    Making an offer - 172 Cup

    Was a really nice cup close to me, I put a note on the window and never heard anything back then it arrived on scumtree a few weeks ago after being written off, #CupKillingSeason

    Pearl Black 172 PH1

    Very nice, just watch that alternator doesn't seize and throw the aux belt off and take the cambelt out.

    engine swap for mk3

    When 197s are so cheap it's literally throwing money away to do an engine conversion on a non rs mk3

    Clio III - 1.2 TCe remap plans! [Advice needed]

    Before you have it remapped with your new injectors, fit a better intercooler and a downpipe, this will let you reach 140-145hp, at which point you have reached the limit of the little turbo with its tiny exhaust housing!

    How closely related are the Clio and Dacia Sandero?

    From memory the sandero uses a similar ARB setup to the mk2 Clio non RS where it goes onto the underside of the lower arm with a rubber bush, i would bet though that there is a combo you can use in typical Renault fashion that lets you run a sportier setup from somthing else.

    How closely related are the Clio and Dacia Sandero?

    we have a DCI one at work and ive driven it quite a bit, it feels very like a mk4 clio to drive, looks like a parts bin special between a mk3 and mk4 too. The sandero RS uses an F4R and in typical Renault fashion, all the engines run the same/similar mounts so its a fairly easy project!

    Timing belt interval... how much leeway

    there's plenty out there popping up with snapped belts that I bet were on their original belt of 15yrs+ Most of the ones I've seen have been aux belt/tensioner failure that's taken out the cam belt. if its done 3k miles on its current belt there's not a chance in hell id be changing it! but id...

    Renault Clio Max Coates 71

    It's based on a non rs Clio, I'd assume a 0.9 litre, it couldn't be further from his race car. The dealer had stuck some stickers and badges on it 😂😂

    New here! Looking for ideas for my Ph2 Clio 1.2 16v Extreme 3

    i had 16" speedline turinis on mine from a 172 cup and coilover suspension back in 2004 looked good!

    172/182 suspension

    my understanding is the track is the same on ALL, cup got its wider track from the wheel offset, 182 has stronger front hubs (anyone ever cracked a 172 one? 😂 )

    Martin's Saxo VTR

    see changing career thread haha the mrs has warned me not to make a habit of this, every time a customer now mentions something not been worth repairing my ears perk up

    172/182 suspension

    cost depends on what you pay for the parts, personally if it was me i would get a 2nd hand front anti roll bar, fit new bushes to it, 2nd hand hubs and calipers and fit new lower arms, dampers and springs. also you will need the track rods and track rod ends I believe to make them long enough...

    Martin's Saxo VTR

    I paid £1k for it, looking at the previous sold eBay auctions I would say if it was average condition that's probably bang on the money for what its worth but having had a look around it id say its probably a good deal!

    Martin's Saxo VTR

    197 prices!

    I found this, the ONLY reason to buy a MK2 over a MK3 is ££££ imo

    197 prices!

    The cheap Méganes have done the same, it's because people want to buy them and build meglios I'd say
