    Removing rear plate screw (Rusty)

    ^ This. Be BLOODY careful you don't end up driving the drill along the boot or through your leg when it slips. Also mega easy to snap a bit if you're pushing hard !

    Rear ARB - Insurance

    Sky, Greenlight, Brentacre, .. modified specialists don't mind mods as it's their target market! They wouldn't be able to provide your Mum with insurance for her Micra, but a modified Clio is obviously on their game plan. No point asking how much anyone pays for their insurance. Unless...

    Fist post, Clio petrol light, Glasgow, Induction Kit

    The petrol light comes on when there's 1 gallon left (4.54l) normally. If you've got a trip computer / mpg calculater on the dash, turn the ignition on whilst holding down the button on the end of the right hand stalk. Then press it a few times until 'xL' comes up .. this is how much much...

    Lets sort this all out...today...once and for all..

    There's really no point, unless you're getting overtaken by milkfloats. I would use one (the same one before/after for obvious reasons) when doing a lot of work on the engine, to ensure it was all OK .. ITBs + cams for instance, to ensure the fuelling is right and obviously get some bragging...

    Lets sort this all out...today...once and for all..

    Hi, welcome etc. Firstly, rolling roads or dynos measure the torque at the wheels/hubs. From that they calculate power. Where are you getting your calculations from ? With the greatest respect, (I'm assuming this was told to you by whoever did your r/road?), they appear to have made it up to...

    Clio 172 - 220bhp lols

    :dead: yeah .. that explains it. I'm off to give my Engineering Degree back then call this guy as he has explained more about how engines and dynos work here than 3 years at Uni did to me.

    New addition to the family...... His name is Pablo

    Re: New edition to the family...... His name is Pablo Nice bus ! Still quite fancy one if I had to do the economy thing TBH... I hope 'our mrs' has been informed about turbo idle time / cooling to stop it happening again ? :rasp:

    What price all in all for mk2 conversion to sport ???

    You can pick up an ph1 for under a grand these days, a good one for £1500. Even ph2's are coming in under £2k now. Really REALLY don't understand the point of making something you can already buy for less money ... :S As has been said before, this was just about a worthwhile project 4+ years...

    Coilovers, Cup Spoiler & lots of positive camber!

    Full respray ? GOLD wheels ? :dead: You love wasting money. Spend it on a camera instead haha ! Positive camber needs sorting badly before you roll it on the first corner you come to :rasp:

    Newbie needs help :(

    Fred@BTM. There's plenty of companies who will trailer a car for you. Fred might even know someone.... Don't take it anywhere else unless they are a proper Renault specialist with a decent rep on here. He won't warrant the parts or the work if you supply, no one will. If he supplies, he...

    Insurance Renewal

    Regular insurers will always try it on, to catch stupid people out. Speak to Greenlight, Brentacre, Sky etc.

    How much would it cost to convert 182 to AWD?

    Anything is possible (almost) with enough money, time and knowledge. I think spaceframe would be the best way .. as per the 6R4 above. But then it's only about 5% Clio. Would an Evo lump (longitudinal engine) fit under the bonnet for starters ? Something smaller like an RX-7/8 engine might...
