Just off the phone to Graham Skyes insurance dealing with the modified white Clio. Declared absolutely everything, polybushes, matched inlets, 6 point cage, FK coilovers, brakes, the full spec. 7 years protected NCB Fully Comp: £494.08

The missus wanted to pop into B&Q and this was in the car park at about 15.30pm HK 02 *** number plate, looked completely std

I just really like them and for some strange reason i feel the need to probably own 1. I've always had a soft spot for them and think maybe i should get one.... But this would mean i'd have to sell my Clio 172... Maybe it's a mixture of being stupid, bored, just plain silly but i've been...

Was heading out from Thundersley along the A13 to the Dartford Bridge between half 6 and 7pm yesterday evening. I caught up with him and drove alongside then he turned off at Lakeside. It had a private plate, i think it was B2 *** looked tidy

I went over to North Weald airfield today to watch a friend take part in the 2011 ASEMIC Speed Championship. Basically i took the Clio along to have it scrutineered to see how it would fare and to see which catergory it could compete in. They picked up on a couple of minor points that can...

Is it worth having the F4R head worked on, i.e port and polished etc? Was wondering if this is the area to focus on (better breathing) Was toying with the idea of buying a 2nd hand cylinder head to be worked on. Apologies if this has been covered, i had a brief look in the search function...

It's now on the road so i thought i'd take some pics of it, really pleased with the outcome. It's just how i wanted it to be, to me an understated, minimal look. 2tree 006 by Ricard o1, on Flickr WP_000564 by Ricard o1, on Flickr 2tree 007 by Ricard o1, on Flickr 2tree 005 by Ricard...

Ok so this weekend coming the white Clio should fire up, but i believe the ECU needs clearing first. The UCH and ECU are from a silver phase 1, the key belongs to the white 172 so it doesn't match the UCH and ECU. Is there somewhere in Essex that can do this or is there a reliable company i...

Can the later fuel rail be modified to run like the phase 1 setup which has the FPR in the rail? If so what would I have to do? Thanks

I've bought new brackets that hold the ABS lines from Renault which bolt to the front dampers. The problem the parts department have is finding the part number for the Torx screw that holds this bracket to the damper. Has anyone bought these and have the part number on an invoice they could...

Ok, the X reg shell runs the fuel in and return which I believe to be correct and used the FPR. The Y reg phase 1 shell only has the fuel in and no FPR in the injector rail. Is it just a case of me fitting an injector rail with an FPR then running the pipe to the inlet or is there more to it...

The engine is out of my phase 1 Clio 172 and i'm looking into losing the AC pump and fitting genuine Renault Cup parts. The question i have is that the Cup model is the phase 2 and uses the CB1 engine, the phase 1 engine i have uses the C0 engine. Does this make a difference? Does the phase 1...

I've just weighed the carbon bonnet and the steel phs1 bonnet to see the difference Carbon: 8.3kgs Steel: 12kgs Just thought i'd post this for the peeps looking into losing weight from their Clios

After a 12 hour stint on the white Clio on the good Friday, the white Clio 172 finally came off the 4 axle stands and is now sitting on all 4 of its wheels. Jobs done: Hub assemblies with discs Calipers and braided hoses FK front coilovers Polyflex uprated inner and outer ARB bushes fitted...

Super chuffed to come home to these earlier. After Venom bumping up their prices by £200 and telling me to wait 2-3 weeks i ordered these from europerformance last Wednesday, 5 days not including the weekend direct from Germany. Can't wait to fit them on the white project Clio 172 this weekend...

Ordered these yesterday, just had a phone call from Venom motorsport to say the FK prices have gone up £200 to £770! Kind of thrown a spanner in the works and now having to decide to dig deep or purchase something else. He's offered me a Spax coilover kit for £515 which is adjustable height...

Been working on the white 172 putting parts on the shell, tonight i thought i'd mock up the metallic grey OZ up front to see how it would look. Sod it, i took a Speedline 2118 off the blue Clio and did the same mock up procedure. If Carlsberg did coilovers and spacers......

My bonnet on E Bay, finishes this coming Sunday http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230605022410&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

Ok so i've had this phase 1 white Clio 172 shell for 3 weeks now so i thought i'd put a few pics on here to show what's been going on. I'll obviously update this thread as and when more work is done to the Clio. The plan is to use my Odyssey blue Clio 172 as a donor using the brakes...

For the people that have ex Clio cup race cars, would it be possible to upload some pics I i can see what it looks like. Anything you have would be appreciated Thanks

Has anyone had custom springs done/fitted to their 172? What would be an ideal spring poundage for trackdays. Be interesting to know what spring rates are on different coilover setups from the likes of Bilstein, AST, H&R etc

Finally got round to having a couple of tyres fitted to my painted OZ F1 wheels so i thought i'd offer it up to my project 172

I'm thinking of changing my K Tec coilover kit to a suspension set up that gives me the option or opportunity to stiffen up the ride as i'll use the Clio on track. I've been looking at coilover kits from various companies and most of them are only ride height adjustable (unless you spend well...

I went to pick this up today after deciding to go ahead with a new project, the next stage for me would have been to purchase a rollcage and fit it in my Odyssey Blue 172 but on seeing this shell i knew it was for me. It's going to take a while to have it finished but i'll enjoy doing it. My...

Does the ABS system on the phase 1 Clio 172 run by means of a seperate ECU or does it run off the main ECU? Or how does it actually work? I only ask as the next project is completely bare so i can only assume for now that it's not rigged up. I've been on the search threads and also seen people...

Look much better in the pics than in real life, been refurbing this set of 4 OZ F1 wheels i picked up from breakers yards in the store room at home. Painted in Ford metallic grey and lacquered, not sure whether to fit them yet.

My partner has a 54 plate 1.4 Clio Dynamique which needs the crankshaft seal changing as it's leaking oil. Basically how much would this job cost??

The missus has a 54 plate Clio Dynamique with Xenon headlights, what i'd like to know is do i need to remove anything off the car i.e bumper etc like the 172-182 to replace the blown bulb? Thanks

Ok, so i'm almost on the verge of making a decision on buying a shell with a cage intact. The plan i have it to use my Odyssey Blue 172 as a donor for all parts that will be needed to complete to swap over. I've always wanted a shell to work on, i've had the 172 for over 2 years and in that time...

Are there any companies selling these that give CS members discount? Failing that the best/cheapest company to buy them from? I'd like to go 20mm each side, do they supply bolts that hold them to the disc as well? Then assume it's ok to use my wheel bolts on them? Would like to get a set for...
