buy a 172!! not worth the hastle of converting it!! youll spend more than the cost of a 172 and be left with a car thats worthless!! and it still wont have the looks/equiptment of a 172. all the interior will be a straight swap from your current clio. also will be a bit of a pig to insure!!

Ill echo what everyone else has said, sleeves are not far enough out. The amount of exposed bush left out with allow for a certain amount of deformation due to the material. More rubber / less metal, more movement. More movement means chewed up bushes!! also (and im surpised nobody else has...

lighter more compact?? same connection??

Sorry to steer this off topic slightly. does the cup have a slightly different blower unit?? as im building my track car and want to keep a heater, but idealy id like to cut down on the contents of the scuttle without loosing the blower!! but it looks like the blower is built into the recirc...

great digging skills if this is actually the car, proof that you cant run from the internet!! also a bit odd that theyve listed the car as a 2010 car when i dont even think the 197s were made that year, clearly not that clued up on renaults. has anyone thought of contacting the seller of the...

Re: yokohama parada??? any gd try and get some rain sport 2's, great tyre! i ran pradas on my mk1 and i found them to very good in the dry!! never really pushed it in the wet so i couldnt comment, but for the price theyre a good tyre!! miles better than the proxies imo

any rear axle will fit, But the anti roll bar in the non-sport rear beams is a lot thiner and will therefore compromise the handling!! ph1 172, ph2 172, cup will all have the same rear beam iirc, (23mm sway bar) non-sports have something like a 17mm sway bar, and the bars are welded in and...

definatley not vibe, what are the actual models of sub, that makes a big difference as alpines range varies from very good to absolute b0ll0x!! lol what amp are you using to run the sub and what is the power output figures, what size box are you installing it all in? you havnt been very...

i could sell you a new airbag ECU for £20 posted ;) go to a strap yard for the seat and hope to find one thats not gone off. all the safety equiptment is not designed to be actived more than once so personally id pick up new pretensioners, seatbelts if you want to retain the safety features of...

youre looking at an afternoons work to change all that stuff over TOPS, and the only money you'd have to fork out is for the tints. im not sure what you mean by what you said about the third option, but if its a good respray guarentee youll spend more than the car will be worth when it rolls...

Sell it and buy another one!! dont pour money into a 1.2, youll never see a penny of it again!! im not sure how the hell you justify that itll put you £1200 out of pocket to change before buying standard parts?! the only mods i can see on it are those wheels, which tbh, i wouldnt take over if i...

The valver The 172

haha cheers dude, ye i decieded that this one was going to be a bit tidier!! ive just ordered a new top dash from a poverty spec clio so the dash is going to be completely finished. however im moved back to university now so no more work is going to be happening until the summer months!! :(

as long as its not a show cage id defs take it for that price!! you can always sell it on if you change your mind!! personally i love cages, they make a car look so purposeful! if you're using it as a harness bar, please make sure its a suitable cage and mounted correctly!! it will hike your...

welcome to CS, previous cars look very nice!!

i found the pic advising against having them this way around when i looked online after you said it!! :( but if its ok for the audi R8 gt car, then im sure itll be fine on mine!! :D ph1s are where its at, i always liked the ph-quick sticker on them!! lol dmallett, defs specsavers time ;) im...

in order of likely hood id say most likely plug coil pack less likely injector wiring injector HT lead even less likely (but still possible) Piston rings - smoke Headgasket - smoke/mayo first find the affected cylinder, unplug ht leads until its clear which cylinder is misfiring (DO NOT...

finance :/ personally id never go for finance, especially on a mod, youll end up paying it back for longer than you have/want the car for!! if you cant afford it, dont buy it!! save and get these...

pushing the boat out arnt you?! why go for such high performance stuff on a 1.2?? sell your 1.2, add that coilover money and you have 172 money right there!! i think the rokkor kits are perfect for the 1.2s, yes theyre cheap, and yes theyre not going to make the handling amazing, but for 1.2...

ouch, sounds expensive!! but as said, finding another engine will be cheaper than rebuilding yours!! if youre lucky youll be able to find a bare 1*2 engine with a recent belt change for not very much and away you go! :) or theres a bottom end on the bay for £50 if you can change the head...

First car i got off my mum, so no complaints there!! Second clio, (mk1 F7R valver) was a complete heap tbh. Was told it had koni shocks - didnt was told it had a paddle clutch - didnt was told it had yokos all round - didnt water leak had been fixed by glueing some rubber over a big hole -...

i want my dash flocked so badly!! how much did the flocking set you back?? and who did it for you??

as scrooge says, its probs not a part listed for a specific vehicle, just a generic part theyll have off the shelf!! failing that, just go to a scrappie and take one?! lol

i tried them without centre to begin with!! wasnt a fan tbh. and as for the catches, there was nothing in my instructions stating that they had to be the other way round, and i can find plenty of examples of them mounted in this fassion on race cars, even one in the aerocatch home page banner...

if the misfire is bad it might ruin your car if you keep driving it, itll be dumping unburnt fuel into it!! coilpack is the box that all the HT leads go to that sends a spark to the plug at the correct time!! they go wrong quite a bit and easy to replace. might also be the plugs, my old clio...

i think they look awesome tbh, i need to tighten mine up as the ring rattles with the exhaust note! lol
