    Mk 3 clio extreme gt special edition bodywork repair

    That's a Clio Extreme, and I BELIEVE that was one of the "renault accessory" body kits - I remember seeing a few of them local with the same kit, same chequered flags on the side and most had some sort of wolfrace 17" wheels

    200 Trophy tyre options?

    I owned the car from new and for the first 12k miles, until the SuperSports were done I had an odd understeer at medium speeds when you were carrying speed but not throwing the car around and shifting its weight, i had an alignment check carried out and all was good so i just put it down to the...

    200 Trophy tyre options?

    i had this dilemma when my supersports ran out. I fitted Pilot sport 4 (not the 4S) and found them better than the supersports they replaced! I then sold my rear supersports for more than the replacement new PS4's cost as people were looking for them!

    Insurance 2021

    Anyone apart from Dial Direct in my experience - horrid company - I went with them as they were cheapest on a price comparison! I can only imagine how bad they would be if you had a crash!

    Nostalgia!

    Imo if you buy one that's fairly well looked after they only really require minimum servicing and repairs, especially as a 2nd car so even using a good mechanic they can be cheap to look after and enjoy

    Engine swap from 1.2 to 1.6 k4f from megane. in my storia

    Run a 1.6 16v engine and gearbox, CLIO 1.6 16v engine wiring loom and ECU, this will connect to the 1.2 Clio interior loom at the bulkhead and run the matching UCH from the 1.6 ECU and key (sorry I have no experience with decoded ecus etc) your car should have these dials or similar with the...

    Engine swap from 1.2 to 1.6 k4f from megane. in my storia

    Converting a Clio 1.2 to a 1.6 using the parts from a Clio 1.6 is easy, and because its so easy there is no need to be trying to make it hard by using a megane. By all means use the megane engine if you already have it but get an ECU, UCH and key from a clio 1.6 Given your car is effectively a...

    How fun is a 182 as a daily?

    The worst ever daily driver I've ever owned. I recon an Elise would be nicer to live with, when it has the cup chassis anyway. Most fun car I've owned though!

    How fun is a 182 as a daily?

    you can absolutely daily drive one but they do feel their age now compared to a modern daily of course, I prefer something turbocharged for a daily driver now

    Squeaking fan belt

    You can swap the pulley its a clutch pulley on them and when they fail it causes a squeaking sound. i done one on mine a few years ago and it cured it, needed a special alternator clutch pulley tool to do it though.

    S3 8p sportback

    We look after one of these for a customer at work, its on 160k and gets hammered everywhere and its been flawless other than wear and tear! even at those miles. Just fitted a non res scorpion and it sounds fantastic, quiet enough you could live with it all day long but a nice note on boost...

    DCI gearbox

    There was a thread on here a while ago about building a "genuine 300hp turbo 182" and the OP said that he found the box to be too log ratios under 300hp but perfect over that if I remember right

    Clio 1.6 weird engine noise
