Re: White Trackday 172 Project Ok, had some spare time so i thought i'd put the stock interior back into the Odyssey blue 172. The chap who's taking it is bringing some wheels with him this weekend so it should be rolling then off the driveway ASAP. Put the OE headunit back in All...

It happened to me doing a hot lap on the Nurburgring, pedal went to the floor. Nursed it round and took it back to the hotel, jacked it up to find exactly the same. Managed to get another set of pads fitted to get home Nickson, a fine example of a phase 1 and looks dam clean

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Part No: 60 00 073 668 £27.06 The parts guy has been giving me discount so i paid £24.36, every penny saved helps. I've also ordered a black 90 degree silicone hose 70mm ID for the inlet to airbox so hopefully that'll be here by this weekend. Also bought some...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Fit the exhaust system Fit the phase 1 fuel rail which has the FPR 1 of the indicators isn't working, we've found the wire just need to chase up the right 1 from the fusebox/relay end to join Secure bottom part of the dashtop Fit OE dash clocks for now until i...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Haven't really done much in the last 2-3 weeks, been sorting mechanical parts to try and finish it off and finally get it up and running which hopefully should be this Sunday. Ordered a new exhaust to cat (or decat in my case) fitting kit, i have the old stuff...

I think you can A centric 10mm spacers?

My Odyssey Blue Clio 172 I'll wait till the white Clio is on the road to get decent photos of it

You could try these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renualt-4-Hole-Wheel-Spacer-Kit-10mm-Longer-Bolts-/280675951681?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4159972441

15mm are the minimum size for hubcentrics as the heads of the bolts that hold the spacers to the discs will protrude on say a 10mm spacer. So it's either a 10mm spacer and longer bolts or anything from 15mm hubcentric or bigger.

The emulator sounds like a possibilty, i've actually just sorted the registration number from the car the ECU and UCH came from. I could ask my mate to dig deep with it and come up with the VIN number, Fab number etc, would this then give me a chance of getting the immobiliser code? Indeed, a...

Correct with the V5, the 172 was broken for parts so i have no reg number, VIN number to hand. Wouldn't clearing the ECU get past dealing with the key scenario?

Ok Jonny, so what's the procedure. I take it you mean the plastic fob part of the key? Also how would i be able to 'code' the key, assuming you mean the same code that's on the ECU? Blank key direct from Renault, E Bay? Apologies for the questions, i wish i sorted this earlier in the project build

Not sure on the colour, i'd have to check it tomorrow. I 100% know the UCH and ECU are from the same car as I took the engine loom and interior loom from it

Ok so this weekend coming the white Clio should fire up, but i believe the ECU needs clearing first. The UCH and ECU are from a silver phase 1, the key belongs to the white 172 so it doesn't match the UCH and ECU. Is there somewhere in Essex that can do this or is there a reliable company i...

I bought the K Tec coilover kit about a year ago and didn't have any problems with leaking. Personally for what I paid I thought they were up to the job for everyday use and fast road. It gave my phase 1 a nice look when I had it lowered. I sold them on a few weeks back and after a quick clean...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project No problem, do you have any pictures of the strut bar?

Re: White Trackday 172 Project 47mm

Re: White Trackday 172 Project I think the hardest part about swapping over to updated bushes is getting the old ones out. 2 long bolts where the bushes are, 2 bolts for the balljoint and 1 for the outer ARB bush gets it off. If you know a metal fabrication company or know a mate that welds...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project I can measure it tonight, it's machined to the same diameter as the hole in the suspension turret

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Sorry, i don't understand what you're asking for

You WILL get your drive in it lol

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Certainly is getting there :) yes the battery will be relocated in the back but for now just so we can get it running and out on track for setting up we're leaving it in the OE position. There's enough bits and pieces that require our time and attention so it's...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project A few updates with pics. While the engine was out i thought it would be such a shame to drop it back in with the original alternator setup using an Air Con pump still in situ but not actually having any air con in the Clio. I thought i'd look into the infamous...

It is an option as i have the blue shell with the phs 2 sender in it. I thought it might have been easier to swap the rails over than sort the fuel lines that are under the car

Cheers Fred, I'll source a phase 1 fuel rail

Can the later fuel rail be modified to run like the phase 1 setup which has the FPR in the rail? If so what would I have to do? Thanks

I've bought new brackets that hold the ABS lines from Renault which bolt to the front dampers. The problem the parts department have is finding the part number for the Torx screw that holds this bracket to the damper. Has anyone bought these and have the part number on an invoice they could...

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** I wonder how much my Clio is worth, not thought about selling but for agreed value etc? How do you put a value on your own car. Clio 172 shell Clio Cup rollcage Mk2 dashtop Cobra Monaco S seats 4 point Sabelt harnesses OMP steering wheel K Tec carbon bonnet...

Seems like it's going full circle, Renault had it right 20 years ago with the R5 running a 1.4 engine with a nice little T2 turbocharger :)

I'm swapping most of the parts from the Y reg blue Clio 172 into the X reg white Clio 172. I assumed that as they were both phase 1 models there wouldn't be any difference to any of the parts or setups. So far it's been the case until we noticed that the X reg has both fuel and fuel return and...
