Next up I decided to get a brake upgrade. I spotted these on here a while back and they have been completely reconditioned - new seals , pistons , powder coated in porsche yellow (not my first choice but starting to come around). They are peugeot Brembo 4 pots, with motrex performance adapter ...

Over the last few months I have been collecting together the bits and pieces that I am going to be using. The intention is to start the project off after the new year. OK so on to the stuff thats going on to the car: First up was the stereo - I do a lot of driving around so need to be able to...

Been driving around in Renaultsport Clios since I got my first 172 in 2003. Ive never really done much apart from general maintenance with my previous clios but have enjoyed every minute of driving them. Seems everyone posts their old cars so here are mine: Clio 172 - ran it from 2003 - 2010...

Its just a shame the prices have gone up by such a large margin from the 200 to the 200T . 172's and 182's were priced so well for what they were.

Very nice!! So clean after such a long journey too ( you must have washed it right ). Recaros too - im jealous.

Just out of curiosity as I have to do this too once I fit mine - when doing this would you get someone to sit in the drivers seat so that the car is level with the driver in the car.

if you don have spare wheels you could sit it on axel stands or bricks (gangsta) ... yeah the spoiler is black gold. Pearl black cup spoilers dont come up for sale anywhere near as often. Your other option is a Trophy/V6 replica spoiler for £80ish on ebay and get that painted.

Your car is looking fantastic - ,much prefer your black insert xenons compared to the grey ones - especially on a black car. Will ping you a message mid january when I will be selling my black cup spoiler.

Gawd, why cant anything be simple and straight forward. Your man sounds like he knows his stuff and will be able to get it fixed with a different primer or something.

haha yeah, so it is 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Hey Dan, whats the yellow thing behind the shock in this pic? is it an anti roll bar or something. Gus

Didnt know you could run rstuner on a tablet EDIT - ahhh didnt see the win8 bit... my bad

Good little video mate

You can get usb cigar adapters that have 2 usb ports . Then use bluetooth along with a slim odb2 reader (viecar bluetooth adapter) for the diagnostics part along with Torque.

Thanks Marc !, @Danny_172 - going to get new ones to save me respraying my tired looking ones.

Thanks mate @MarcR surprisingly good price considering the size of it. Do you have a price for the lower grille too Marc ?

Hi mate, How much is a new grille ? never occurred to me that you could buy them new. Also when you got your steering wheel done in Aylesbury did you have to buy a spare steering wheel whilst yours was being re-trimmed or did they do it while you waited. Got to catch up one day . Gus

Im no expert on this but have seen a lot of these issues seem to be due to the earth strap on the gearbox not making proper contact. Have you tried the second key and what happens with that.

Ive had a 172 that I ran for 7 years and 156k and that never used a drop of oil a all. Had a 182 that used more than the Exon Valdez and my latest 182 that doesnt use any. From reading on here the consensus is to just keep topping the oil up as its quite costly to fix.

oh and pro tip : when removing your old exhaust mounts wear some glasses as you end up getting rust in your eyes if you aren't careful. I had crap in my eyes for days after ha ha

Keep your old exhaust mounts so you can do this for next time http://www.cliosport.net/threads/custom-1-2-exhaust-mount.741956/

That looks properly corroded, have you got an angle grinder? dont know the size you need but this has the same type http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Clamps-Flanges-Hangers-/177995/i.html

really nice!!!!!:up:

You got a good deal there. Its looks like it has been well looked after. dont like the KTR sticker or the tow strap though. The front jacking are really crap, I would say 95% of peoples are bent.

PM if you want to buy a genuine manifold to cat kit. - gasket bolts etc. Had one sitting in my toolbox a while. @N4TH4N

might be exhaust manifold, when its cooled, use your knuckle or a spanner to knock each of the 4 manifold tubes behind the engine.
