Just stumbled across this. No pictures yet, but they're claiming it's the car used in the add running for the new Clio. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-Renault-Clio-Mk1-2-0-16v-F7R-conversion/174123629988?hash=item288a93bda4:i:174123629988 They appear to have a couple of others listed too.

To cut a long story short, the keyless buttons on my door handles aren't working properly, so I'm going to replace them. I've bought some spare handles and new buttons but, before I fit them, I have been wondering about painting the door handles in blue to match the car, rather than the standard...

So, picked up my 197 and, while it's "ok", I am going to work through the usual suspension joints and bushes in the coming months, just because I am fussy and want it perfect. On my 172, I used mostly Lemforder for track rod ends etc, with genuine Renault lower arms and the odd Powerflex bush...

Not really intentional, but it's happened :ROFLMAO: As some of you know, I had been running about in a Vectra wagon for the last year or so. It was pretty much the most boring car in the world, but was deeply practical, acting as a tow car and a van for carrying rally-related crap about...

Bit delayed, but a mate and I went over to Belgium last week for the Ypres Rally. This is probably one of the biggest rallies in Europe and was for a long time part of the European Rally Championship. However, it now makes up part of the Belgian championship, the British Rally Championship and...

Went down to this last Sunday, so thought I would share a couple of pictures and videos. For those who don't know, legislation was passed a couple of years back to allow public roads to be closed for sporting events, without the need for an act of parliament. This means that local authorities...

What's the difference between these and the ones fitted to the road car? Been doing some searching but struggling to find a definitive answer. I know the outer joints are different, but are the arms/bushes any different? Got a set sitting here and was wondering.

Does anyone have access to a good calculator for this, or able to give me some guidance? A couple of drives in my car have revealed that the brake pedal is pretty long. I need to bed the pads in, so the brakes aren't brilliant obviously, but there seems to be a lot of pedal travel regardless...

Need a bit of help.... Are they marked with an offset? If so, where? Looking at a used set, but the seller doesn't seem to understand what offset is. Trying to guide him as to where to look...

Anyone got any experience of anything like this? Have just bought a cheap Vectra C as a daily/tow car and obviously it doesn't have Bluetooth or anything that fancy. I don't really want to change the factory head unit, but would like Bluetooth for my phone and, if possible, music. Has anyone...

Looking to build a website and just wondered if anyone had any suggestions? To begin with, I just want a simple holding page, but will look to build something a bit more complex later. I have hosting capability, so ideally want a desktop tool where I can put a page together and then host it.

I am sure a few people have done this, so was wondering if anyone had any pictures or could run through how/what they did? Appreciate it!

Anyone on here want to own up? Think it was silver. I really appreciated the police closing a lane and ruining rush hour traffic instead of towing it the quarter of a mile to the next junction :neutral:

This week, I have received the following email from Safety Devices: "The October 2017 MSA bulletin details new requirements for Roof and Windscreen Pillar Reinforcement in vehicles competing in Stage Rallying. The full amendment can be downloaded from our website. We have also produced a...

Parked outside the Riverside Leisure Centre this afternoon.

Yes, that topic again. Before I go back to the test station with the printed notice in hand, I just wanted to check-in on this issue to ensure that I am talking sense. My car failed the MOT on the following: "003 Brake load sensing valve linkage seized rear (3.6.E.3)" Before I took the car...

I've been doing some searching but not come up with much. Has anyone ever measured the differences between 172, 172 Cup, 182 and 182 Cup suspension parts? What are the actual differences? I know the damper bolt spacing is different on the 182 Cup, but what about the actual hub dimensions? Am I...

Oh dear, or not oh dear? http://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-eurocars/next-megane-renault-sport-leaked/35458

I know this isn't eBay/PH etc but saw this for sale on passionford in case anyone is interested: http://passionford.com/forum/cars-for-sale/491615-cheap-ph1-172-project.html

My friend bought a Ph.2 172 from an auction last night for the princely sum of £450. Thought I'd ask on the off chance that it had been a member's car at some point!

Nothing too glamorous, just some phone snaps I took while wandering around. For those not in the know (it is a Renault forum after all), Ford Fair is the biggest Ford show in Europe and is held at Silverstone. It's been a few years since I last visited and it's certainly changed a lot. There...

Does anyone know what size the hose outlets are on a 1*2 header tank? Both the lower feed outlet and the overflow?

Some pictures from yesterday's Bolton Midnight rally, the last round of the MSN Circuit Rally Championship. @EVOgone was there in his Cup car and running very well indeed, knocking about the podium places all day and generally upsetting much bigger and more powerful cars. A mixture of camera...

Saw this parked in the paddock at Snet yesterday. Anyone off here? It was lovely!

Spotted this morning at about 9:15. Saw it from a few cars back, think it was 06 reg, black wheels, Cup spoiler, looked like it had a cage in it.

Popped along to Snetterton on Easter Sunday to see the Tricolore Trophy boys in action. Had a good chat with @Tony Hunter (nice to meet you) and a few other Clio racers whose names I didn't get. Also saw the 197 that @Russ Rallye built which seemed to go very well. As well as the TT, there was...

The Sunflowers have one, so do the Racing Blues and even the Arctic Blues... ...why are Mondials being left out? I shall start with my dented ex-daily/track car, currently in hibernation waiting for me to find the time to turn it into a proper track car... Where are the rest of...

Was just over a week ago now, but popped down to the MGJ Engineering Brands Hatch Stages on the 31st of January and took a few pictures. The weather was pretty miserable, so taking pictures wasn't really very high up on my priority list. That and I have zero talent anyway. A mixture of SLR and...

Been doing some searching on this but not turned up much. Lots of people talk about different fifth gears and final drives etc etc. What are the standard Clio 1*2 gear ratios? Can someone just post a list of what they are, including the different final drives for the ph.1/ph.2? Also, for the...

Well, with a new car coming soon, the Clio is going to retire from duties as a daily driver and probably become a full-time track car. The Turinis were in dire need of a refurb, and running 15" wheels makes much more sense for track days. I bought these a while ago and thought I might as well...
