    Best fast road tyre in size 205/45/16

    I really didn't like the last set of PS3's I had, ended up selling them, and replacing with AD08RS's. I'd used AD08R's about 5 or 6 times previously on the various 182's I've owned over the years and believe these to be the best tyre for the road in terms of grip in both dry and wet, plus the...

    Power Tool Perverts

    I've got one of these that I need to list for sale, pretty much as new really, including battery, charger, and starter set sockets etc.

    New purchase

    I had a solid red light on mine earlier in the year. I spent ages trying to figure out what the issue was, in the end I took it to a specialist who found the problem almost straight away. It was a damaged wiring in the loom connected to the ECU, it had somehow had the outer cover damaged and...

    Catalytic converter prices

    Has anyone sold a 182 cat recently? I've got two in the garage, but when I checked prices a few weeks ago, got offered £300 each. When I sold one earlier in the year I got £440 from memory.

    The New Phone Thread

    Need to order before the 27th to get the headphone deal I believe, so don't leave it too long. If the Pro wasn't a larger screen, I'd have just ordered the standard Pixel to be honest, but I watch a lot of videos on it, so wanted the larger screen for that mainly.

    The New Phone Thread

    Me and the wife ordered pixel 6 pro's yesterday. She's coming from a Pixel 5 and I've got a OnePlus Nord. Both fairly happy with our current phones, but have been waiting for the Pixel to be released for a good few months. My wife actually bought a S21 Ultra direct from Samsung a while ago and...

    Whats seats ?? 🤔🤔

    When i tried seats at GSM the sebelt's fitted me quite well and was comfy. But I preferred the Mirco seats. Can't remember which ones they were now as it was a few years ago. However, the car I've got now has Mirco RS2's and they extremely comfy and fit me perfectly. I'm a 36" waist and...

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    I sold my RB cup a few months ago for £5750 on 112k. Honestly I couldn't imagine paying that kind of money for a mk2 Clio (at least in 2021), but seems like I may have under sold it slightly looking on the forum. I really don't see the appeal of buying cars like these as investments, by the...

    Powerflex…is this normal?

    I had to cut mine down to fit them, but I trimmed the outer side down by a couple of mm (At least), and it was still a very tight fit. Not a job i'd want to do again any time soon, along with the powerflex power steering rack bushes.

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    I can't say a V6 is a car I've ever been that interested in to be honest. Nor in a position to afford or justify buying one.

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    Just looked quickly found a bargain V6. Just under £40k. Oh well. Can definitely get a trophy for £15k. You can get a good trophy for £15k right?

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    Really, I've not looked for a while obviously. Thought they could be had for £20k.

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    With 27k miles on it, if it's mint I'm sure it'll easy go for 5 figures, if not the full asking price to someone looking to put it into a collection. Personally, I'd rather put that money into a Trophy though. or even stretch to a V6. Actually if I had £15k to put into a car as an investment...

    K20 powered 172

    Cheers mate, yeah I wasn't expecting it to be easy to move, even fully stripped a Clio is going to be around 950kg, just that it's manageable for a single person. It's a new garage with a concrete floor, though I've not looked at the finish yet, as it's got rubber matting down from when i used...

    K20 powered 172

    Are they the SGS Dollies? I'm in the process of sorting my garage to make room for my new Clio, and was looking at these. Figured it'd make it easier to move the car up tight against the wall when it's just in storage, and pull into the middle of the garage when working on it. My garage is only...

    Alternative to TD pro race thats actually available.

    I think the eBay code finished last week. It was 20% off up to a max of £75. So we're just under £400

    Alternative to TD pro race thats actually available.

    Demon tweeks seems to have pro race 1.2's in stock at the minute (only in black though). and they were 20% off on there eBay store last week, making them under £400 for a full set.

    Jodie Marsh's 182

    It's £3k on one of the Clio selling pages on facebook, if anyone actually fancies it.

    Cheap Ebay washer blanks

    I prefer the little round plastic ones that cost about £3. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265098328543?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338722076&toolid=10001 Didn't bother with the carbon wrap though

    Bosch VS Renault rear abs sensor

    I'm pretty sure Stark are there own brand, and they will typically send out the Stark in place of the ordered item if it's out of stock from what I've seen online. Not seen anything bad about them that i can recall though. Just annoying that they don't tell you before hand and it's a surprise...

    Rota TFS3

    They're basically a copy of the Enkei rpf1 wheel. Ultralite do a set too, if you search these, you'll find a few examples. Post #3614 https://cliosport.net/threads/the-ph1-172-appreciation-thread.393465/page-91 https://cliosport.net/threads/ultralight-f1-alloys.801518/

    182 Tyre Recommendations

    To be honest the 16 inch tyre was from about 6 years ago on a different Clio, but you could definitely feel the instability in the tyres. I can't remember what tyres I had on prior to swapping now, but swapped wheels and tyres due to getting some new wheels, and whilst the grip was better with...

    182 Tyre Recommendations

    Well they we're 195/50/15. However, I've had PS3 in 205/45/16 previously and even though the sidewalls were slightly smaller, they were still soft and unstable feeling for me.

    182 Tyre Recommendations

    I ditched a set of pilot sport 3 with about 4 to 5mm of tread left as I thought they were rubbish. Far too soft in the sidewalls felt like the wheel was rolling over the tyre wall when pushing a little bit. I switched to a new set of AD08R's and was much happier. This was in the middle of winter...

    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    Reading the latest updates on here, makes me question whether I should keep my RB. Glad you're enjoying the Trophy again, with all the time and money invested in it over the years along with the pain, you deserve to get plenty of enjoyment from it. In terms of tyres, the best Michelin do is a...

    The New Phone Thread

    I've had my Nord for almost a years now, ordered pretty much as soon as it was released to replace my old Samsung Note 8. The only downside for me is that the camera isn't brilliant. It's not too bad, but my wife's Pixel 5 is so much better and that phone wasn't much more expensive (£379 vs...

    High flow catalytic converters

    Mine passed with a 200 cell magnaflow last year. The main issue that I can see is they don't seem to last very long, hence the 6 month warranty ktec do (last time i checked). Don't expect it to pass an mot in several years time basically.

    Toyota MR-S JDM £2300

    Would be pretty good, but to be fair I bet the 2zz MR2 is faster on track than a 3.0si coupe (assuming they don't have a LSD as standard)

    Toyota MR-S JDM £2300

    Yeah its an earlier 3.0i, so only 231bhp. But it's got some nice extras like M Sport seats, etc.
