Issue I have is the speedo not working, sometimes it works after 8miles then work until the car is shut off, then stops again! Sometimes it might not work once on a 30mile journey, next time it'll work after 2miles then work for hours....I changed the sensor for a genuine new one only used for...

Legend, thanks very much

As above, does anyone have a diagram for ECU pinout for the 172, Cheers

Just whip the rear calipers off and clean/regrease all moving parts, wind the pistons partially out to make sure they are all good, its a very bad design, was crazy back in the day on the 5gt turbos also, they usually require an annual check to keep them in shape

Looking for a bit of advice, does the pulse wire from the speed sensor on the gearbox go to the ecu then onto the clocks & head unit, think its an orange wire to the ecu then violet from the ecu onwards...does anyone have the pin locations at the ecu, I'm trying to identify if it is the sensor...

A few to pick from then, the one I'd seen was autoglym polar seal I think it was, anyone used it before?

As title, is there some type if wax I can just spray on and power wash off, that will give some protection over winter,

8hrs each way for me, no chance im doing that in a clio 😂

Yeah us car people were definitely daft back in the day, me very much included. Chasing power is good but I like driving the car at speed on a lot of quite roads up here, and most times a lot more power is harder to drive from my experience, I've had the clio to 135 a few times and it doesn't...

What's the issue with 230bhp, does it just not have enough grunt? I'm guessing 300 ponies on a B road may be too much to actually drive it flat out...thsts where the fun is imo pedal jammed to the bulkhead as much as you can 😁

Sandard bushes imo, but if you have to then purple

Cause there s**t 🤣

Is the current magane RS popular, think I've seen two on the road to date in all my travels and they were both local, pretty sure one of them has gotten rid of his already...was a nice black one

Put in a quarter gallon of diesel in the engine and run for 30mins, that will clean the engine out, that's what you do to marine diesels prior to strip down

If its just a road car, I would not fit any of them , especially if roads are poor condition

I'd just fit new genuine Renault ones tbh, they last forever with zero issues

Probably wrong sized bushings but regardless they'd need to be changed, not the best of jobs if you don't have a ramp

These clios do rust in certain hard to get to areas, them brake lines should of failed the mot a good few years ago, but are cheap and very easy to fix, the green areas on the lines are a sign of erosion and will likely fail very soon, find someone on here local who knows what their doing and...

Seems crazy money for me as I'd use and abuse it, it all depends on how deep pockets people have, 15k to some folk in the car scene is peanuts tbh

Really like a white r26! Only downside for me is the dash is ugly and they are a pain to work on, very nice though 👌

Are the lambdas protruding to much internally into gas flow area maybe, may be an issue if it's a race cat/modified downpipe

Remember to check the piston coating, big red ones have a coating on them that fails very quickly at the outer part where the dust seal sits causing them to stick....Renault ones don't have this coating and will do 100k with ease, that's from my experience

Looking for recconended known settings, something that's just a good all rounder for both wet and dry, cars not used much on the road and only on track now in again so not to worried about tyre wear 172cup on b14's, ad08r, camber bolts & pms top mounts Thanks 👍

Could be related to the tps or throttle body, you'd need to plug it in and start checking the parameters of all sensors etc are reading as they should both hot and cold and when on heavy load, best to just drive it around collecting live data via obm port which might help, could be anything...

You can't deglaze the pads so it'll stick to plain discs, pad deposit sticks to grooved discs also but nowhere near as bad, that's what the grooves are for, yes you'll eat pads slightly quicker but it's not too bad, I run brembo grooved discs with no issues other than the obvious noise...all...

Surely the ktec one is just a cheap cat used also then? I've kept the pipes and just sold the cat...I got 625 notes in aberdeen

Looking online i can only find the ktec kit available, does anyone else offer a SC kit for the mk2 RS?

Likely just age or been slightly damaged in the past whilst removing/refitting the cable I'd say

I think it has to be a good idea, the torque on these is terrible at best, they need strangled to keep up with anything imo

And for destroying the car i wouldnt worry too much, yes their going up in value etc but thats not what you bought the car for i guess, its an old renault, mod it and abuse it...only live once and all that
