    Sports/reclining seats. Talk to me

    Obviously the trendlines will fit if they are taken straight out of a clio but if they arent is it just a case of getting recaro subframes? They seem.a bit pricey for my liking I mean I could buy a f**king sofa for that money and I dont care much if seats are leather lol

    Sports/reclining seats. Talk to me

    Hmm yeah I may just wait till a really nice recaro comes up and in the meantime just get a subframe for one of the seats above and sell the other one

    Sports/reclining seats. Talk to me

    So what seats has everyone got? I was going to use a Cobra fixed back with harness but thought as its my main car it may be wiser to get some reclining recaro style seats. What confuses the hell out of me is when you may have a cheap brand and how are you supposed to fit them? Cobra seem a...

    Sorry I meant a panel filter inside the standard airbox. How much are cooksport springs? Could always give them a go I suppose. Probably get some cup dampers to go with them.

    Tramlining/following cambers etc

    Like I say its only cos these came with the car and my man maths is saying dont spend any money on it yet!

    upgrades...

    Its mainly cos I want an oem ride quality and dont want the tyres touching the arch liners ever even with passengers in car

    Just Another Clio! (Picture Heavy)

    Yeah its not a choice I would have made but as they came with the car I may as well get my moneys worth out of them :)

    Its killing me seeing those recaros! Look so damn comfy! I hate my sport seats!

    Im going to get it 4 wheel aligned after I get some camber bolts and shims.

    This ARB sounds fun! Im assuming it cures the understeer well.

    Tramlining/following cambers etc

    Yeah T1r's are a good compromise. LOL yeah I would actively encourage anyone NOT to buy Jinyu's as all I have experienced is massive understeer absolutely everywhere! I know it doesnt help its that time of year where the roads are permenantly damp and have "leaf crap" all over them too! I had...

    Tramlining/following cambers etc

    I found proxes 4 are good in the dry but not great for the winter. I used to have them on my saxo as the 4's had stiffer sidewalls than the t1r's

    I dont understand why you should have to declare any modifications other than engine upgrades. For example better brakes and suspension makes for a safer car...so they should pay is not the other way round!

    Tramlining/following cambers etc

    Its annoying as the car came with these fresh tyres but they are so crap its unreal. I sort of want to just wear them out well thats what the financial part of my brain is saying. The common sense side says get some rainsport 3's for the winter.

    Tramlining/following cambers etc

    Thought I'd try taking the Clio down my favourite road today and was shocked to find it was probably slower than in my Twingo RS or even my old 1.4 106! The car seemed to want to torque steer everywhere and follow all the cambers and ruts etc which was not nice if im honest and it felt like the...

    Do cooksport do custom springs and where do you buy them? I only really want mine lowered 20mm max

    buzzing sound from by interior light on 02 172?

    Epic bump. Mine does it as did the other cars I test drove.

    Newbie from Essex

    Im also from Southend....don't see many Clio's about really. Bedford is quite nice on a car I would say. Its flat with nothing to hit (unless retarded) the only corner I dont like is the first one as the brakes take a hammering from that one and its a slow as hell corner.

    sburrell's ph1 172 track project (maybe)

    Ah cool. I thought maybe there was a reason why people tend to have them on. I was thinkingnof removing the bonnet mat thing too but realised it probably helps things look clean so decided to leave that on! I must say im not a fan of mk1's but yours looks pretty tidy. Plans sound good too. I...

    Just out of interest why do people on here always have the engine cover on? I puy mine in the shed as soon as the car had its first clean! How is the induction kit fitted by the way?

    Time for a track car, advice please

    The 182 looks exactly the same as a 172 except it has gay little exhaust pipes poking out (okay they are quite cool)

    Time for a track car, advice please

    Buy the cheapest best condition car you can afford. I dont think its going to matter too much if its sport or cup or 172 or 182 they all seem to pretty much be the same. Sure a sport is heavier but im sure you will probably remove half the stuff anyway and if you dont you'll just have a more...
