Haha was thinking of upgrading to raceland coilovers [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I have an unhealthy obsession with the ph1 look so i'll be sticking with it. I find the Ph2 wheel looks odd on a Ph1 dash.

No worries! Car arrives beginning of May. It has done 41k km so 25k miles, left hand drive. Comes with a mountain of service history. Trophy front splitter, trophy rear spoiler, CF bonnet, aftermarket exhaust, aftermarket suspension (not sure which brand, I saw some yellow springs so maybe KW)...

The engine will crank but not fire. The pump is 100% not 'whurring' on second ignition. I have a second 172 sitting in the garage and tested them back to back and in one you can hear the pump prime and the other you can't.

Need to source a fuel pump as I think mine has given up the ghost. Fuel pump relay is good but cant hear it priming when the ignition is switched on. Pump wiring is getting 12V also. Any one know the Renault part number or an alternative that is a direct replacement into the housing? Thanks

Also if anyone can identify the exhaust that would be some good info to know. @cat171

So it's been a while since I've updated this. Cars leaving the nest in the next month are the Delica and the RS Iceberg 172 :cry: But there are some fine replacements on the way :smile: The Delica is my daily driver, it has been great for winter and has all the space you could ever need but...

The nest is full!!

Yeah its a resonator. The exhaust is designed by a company called SiFo and manufactured by HKS in Japan. It is specifically designed for Clio 172's. Quite a rare exhaust and each one has a build number.

Yes! Took a while to put the deal together but we came to an agreement in the end. Driven it a couple of times now. It sounds fantastic idling cold and when you get on it it pops and bangs. Definitely puts a smile on my face!

Mars Red Clio Ph1 172 is currently going through the inspection process here in Canada. It will be lining up along side these in their 'new' garage!

No it's not mega money but by the time you have added shipping and tax it does start to creep up. But most of the cars from Japan are so so so clean on the underside with no rust or corrosion issues. It's quite amazing considering the age of the cars. I also believe that the Ph1's will go up in...

Haven't had it out on the road yet so see people reaction, I think I have the only Ph1 in Western Canada!! It is getting the Canadian equivalent of an MOT today, I think it's failed on a CV boot, aux tensioner rubbing on the aux belt and the front discs being a little pitted from where it has...

Yes 15 years. Long wait for my Megane R26 :( Thanks.

Thanks! It works out really nicely here in Canada with it being LHD. I have another one on the way which I couldn't pass up on....

Seems on the steep side of things, but they are better than a 182 trophy so maybe some good value :wink: https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-clio/renault-clio-x65-sport-172-exclusive-16v---------2001/7434474

Managed to pick up this Ph1 Clio from a dealer in Japan. Super excited about this one. The Iceberg Silver 172 will be on the road by the end of this week!

There are a few limitations. The main one is the gearbox i believe. But with anything if you drive the car with some care and finesse that will help. Supercharging is a nice option as the power is more linear and not so hard on the gearbox.

Never realized they where that rare in Switzerland! Saw one years ago!

The car was originally listed for 75k before it went on PH :openmouth:

Eye-Spy a Spec R - more snaps over the weekend to follow

I haven't been out to Drumheller yet. But I've done Golden and Field. Canmore is amzaing, I think that is where I will play out the latter years of life if I can afford to live there! Got a trip in a couple of weeks out to Vernon, BC for a bit of R'n'R. I might be returning with an RX7 that is...

There are some pretty amazing tin cans going through auction this week. Thought i'd throw the Leggy in the mix as I love them a really want another!

Was a fun weekend, with some good weather. Clients car came in from the port.

Really hate Ph1's they look so dated now :wink: Approve of the new ride height!
