Brilliant write up. I have the NS2-R's on the front and t1r's on the back. The Nankangs are incredible, I am very suprised at how well they have coped over the last 4 months. I have taken them on track once and they performed very well, just had a little to much pressure in them. They are on...

This has made me want to sell the 182 and get a Ph1 172.. WOW, absolutely amazing work, really is amazing. Its given me inspiration to get my 205 gti perfect, although I don't think its possible for me to own a car this clean (unless factory fresh).

I watched the Evo Magazine review of the Clio 182 Trophy on Youtube, I realised I needed a 182 after this! The main thing that attracted me was the handling and speed for the money!

Personally I care more about how the car drives.. So I will always try and sort out the running gear of a car before doing the bodywork (but that's just me). I need my wheels refurbished at the moment, but I am putting it at the end of the list of things to do as it wont change how the car...

I do know Nick! Very small cliosport world indeed haha

Yes Graham, I'm good friends with his son Jake. A few of the photos in my project thread are taken in his garage!

Very lucky! My friends dad has just finished restoring his F40, I really cannot wait to go out in it.. Anyway the picture with the red 288gto black Enzo and Blue f40gt? Looks like a couple of cars from Jon Hunt's supercar collection! The guy who has the TaxTheRich100 youtube channel :D

It's usually quite good. I prefer the summer Wednesdays Msv meet. But prept is usually good. I shall be there!

Haven't updated for a while.. I have been trying to get the Clio immaculate, I keep forgetting to take photos of how I am doing this, Just like getting it all Oem and looking clean. Since the last update I have been working underneath the Clio, giving it a full service and replacing coolant...

It was me yes haha :approve:. I keep forgetting how mad they look in person!

Believe it was Summeh? Didn't realise it was a v6, did wonder why someone was driving quite fast behind me haha :) Shame it's wet out otherwise I would have seen it was a v6 and may have put my foot down a bit haha. I only realised once you drove past me!

Saw a very nice Clio Trophy parked in Odeon underground in Maidstone tonight. Then I saw a 51 plate blue 172 just under the bridges by the bottom of bluebell hill. I was in my friends "Orange" Fiesta st! Wondered if either of you were on here?

Blasting it past Odeon in town around an hour ago! Looked awesome haha. Never seen it around before!

I was in my BG 182. Didn't do any laps! But did cruise around a little bit.. Had a play with a blue 200 on the way out of the dartford tolls, which was fun ;) Think you drove past me and gave me a thumbs up

My yozza is really loud below 2.5k rpm. Seems to quieten down in the car under heavy load and then get noisy again at top end. Thought the yozza would have a bit more "rasp" to it, which makes me wonder if i should get the cat sleeved

Thanks :)!

Had a chance to really test these tyres over the past few days. They are amazing, I am soo suprised at how well the car sticks to the road now. Especially with the t1r's on the back it feels planted round corners now! I would recommend them to anyone. Especially as they only cost £80 a corner...

Just went through the whole thread! Wow, really nice and clean 182. Made me realise that mine needs a bit of care and attention before the summer.. oh and some turinis :approve:

I would hate to drive around there with my car being that clean! Looks very nice! :D

Saw a Black Clio 182 park up by burger king. Didn't catch the reg, looked standard though. Was surprised to see another black 182 in Maidstone!

I saw a blue 200 on Seven mile lane on sunday. Seems like a fair amount of cliosports use that road haha. I have seen a blue 172 in Maidstone driving like a helmet

Indeed it is :D! It's brilliant, Lucky I didn't get my coolant leak over your way last night! That would have sucked!

Thanks! The colour is soo rewarding when clean. I will be taking it for a nice drive tomorrow when coolant leak is fixed! So I shall post on here how they are and how they compare to the Toyo t1r's I had on it prior to these

Finally bought some new tyres, Nankang NS-2R (semi slicks), so far they have been brilliant. Havent done too much driving in the dry with them yet. Anyway, time for some noise! So I have now got a Yozza sport exhaust, I fitted it this evening and wasn't "man" enough to fit the decat! But sounds...

Sounds good to me, got quite a few mates looking to do a bit of track time before the summer also!

I'm up for a meet! Would be good to see some other Clios out!

Since my last post quite a lot has been done! New induction kit, new tow eye, cold air feed, new spark plugs, solid engine/gearbox dogbone mount and new rear dampers. The headlights are now immaculate after using the restoration kit and the car has had a thorough clean (claybay, polish and...

On eBay type in "Clio 172 Dogbone" and there will be many solid mounts like the above^ I have just fitted one, its made a huge difference to the gear change! Also stopped my exhaust shaking itself to bits haha

Re: Fitted solid dogbone mount, EML comes on after car is left idling for 10 minutes? Hi Kelv, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I would have thought it is just a coincidence, otherwise I would be the first to get such an issue from a solid dogbone mount. Hopefully something simple!

Hello, thought I'd as the question here quick! I have a 182 and fitted a solid dogbone mount last night. It ticks all the right boxes, vibrates quite a lot when pulling away (as expected). But here is my issue, I was parked up tonight and left my car to idle for around 10 minutes, I then...
