Currently preparing my 172 Ph1 Clio for entering in the Scottish sprints this year, along with the odd hillclimb and trackday (particularly Knockhill and Superlap Scotland) Will be using it on the road also, although wont be my main car.
Going through my possible tyres choices and looking to see...
Depends what end of the industry your in and how risky or oil price / weather dependant it is. Some guys only get work in summer months and on projects etc. Others when companies are willing to spend millions on drilling programmes.
By losing your retention im guessing you were adhoc anyway...
Only ever used Tesco Momentum or Shell V Power
Iv only used Tesco Momentum or Shell V Power in my cars / the wifes (unless a 1.0 / 1.2 which was just her first car)
Golf R32, Integra Type R, Twingo RS and a Ph1 172
When searching the cobra x low subframes dont seem to appear, are they no longer made or limited suppliers?
I see what you mean with the frame, basically the clio one is flat on the floor and isnt offset / raised at one side
Currently researching what I'll need to purchase to fit my Mirco bucket seats.
Been talking to GSM with regards to frames etc and wondered what peoples opinions on here were with the various optuions, if they have past experience with them.
Basically looking at Cobra lowered subframe and side...
Trying to cure a misfire. New plugs fitted along with leads as old ones were found to be crushed / melted in parts. Still no joy so on to injectors next
Heres a quick pic from when I got it home. Will get more and a proper thread started.
Spec that I can see so far is :
Spax front shocks
Eibach camber bolts
Koni rear shocks
Whiteline RARB
Ktec exhaust
Uprated discs of some sort and possibly pads
Years MOT and a recent rebuild 18k ago.
Welcome! Ever thought about entering the local sprints and hillclimbs?
Where was this one advertised? Just asking as Iv been browsing various classifieds for a hillclimb / sprint project and maybe came across it.
Well not so much new as Iv been registered for a few years but a new clio owner using the site now.
Just bought myself a Ph1 172 for a sprint and hillclimb project. I'll get a project thread started when I get cracking with the work. Car was bought up here but is originally from down near...
Are all mounts between the different models the same or is there differences?
I have a Ph1 172 and wondered if a dogbone mount and vibratechnics engine mount from a 2004 182 would fit.
Thanks
Been searching all morning and read quite a few threads and have tried to locate the heater resistor
Iv saw various pics, and where there is a plug on the right hand side there just seems to be a blank spot? Car in question is a 2001 clio 1.5 dci (no air con or climate control)
The main plug...
Problem still happens, mainly when overtaking and thrashing it
Tried a tub of injector cleaner in the tank, also changed oil and air filters as it hadnt been done for a while
Had it on Renault diagnostics, and they said there was a fault with the glow plug circuit and to change the gow plugs...
EGR valve removed and cleaned, refitted and car still loses power at 70mph or 3k
Got fed up with it cutting out, so kept it flat out and it got power back but then lost it again.
ALso had new alternator fitted yesterday as the pulley sheared
Away to take it out a proper thrash soon, couldve...
Hi, my clio dci has recently been feeling really sluggish, and often when near 3k rpm the glow plug light comes on and car loses power and you have to back off.
Car still starts fine, I thought if the glow plugs were faulty then first symptom would be poor starting?
Going to try some red x in...
