As it says in the title:cool:

people over here in ireland, especially the jap car drivers are going mad for luminous coloured wheels. nice to see something new being done, but imo the tried and tested silver, anthracite, black and white are the nicest colours, much classier. but as you said, these are trackday wheels, so...

could be your pressure plate on the way out?

ya think they would look THAT bad if they were anthracite? Very quick, dodgy chop on paint.net...

Hi guys, just looking for opinions as to how a ph1 172 might look on clio extreme wheels, or pics if anyone has anything similar? These wheels to be exact...

Well i got a mechanic to check it over, turns out I was fairly spot on with what i initially thought it was. Rear drivers side wheel is slightly buckled, which wrecked the bearing in the disc. And as for the clunking, my dogbone mount bushes, and exhaust hangers are fairly tarnished. Easy fix...

also, just to mention that i tried taking off in 1st gear using the clutch pedal alone and not touching the throttle. Doing this there was absolutely no judder when taking off. If that helps find the solution to the problem at all?? Oh and the whinig noise that appears to come from one of the...

em....great input, thanks ah she's not that bad, the problems aren't even that big, i'm just very particular about getting things sorted as soon as they crop up, and both of these seem to have arisen at the same time:(

Just looking for opinions on what might be causing these problems. When taking off from stopped in first gear, the whole car judders slightly in low revs until the car is moving and the engine is at about 2500 rpm. My old polo gti used to do this, but the clutch pedal was very creaky and...

nice one dude;)

I know how to fit the upper engine mount, that seems to be a doddle. But has anyone here fitted an upper gearbox mount? And anyone care to give some advice as to how they done it?

yeah i forgot to mention i'd now isolated the problem to the rear wheels, most likely the drivers side rear wheel i have a spare wheel so i'm gonna switch that wheel on to see if it stops the wobble at all yeah it is fairly noticable alright, thats why i'm bumping this up for some help as i'm...

anyone?

Have noticed a whining sound coming, i think, from the back of the clio for the last while and i assumed it was a wheel bearing on the way out. a friend of mine was driving behind me the other day and said one of the wheels was very wobbly, i never asked which one, but he said i need to get the...

carbon fibre....it's an obsession haha

deadly, cheers lads haha, it all adds up yeah?

i've just taken my engine cover off because of the usual rattle problems, but now that its off i see the coilpack is fairly exposed to any water that might creep in. is it ok to leave it off or am i best to just endure the rattle??

I've noticed under heavy acceleration in first gear and high up the rev range in 2nd gear that there is a loud enough knocking coming from under the front of the car. It doesnt feel jumpy as if an engine mount might be gone, but there is a slight wobble when taking off slowly from standstill...

if you can get a good price on a 172 decat from one of them companies with the amount of people interested i might see about sticking my name down

Got up early today to do an oil change on the clio and ended up washing and polishing it aswel. Felt the need to take some pics to show off my work afterwards:thumbsup Comments welcome as always

cheers for the comments folks @ChrisCurr, they are OZ f1's but defo not the ones that come standard on a clio:) @HULK, they're irish plates have a few plans for it, gonna get a set of 18" wolfrace katanas, maybe mirror tints and a big bore exhaust.......:rasp: dont worry i'm joking i plan...

Finally got pics of my new car, my first clio, a ph1 172:) Bodywork is nothing to shout home about, but its mechanically perfect, and i couldnt be happier with it. Done a 350 mile round trip in it the day after collecting it and it didnt once skip a beat. Showed up a few bigger yokes aswel...

Hi everyone, just put a deposit on a 2001 reg clio 172 this evening so thought i'd join up here to get info and what not on them:) Have owned a fair few fast(ish) cars before now, but i've wanted a 172 since i first saw ianeire's first clio back in june 07. Cant believe i'm actually getting one...
