Is there an option to simply upgrade the OEM dampers and retain the CS springs, I'm thinking back to Saxo days when I had Billy dampers and H&R springs, was fantastic and compliant.

Ok thanks a lot dude.

I see Chris has ‘liked’ this post. The irony here being that despite being an old French car, the only reason things are (almost) falling off is because of incompetence on the part of the installer(s), whether that be Chris or others is irrelevant at this stage. The thing that actually annoys...

Count yourself lucky you didn’t. The alarm alone is enough to make me want to burn it. Can’t even leave the damn thing locked. I’m happy to continue reporting progress as normal, just felt it was necessary to respond to those who don’t seems to have any empathy for my situation. Anyway that is...

I have done. At this stage I feel there’s no point as the number of things giving me grief seem to be growing, furthermore, I can’t help but feel like some of these would have been apparent already (I.e. the alarm issue which is doing my f**king head in), and certain info conflicts with what is...

Boo hoo. If it was your hard earned money you’d have more empathy. I could elaborate on the list of things that have p*ssed me off about his purchase but I won’t for fear of upsetting any more cry babies on here.

yes I found that when I got my Clio 200 I could carry way more speed than in the EP3.

Yes the EP3 is just excellent I had one of those some time ago, great cars and really involving to drive!

Ok the alarm has just gone off again at work following the 'ignition trick' this morning. So we've had approx. four hours of no alarm, then it went off again. It seems to run for a few minutes, then stops, then starts again and sounds for 1 minute or so maybe longer, then stops briefly, then...

Excellent work, looks super tidy! Love the colour contrast with the wheel too...

Looks fantastic, what shifter are you using?

In fairness I didn't expect the car to be mint at all, it's 15 years old, my only gripe is (or now was as I'm over it) the poor level of workmanship in certain areas. That's all. There are also a few things that I was told that seem to conflict with what was presented in the build thread...

Lol I see, it's fortunate that the opinions of others don't worry me too much then eh ;) Perhaps this will help you understand my initial frustration; I paid full whack for a car that had some quite concerning issues, anyone with a degree of sanity would feel the same way. If you are going to...

Ahhh I see, so I suppose if you taped over the sensors then that would in effect do the same thing, unless it's a faulty sensor causing the alarm to activate...who knows! Not sure what you mean guys, also i'm not so sure you'd feel sorry for him if it was either of you in my position, perhaps...

Hmmmm, there is some differing advice here lads who do I believe?! :) I don't want it too hard as I won't be using the car on track, I have Ohlins on my Megane and they're insanely plush and the rebound is amazing, I'm trying to recreate that compliancy on the Clio. It won't be sitting low so...

Correction to my post above, glue was on both windows not just drivers side hence photos of passenger window! Ok great thanks. So does yours not go off when it's on your drive at home? Mine just goes off whenever the car is locked normally. So far so good this morning, although it set off...

I wonder whether it's because Chris swapped out the handle with a base model Clio that it's different? My wife had a Clio years ago and I can't remember whether that had the three dots facing down or up...must be a logical explanation for it anyway. So I've been enjoying buzzing around in the...

Would this kit offer a substantial improvement over OEM dampers and Cooksport springs? I say OEM dampers, but I suspect my current dampers are not made by Renault and in fact a cheap equivalent of an OEM product, which despite popular opinion means that I feel they are less capable than those...

Ok will try this, thank you! Lewis.

Thanks guys. I thought initially the switch button had been installed upside down but I checked last night and that is the only way it can be fitted, not sure what else it could be other than a wiring discrepancy? I checked most other bolts on suspension and haven't had time to do them all...

I think I have been fair in my assessment, not rude or personal, just making observations as I see fit. The car was marketed as 'MINT', with a build thread to add weight to this depiction. Forgetting to fit a number plate lamp is a 'small thing', omitting to install and correctly tighten a...

Furthermore, if you look at Chris's build thread the bolts are all in place and present in the both photos, so they've been removed after these photos were taken. Perhaps i'll ask him if they were removed by the mechanic who checked the timing, why this would be the case I do not know...

Don't think they're stripped as I've put some temp ones ni and they bit nicely, just another forgotten item I think... I've ordered some replacem,ents

Yes it's a nice machine, although some good work some not so good in my opinion, oh well. It was very close, only saved by my good fortune and the fact I checked it at lunchtime. If I'd have driven home like that who knows what could have happened. OEM I suspect, although I do fancy some...

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a lovely 172 Cup from Chris on here (original build thread below): https://www.cliosport.net/threads/i-bought-a-172-cup.813726/page-5#post-11639488 I've owned loads of French cars in the past, and started off in a Saxo over 10 years ago. My builds have...

Looks great, any more pics of the steering wheel and button assembly, where'd you get those from? Thanks.

I was living in Hertfordshire but I'm in Somerset now, i'll do a build thread ASAP. I used to have a Saxo years ago then a 106 Rallye which you may have seen, then a few other Renault Sport cars since, I love them!

Looks stunning, great work :)
