On saturday i was on a motorway, and pulled onto a slip road for a service station. Clearly i was breaking hard to slow down, and in the process hit a f**king big pot hole (front left wheel) under braking. It was big enough for me to lose control, but i pulled over to check damage. Apart from...

Where can i get one from for my Mk1 172? Was looking at Superchips offerings at MPH05, and this got me thinking about R-Sport. Can you still get them?

The Oil Temp gauge in my RS-1 is quite erratic. It usually sits at 1/2 way where it should be, but on long motorway journeys, it flies around the bottom half of the dial. It never goes above the 1/2 way mark, and ive recently had a service so the level isnt low etc. anyone got any ideas?

At 11am today heading North just before Newbury, went tanking it past me. Think i saw a CS sticker in the side window but you were going sooo fast i couldnt really have a good look. I was in the Silver Mk1 172 that nearly pulled out in front of you, before i realised how fast you were going...

I'll post this picture here so the thread is Clio related and doesn't get moved :) Trophy was Number 4. the album of pics from todays show can be found here: http://photobucket.com/albums/y213/fubar_uk/MPH05/ all i can say is... was a fantastic day, hugely entertaining, especially...

Yes, I got bored again... :o

I have a Netgear ADSL W/L Router thingybob, but nine times out of 10 it wont let me access cliosport. It just comes up "Page cannot be displayed". My PC is connected to it via Cat5 cable, not wireless. I also have a Alcatel SpeedTouch USB green "sperm" modem which works fine and lets me...

I have one of these its looking grubby, can i put it in the washing machine or will it fall apart?

This goes out to all non Silver mk1 172 owners... im wanting to finish my gallery page on my website www.fubarnet.com so what i need is pictures of: Blue Red Yellow Green Black Im looking for at least 6 images with minimum resolution 800x600. If you think you can help and would like a...

My offside rear shock is gone... dont really see much point replacing it with another Renault one, so might go down the coilover route... however i dont know where to start looking. Whats good, whats not? I quite fancy the sound of adjustable damping and ride height :)

I see lots of people asking where to mount their crossovers for their component speakers. Well i did mine today and found an ideal place in a Mk2 Ph1. They are behind the dash, under the central clock unit. They fit perfectly, are out of sight and easy to get to. So thought i'd share it...

Fitted my amp, sub and comps and finally got it all running. Unfortunately, my car now doesnt run. I spent about an hour setting up the SQ on the amp, and fine tuning without the engine running... and now my car wont start - the battery is completely dead. Surely only running 1 amp for an...

Okay... so i thought i could run the speaker cable through the rubber connector between the door and chassis... but its a big plastic plug, so cant run seperate cables through there. So how do i get new speaker cable through to the doors? Thanks.

At the shell station by Sainsburys tonight at 8:15. you were parked at the pump, i drove past very slowly to get the reg plate, but i forgot it by the time i got home lol Mark_Petty? /Dan.

heh, looked like you had a good night mate... ;)

Mounting an Amplifier to your rear seats The back of the Clio rear seats aren’t solid, therefore they need to be modified to be able to attach an Amp. The method used when writing this guide worked very well, and took me approximately 1.5 hours to complete. This was done in my Mk2 Ph1 172...

Want to attach my amp to the back of the rear seats in the boot, but I cant find anything solid to attach it to. All i can feel is springs. How has everyone else managed this? or where are other people's amps?

Was on the Wessex way about 1pm heading towards ringwood. That colour stands out a mile!! /Dan.

Just bought THIS amp... and need the wiring kit for it. what gauge cable should i be going for? anyone recommend a good amp installation kit... autoleads? cheers.

Spotted tonight parked outside Tesco at Tower Park. Mk1 172 Exclusive with an oval zaust sticking out the rear... I remember going to look at a car very similar to this when i was buying my 172. /Dan.

Was parked a few cars up from me, so I left a ClioSport flyer. even managed a phone pic: /Dan.

What are the main audible differences between a 10" and 12" sub. Will I just get more bass with a 12", or are there more differences? Im inclined to get a better quality 10" for the money of an average 12".

Bought some Infinity 5010 comps, but i have a few questions about fitting them? How do i get the wires from the door up to the tweaters on the dash? Where is the best place to mount the Crossovers? Thanks.

Right, 2 of my "dots" have become empty on my oil display... I know people say use 5w40 in the 172s, but will 0w40 be ok to top it up? Reason i ask is because last time i was in the local motorsport shop they had some leaking bottles of...

I just paid £46.20 to fill up my clio with Optimax :sick: Im usually not bothered, as i see petrol as a "must have" so dont worry about cost... but today really took the piss!

Gday all. At the moment i have the following in my car: Alpine CDA-9853R Head Unit Alpine SPS-130A Front Speakers Alpine SPS-690A Rear 6x9s The sound is good, however i would like it to be better. I am interested in a good, deep bass but more important are nice clear vocals. How can...

Some of you may have realised that my pics in the "forest" thread were taken in the same location as a few pics of my old car.... so myself and FrenchManDan got creative: My effort: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/fubar_uk/crossbreed_small.jpg Dans effort...

Went for a walk in the New Forest today, got back to the car and it was gleaming, having spent this morning cleaning it again. Thought i would take a few pics... i love the way Titanium Silver sparkles in the sun: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/fubar_uk/My172/IMG_2057.jpg...

Was out walking the dog as you drove past me. 8:10pm tonight heading towards Christchurch town centre along Barrack Road.
