    Cruise control buttons gone mad

    80% of occasions the CC works fine but sometimes it's reversing the controls of the buttons. For example if I press "R" the speed increases or if press "+" the cruise control disengages, or any other combinations like those mentioned Has this ever happened to anyone as I tried to do a search...

    When lowering a 182 on coilovers

    After some days of tiny adjustments to my gaz kit I decided to share my thoughts on what I found out. First of all I fitted the suspension myself, took me an entire day to get the std one out and fit the coilies, so a good advice would be to have some buddy ready to give a hand. I also took...

    What's your ride height? -GAZ GHA owners-

    Hi there, Just made some last (I hope!) adjustments to the car after fitting the gaz coils couple of days ago and I'm under the impression that I'm too low on the front, although I've seen here some silly low clio's I'm having 32 cm from the center of the front wheel to the top of the wheel...

    Adjusting ride height means that....

    ... I will always have to do the tracking after that? I am more concerned about the toe in/out values Do they change after messing with the ride height?

    Is you clutch creaky?

    I am sick of this annoying issue and I'm curious just how many people have it. maybe this is not such a popular problem after all. I'm thinkin if there is some 1*2 with 100k on the clock with no creaky clutch then maybe there is a catch and the unlucky ones could sort it out somehow.. I'll...

    On board fuel indicator

    Hi I filled the tank the other day and the dash was showing 51 L of fuel. I reset the trip computer, then after about 320 km it displayed 25 liters of fuel consumed Weird stuff is that the fuel left indicator shows 20 liters left in the tank, so where are the 6 liters missing? Is the trip...

    Angel works ported inlets

    As far as I know these are indeed ported and they are the real deal if you want to make the most out of your inlets. It seems like few people run them and couldn't really find some feedback on these so far I am tempted so if anyone have them installed let me know what you think Cheers!

    GTI mk V rear shocks

    A friend's 172 needs both rear shocks replaced and he found some mk V gti rear shocks at a good price and some guys say they can mod them to fit the clio is this a wise move or they're a totally different specification? might worth the effort as they probably will last longer.. thx!

    Magnecor 85 mm red- owner opinions

    Instead of buying very expensive std leads (I just hate the idea of paying renault about 120 for some god damn cables) I was thinking about the magnecor red ones. heard people say that magnecor (don't know if they were talking about the red or blue ones) don't fit the coil pack as good and don't...

    2,5" cat mod YES or NO

    Basically the narrow cat exit towards the center section (the one that needs to be cut and replaced with a 2,5" exit pipe) has a crack in it and without providing details the guy who welded it said it might not last for long so.. Is the cat mod worth the hassle? I know BTB does something like...

    Missfire, faulty leads or..

    Today when the car struggled to start again (after 2 days of wet weather/fog/light rain) I realized that it only did this when the weather was wet and cold (late autumn and early spring months) Each time the cure was to take out the leads and clean them and/or driving till the engine was up to...

    People with Milltek exhausts, who's had problems?

    I'm just curious about how many experienced problems with these systems? many say they crack, others are pleased. So for the help/curiosity of others I'm trying to launch a few questions: 1) date of purchase 2) date of install on the car, mileage done with the system 3) problems yes/no I'll go...

    People with eibach camber bolts

    I'm after these bolts but wanted to know their part no. As I know so far the part no is 5.81260k Some traders sell them as "clio Mk2 camber bolts", even if std bolts are different in RS models. these bolts I know for sure that are smaller in diameter than the std ones, but would they fit the...

    Revving when braking?!

    after I got my plenum painted and went for a drive couple of hours ago noticed that if letting the car glide in neutral and braking, the revs go up a bit, in the 1200-1700rpm zone, it's like pressing both (accel and brake) pedals at the same time. otherwise it drives fine. also the idle takes...

    Plenum got painted this day

    used hammerite on it and the TB and some black VHT paint I had on the fuel rail guard. did it not only for the looks but it seems like painted parts are a lot easier to clean lol got some pics of the lower inlets to get some opinions if porting them is worthwhile (they are the RS stamped ones)

    Cup pack oaval plate?

    read somewhere that the "A" in the "ACH- NRTW" seen in the pic refers to the suspension type of the vehicle, A being normal and B- cup suspension. as you can see mine is "A" although I'm having the cup pack (60 mm between bolt holes, grey wheels, spoiler, splitter, they weren't fitted after...

    Clutch pedal-not enough travel

    Had a chat today with a guy who used to race a 172 and knows these cars, then went at his garage and after he took some measurements the conclusion was that my clutch pedal sits about 2-2,5 cm lower (another lad had his 172 nearby to compare). it looks like the whole pedal assembly sits lower...
