If you're racing get a gripper - more a necessity if your competitor has one - but an LSD is more than good enough for general track days. I've only ever had a Quaife diff but I would definitely try a Blackline, should i need one, especially based on the positive feedback

Sounds promising. There's definitely something about these little cars which is addictive. I'm putting my RB back to the factory spec - removing the Recaros and ASTs - now I've acquired the track car. I could certainly advise on not what to do, but part of the fun is getting stuck in...

The seats look comfy and supportive. What are those out of?

Electric cars will undergo a transformative evolution, much like petrol cars have. The IONIQ 5 N electric looks like a promising start. Mass adoption of EVs is still a distant prospect, so still plenty of time to enjoy traditional hatchbacks if that's your preference. Personally, I enjoy...

Every day is a school day :) Have you managed to find anything yet?

That Green window squidgy (or whatever it is) is playing on my OCD 🫣

No

Pardon my ignorance but what is ‘Clubsport’ spec?

Yeah, they’re pretty bad now. I’ve been watching the Yorkshire Car Restoration projects on YouTube and we’ve seen nothing compared to what they restore. It‘s reassuring to know these lads aren’t that far away should my cars fall into the sea.

Front and rear subframes, more so the rear as the front is galvanised. It’s not structural though and many owners whip these off and have them powder coated.

Inside petrol flap Rear wings along the bumper line and down towards the lower sill Front lower sills around jacking points where water and dirt gets trapped behind the skirts Chassis legs above the rear spring bumper stops and along the A frame Under the rear exhaust heat shield where the rear...

If the Clio 182 maintains its factory components, it's remarkably quiet and somewhat mundane to drive. Achieving a near-original car is rare nowadays, and those that do often command a premium when for sale. Modifications drastically alter the driving experience, and rust is now a...

No Brembo are just aftermarket. I can only speak for the UK market, but Lucas (British company) made the original calipers for Renault. TRW/Lucas etc are just part of German company ZF Friedrichshafen. I think they own lots of popular brands these days. Sorry for the history lesson 😂 But I...

Ah I’m not overly familiar with PH1s tbh. That model code is for a MK2 172. I’m sure somebody will pop by and help out.

This is also the correct part https://m.autodoc.co.uk/trw/2185822 TRW- Lucas made the original calipers for Renault.

Well the first link looks to be correct as it references the correct part number which is 7701205832. It also says it’s compatible with the 172 (CB0M) which I assume is your model? See model codes for reference https://cliosport.net/threads/model-codes.467166/#post-6102026 I haven’t checked...

As above but take a look at this thread as they’re also starting to go in other places - https://cliosport.net/threads/old-crusty-restoring-my-rotten-bg-182.844901/

Took the old girl to Croft with me on Monday and did a few laps to test some new springs. I managed to avoid the curbs and preserve that genuine splitter. Taking them off this weekend and putting her back to factory. Too clean to be a track car.

The LSD combined with that correction/bump steer kit will transform how the car drives. I can remember doing mine and going around Croft for the first time. Turn-in and exit speeds were transformational.

How do you find that tray? Does your throttle heel not touch the lip? Looks like it needs to be a little wider.

Mitsubishi > Nissan > Mercedes > Renault parts are compatible on some models. Particularly MK1 & MK2 Clios, as you found out. My son worked at Nissan and said they still use Renault, Mitsubishi and Mercedes parts on modern cars.

Looks like a nice car. Glad you're enjoying it. They're a great little car to take on track.

That’s the place to sell them if the cars right. It’s where my RB will be going when i decide to sell.

I only did 3 sessions at Croft on my new ZTR - around 40 miles in total - and they're not even marked up. It took quite a lot of flinging them into the corners to get the rear temps to even budge. I got the medium compound. The outside temp was 20 degrees and dry. The car wasn't really best...

They look like they'd be better suited to damp conditions. Good feedback.

🤞🏻

It was always my go to tyre for Circuit Tony. I rated them over the A050s which used to be my 1st tyre choice before they became scarce. I ran some MRF ZTR mediums today at Croft. They seem to be harder wearing and took quite a few more laps to get heat into them, especially the rears. I...
