    Coilovers Back to Springs?

    Yeah just switched back to cup dampers and springs from ASTs. Lovely and smooth. I enjoy driving it again.

    Car Cover

    The first generation weren’t good as they became brittle after a year and easily ripped in high winds. These second generation ones are really good. Had them for years. No scratches on any of my cars.

    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    If you have the space and it’s not burning a hole in your wallet, I’d hang on to it. Not for the “ThEse ARe GuNNeR be WuRTh a FoRtuNe” in 10 years reasons/debate, but for the memories, the nostalgia, the sheer bloody mindedness that the cars of tomorrow are going to be soulless and devoid of...

    Car Cover

    As Advikaz has said, soft lining. You might have seen the paintwork on my RB? Not a scratch. In fact inside the boot of my Clio, the one covered over, is a really expensive car cover 😂 They’re very heavy duty. I cover mine in summer as well just to keep the sun off it. The good thing about the...

    Car Cover

    The later ones (like yours) are really good. The earlier ones used to harden and tear after a few years.

    Car Cover

    Halfords all season (small) for Clios. Mine sit out all winter and summer. Stick in a few dehumidifiers off Amazon and it’ll be dry as a bone in the spring. They have 3 straps for under the car. They can withstand some serious winds.

    Brake Cooling - How much difference?

    Yeah, you tend to see them more on proper circuit cars, because as you say, they serve a purpose. When they arrive I'm whipping them into the body shop at work and they're going to see if they can integrate them into the bumper. Then I'll get the whole bumper repainted, including vents, so it...

    ‘Bonnie Blue’ The RB 182

    The 16" Turinis make a huge difference on the RB, especially in factory Anthracite or Silver. It's subjective of course, but the only wheels I think look better are the original TD Pro Race 1.2s or Evo Corse X3MA 15" but you've got to lower the car to fully appreciate them. And then ruin how...

    Arctic blue 182 overhaul

    That picture is Racing Blue with a filter on it. If the opportunity arose to change the colour on a 182, I’d go White 💯 The Black splitter, fog lamp surrounds, Silver door bullets, the red in the rear lamps, any wheel colour, all stand out against a White base. I’m sure you’re keeping it long...

    ‘Bonnie Blue’ The RB 182

    It’s been a well discussed topic. Frayz had a few solutions, see thread here https://cliosport.net/threads/pms-shifter-mods-to-ease-the-rattle.838868/#post-12116815 Looks a nice car. Congratulations. Welcome to the RB club 😊

    Where's the go to place for 172/182 injectors these days?

    I got mine for the 182 from my Renault dealer. They were on back order but arrived after 3 weeks. Only worked out £42 each for genuine parts (I get discount through work). If you’re not in a rush, drop me a DM with what you want and I’ll get a price and ETA for you. I’ve also had fakes off...

    Restoring Little Bluey - my 182 FF ClioSport in Racing Blue

    Put a shift in today getting everything back to factory on the RB. ASTs off, Recaros out, DS1.11s boxed up. And gave everything a proper check over, tidy up and a good coating of ACF50. And it’s staying that way. Took her for a spin and it’s so comfortable and compliant. I love it! When I...

    Brake Cooling - How much difference?

    There are some really smart brake duct solutions out there, especially for road going cars that do a few track days. I always fancied the K-Tec racing ducts so mocked some up on the track car. They’re definitely ugly but will do the job. The current theme of the car is Black with Yellow cage...

    New member looking considering a 1*2 as a daily

    Do you think it would have helped? There are so many areas where water and crap can get in, I'm surprised they don't rot sooner.

    Show me your ‘Clubsport’ spec 1*2’s

    Now I know what a "Clubsport' spec is, some of the best ones I've seen on here would be @Ash J s 182 Trophy - https://cliosport.net/threads/ash%E2%80%99s-clio-182-trophy.830295/page-5#post-11961053 or @frayz Flamer - https://cliosport.net/threads/frayzs-inferno-182-back-in-the-old-flame.570244/

    LSD options

    If you're racing get a gripper - more a necessity if your competitor has one - but an LSD is more than good enough for general track days. I've only ever had a Quaife diff but I would definitely try a Blackline, should i need one, especially based on the positive feedback

    Show me your ‘Clubsport’ spec 1*2’s

    Sounds promising. There's definitely something about these little cars which is addictive. I'm putting my RB back to the factory spec - removing the Recaros and ASTs - now I've acquired the track car. I could certainly advise on not what to do, but part of the fun is getting stuck in...

    Toss new Clio ad

    Electric cars will undergo a transformative evolution, much like petrol cars have. The IONIQ 5 N electric looks like a promising start. Mass adoption of EVs is still a distant prospect, so still plenty of time to enjoy traditional hatchbacks if that's your preference. Personally, I enjoy...
