As said on a previous thread I have fitted the newer KTR Race/track engine mounts. This is the result... :lolup:

The one you get when you pull away sometimes... Take out your battery, and check the nut that holds the pin in the gearbox for the gearbox mount to mount to. I have been trying to track down my knock for a long time and when changing my engine mounts today I found the pin was loose. this was...

They list two types, a silver and a red set. Red set being firmer and more for race/track cars. I have taken a punt on the red ones for the road. I give the little PH1 some abuse on the track and I have torn two brand new Renault items so wanted something strong. Am i going to regret this on...

I have Ktec gold top-mounts. My Pure top-mounts and strut brace should arrive soon. I'm going to attempt the swap myself... I have Eibach sportline springs on koni adjustables. Will I need spring compressors to swap the top-mounts over? or will I get away without?

Been spending lots on suspension and brakes and other bits and bobs on the Clio. I have decided that I want to keep this car, I have really grown attached to it, its been a labor of love. I'm rapidly approaching 150,000 miles on the original engine. Oil is changed regular enough and come oil...

Hey, I have a new knocking noise. Its more of a deep metallic clunk/click. This Thud like knock is different to my previous as it moves from left to right within the engine bay. Now, when on motorway if I accelerate hard the car will steer off to the right, then when I decelerate the car...

So errr, I had kwikfit do some work on my car. Today I had my anti roll bar bushes changed (inner/outer). Car feels great however..... It turns out when I had the same place change my wishbones some time ago they fitted Renault 19 wishbones. They have today had to fit different outer roll bar...

260,000 KM 24 laps of the ring. 40+ laps of zandvoort I drove into the local garage this morning for her yearly APK (mot). I snapped the handbrake cables about 6 months ago. Apart from the handbrake she passed with flying colours. No one cares here at work, so I have to vent here. Very...

I love watching these. There are many I could have posted, however the one that always has me questioning my perception of physics is this... Shame about the quality. The driving however... Any other great vids?

Please see the attatched photo. Is this because of my poor driving? Or is this because of poor tracking? I have had the car tracked 6 times this year alone. Lots of new parts on suspension and steering. This is drivers side (lhd car), passenger side is not as bad as this side.

Assetto Corsa has now been semi released via steam. For those with a PC and a wheel.. you really need this sim in your life.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksG-ffMfvi4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvUDvMdlH0w That is all.

I bought an Alienware Aurora R3 some years ago and I have since sopped out most of the components. One thing I changed the motherboard as the Alienware one died. Its never really worked properly since due to the Alienware having sub boards to control the water cooler and lights etc. Today I...

Hi all, Pretty please in need of the official tracking settings for a PH1 Clio 172. The garage I take it too keep setting it up using the only settings they have, which is for a ph3 clio RS. I need something to take to them so they can set the car up properly. John

I have a little problem. Every time I come off and on the throttle in a reasonably hard way the torque is pushing the steering out. Feels like I have worn engine mounts. However, these have all been replaced by Renault them selves, all three. All my suspension/steering is brand new bar the...

This was sent when trying to order two new driveshafts... Dear johngordon1981, there are 2 types for offside. type 1.....Split shaft with support bearing type 2.....Single shaft (No support bearing) We have both types for the right side and both priced same £49.99 , the postage combined for 2...

When do you stop putting money into a 13 year old Renault Clio? I have owned my little Ph1 for a little over a year now. In that time I have spent an awful lot of money on the car because...its never quite felt quite how I wanted. So, in them 14 months of ownership I have done the following in...

Are the drive-shafts on a LHD car the same as on a RHD car? ​J

Are they adjustable camber or do you have to purchase separate camber bolts?

I have heard of people moving the engine on the mounts slightly to help with drive shaft binding on lowered cars. My engine is pulling one shaft on acceleration and pushing it out under deceleration. How do I go about making sure the engine is lined up properly on its mounts.

I have a knock on front left (lhd car) when going round right hand bends i get, thud thud thud. When i brake the car steers left and when i accelerate you literally feel the geometry re settle in a different position. I grabbed the left front drivers wheel when stationary the side by side play...

My ph1 is still giving me headaches. I have had new wishbones with brand new oe bottom joints with powerflex bushes. New inner and outer track rod ends and on Friday it goes in for steering rack bushes. When i brake fairly hard the steering will move (the wheels change direction, seems more on...

Just a quick one.. I recently got a set of used VMAXX coilovers. They are pants. I don’t get on with them at all and they don’t even provide decent enough handling to put up with the crashy ride. A few quick questions… What is the best suspension setup for compliance on the road with good...

I'm not going to turn this into a "i raced this and bla bla" kinda thread, however I came up behind another PH1 Rs today after taking mine to the garage to check air pressures now that the snow is gone. I instantly got excited, checked for the signs that it was a proper RS, then proceeded to...

If you do, then i invite you to join a virtual clio cup championship hosted by BeRacing.be. There may be prizes at the end of the season. If anyone is interested i will post a link to the registration page. (free to join) http://www.beracing-fxx.com/site/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=400

I had my ph1 sent for wheel alignment today and after getting back from work I noticed that the base settings they used were for a 2005 Clio 3 rs! I'm guessing that there is a difference between how the two should be setup given the different chassis and all. How far off are they? I have a...

Just had vmaxx coilovers fitted on the ph1, the rear springs are shocking and give me no movement at all on the back. The springs are fully compressed and tend to overlap each other. I know this has been talked about before. Is there a fix apart from replacing the springs. Mines currently set to...

If I sit at a standstill with the handbrake on, put the car into first gear with the clutch pedal fully depressed. If I then rev the engine even with the clutch pedal fully depressed the car will try to creap forward as if the clutch is not fully engaging. I am thinking clutch cable? anyone...
