    Thinking of getting a Megane 225/230

    Would need to be an r26 for me if track days were on the cards

    Delivery from Kam racing today. 182 cup dampers and grams springs. Ordered a pair of genuine front dust covers/bump stops and powerflex rear upper mounts. waiting on fresh front top mounts and they are good to fit

    I need a replacement 197 engine. My current engine code is F4R830, Will anything else fit?

    Depends what you mean by fit, as for a straight fit you will need to stick to a 197/200 engine

    Clio 200 dilemma

    I prefer to buy a car that's not had the belts done for the right price as then I can get them done, properly and I'm good for the next 5yrs. It's all too common for places to do just a belt rather than a kit, or fake invoices, or incorrect timing etc

    Depends mate, was only the black and red 06 that had issues

    Slight leak head gasket! Advice please guys!

    I don't think the problem on this 2006(?) Clio is actually the head gasket. As the head gasket on a 2006(?) Clio isn't a common issue. I think it's a problem with the connection between the seat and the steering wheel...

    Track rod issue any help would be great

    I assume someone asking to look at the back of the engine was asking what steering rack was on it as the smi sticker faces you when you look down under the manifold from memory

    172 exhaust on 1.2 16v

    It will physically fit with a bit of work but the diameter is far too big to be ideal and it will most likely sound pants.

    It's now just a big willy waving fest of who can spend the most

    Punto GT

    Those were the days, I went to a revo day a few years back with my mate in his 500hp golf R, he sat on the line, on launch control, came off the brske, auto box done the changes and bragged all day he was the fastest car if the day. Changed days!!!

    Clio 182 vs Twingo 133

    Just shoes how different opinions can be, I found the twingo gearbox horrid, as with all the modern JR5 boxes. Also found the 133 was no better than a 182 on fuel. I think an Elise would be better to live with daily 😂 As a toy though, spot on. I'd have a 197 over one every day of the week...

    Clio 182 vs Twingo 133

    I preferred my 133 over any of my RS clios as a toy, but on anything other than a spirited drive where you went out with the intention of being a hooligan it was hard hard work. a woman in the street up from me called the police on me for the way I was driving down the street, I was doing 30mph...

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    code read on it is showing this... when bleeding the brakes via RS tuner when you select the abs pump activation I cant hear or feel anything through the pedal im sure I should hear the pump cycle?

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    Well just ripped it round the scheme, she drives! It's running a little rough with a slight missfire so more investigation required tomorrow. But I'll sleep easy tonight knowing she works haha

    New member- clio 1.2 ph1 project

    i cant wait to tell the judge hes off his head if he thinks a 20yr old 65hp van does 140mph, the equipment is clearly faulty!!!!!

    New member- clio 1.2 ph1 project

    Full car, the best way to do it. it would be a pain and expensive to do it by collecting parts if you had never done it before

    New member- clio 1.2 ph1 project

    My van and the 182 that went into it were identical as far as I could see! the van should just be the same as a non RS with no sunroof shell

    MK3 Clio TCE performance exhaust

    Just go custom its the better option if you choose the correct person to build it!

    Changing a standard 182 into a 182 with cup pack

    Hubs, dampers, springs, spoiler, splitter and tyres. Was the difference with the 2 cup packs, not worth changing

    Punto GT

    I remember my mate having an uno turbo, big intercooler from an iveco truck on the front, bleed valve to up the boost etc, back when people tuned for just a few quid! Got it running and hadn't outt the interior back in so we took it a blast down the road sitting on a big plastic oil drum each 😂😂

    Long term storage tips appreciated

    As long as the garage is dry I wouldn't worry too much about it, rather than disconnect the battery I would leave it with a trickle charger connected to keep it powered up and topped up. Personally I wouldn't be too fussed about the fuel, ideally leave it low so you can just brim it and dilute...

    Clio 172 ph1- black, OEM restoration.

    Love it, they look so right in black. Especially with the ph1 rear lights! I found an rs tuner made a massive difference on my ph1, more so than any other rs I done!

    Clio 172/182 hidden rust traps

    behind the rear bumper where it mounts to the body. This wasn't mine, was a 200k car but mine looked like if I didn't treat it it would start to go in the next few years

    New (to me) Clio 182- decat, poor running on cold start- worth a remap?

    Yes but included in the price. When you get your rs tuner you plug it into your car, read ECU, send them a screenshot and they send you the map for the car
