    Arctic blue 182 overhaul

    Cream, Chocolate and Bronze. Looks nice.

    Potential new owner advice sought

    My mates have the 250 Cup and it’s really good. Both have high performance Audi and BMW cars but love driving it. I’d definitely consider one of those or a 265 once the old girl goes the journey. A 200 just doesn’t inspire me. I’d rather go back to an N or perhaps a GTi or GTD Golf. The logical...

    Potential new owner advice sought

    I've been driving MK2 182 Clios to work for 5 years. My RB is fully restored with new genuine parts, except for the exhaust. It's factory, comfortable, and great for long distance business meetings. Insurance is £17/month, averaging 35 mpg. Road tax is £32/month. Consider a factory 182 Trophy...

    172 non cup drivers side driveshaft change

    Pretty much the same as this https://cliosport.net/threads/mk2-dci-100-o-s-driveshaft-removal-guide.848350/

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    That’s precisely why things need replacing. I’m not suggesting throwing a parts cannon at an old car when there’s no need, but there were 3 things I never changed on my RB Resto. 1. PAS pump - It used to whine slightly but functioned perfectly well. I also had the opportunity when the engine...

    Clutch smells and noise

    I ran the Sachs organic kit and lightened flywheel for years in my circuit car without issues. Great bit of kit.

    Hi! from Spain!!

    Lamentablemente, es una escena demasiado familiar. Supongo que todos debemos disfrutar de estos autos mientras aún podemos.

    Looks a beauty and that R5 is 😍 What’s the Renault scene like over in Spain?

    Track car coilover spring rates......

    Most car enthusiasts these days prefer following social media trends or quick information rather than learning hands-on or seeking advice from experts. They are a marketer's dream. It makes sense to stand on a hill, watch a kid in a Clio winning races in a novice championship, and then...

    Michelin ps3

    Recently fitted a pair of PS3s on my 182 – ancient tyres, for an ancient car, but they perform exceptionally well. Had Continental PC 6 and PS4 on my Proceed GT; both were excellent. Tried Yokohama, Kumho, and Avon on the 182, but nothing felt right. As soon as you meddle with the factory...

    Advice - Looking to buy a RB 182

    Yeah, just don’t do what I did and throw out old parts which I ended up buying back for 10 times as much 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Advice - Looking to buy a RB 182

    This 👆🏻 I started looking in 2019 and it took 2 years to find the right one.

    Advice - Looking to buy a RB 182

    I assume you’re wanting an unmolested one? A few pop up every now and then but you’ve really got to watch what you’re buying. Underbody corrosion is an issue now. Some genuine parts are NLA, some aftermarket parts are NLA. So be prepared to restore some second hand parts. I bought mine 2...

    We haven’t had a roll call for a while… *Track Clio pics only!*

    My new car which I bought a few months back after flogging the old one. I’ve been squirrelling away parts to convert it for circuit use as it’s previously been dancing in Hillclimbing Championships. It hasn’t been fully stripped out like my old one, which is something I prefer, and has a...

    Chris's 172 Cup Turbo

    This 👆🏻 Although the nut on mine was so rusty it rounded off and was just spinning. I was hoping to loosen the bolt just enough so I could grind the head off the bolt. No luck in my case. It’s at this point things started to get bodgy. Engine out 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Chris's 172 Cup Turbo

    When I was restoring mine, I got 3 out but there’s always one. It was so bad I ended up taking the engine out. A bit extreme but I was getting so frustrated with it I didn’t want to end up butchering it. With the engine out I managed to get a ring spanner on it, but even that was a pain. I...

    ‘Bonnie Blue’ The RB 182

    I’m not sure TBH. Check the yellow dot is lined up on the sensor. Stick the wheel back on and give it a run. Sometimes they can reset themselves, but usually need a diagnostic and codes clearing.

    ‘Bonnie Blue’ The RB 182

    Steering Angle sensor needs resetting. Sometimes it’s also down to the type of steering boss you fit as well.
