Really like that. Looks like it'd scrape like f**k though!

Have you bought springs for the wrong engined car? That's all I could assume. i.e a heavier 2.0 lump may bring it down more? Looks good apart from the front still being too high. My apex 40mm springs bought my 1.2 mk2ph1 down miles!

Understand your not wanting to make it harsh, when you fit the dogbone mount you may get a little more vibration coming through on idle, but after about 300 miles it settles down and you can't tell it's fitted. Difference is when (more like if with you) you're hooning it around some lanes...

146 posts and the floppy haired f**ker hasn't even posted a picture he's taken yet. FFS! Make sure you go poweflex on the dogbone mount Kev, it's the only one worth doing IMO. I'd go with a full set of stiff mounts if it were purely a weekend/track car, as vibrations and the like don't matter...

Same picture three times now! Post no more. Inform the insurance it's not an exclusive then. It's a mk2 ph2 172, the exclusive was a mk2 ph1. So it's even the wrong body shape. Renault Sport Clio 172 is the car you have.

You're writing definitely gets better as you get further into the article, you seem to just find a flow you're lacking a little at the start (imo of course). An enjoyable read though.

10000000% not an exclusive. You have a very early ph2 172. (not cup)

It just neeeeeds to be lowered on the 15's, so badly!

Take the wing nut off the front of the box and stick your pinky in the hole. You should be able to feel fluid if you curl your finger down a bit. Alternatively, take off the undertray, if there's 7 tonnes of GB oil everywhere, you'll know it's all gone.

Very nice indeed. Re the weels, you have two options, powder coat or paint, problem being, powder coat will not adhere to plastic, but some good powder coaters will often have a paint equivlant of the powder coat they have used, so if you phone a few local companies, some may offer to powder...

Bloody love this, I even love the wheels, think they look great on it. Shame it's an auto, but needs must. I'd like to have a go in an auto to see how they feel, I just get the impression they'd feel very lazy? I guess sport mode could prove me wrong.

Then why do you give a monkeys dude? I think the Alcantara is actually worth it, somehow it makes the inside feel more quality and less Renault.

There's a proper echo in here..

First pics in this thread make me dewy tbh.

That looks great now, amazing what difference a clean to make to a car.

Have I read that right? You've got three wheels the same and one different? I'd personally contact the manufacturers or someone that sells them (either set) and try to get one more wheel. It doesn't actually matter which one you get, but I wouldn't be running three and one, I'd want to run...

Unlike everyone else I'm not surprised at all, I wonder why? I can't wait for some proper pics and for you to get "all Kevin" on it, replacing perfectly good parts with new parts because they're shinier n' ting. Seriously though, I have tried one with the yano kit, but everyone has had...

I always thought it was poor that Renault had no allowance for this. Only had a mk2 for 5 years too :o

Pic? I'm losing it

My roof is fine.. How does yours 'creak'? There is however SOMETHING behind the passenger seat that clicks/creaks. I need to find it before I lose the plot. As I said, they're spare so I'll probably give lacquering them a go. I don't know if they'll need a high grade wet sand first though?

You can normally pick them up cheap as chips, so don't worry. Either get them sprayed (have all of them colour coded) or contact Renparts or go to a local breakers and take them off another car. It'll cost peanuts.

Is the ICV not on the TB??? Am I going actual mental?

I'm amazed at your opinion Chip. Like Luke says, there's a million other things on here to look at other than "just" Clio's. I stick around for quite a few reasons: Detailing Gym Photography BMW advice Helping out members with issues I've had in the past or offering a hand etc. It's not just...

For that money I'd rather pick up another TB and give that a go!

I think the comment may be "it's not a very good engine to tune", not what "it's not a very good engine to start with". Perhaps stupid was a bit harsh, but it just seems to be a comment of someone who doesn't take in all they read on here and just glances over comments. I honestly believe...

You sold it?!?!? Did you even have it up for sale?

What a silly thread. You've pretty much answered your own question along with adding in some rubbish for good measure. People don't rate modify the Clio's like they do the Saxo's/106's because they don't respond aswell. Spend £500 on a 106 and you'll see a real difference, do the same on a...

Bloody love that, from what I remember these are quite pricey though? Interior is... bold? I actually quite like it though!

I'm sure it was a lot less than that when Adam172 ordered one? Not that I'm questioning for you all knowing Danny, but I'm sure it was closer to half that.
