    Gear knob

    is it a phase 2. If so then they just have to be ripped off. There are pressed onto a knurled surface. You usually destroy them getting off. I had to use some mole grips to brutally remove it...

    clio 172 cup or 182 supercharged how fast?

    I really want to supercharge mine. I've heard figures of roughly 250bhp. Probably knock a second of your 0-60 I would guess.

    Painting Engine

    its as good as I can get it with the time available. Longer term I want to change the coolant hoses for some forge blue ones and replace the coolant bottle while its being done. Just down to time and money at the moment..

    Painting Engine

    take it all off to paint, sooo much easier. Couple of connectors to take off. One on the coils pack, one each side of the upper inlet. One on the throttle body. Engine cover off if you have one. 4x10mm bolts to remove coil pack from the upper inlet. 4x10mmm bolts to remove upper inlet, might be...

    Smashed Trophy @ Castle Combe (no 299)

    holy s#*t. Gutted for the owner. Went out in style I suppose, no consolation.

    Can someone suggest a meet place venue within 30 miles of Bristol ?

    definitely think a south west meet is overdue. I see loads of RS clios around Bristol, there must be a fair few on here. Portishead is good place. Close to m5 and easy to get to. Just need to organise a time and date before the crap weather comes in.

    Timmo's 172 Cup

    Nice Cup mate. You gonna paint the inlet and fuel rail protector? Did the car come without the engine cover or have you removed it?

    Jamesy's Cup

    Cheers. Funny how a year on it looked so cheap and dated. Can't beat good ol black, timeless.

    Jamesy's Cup

    Not done much over the summer. Did some engine bay work. Passed the MOT. Fitted some 172 door cards. Resprayed the blue interior detailing gloss black including speaker covers. Converted the speedo LED's to white from the crappy orange. Fitted a new rear plate cover and LED bulb. Tried some faux...

    What have you done to your car today ???

    cheers. Wheel was £80 and knob was £25. Boss came with the car so saved £50. I do have a cheap mountney corsa d shape wheel for sale I interested! £20. Bought as a toe in the water before getting the omp. Its a bit flexy but miles better than a standard melty wheel.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Black Badges

    painted mine. Front diamond must pops off with gentle prising. There rear one requires the boot handle to come off to do it properly but its only 3 x10 mm nuts to undo and unhook the boot release.

    Newbie to RS Clio 172 cup- advice on car

    Blimey that sounds dog rough. Belts and de phaser time I think. There's better examples out there ready to drive away I'm sure. £800 is cheap but add another couple of hundred and you'll find one in much better nick I reckon.

    Coil Pack going? - Flashing ECU light, hesitant, sounds like 3 cylinders, high idle revs

    sounds like a problem I had. The easiest way to check is to remove one ht lead at a time with the engine running. You'll see the spark bridge the gap. If their is a spark missing then its the coil pack.

    3/4 number plate

    Clio 172 cup or 182...will it work?

    I use my cup as a daily. 14 miles each way 3 or 4 times a week. Makes driving to work fun, especially at 5am when the roads are nice and quiet. As with any car irrelevant of brand you get good ones and bad ones. At least a Clio is fairly cheap to fix compared to most brands. Should be able...

    my 172 then & now (newbie)

    looks stunning. Love the diamond nice and unique. Glad the trophy decals have gone, don't look right on the rs clios imo.
