    New Member 47 years old but my clio 172 makes me feel 27 lol

    Welcome aboard! I got my 182 at the age of 29 years. I'm now 44 and still use it daily. You'll have plenty of years left in it, if you look after it.

    What Model Do You Own >New 2016 Poll<

    Interesting stats - more so that the Mk2 RS Clios make up over two thirds of the ownership on here. There are many variables to what could be said about that - including overall cost of purchase for a newer RS - obviously the 1*2s are generally quite cheap to pick up these days. But more of an...

    DAB aerial and phone mic placement?

    That went a lot more smoothly than I thought. The trim tools finally got to be used after owning them for about two years and made an easy-ish job, even more ridiculously straight-forward. I just took my time with it - and with a torch peering down the open gap at the top of the A-pillar...

    Connect2 182 wiring fixing ideas ?

    ^^^ - This - definitely. Especially if/when you manage to get a longer lead (anyone with a bit of patience and wiring ability can do it) - then get yourself something like the below... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0034BCU2S/?tag=cliospnet01-21 They are an absolute god-send and make passing the...

    The Division 2

    That in a nutshell is why I much prefer PvE games than PvP and certainly Battle Royale game types. Players come an go to help with the objective - not because they've spent £££ on micro-transactions to stomp and rape through waves of newcomers to the game. PvE games tend to better also, for...

    The Division 2

    Definitely will try the open beta. The original was certainly a Marmite game - I know people who loved it and others (like myself) who quickly fell out of favour with it. The No.1 issue for me was the bullet-sponge aspect, overlaying a game that was based on a lot of plausibility in an...

    APEX Legends

    I tend to stay away from the battle royale type games. You either steam-roller the opposition with them all being n00bs - or get utterly rinsed by those who can afford to spend 28 hours per day on it. Either way - just frustrating! :)

    DAB aerial and phone mic placement?

    How did you find running the mic cable on the driver's side A-pillar? I've got a couple of cable rods to help me poke things through various sections - but the drivers side sounds messy? Anything I should be wary of in removing A-pillar trim? Cheers.

    Nismo juke RS winter detail

    It says 'Nismo' when I can think of pretty much any other Nissan that would be more deserving of the badge. Aside from a Qashcow, of course! It's like Nissan's marketing dept. has been able to raid the trademark bin with impunity. Imagine an Aston Martin Cygnet being labelled as a DB5 or...

    Replacement sound system

    Well, having hijacked this thread good and proper (sorry OP!) - I bought the following items. Pioneer MVH-X580DAB head unit (with DAB aerial) - https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/pioneer-mvh-x580dab-mechless-bluetooth-usb-car-stereo-dab-ipod-iphone-android-aerial.html?search=MVH-X580DAB Aerial...

    DAB aerial and phone mic placement?

    Great suggestion there - trialing it before fixing it in place! My wife's car has an integrated DAB system with the aerial stuck on the windscreen next to the A-pillar, straight from the factory. I guess placement of such things are much easier before the dash is fitted in place. I'll be having...

    DAB aerial and phone mic placement?

    Hi all, So, I've just fitted a Pioneer unit to my car and will be running the DAB aerial and the phone mic this weekend to somewhere in the cockpit. I was thinking of having the DAB antenna on the glass, next to the passenger side A-pillar - though I'm not sure at all of where to run the mic...

    Looks like my bean got written off this aft :(

    If the car is getting rear end work done (and potentially paid out for?) - how's your petrol filler cap area? Is that rust and bubble free at the minute?

    Why members don’t attend meets?

    I’d happily be labelled as a ‘nut job’ by the neighbours with that standard of garage to access!

    Have a meet all to yourself. You've got enough cars! :P

    Replacement sound system

    @Goodj - just a little unsure of the stalk adapter bit. The DS-RN003 below looks to match the cabling ports on the rear of the Cabasse Auditorium better than the DS-RN005. It also mentions in the supported car list, the Clio between 2000-2005, which clearly the 182 falls into...

    Who’s the oldest

    Nice to see that I've got a number of years left yet, it seems! Same as @BaileyWolves at 44 myself.

    @steven.tul.197 - did you start off at the Shegra end? If you squint hard enough - you can just make out our Clios in the picture... :)

    Engine bay and parts cleaner?

    I've always wanted to respray the engine bay of mine if the lump was dropped out. Maybe I'm just a little weird in that respect - but there must be a lot of crap in certain areas of that bay after fourteen years....

    [Next Gen/PC] GTA V

    The bane of the superior input method! :) The problem with cross platform games is that they are invariably engineered to accommodate pad controls - to comply with the masses and all that. As such, elements like yoke inputs for flying and subtle changes in direction for a cars' steering are...

    sunday run out to the west of scotland

    Epic, epic roads up there. Did you end up anywhere near Applecross @steven.tul.197 ? Probably my favourite overall picture from being up there - just such an enjoyable drive where you can push both yourself and the car without fear of side-swiping oncoming traffic...

    M6 northbound, Saturday afternoon (9th Feb) - black track 1*2 on a trailer

    We drove past it on the inside lane - the Clio sat on a trailer facing backwards. No headlight units in it, but it clearly had a cage inside. Pretty sure it was a 172, due to the door badging, though I didn't see the rear.

    Excel help - ideally before I resort to Hulk Smash and murder...

    First off - MASSIVE kudos to those poor victims of modern society who sit in Excel on a daily basis. I think I would prefer to chew on house-bricks than to spend any length of time trying to work out and at least begin to comprehend the logic used in formulas. I'm pretty sure that there's a...

    197 Turbo

    I'd HAVE to got for a spoiler on these - the rear just looks too fat and bland without one!

    Remap Complete on the mk1

    Looks great! Superb power-to-weight on that. Aren't standard 182's around 148lb/ft as a comparison?
