Because of the distance it needs to cover or other factors? For me I could plug the extender directly above the router on the landing as the router is n the lounge below then it’s about 10m max down the upstairs hallway (line of sight down the hall) to my office. And it just goes through the...

The wifi signal in my new office is a bit pants, furthest point away from the router and thick stone walls do not help. Need to get a wifi extender, although the ones on Amazon are a bit confusing https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CKXGTYYG/?tag=cliospnet01-21 All the negative reviews say they are...

Got the Clio to the new house. Driving it down the lane was questionable! Not really suited to a track focused car.... Now sat in it's new spot on my drive way, which is where it will stay until the spring. Couldn't ask for a better view for when tinkering on it! When the weather improves in...

I might have to keep an eye out for one of these but if they are rare probably be easier to get the one I initially found!

Second the PMS top mounts. I’ve had two 172’s with them and they do the job well. Easy to fit. Drill three holes in each mounting point for them. It if you want to use the PMS strut brace make sure you drill them the right orientation. And I think if you need a different option for them to...

yep this isn’t a rally car!! It’s just for that but extra protection driving around home. Ok, I’ll look at getting this one then.

Anyone know of a metal sump guard under tray that would fit a mk2 Clio? Was driving the Ph1 around the lanes my new place and it likes to bottom out and thought a metal one would help a bit more protection. It doesn’t help that the standard plastic one I have is damaged on the back edge and it...

So should have bought one instead of my second Ph1 172 and 1.8VVC is.

Did notice there was a bit of oil on top of the catch tank, like it had been leaking from the lid. The little tube gauge thing on the side isn't showing any oil and there isn't much in the tank at all. So it must be coming out of the lid. It is a Torques one and I did notice someone post on here...

I have been really poor at using my Ph1 over the summer, just got busy with other things. Took it to work a few times and that was about it. Not really done much on it either. After taking the back seats out I put a load of soound deadening material in the back. Had to wire wheel some rust off...

Yes I have, I need to find who does it. Or through the council but I need to move first for that I am sure I read as then I’ll be paying their council tax. The girlfriends brother knows someone who might have space in their unit (they paint and fabricate cars which will be very useful!).

Sounds ideal then. I’ll take a look at them when I’m next in Halfords as forking out over £450 for three car covers is a bit excessive. Well the E34 is the one I’m most worried about being outside. Currently lives in a carpeted garage lol. The paint is a bit thin in places being so old so...

That looks ideal for the Clio and Z3, will get one of them. I usually chuck some dehumidifiers in it anyway over the winter. What is the underside of it like? Is it that soft layer to stop it rubbing on paintwork? Wondering if this would also work well for something a bit more heavy duty to...

I am in need of a good all year car cover for all my cars as I am moving house and I wont have a garage 😭 It is really for the E34 and another for the Z3 at the moment after seeing the price of some but wouldn't mind getting the Clio one in the near future. Needs to be for all weather, rain...

Didn’t know where to post this, here seems appropriate. Oh I’ve just noticed it’s tyres.

Arch liners are the ones at the moment! I too am after some but refuse to pay the silly hundreds of pounds for what Renault used to sell for about £50 (although rumours is that the Polish place that used to make them for £150 a pair have been told to stop by Renault and they are going to do them...

I used to daily my old Ph1 172 and that was in track spec (no interior, bucket seats, coil overs...) and it was perfectly fine. Despite being a little loud that got a bit tiresome on long journeys (long I mean >3hrs) but I just wore ear plugs. Mine got to 170k miles and apart from the power...

Not sure on the pads, whatever that my DA came with! It’s not a fancy one but has been fine for what I’ve done. Good advice on not going too mad, thanks! I might give the polish I linked a go then and see. These marks are almost out, they just needed something a little more than the polish I...

Need to remove some scratces and marks from my dad's car. I gave it a good going over with Menzerna Heavy Cut and it got so far, removed most of them but there were a few which wre just a bit too deep and this stuff wasn't quite getting there but it looks like they would come out. It is like I...

I remember on my old Ph1 I needed a CV boot for it. So went to the Ford gargae to order a genuine Renault item - yes the Ford dealership, if you go to the Renault dealership they send you to Ford down the road but if you phone up for parts then you collect from Renault...explain that one. Turns...

Totally forgot about this stuff!

What are people using for leather cleaning, protection and conditioning? I’ve inherited some generic conditioner that I’m about to finish and the Gyeon leather stuff I have (cleaner and protector) and want to try something else. I did find the Gyeon ok on the car seats but it sort of zapped...

When I had the cam belt done in mine the garage (ex Renault dealer) said mine was an early one. I got it with the plate W601XGP but they found out it was actually registered as W1END. He said it was registered really early too, sure he said March. He was surprised how early it was registered as...

Oh the noise. It’s glorious. I really want to do the 6 cylinder engine on my E34 as that will sound epic. I sort of priced a kit up for it….then looked at the “gains” and the only actual gain was noise, pretty poor power increase for it

But 0.6bhp off 200. Although the only faffing I had was sorting out the ECU as mine is a Ph1, from what I’m told a Ph2 is plug and play.

I made 199bhp in my Ph1 172 with the following: KTec ITBs Megane 225 injectors 4 bar fuel pressure regulator (easier on a Ph1 engine as the fuel pressure regulator is on the fuel rail so I didn’t have to change the fuel pump) Had new coil pack, spark plugs, Magnecore HT leads, cam belt and...

I have the PMS fuel pressure regulator housing and the Bosch FPR that is an option to it https://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/clio-2-ph1-172/engine.html?p=8 Shouldn’t need the housing if you are running the standard Ph1 fuel rail

I ended up hard wiring my TPS into the loom (probably kit the best idea but I’ll get around to fitting a plug…probably). Turns out the newer TPS from KTec is for a Ph2 (as from what I was told by them their ITB kit essentially is) as the GEN90 is a Ph2 ECU hence all the pin changes required on...

It was your pictures and comments that made me get a 4 bar one. That was the other reasoning about it and having an extra capacity for performance if required. Tbh I’ve not checked but seeing as I’ve got an external fan switch now it doesn’t matter. I thought it would be fine but obviously not...

I was reading some other builds of a similar set up and they were running higher FPR’s. And the fuel rail was a bit of bling really! I still need to sort out the fuel lines to it as I’m still not happy with them, but I’m not doing a full braided lines that are rerouted in the car….yet. I do...
