Needs to be about a foot lower! They all seem to be done like that, but then the owners tend to be young and probably don't have the money to make sure it is a spot on job. If you can do it though mate, kudos to you. Your car at the end of the day...but just remember V6s aren't that expensive...

Sweet, do they do a silver one?

I couldn't blame anyone for having a Golf as it's nice owning a car you don't have to worry about, whereas with my Clio i'm always thinking whats going to go wrong next! The handling is dire though, the Clio isn't in a different league, it's in a whole different sport ;)

I love this forum.

How many forums are you posting this on? ;)

I think the engine will be fine as long as the services have been done when they should of been. At that sort of mileage i would probably want a car which has fairly new brakes and suspension (incl. bushes) because they defo would be on their way out. Make sure the air con is still working too.

Thank guys, i will play around with these.

It will just be a deeper louder sound.

Sounds a bit expensive, how much is it to get aftermarket cams and pulleys?

The site may of been Car Survey: http://www.carsurvey.org/model_Renault_Clio.html I bet they are inundated by the old dears this morning. Will check mine out at the weekend..bloody Renault.

Well if you're going to do it, may as well do it properly.

Think he means Mk2 Facelift. I'm sure with some work the V6 kit would work as the only things different are the bumpers.

lmao at the commentary! That is dangerous stuff, should of kicked off at him. I love that corner at Bedford though.

That black one owns the silver one. Owns every other Clio going in fact!

Anyone got a dead straight on pic of their 172/182. If poss without numberplate? Cheers!

Mines a '02 but it must be older than that as it has this older catch. What i don't get is that they showed the new one but that wasn't a post '01 car, wasn't it a new shape Clio or a Megane?

There are always some on eGay.

Prefer your old rims. Would look so mint with them on. Oh, and get clear side repeaters instead!

This thread got a bit anti FTO, they may not be fast but they do handle tidly and i personally think they are good lookers. Engine noise kicks ass too so if you want to feel a bit more special then you couldn't knock someone for getting one...

But then could you agree that the car has so much grip now you cannot breach it on the road? A stiffer set up is harder to deal with by default. I presume Mark Fish would of made your car more aggressive, so i doubt it is any friendlier on the limit...

I think Cliosport does a disservice to the 172/182 really. They are genuinely good little track day cars out of the box and i bet most members get to their limits opposed to the car's limits when swapping the suspension for stiffer stuff. Personally i think people should spend money on driver...

Interesting, if i see him again i'll note down his reg.

What Loony means is that a post 98 models springs will fit yours too. Get some FK Coilovers (up to -80mm) for the best looks, ride and handling!

I paid under £500 for Cup rims a couple of years ago so bearing in mind the darker finish that sounds about right.

Anyone watch 5th Gear? That bloke who charged up to 5k for full on clean!

Nah, not a DC5. Well i reckon they're going above 60 lol. Despite being obviously bigger it doesn't actually weigh that much more than the Clio. I won't say the speed i was doing but i was going pretty fast the other day and had a bloody 1 series 118d on my arse the whole way so wouldn't be...

The DC4 has 190bhp and about 130 lbs/ft. Presuming the DC2 is the same as a DC4 engine wise...

Come on, own up! Who has a racing blue 182 with white stripes, white mirror caps and k-tec grilles?

Fred have you just cut up carbon panels for the doors or are they moulded? I am looking for someone able to do mouldings for these doors:
