That’s not normal. Not in any of the Clio’s I have owned can I say it’s done that.. have you tried another throttle body?

Hey all, Gavin has kindly sold me his phase 1 172. Super easy to deal with just how car sales should be Car is in great ship and drove well on the 160mile trip home last night to Bristol.. will give it a clean tomorrow and then planning to get the arches done over the winter, take the interior...

The napa alternators are meant to be rubbish and means the car doesn’t run well certainly under load. Worth changing for a second hand one. I did try one in my racecar and quickly binned it off

He’s retired unfortunately

This is awesome. I watched that auto Alex video and was like yes I want a Williams Clio and then saw loads which were worse than the titanic or the price of a 911, but lack the budget or know how of how to fix one Good luck with it and post lots of pics..

I use admiral for 4 cars and a van / they’ve been ok or ers is decent for fleet insurance with better cover and excesses for your vehicles Thanks

Thanks all, this is super helpful. I didn’t realise that it had been for sale for a year plus, that says quite a bit Also the non phase 1 parts aren’t ideal.. I think I will take a punt and buy a 200k one for cheap and fix it up from there.. at least I know what I am getting into. Thanks

Ah interesting - on Autotrader or elsewhere do you know?

Hi all, Found this phase 1 in my search for one and this seems a bargain in the current market. It’s had the sills, arches and belts done plus a respray http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202308070525046?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios-app Am I missing something or do you think as it’s...

Yep agree with this - get the Jon fonz mounts and the trendlines or similar.. Steering wheel is a good addition too and then get a nice exhaust on it and pound for pound you can beat them..

So here’s my view after and still owning a lot of Clio’s namely phase 1 172, 182’s, 197, 200 and then a 220 trophy In my view for a weekend and track toy a 182 is the best in my opinion. They feel and drive much better than a mk3 / noise and enjoyment from driving is better A mk3 is quicker...

Ok thanks. Standard is 5w-40 which is what I am using.. will have a read about Fuchs titan race.. Would the temperature at the weekend made much of a difference ?

Hi mate, I use Jerry cans all the time for my racing.. to save the hassle and make sure I run the exact fuel I want I just use a measuring jug like this… https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/b-g-racing-flexible-nozzle-fluid-pouring-jug-7001933/ Makes it much easier.

Hi all, I have a Clio 200 which i race in the Clio sport championship. They are basically standard cars with race pads, cage, spax dampers and a black line diff. Everything else is standard My car is a 53k motor and had arp Conrod bolts at the start of the season with the oil changed after...

I had this on my rear caliper.. in essence it needs a caliper rebuild. The cover is all twisted so won’t seal properly. Best to get a new caliper or rebuild it… Here’s what mine looked like

What an absolute cluster f…. Definitely be onto beanie sport until they get it fixed. That’s just poor unless there is a genuine reason it’s now drinking more oil which there isn’t…. For info - My 182 before it decided to explode the Conrods at snetterton mid quali never drank that much oil...

We race there in the 750mc and last year in my 182 which is basically a stripped out car with spax dampers (not great), ecu with a basic map on it, standard brakes except carbon Lorraine pads and 888r’s I did a 2:02.8 in Quali. Definitely more time in it and if we were on stickier tyres a 2:00...

Nice, that would be cool. Hot hatch series is good too

I had a rs192 on my old Clio and it was great. Really nice sound to it and not too loud. My wife drove it round town for 18months so definitely not too loud.. Doesn’t scorpion make the rs192? So customer service should be decent

Hey all, The vsg Clio championship starts back next weekend at Croft in North Yorkshire. It used to be called the k-tec championship but vsg are the main sponsors now Mixture of 182 / 197 and 200 cars all run to tightly controlled standards and parts Here’s the championship calendar If...

Stumbled across this v6 clio today. Get it is big miles but looks pretty well looked after Wonder what it will go for...

Back to this thread. Mine are battered / so does anyone have a list of parts i need so I can refresh them ?or a parts diagram? Thanks

Just pull the metal rod! It won’t break. The Clio pushes in

That’s actually a pretty good shout… Worth a trial runs thanks

Thanks mate I am planning to have my car with candy red wheels and fixings, so will give the end plates a test run with a wrap and see if it looks max power or better

@idub Sounds good mate Have you ever seen different coloured blades? As I am thinking that would look decent with different coloured bolts Any ideas what size the bolts are?

Here you go… Looks better than I thought. But still the blades version looks better.

I can take the side blades off mine on Thursday when I am at my lockup and share the pictures.. Not sure it will look good but happy to be a test dummy

I have a stack of other colours if you want to get it resprayed

Hi all, I am building up a 200 for the ktec championship next year So keen to put door cards in once I have stripped out all the electric window and regulator gubbins Has anyone made these yourself? And if so where did you get the plastic sheets from ideally carbon effect? Just trying to work...
