as above really, seeing as i'm starting to do bits and pieces under the bonnet and certain things require certain torque settings, I thought i'd invest in a torque wrench So to those of you who have one, where'd you get it from and how much did it set you back? many thanks in advance ed

Hi guys, have been offered a pair of used R888s (4mm left) in the medium compound. What should I be looking at paying for them? theyre the 195/50s cheers ed

Hi guys, recently bought a 172 running the gaz height and damping adjustable coilovers. Have a receipt saying they were set up by Mark Fish a while back, but i think they need a little more tuning When cornering fairly hard (both fast road and track) the rear end seems to bounce quite a...

Had a good little play from j11 to the shell garage. gorgeous coloured car :D

Hi all, sure its a commonly asked question but couldnt find anything in a search (probably searching the wrong thing) Have just got a new car with an aftermarket Sparco wheel on it. As a result the airbag light is on. Is it the same as with bucket seats in that you need to solder a resistor...

So just 12 weeks after I sold my 172 cup, i'm back with a ph1, as I just couldnt stay away from the handling and pure fun that only a clio can provide! Having seen Danny172 selling said car on here, it ticked all the boxes of what i was after. Coilovers, exhaust and nice low miles for the...

Hi all, looking at a cup this afternoon, but unsure as to whether this is a good price or not. from owning one previously I reckon its fairly competitively priced, but would like some further opinions '52' plate 1 owner from new FRSH 48k miles Judging by the miles, age and condition I assume...

.............To sell my 172 cup!! well after a brief (3 month) flirt with a 200sx (most problematic car i've ever owned!!!!) I've decided that I miss the epic handling and character of a 172! So am on the hunt for a ph1 to strip bare and use as a weekend toy/track **** :cool: Will no...

Passed you coming off the m3 onto the m27 :D car looked awesome

Noticed a knocking from the passenger rear the other day which hasnt gone away initially thought it was a loose wheel, so removed/refitted/tightened but to no avail next though it was a blown shock. only replaced both rears 2k ago and its not showing any of the symptoms it did when it went...

Hi all, Decided i'm gonna be a little spontaneous seeing as i'm currently unemployed, and tempted to to drive to the alps to spend a week with the other half. Its a 1400 mile round trip :eek: Has anyone else ever done anything of this sort of distance before? anything i need to look...

Hi all, just wondering where I need to have harnesses mounted to pass an MOT? are there specific points they have to be fitted to? currently they're secure but not sure they'd be classed as road legal any help much appreciated ed

Hi all, need to separate the lens from the rest of the unit. is it a case of heating the sealant up to a hot enough level to prose it open, or is there another way? any help much appreciated ed

I'm sure many of you will come out with all manner of answers to the following statement, but hey, here goes met maz today, and had a good look around the car. Turns out it is pretty much mint ( not a single mark on it!) and runs just as it should. No knocks, no excess tapping, nothing...

Hi all, fitted my v6 airbox today and its a fair bit louder than the standard one. i'm doing a trackday at bedford on saturday and have been alerted that it may be too loud for the induction sound testers. has anyone been round there with the same setup (the quietest of the ktec...

have seen no less than 6 clio 172 cups around hampshire today, mainly on or near the m27! find it a bit ridiculous bearing in mind i've seen one since i bought it, then i see six in a day! only one i saw 'up close' as such was parked up in omer services (ktec recessed + lowered i think)...

Have been talking with Pasty as his mate Philly is pretty nifty with a camera and he suggested getting a few CS guys together for a some pics. anyone interested at all? Apparently Wednesday would be the best evening to do it, and would be somwewhere around Southampton. Please let me know if...

a random thought, but as i have black wheels am thinking black bolts would look more subtle. does anyone sell them as such? or could they be anodised?

Hi all, i think my alternator is on its way out a bit the car has a fairly loud whine, like a supercharger, for the first minute or two til warmed up, and then clears. after a run there is a noticeable belt noise and the idle is pretty rough (rougher than it has been) and the inlet almost...

Hi all, seem to have a curse against locking nuts! have had mcguards as well as cheap ones and they always seem to break on me! the original ones that came with the car all broke at the weekend when i was changing my shocks, so am now running with 4 regular bolts and worried my turinis may go...

Hi all, stupidly hadnt checked my tyres recently and when i fitted my new springs yesterday notice some SERIOUS wear, so am needing to replace them Have always got my tyres done by r-tec in st albans, herts, but as i'm not gonna have the free time to make it up there for a month, and also...

pased you down near the petrol station. silver 172, possibly a cup (possibly not as i think you were a 51 plate) as i think you had turinis. could barely see due to the fog! either way, looked good! ed

Bought some Konis that are in need of a little paint, and gonna take on the task myself. I'm wanting to remove the the bumpstops and all other parts so i'm just left with a bare shock. Should it all be fairly straightforward or as theyre adjustable dampers, will i have to do things...

Got me some koni adjustable dampers in need of some love. poss a couple of new bushes, and they need re=powdercoating. can anyone reccommend someone down south (hampshire) who would be able to help? Many Thanks Ed

Have stripped the rear from the Clio and now have a load of fairly unsightly wiring lying around, with loose connectors all over the place too. Was wondering if theres a specific 'wiring wrap' you can buy just to tidy things up a little, or whehter people just use insulating tipe or alike...
