hmmm, wonder wheels wasn't as wonderful as i'd hoped, though realistically i'd have been utterly impressed if it had sorted out my wheel. this is after one application of wonder wheels, agitator brush, then very stiff brush: this is after four applications of wonder wheels, agitator...

thread hijack- chrispy.clio, did you get my pm about arch liners?

will do, will get a few pics of stages- application, scrub, finish so you can see

we all start somewhere. get a torx bit and you can't go wrong. the bolts won't come all the way out, they will stay in the plastic lid, but plenty loose enough to pull the lid off

you said you dont want to do track days, but a couple of track days with some driver tuition could be good, it will help you get the most out of the car and you could probably drive it faster then any mods would let you...?

as said above they don't suffer from anything that other 1*2 don't suffer from. engine and exhaust mounts are too weak but upgrades are available. bad point for me is that i don't find the seats very comfortable, there's no real back support in the seats at all. you can retrofit the standard...

from memory its a torx bolt, so you need a torx bit

apparently it sounds like a diesel when they go. to be fair if there's any concern i would get it changed with the belts as it's a belts off job.

they're probably talking about the shocks/struts. don't know how much they are from renault (probably c.£50 + VAT) but www.auto-nation.com have them for £48 each. delivery is around £8 but as a club member you get 5% discount, discount code is in the trader section.

yeah got some sealant. saw some wonder wheels in tesco a couple of days ago, will go back and get some and report back. thanks for all the replies :)

i think pitted. here you go: this is what i have in between every spoke... this is after 5-10mins with neat daisy spc and a cheap washing up sponge/scourer...

i tried AG engine and machine cleaner too, but it had no effect.

'Tis true, I normally read about them failing in Vauxhalls, which funnily enough they share parts with Saab! The engine recirculates the exhaust gases to keep the engine cooler and the emissions down, and as you say it warms the engine up quicker. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve.

its a close ratio gearbox so will be a bit higher than normal. i think 80mph in 5th is around 3750rpm

hi, just got my dog-bone bushes delivered. do i need to fit the bushes a particular way up, or get my dremel out for anything?

it looks like the previous owner has neglected just the one alloy for its whole life. the dust is seriously baked on. i've tried neat daisy apc, autoglym paint renovator and t-cut (basically what's in my shed) but it does nothing. i've read about brick acid (?) but perhaps i should try some...

mine does this, new owner too, glad its not just mine.

i like that ride height, what spec is the suspension now?

my car is farting a bit where the cat joins the centre section. where the exhaust has four slits around it to aid fitting, there's gases coming from one of those. the horse-shoe style exhaust clamp a la: has had it so needs replacing, but are these clamps actually any good? they only put...

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project i was thinking the same about the tyres. always fancied dark alloys too. only drawback is i would have to factor in the cost of lowered suspension too, the standard height is too high and would look worse with smaller alloys.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project love your car. how come you went with 15" alloys to replace the 16" standard?

the picture at the top and the link to the k-tec racing bushes further down are for two different parts of the car. the pic at the top may well be for your car, they connect the end of the ARB to the wishbone, where most cars would have a droplink. then there will be two or four ARB bushes...

31, 172 Cup or "little blue mid-life crisis" as my brother calls it.

i was forced to watch the a-team the other day too. i have low standards though, so i thought it was great!

there's something about cinemas. my mate had his wipers stolen at one. what film did you see?

simples, it's basic business. supply & demand. there isn't enough mk3 clio sports on the road for companies to warrant spending tons of cash developing products. my 2p.

cheers

brakes or power steering- which reservoir is next to the coolant bottle, and which is behind the top engine mount? cheers

first post, op bought it in auction

yup looks good
