Yup Robbie you were right... don't know why I didn't think so, even though I knew it was an ST170 engine something was telling me it wasn't. The car was due to be out on the road from tomorrow afternoon but unfortunately the alternator had to be sent away at the start of the week to have some...

I did but years back when Airshows were on and needed temporary funds to top up student misdemeanour funds. Back then the car looked like this... Check out my contemporary lowering methods. Height adjustable, although the car did feel a little bit bogged down... literally

ok Sparky I'll keep a look out when around Fboro :) Are you studying nearby then? I associate that road with the tech college / uni and students. Years back in student days /pre uni that area was abit of a hub for me, Many a happy / sloshed memory!

here's the car park near the Odeon in Guildford, although looking at the other pic of Guildford by Ollie this looks minuscule in comparison. The pic below I took on Christmas day in Godalming around the corner from where I work. The water is meant to be fields...

Aye custom throttle bodies, exhaust and ECU... I don't think it's the ST170 engine though. Saying that, you're about right on the BHP. It may be... There's this Fiesta and a guy who lives just down the road from where this is being built who's building up a Capri... I've got it abit mixed up in...

I'll ask him specifically whats been done and post it down. There's so much custom stuff and so much changed and I don't want to write it down wrong. It got started for the first time last week... I went and took this little vid. It really doesn't do the car justice and there was no coolant in...

Found the tank one...

Will do sparky... I've seen loads of 182's / 172's around Alexandra Road in Farnborough... seems to be a magnet lol. Seems pretty rare seeing silver ones though. I spontaneously ordered some orange badge wrap last night so I may have orange badges come the weekend... just trying to decide...

Bump.. It has a cliosport.net sticker so must be someone's from here! Anybody recognise it?

Welcome Tom! For brakes, I just noticed the last guy who posted has a message saying need brakes, PM so maybe he's your man there??! As for exhaust, if you're looking to get one pretty soon and have cash then I'm currently putting together a group discount if you're interested for a Scorpion...

I've worked at the Airport... twice... including access to drive all over it and I don't know where the wind tunnels are! But here's the frame in big. it's just along one of the backroads behind the Aviator. I'll be in Farnborough for abit tomorrow morning and again late afternoon / evening...

not that I'm aware... but Pug 307 one fits apparently and that's £30... still about £100 cheaper than Renault will quote you. Check out this thread: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?412072-Clio-172-Splitter&highlight=172+splitter

My last part purchase was from Garlands Skoda around the corner from the Renault garage... The last time I was parked out the back of Asda I came off the raised kerb abit too quick in reverse and took off my front bumper... Lucky for me the bumper kicked back in but the splitter was a goner :(...

I live in Ash so I do go past there quite often. I've only actually stopped in to the dealership once though, when they quoted me 2.5k to replace the clutch. I haven't been back since! :D You don't happen to park around the back of Asda in Fboro do you? That's the only place I've seen a 197...

Looking tidy. That's my mate of mines sleeper Fiesta behind yours which has had a major overhaul the past 6 months. Get a peek under the bonnet if you can before you shoot off :)

I've done more miles than you in 3 days and my car is not filthy, Get her cleaned! Love that it's even a Clio on the right as well. I park in there every now and again when going to the cinema etc. The 172 isn't mine though. Glad to see Ashot repping on Spotted :)

ha thought it looked like a work horse. I couldn't tell if it was matt black... too much dirt! I've seen quite a few 182's / 172's around that area, just this one was memorable as I couldn't help but want to wash it poor car :o

My memories terrible but believe the 172 in front was black with green badges, big ol' exhaust going on there, car in need of a good clean! Liking the colour blend though. I was going about 20mph down Queens Avenue while lost :o

ok, cheers guys

Hi all, I'm sourcing out a gearbox at the moment and keep seeing in descriptions about the gearbox being speedo / non speedo but I can't fin out what it means? I'm guessing its to do with ABS, if so will a non speedo gearbox still be alright to fit to a 182 and how large an effect would it...

Very tasty looking V6 in Iliad Blue.. doubly envious as my Clio's currently off the road :(

cheers Martin, 519automotive is too far away but I've contacted failsport. It's definitely a serious problem I have, not just a leaky shaft (<<f*ck rephrasing that :p ). The gearbox feels worse by the day and the rattle over the past week has increased daily.. Not driving it anywhere from now...

Hi all, I've just got back from the Renault dealership after taking my 182 there to be looked at as I've had a gearbox leak for the last couple of weeks. They gave me really bad news. Basically the gearbox selector shaft is knackered, and the oil going into the gearbox is pretty much just...

Signed up to the site as a paying member when I first got my Clio but haven't really been on much yet and shamefully even forgot about ClioSport until today as I was sat at some lights and saw a familiar sticker on the Clio in front. Quite an old Clio and clearly not a sport. Still... thought...

I went to Enfield Pageant yesterday and it was good to see the RTOC out in force and representing for the considerable lack of Frenchies. I only whizzed past but here's a few pics of the RTOC turnout all the same Obviously the majority were Renault 5's but there were a couple of old Clio's...

​Cheers!

mm... I guess if it was open though you'd get the fboro chav scene turning up speeding under it and inevitably crashing into it. I was cleaning as a summer job at Fboro Airshow a few years back.. I had a pass where I was allowed to drive my car practically anywhere around fboro airport as I...

Hope this fits into the scope of the theme.. I saw everyones entries were centred around towns themselves so decided to go with something a little more out the box Urban and less cluttered.. The location is just outside of Farnborough Airport at the well known Old Hanger, as featured in last...

When you're done with making your 1.2 Clio bang and flame you can make your push bike sound like a racing motorbike ;)

Oops sorry my bad, yup Urban. Is there a competition anywhere on Cliosport purely for a Clio shot of the month comp? I can't find one anywhere. I was on 206info before and we used to run a monthly shot of the month purely for creativity taking pics of the car.. so didn't matter so much about...
