    Clio 172 ph1 throttle body fix?

    Ph.1 in silver fella. Should've popped along to the karting the other day ;)

    Clio 172 ph1 throttle body fix?

    I need to lube my cable up actually, and it's showing similar symptoms to this thread. Oh and always good to see another Plymouthian around :)

    Anyone without xenons tried LED headlight bulbs?

    Basically the above. There's no real plug 'n' play LED replacement that can punch as far as a halogen/xenon/HID bulb. Very good for filling the immediate area with light, but not concentrated enough to reflect properly and focus on a long distance. There are LED kits available which put out some...

    Swapping 1.2 16v for a 172? Running costs difference?

    It's not too bad on a 1.2 but the cambelt on a 1*2 is a specialist job. If the timing's even slightly out it'll hit performance significantly, furthermore a cambelt change by someone who isn't a specialist won't look great if you come to sell it.

    Swapping 1.2 16v for a 172? Running costs difference?

    I'd say it's not something you'd notice straight away. You can still get 30+mpg driving normally around town, so personally I don't really use more fuel than I did in my 1.2. It's the bills that are bigger really. Not just repair bills but tax too.

    Race exhaust for 172

    Another vote for Pure.

    Anybody fitted a tablet into their Clio, and if so, how did you go about it? Want one for music/GPS

    Depends how much functionality you want. New you're looking at somewhere around 300-400 for the headunit and 250 for the GPS, but used prices are less than that. I paid 400 for pretty much everything but the TV module, so nav, bluetooth, ipod connection, remote and so on. It's a bit more...

    Plasti Dip Entire car - results

    Looks lovely. Would be interesting to see how well it holds up though, I can see it being rather easy to damage and rather hard to fix without it being obvious you've sprayed more on.

    Frayz's 550bhp+ Prodrive edition Impreza build...

    That carbon splitter... I couldn't handle cracking that!

    interesting light problem

    Not the earths, the connections on the back of the clusters. The pins often corrode.

    Mobius Action Camera - Cheap GoPro alternative/dashcam

    Nice footage :) Sounds like you might have encoded the sound slightly wrong but no matter.

    New Tapatalk Update is w**k

    If it was fine I wouldn't have made the picture months ago because of the constant complaints ;)

    New Tapatalk Update is w**k

    The sooner it gets removed from CS the better IMO. The stupid photo thumbnails hacked me right off.

    The new car.. Stanced thing again

    The only thing I can't quite get on with is windscreen stickers. Ruins the clean look for me. However everything else..... Nailed it. Looks lovely.

    1984 Renault 5 Turbo Maxi - For Sale

    Lovely. Used to be a nice 5 Turbo 2 racing down here, until... Needless to say the bloke driving it was thanking his lucky stars that it was a left hooker.

    ouch..

    I have to agree. Every time I see one shunted, I'm impressed how well it's held up. Very strong and very safe little cars. You certainly wouldn't see it from a 106/306/saxo and you still wouldn't see as much impact resistance from the likes of a 206/Corsa C either.

    Which French death trap?

    Reminds me of this, which is mildly appropriate seeing as it's christmas. Oh, it automatically becomes a video. I tried to leave it as a hyperlink. I think the Sexo would have to be further fettled with, 180bhp is a bit tame IMO.

    How many miles has your Clio done ?

    Approximately halfway to the moon.

    Saxo VT? Crash A40!

    Must've been doing all of 7mph to cause that much damage. Lucky he wasn't going faster, he could've been dead.

    Hmmmmmmm, yes please.

    Fcuking love Ultimas. Filed under 'Barely Legal' in my car p**n stash.

    Is my clio taking too much antifreeze?

    Don't put crap in your coolant system. It gums up more than just your radiator.

    interesting light problem

    Definitely sounds like an earth fault. You're sure there's no corrosion on the cluster connections? If you suspect the brake lights, can't you stick the standard bulbs back in to check?

    PH1 front end on PH2. Yes or No?

    It's possible to swap the front ends, but there's some fabrication work needed to do it. IIRC some of the cup racers got Ph2 front ends grafted on when Renault made the facelift, to save buying a new car. What do you want the Ph2 element for? It's easier to get a Ph1 and put a Ph2 interior in...

    I really want a Rift, but not at that price! LFS with a rift is amazing.

    The Fatty's KTEC alternative induction setup that works just as well!

    Undecided. Sounds better, but not as throaty as I was expecting. No detectable alteration in performance.
