    Gigi the Gordini’s thread

    Looking good! the steering wheel stripes always f**k with my OCD too, the Twingo was the same! on LHD cars the stripes on the bonnet and roof match the ones on the top of the steering wheel but on RHD cars it looks odd! once you have seen it you cannot un-see it!

    hi just got my self a clio mk 3 looking for inspiration

    182 injectors and down/up/across to EFI parts for a remap for 140hp. Add a front mount intercooler and decat if you want to push towards 150hp

    Car wouldn’t start, but battery and alternator are good?

    Battery is on its way out or earth strip, will be one of those 2. Take a jump lead from the negative battery terminal to a good solid metal bit of the body shell and try and start it, if it starts fine then it's an earth strap somewhere that's corroded or broken. If not then it's the battery...

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    Local scrappy got a white dci in for breaking, went and had a look as my front bumper had a load of scuffs on it! Mine looks like this... One on the scrap car was dirty but good condition, £30 later... Swapped over the rubbing strip's, gave it all a clean. Not swapped the fogs as one of mine...

    Clio 1.6 RSi looks lovely to me

    Clio enthusiasts come in all forms though! you have the MK1 lot, The V6 fans, the Diesel smokers etc! Its one of those cars that will eventually sell but its audience is so small it will take its time! Agree the seller seemed to think they were onto something more desirable than it is, the...

    Question about Daytime running lights on Clio IV

    Actually now I read it, he said a 64 plate which will be a ph1 so yes you were thinking of the right car, the little DRL on the grill. They also just get swapped by changing the full unit

    Clio 1.6 RSi looks lovely to me

    I think it's one of those cars you would need to be a proper Clio fan to see the appeal. I like them they drive nice and go quite well. But I would see it as more quirky and rare to a modern classic, but then you look at older warm hatch type cars from a few years before the RSI like an AX GT...

    Question about Daytime running lights on Clio IV

    Replacement unless you are good with electronics is a full light unit, you replace the full headlight, my birds 68 plate has already had one under warranty

    Subframe 1727182

    Mine tracks identical to a normal 182. Apparently ph1 subframes are different but all ph2 subframes are the same width.

    Subframe 1727182

    Identical on my diesel one, only difference was it was missing the hole for the lower gearbox mount. Just check to confirm the above incase the 1.2 one isn't as thick, regardless I'm sure if it's thiner then it will be lighter!! Diesel one is definitely ok as that's what I run and the wide...

    Want to upgrade track times, searching for recommendations

    Missing Australian-delivered 172 phase 1's

    Why do people find it so hard to accept that different specs go to different countries. They will have been imported over then Renault AUS will have fitted the extra bits at import centre like all the UK cars got here with the alarm, window etching and locking wheel nuts. There was the...

    Want to put a TOM TOM sat nav from a CLIO MK3 into my I-Music clio MK3 that does not have Sat nav

    Dashboard out, dash/interior wiring loom replaced, sat nav Ariel ran is all required as far as I know. And at that it's not a very good setup anyway!
