more than 1 car club :o before Clios i was into R5 GT Turbos for a few years and still belong to RTOC :o The french have a club also dedicated to all things turbo like the 5,9,11, Gordini so we decided to head over to see what it's all about. So a 4hr drive from...

Ok, so this bank holiday was the first time I've given the Clio a proper drive. We did 876 miles in 4 days and to be honest the only thing that was on the negative side was the noisy exhaust. I believe I have a Milltek exhaust and decat, so on the way home the missus downloaded a decibel reading...

My GAZ coilover suspension is past it's sell by date, the plan is to change over the dampers front and rear over time. Would the Trophy Sachs rear dampers be worth fitting? A set has come up, my GAZ rears are knocking and need to replace so was thinking the Trophy items might be worth a go, it...

I know that cup pack suspension is 60mm with 172/182 RS being 54mm. My question is, could the hub hole on say a 54mm coilover strut be modified to fit the 60mm hub? Top holes have been elongated on some to give you adjustable camber. Does say both bottom holes line up and the top be 6mm...

A long story to this but will cut short, i bought the RB off Christopher back in March with 2nd gear synchro gone and a missfire. A 500 mile round trip to Bolton with a stop at BTM to pick up another gearbox and it's back at home. A good friend of mine Matt who rns Codered Motorsport was 1st...

The OE plastic fronter splitter had a section snapped off by some janky recovery company, luckily enough a 2nd carbon hand carbon splitter came up on the classifieds so i drove round to jtn 11 M25 to pick it up from Budgie (Mike) Today's been the first day in a while where the sun is out and...

Just debating what to do regarding wheels. The Clio will be 90% road and maybe 3-4 trackdays a year (being realistic) and a trip to the Ring. So, for the sake of 3-4 trackdays should i just stay 16"? i'm thinking of a wheel change :o and thinking OZ Ultraleggera in 16"... or just go 15"...

Spotted twice tonight, 1st time at Rayleigh Weir about half 4, silver with orange diamonds, black OZ F1 wheels, lowered. 2nd time it as heading up Bread and Cheese hill Southend bound about half 7 this evening.

The locking wheel nut came through the post yesterday (Thanks Christopher :D) so i thought i'd trial fit the OZ Racing wheels 1: To make sure the centre bores were ok (were machined out from VW 57mm) 2: Make sure they clear the GAZ front strut 3: See if the Graphite Grey suited the RB They...

Today's the first proper day having a look round the 182 since buying. It might be right but i thought i'd check but the Coolant Temp Sensor plug has 2 wires and what looks like a 3rd (green) but seems like it's been cut off... Is this right? I couldn't see a green wire further back on the loom...

Renault Wolverhampton listed on E Bay, they have quite a few parts for sale. While browsing i came across these, £26.56 plus £3.60 postage. Considering NGK for 182s are £10+ each i didnt think these were a bad price for genuine plugs...... Just thought i'd post em up...

Was behind an 05 Racing Blue 182 about half past 8 this morning, it turned off Noak Hill Rd into Laindon common road going through Little Burstead. Looked like a nice std example

I've had these knocking about the store room for 6 weeks, as the weather was good today i decided to do a bit of work on them to have them ready for colour. TBH i'm still undecided on whether to do them in the Graphite Grey or just Gloss White, but to see what they'd look like in the grey i...

I guess i'm after a little reassurance really. I'm looking at having a Clio delivered to me and have had qoutes from recovery companies on Shiply.com Has anyone used them? What's the deal once you accept a bid? A couple of companies have sent me messages asking when to pick up etc, Shiply...

I went to look at this Clio 182 cup today, the advert to me comes across as a half decent car and looked after. Lady owner, after speaking to her last night we agreed a time to view. Within 30 seconds i spotted that most of the rear quarter had been repaired and painted, also what looked like a...

Not sure if it's a good or bad thing but know there's a few of us on the look out for a Clio, either 172 or 182. I went to view 3 Clio RS models yesterday and said no to all of them, 1 for bodywork and lack of paperwork, 1 for mechanical and the 3rd was ok but knew there was no rush in buying 1...

Anyone know this Clio, it has a Cliosport.net sticker on the rear window? Looks clean for the age, plenty of tax and MOT, cambelt supposedly done. Is the price fair for a 172? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3588019.htm

Not that i actually own 1 (yet) but liked these enough just to bid on and win.I hope the link works :o http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170768918617?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Does anyone know of any engineering/machining companies in the south east that could machine out the centre bore of a wheel to Renault 60.1mm?

Spotted a silver clio 182 on autotrader for £2295 that's local to me (Canvey Island) Reg: BK04 UHH I thought i'd pop over there to have a look to see what the 182s are all about, it has Cliosport stickers on each rear quarter windows so i was wondering if anyone knows anything about it. No...

Been scouring different classifieds forums and i keep going back to this, what do people think of it for the money? I see it has a Cliosport sticker. I don't know anything about them, it's new territory. Fingers crossed when both Clios go it releases funds of hopefully 4k absolute max so in 1...

Had this about 6-7 weeks now, bought new plates from fancyplates, other Renault parts like rear number plate light, parcel shelf, interior grab handles, just a little tidy up. I Thought i'd give it a wash and take some pics now it's not on Scotts private plate and back on the original 52 plate...

I can't believe it's been a year already! In that time i've owned 3 RS Clios and still at this present time own 2. It's been a really good year, enjoyed being a part of the Clio community and hope to get more involved in 2012. Thanks to all the people that i've bought Clio parts off throughout...

Toying with the idea of putting 16" OZ Supers on the 172 Cup so i was wondering if there are any pics about. I've tried the search and up to now can't find any, i've found a couple of threads but the pics are missing (no doubt someone will post within 30 minutes!) Also, quite liking the OE...

Ok, so i've owned the 172 Cup for nearly a week now and already been into my local Renault main dealer a couple of time purchasing OE parts for it. One thing i need to confirm 100% before ordering a new gearknob is the part number. Has anyone bought a new Cup 172 gearknob from Renault?? What i...

Hopped on the train from Benfleet in Essex to travel to Bristol to view and eventually buy this Clio Cup from Scott. Decent chap is Scott and after half hour we did the deal and then made the 170 mile trip back to Essex. Blatantly stole (i mean borrowed) some of these pics off Scotts account to...

First time i've seen the Clio on track and really pleased with not only how it handled but also how it looks. Makes for those long days and buying all the parts well worth it. Anyway, i'm probably boring people to death with pics now :o germany1 by Ricard o1, on Flickr germany3 by Ricard o1...

Arrived home at 2am this morning after a 3 day trip out the the Ring and Spa track, i didn't take lots of pics and still have some on my phone but the USB is playing up. There were a few UK registered Clios out there, 2-3 172 Cup model Clios, 55 plate Trophy, 197, track spec 172 or 182. All in...

I've been mildly interested in having the Clio weighed, i'm not chasing figures just curious. So, as there's a scrap merchants round the corner from me i popped down there. Weights below copy and pasted from another thread on this forum. MK1 172 - 1035kg Mk2 172 - 1110kg 172 Cup - 1011kg 182 -...
