I have a gripper in my dedicated track car. Trailered to and from the track. If I was to have my time again, I’d fit a Quaife. Cheaper, less aggro and you can fit and forget.

What are you using the car for?

172 for me. All day long. Ph2 however….

Take a look at this. Who in their right mi d would CHOOSE to spend time inside this??? What a miserable soulless existence.

Cars for enthusiasts are finished. We have cars for the masses (suv, electric guff and small engined crossovers) and we have cars for the show offs with money. But cars for enthusiasts are no longer being produced so we’ll all be chasing old hot hatches for the rest of our lives.

Spotted this on Facebook, obviously; Then I spotted this in Tewkesbury during the week. Had a real cool driveway with an old metro, an old rover and a land/Range Rover of some sort but I was going 40mph so… Cool that’s still very much alive and kicking and being used regularly. Gives me hope;

Imagine what it will be like once I have a functioning clutch and some suspension that doesn’t collapse on the corners. 😂

Bravo sir, bravo.

Can’t beat a clean ph1. Awesome little cars.

I liked it so much I painted mine white. 🤌

Nice! Super rare in white. Renault definitely missed a trick not selling the 172/182’s in white.

That’s what £150 gets you. 🤦‍♂️😂

Mate if I didn’t have harnesses on I’d have fallen out the window! 😂

f**k me, very evident I need better suspension. 😂😂

That’s really surprising. I was expecting 220+BHP given that anything resembling a straight line you just hooked up and fucked off. 😂😂

What’s that JennyChem stuff like?? I see adverts all the time but I’m worried it will be too strong for the stuff I do. Is it not geared towards big haulage etc?

Working this weekend babs. X

I removed my passat one with a Small craft knife. On eBay for about a quid. Make sure you use a brand new one that’s sharp. (Never done it on a clio but they’re all much of a muchness)

All of our events are open to some smaller clubs, TurboRenault and 197/200.net. They tend to be quieter more civilised people than the ones that Grace these pages, but we all share the same perverted interest in fast Renaults. And they are all ABSOLUTELY sound. See you in 2024! 💪🏽

The best engine bay cleaner I’ve ever used was Sonax Motor and cold cleaner. Absolutely superb stuff. Make sure you cover up the plugs (they’re about as water tight as oxygen) and the alternator as they like to f**k up too. Other than that, plenty of brushes, rags, and clean water. You’ll be...

Go to a better garage ffs. Plugging it in and giving you “cylinder 2 misfire” is about as vague as it gets. As Martin says, get it diagnosed properly by somebody that actually knows what they’re doing before you waste anymore time or money.

I’d have had that back to you within 24h. But I understand why you wouldn’t want to pay for it when your RAC cover is supposed to do it.

Dale doesn’t sound like a particularly nice person tbh. Definitely not someone I’d want to buy a car from.

Where is it exactly……?

Wales and Birmingham!!!

What a dick move. Who sells a car and doesn’t leave enough fuel to get the buyer home?? Or at the very least, make it comfortably to the nearest fuel station??

Nooooo. It’s got a KTR induction kit and a home made exhaust. Other than that, bog standard.

860kgs without me in it. And it’s a standard 172 engine so 160bhp at a guess? Camber didn’t kill my tyres. Driving like a meat and locking up flat spotted them badly.

I’ve just packed up my stash of parts and a plan is now in place. Saturday; it’s off to Beaniesport to have the hydraulic clutch conversion. Once it’s back from there I have fiberglass headlight blanks (should save me a good few KG’s) and a 2 inch hole saw for the interior. I’d like to save a...

@SharkyUK - I saw that scuff (NSF?) not long after lunch. I almost said something but I thought “if he’s hit that on the way here, he won’t want to talk about it” 😂😂
