Hmm wow thanks for this, learn something every day I guess.. I'd never even noticed!...

Ahh, yes ... it was ;)

Hey!... I think I saw your car in the workshop when I picked mine up... is it lowered with black/dark alloys? (just from memory)... well mine made 220bhp on the rollers.. but my standard/crappy exhaust is causing a loss of power which I'm about to sort asap... even with 220 though it's awesome...

Ahh forget it.. Track it down. From anywhere If an item goes missing, TrackR's Crowd GPS network will help you find it. When another user of the TrackR app comes within 100ft range of your lost item, you will receive a GPS update of where your item is. What a load of sh*t.....

Anyone seen these before?... just seen an advert on FB for it.. looks interesting.. tempted to stick one under the carpet of my car... http://nuttsa.com/trackr-car/...

Oooh, yeah I see now - thanks for this I was not aware.. so the black on the bumper - this is a sticker?.. or painted black... I'll be sure to add this to the list of jobs.. and yeah, orange side repeaters and bulbs too... it's going back original... I like your car also... phase 1 all the way!! ;)

:)... car is currently de-cat.. I just need a new centre section and back box... Curious as to what the black stickers are though.. hadn't noticed that.. and can't see any difference looking at library photos... I did have the option of a black intercooler, but opted for a silver one only to...

Ok here we go... So engine converted with the following spec, work undertaken by clioturbo: Garret GT2554 turbo, cast manifold, megane 225 injectors, front mount intercooler, airfilter EFI ECU Module running 8psi Stainless steel downpipe / decat New valeo clutch kit Aircon delete kit / new...

Nice, phase1's are awesome cars... deffo worth spending some ££ to keep it in good condition.. future classics I reckon.

Yep, I'm booked in July.. doing the same and getting a new Vaelo clutch, engine mounts, new cambelt and a few other bits and pieces... can't wait... just had an insurance quote back with the turbo on for £320 fully comp... all good.

No it's booked in with Andy @ Clioturbo... I wanted to do it myself, I spent many years rebuilding 5 turbos and love doing my own work, but for this one I've decided to get it done by someone who is experienced.. I want something solid that will serve as my daily driver... This was my last...

Hi @Robclio98, Thank you, it will be an Adaptronic ECU, I have selected Clioturbo's stage 1 low boost kit as my turbo kit... I had to do this on a budget of about £3k, so barring an engine rebuild, new pistons, etc this works out within budget... and I think 240bhp should be plenty fast enough...

Ok so here goes my first ever project blog... to give a bit of a background on me, my previous interests, etc.. and how I've come to this.. my latest. So having grew up with Renault 5 turbos in my garage from the age of 18... I owned 3 in total over a 12 year period.. my last one sold in 2010...

cheers... I just went with these.. seemed good for the price and inc. free delivery...

I need to replace rear shockers due to MOT failure (leaking shocker).... Should I go genuine Renault? (Not bothered about a performance shocker as such)... or are the aftermarket ones any good?.. so far I've seen stuff on eBay like this...

Just put on a set of 4 Michelin ps3's for £203 fitted at Halfords... guy in there told me it had cost them £200 from Michelin and they were making £3 profit and must have been a misprice online?... Checked today and they're up to £57 a corner.

20??? what u doing with all those? Any idea where I can get some renault badged centre caps from?

So the original set of F1s on my ph1 are 7" width.. yet a spare set I recently bought are marked 6.5..(using these for winter)... Anyone know why the sizes would be different? Is it because they were bought aftermarket perhaps? They dont have renault centrecaps either, rather Oz ones.... And...

Anyone here?...

When are yous next going? I could quite fancy this after watching the vid too!... Newcastle here.

Yeah, I've gone OE for the belt kit.... Just unsure on the rad, as there's like £100 difference to go OE .....

I'm about to change my radiator... I'm looking at maybe http://www.adrad.co.uk/prices/prices.php?id=RT419&model=CLIO&make=RENAULT £53 delivered... Yes or No? Go with genuine Renault? Also about to get an aux belt kit too... where's a good place to buy all this from.

172 Cup - CK03 CKY ... CK03CKY .... I bought this new in 2003.

Still got my Ph1 W919 XLC... bought it in 2012 and it's been solid and amazing!! Gone from 72k to 98k now without a hitch.

I'm considering a turbo conversion on my 172... I did a quick quote on a comparison site and was getting £380/year fully comp with the turbo mods declared.. what's other people paying?.. that was with Performance Direct.. For comparison I pay £180/year currently for a standard ph1 172.. (36...

Hi All, So got my car MOTd at Kwikfit (yeah I know!).. but it was Sunday, etc.. Anyway, my mid section has some small holes in, and the backbox (2yrs old from Eurocarparts) is falling to bits already.. so ideally I'm gonna replace the mid section and backbox. Kwikfit quoted £296 fitted...

Ok, so I'm losing coolant and I've found coolant dripping from the bottom of my radiator.. How easy is it to replace the radiator, and also where do I bleed the system?... I had a look in search / guides but can't see anything specific to changing a rad... Thanks!

When I turn the steering wheel on full lock (when not moving), I get a snapping/clanking sound.. I've traced this to coming from the suspension unit on the drivers side... What is the fault, and how easy to fix?... I think it's coming from the top mount.. I take it it's worn out or so...

Hi Everyone, There is a droning sound coming from the back end of my car which seems to get worse with speed.. am I right in thinking the rear disks have the bearings as part of them, so if I just go to EuroCarParts and buy some new rear disks/pads it's a fairly simple operation to have them...

Does your car rough idle much?... I had recent emissions failure on MOT.. computer diagnostics was saying CO2 sensor.. anyway to cut a long story short I changed the upstream lambda sensor and it passed no problem.. also seemed to smooth out the rough idling I had previously.
