I currently have a V6/Trophy spoiler in dark green. What colour primer would I need before I apply the silver? I'm sure I read somewhere that there are 5 different shades of Iceberg, is this true? Finally, what is the part no. of the aerosol form Renault? Thanks in advance.

I bought my 51 172 with 30k up for £6500 in September. I can't see it being worth less than £2500 in another 2.5/3 years so thats about 1300 a year.

I normally use Sainsburys Super or BP Ultimate when filling my 172 each week as the outlets are pretty close to me. This week I was at a mates and was running low so thought I would try a tank of Optimax. What a difference. The car pulls like a train in comparison to before, is smoother...

A true Golf. A friend of mines just finished circa 300bhp G60 mk1:http://www.dubforce.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=3748&st=0

A mate of mine has a Leon Cupra TDI, esentially the same as the Golf GTTDI with 150bhp. We were coming back from Centre parcs a couple of weeks ago down the A66 to Scotch Corner and had some good laughs. At one point he tried passing so I thought I would test my acceleration in 5th against the...

Excellent mate. Looks factory. Just needs the splitter and maybe an extra 800cc.

I pulled out of a junction near me recently at about 11.30 at night so all nice and quiet. I didn't even think about it but I ended up doing about 45mph for about 5 seconds on a clear stretch of straight road before I had to slow down and turn into another junction before my street, all the...

I've been looking into a vauxhall 205/55/14 steelie instead of my alloy. I just need to clarify that it will fit over the caliper.

Have a look here mate. It's a 172 but you get the idea. Mine's the 2nd car down. http://cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=119693

Wouldn't even clear the disc, love it. I think it's a long shot but it should save a good few kilos if I can get one that fits.

I'm looking at getting a steel wheel to replace the alloy spare in my 172 to reduce unsprung weight. According to this: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html a 205/55/14 combo will match my current 195/45/16 Turini. But would the wheel fit the car?

Here you go mate

The hydraulic'd Clio, love it.

You need to race Subway with that one Ali. It might challenge for the crown of 'fastest Clio (based on a video) on the planet'.

Why is it that Cups always look like a pikey has nicked the engine the night before? The LPG is probably accentuating the height of the front but they always look mega high compared to the FF's. Must be the lack of engine cover. Looks good though mate. ANy more info on the LPG?

I still don't get why people don't vent the breather pipe and and a straight through elbow from Team Think @ £19. Cheap as chips and it might actually make a slight difference with the cleaner air.

Or alternatively, a 15'' steelie from another Renault with a higher profile tyre.

Taking inspiration from another thread, how much does a 16'' wheel, say from a Laguna weigh vs a standard 172 16'' alloy?

No spacers on there mate but as they're Cup Turinis, the offset is different so they are pushed out slightly. ET38 v 42.5 on the 172 rims, though I always get the figure wrong. Get hunting for thos Speedlines.

Following on from a few comments on this thread: http://cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=115712 about an upgrade for the the rear exhaust mount to a Ford type mount to re-seat the magnex back box, does anyone have any more info, pics or even a How2? I have a custom Cobra box which sits a...

Never thought of this. Good idea kids. As Garf said, any shots, maybe a quick how 2?

Looking mean now mate. Get some spacers on there to push the wheels out slightly. I don't think it looks too high Rich, though it is 4x4 esque in that 1st shot. Heres mine with settled Apex (approx 15 weeks after my 23rd b'day-30th Sept ;) )

I'm sure my full fat 172 had yellow marks.

No 1. looks like the entrance to the Plenum chamber, much like the Renault Sport section of a 172/182 engine albeit a plastic version. I would say that No 2 is the airbox containing the air filter. Is there not a hinge on the right hand side of the box in the image allowing the top to be...

My personal thoughts would be that your current splitter is already damaged. Imagine what it would be like if there were two brittle fibreglass scoops stook to the back of it as well. Shards everywhere at the sight of the first high kerb. I personally would try and route the pipe down...

I bought a 2002 51 plate full fat with 31k on for 6500 about 4 months ago. It has double the miles and is a year older but it doesn't justify the 2500-3000 price hike at todays values as mine is probably worth a bit less now (if it was standard ;)) Just keep checking the trader every day mate as...

Bt mate

I've been looking into news groups etc. but all of the new servers are pay monthly jobs. I know it's stingy but I don't really want to pay for something I know very little about. Are there any free news servers about I can test the water with?
