original engine? How many miles they good for.....

I have a phase 2 172 cat on it , single pipe Thought about a proper map, but the engines done just on 100k and with a tuner, if the engine struggles could revert to OEM? Have a RAMair filter, S pipe 76mm hose to throttle body. Coilovers or shocks n new springs not a bad idea, but it does...

As I have a Phase 1 Clio 172 Y reg for a track toy, Ive decided I can spend a Grand (£1k) ish a year on playing around with it, and where possible include track time of half dozen shows and track days a year The budget was pretty much blown this year for the belts, dephaser etc etc which came...

Ask a stupid question. LOL.

A long time since we went camping, the Mrs and I - about 10 years (West of France, rained all the time and we hated it LOL) We're staying the Saturday night at Blyton for the music- looking forward to it Weve got a tent, which we are gonna check out and put up in back garden over the weekend...

All well and good to have have tyres for track only, but if you only have one set wheels the taking on/off all the time becomes a pain, if the car is for road use too Most people drive the cars to the track, a fair few trailer them, but most drive to track that Ive seen I have 2 sets wheels...

I got the advice from a pro driver who was at and knows lydden well, as its only a mile circuit very twisty and turny, and a 180 degree turn I started at about 26psi, and obvs that kept going up, I tried 23psi and the grip was fabulous, so kept it at 23psi. Only at the end of the day I saw that...

well. uneven wear lets put it that way, meaning it wasn't road legal Let the pressures down real low as advised, had a fabulous day at Lydden, pretty much took everything in site. And fooked the tyres. LOL More careful now- thought they were 6mm

Goodstuff. Its not a competition. LOL Sposed to help each other out in a Club But enjoy your tyres, careful when using the track. I totalled a new AD08r in a day, and the other side was much better (Running about 23psi)

Actually, I never saw them AD08's, they just told me they had ordered the wrong tyres, and that only 1 AD08R in the country Thinking about it, they may never had had them. I never asked to see the AD08's They saw they made a mistake with the pricing (got the single AD08R for about £46 fitted)...

They may not make them, but quickfit wanted to give me 4 mid last year, after I had ordered 4 AD08r's They then had to honour the price for AD08R's (Which were detailed on the invoice) but only had 1 left in the country.... (Yeah, I thought that) So I had the single AD08r a few days later, and...

some people have money to buuuuuuuurn

you've had a result if you got them for £40 a corner. Cant get them less than £75 fitted myself. (New)

AD08 or AD08R's? Different tyres

AD08R's are better Edit- See they are AD08r's :-) Wowzer- fabulous price. They quoted me £80 each a years ago

Had my little Clio 172 phase 1 for 22 months and still love the little jet powered roller skate It has thrown up some noises which I couldn't pin down until: 1. You unload everything from the car 2. undo the last job you did My last 2 that have been bugging me for a week or two, was a constant...

Hard luck OP Baz Ive heard of belts lasting 120k + and 10 years Just had mine done on a 2001 Y reg, wont be getting done again. Hoping it to last well past 5 years, cos it wont go anywhere nr 72k

Can I ask did you buy used tuner, or new? Seems for £190 ish you get a new tuner and all the standard upgraded maps (And the back up from who sells u the tuner, with 12 months guarantee I would hope)

You track it hsustyle? Looking at Lydden Hill mid September, and mid October, sessioned day £120 if you fancy it

dont think they look too bad tbh. Was offered a set (naff condition) a while back but didn't like the look of them even for track Quite like them on the Black Clio- certainly different to Oz F1s and the Dynamique's

Your lucky- last owner of my house converted the garage into a bedroom! I converted into a sports room (Big TV with SKY/BT footie) Thats why I am looking for a decent car cover LOL

Ourageous- a car of such magnificence should have a nice cosy warm garage....

Thread revival I know- but probably beyond me replacing top and bottom, so whats sort of price should I be looking at getting someone else to do it?

Bought mine for £550 getting on 2 years ago. Spent about £1500 in first 9 months including 2 Corbeau bucket seats and half cage Just got Clioman to do the belts dephaser etc for £600. So they are good for another 5 years Given up tracking the bits and pieces i buy and add on, as its a hobby...

Great. Well that might be the one for £115. Not really the paintwork i am protecting as its pants, its trying to stop water getting all around the bodywork, underside and gaps, all winter

Did you have the straps that went underneath, and did the cover stay in place when there was a right hoolie?

try groupon recharge air con gas, and if theres a leak, they give you your money back That's what I did, and mine had a leak :- (Phew- isn't it hot LOL)

I have both You can cut very carefully the engine cover toward the back, then self tap a small metal bar to secure either end together, and it looks pretty good- well, for me anyway Otherwise: STRUT

Looks like this one is tailored to fit at just over £100 But would still like to know someone who owns one https://www.carscovers.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-CAR-COVER-1998-2005-MK2.html (The MONSOON one is the one I am looking at)

Thanks- £209 to £409 Wow, fraid my budget is £100
