Great to see another black Ph1 still alive! Mine's still in bits in my garage atm, need to pull my finger out and fix it..

Hmm yeah might be a bit wasted on you then 🤣

Personally I'd go throw the 200 cams in and the inlet, then go get it mapped. Might as well get the most bang for you buck from the map session, rather than having to go back again in the future if you only did the inlet. Might as well do what I did and throw on the PMS lightweight pulley kit...

Are you planning to fit the Tessa as it is, or going for a cam upgrade at the same time? Car looks spot on btw!

I've been waiting on these for ages! They teased them last year so it's good to see they're finally on the way.

There's likely an air bubble trapped in the ABS pump, it seems to happen a lot with Clios. If you've access to the Renault Clip system, I'm fairly sure you can plug that in and it'll run a process to move the air out of the system. If you don't, you can do what I and most others do, which is to...

How much did you get for it in the end? Seems like the 2nd-hand car market is really on its arse at the moment, especially in the Clio world. Mk2's that were going for £7k last year are barely shifting at £4k now!

I've got a ticket but I'm not going to be able to make it. If anyone would like it, let me know and you can have it!

@NorthloopCup is your man on here for gearbox rebuilds! He's got tons of knowledge and will help create the best setup for you.

Supposedly they're still taking and shipping out orders, but personally I wouldn't take the risk right now.

Well well well, it appears Fanatec have gone bust! No wonder you had so many problems @mace¬ 😬

I feel like EA WRC is a step up in terms of physics, especially the tarmac physics which were lacking in the previous Dirt games. However it does feel like a half-finished game. The career mode is really shallow, the tyre degradation makes no sense and some of the locations are boring (Croatia)...

If you're planning on playing a decent amount of rallying games, I'd definitely recommend the Fanatec shifter as it's easily switchable between H-pattern and sequential. I know you've had issues with Fanatec but you can pick one up second hand off FB Marketplace or eBay. I'd also recommend the...

I'm right in thinking that the Bilsteins have an internal bumpstop? Sounds like the damper has failed if it's compressing that much under load potentially.

If I get chance this weekend I'll try to grab some pictures for you from my Phase1.

I'm not going to able to make it as my Clio won't be ready in time, so could one of the admins reach out to me as I'll be offering my morning and afternoon track slots up too.

I can’t take any responsibility for the idea, I’m just using this kit from Pure Motorsport!

That's perfect thank you! I just need to bed my new clutch in before mapping so I should be fine.

Hi Folks, After a lot of faffing around I've nearly finished swapping in a new 172 engine running 197 cams. The car currently is still using the base map, so I am safe to start it up and get it running? I've no intention of blasting around in it until I've had it mapped properly, but I need to...

Did you do the inner tie rods when you did the tie rods ends? I know from experience the inners can rattle about when they're goosed.

This was a video I got of mine in France, hopefully it works.

My centre exhaust mount was completely shagged so it was bouncing around everywhere, in that picture it’s most likely fallen out of the rear hanger which happened from time to time 😂

I've got a unsilenced KTEC stealth on my car with a decat, and I'll warn you now, it is loud! Ideally if you're wanting to daily drive it I'd go for a silenced one. The quality of it is really good, fits well with some fresh hangers and so far seems to not rusted. As always with KTEC it took...

You probably won’t love this one but oh well 😂

Do you guys mind if a Cumbrian in a rusty red Saab tags along? I would come in my Clio but it’s in a thousand pieces right now 😬

I'm amazed no one has posted a Ph1 172 yet, when it came out it was huge step forward for the hot hatch world in terms of power and spec. Next up would have to be a 309 GTi, basically a better 205 GTi (although worse looking I will admit). And finally because I'm a weirdo, I'll include a...

This should be the right inner tie rod for the Phase 1, it'll have the part number on there too: https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-steering-track-rod-kit-mk1/

You can probably find it cheaper than here but this is what you're after: https://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-oe-power-steering-sensor-renault-clio-mk2-rs172-182.html

Check the sensor down at the front of the engine. Mine had split and was leaking from there:

That sounds about right, I think he was there a couple of years? They released that video of him driving a Subaru on a frozen lake over there I think
