Oh for sure, bonnet change, paint the trophy spoiler and remove the black wrapped section of the rear bumper. See how it looks in the flesh when it lands. I’ll be happy just to drive it to start with! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here are some pre-shipping photos in Japan before she goes on the boat to Canada. Should be with me in about a month and a half! Super Excited!! Big thanks to a few members on here that have helped me during my hunt.

For anyone else that is wanting a replacement pump, I installed this one yesterday. Solved my starting issue. It is a touch longer than the standard unit but it did fit ok. Item Name: Fuel Pump Part Brand: ESEN SKV OEM Numbers: 133356 / 250602674R* / 250607248R / 393750135 / 5968084 /...

Well there are no specialist out here. So there are a small group of us that do the work ourselves, using the guides and knowledge base on here and other places. Friend pulled the engine out of his v6 and did the timing belt and water pump not so long ago. Actually not that bad. We have access...

Hard to say, there is a 'base' cost so import any car into Canada and then the value on top of that car be tricky to judge. I have mine for sale $6850 and see if I get any sniffs. The more people see the cars and get exposure to them the greater the demand will be. Mine and my friends v6's...

I believe back in the 80's they sold Renault Le Car. They were terrible so Renault has a bad reputation on the back of that over here. But nothing has been sold since then, that is my understanding.

Pretty much. During summer time you see more exotic Porsches and fezzas kicking around and also some old USA boats.

Exactly, people go wild for my friends Ph1 v6. Definitely having Renaults out here makes for a good talking point. If you look through the used car pages out here it is very depressing, it's all boring junk. Hence the love of importing unique things.

I gets received really well, people love it. But it does definitely surprise some people off the lights. I am actually trying to selling the silver 172 at the moment.

Not bad for a 22 year old car!

Not long till they can hit the road agin....waiting for all the ice and snow to disappear!

There are not many good clean 6’s in Canada. There are some dogs which haven’t been looked after. Kids buy them and trash them. Not many good ones come up at auction these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Canada didn’t get any 6’s so all have been imported from Japan. Not sure how many are in the country now. I never see any. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last photo before she was tucked away for winter. A couple more months till she will be back out on the roads!

For a really nice Ph1 172 at auction (sub 60,000 miles)... Car price 250,000 yen = 1650 GBP Brokers fees = 1200 GBP (Japan and Japan shipping from auction to port etc. and Canada combined) Shipping across the ocean (inc. insurance) = 1000 GBP Tax (10% on 1650 GBP) and customs clearance fees =...

Haha was thinking of upgrading to raceland coilovers [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I have an unhealthy obsession with the ph1 look so i'll be sticking with it. I find the Ph2 wheel looks odd on a Ph1 dash.

No worries! Car arrives beginning of May. It has done 41k km so 25k miles, left hand drive. Comes with a mountain of service history. Trophy front splitter, trophy rear spoiler, CF bonnet, aftermarket exhaust, aftermarket suspension (not sure which brand, I saw some yellow springs so maybe KW)...

The engine will crank but not fire. The pump is 100% not 'whurring' on second ignition. I have a second 172 sitting in the garage and tested them back to back and in one you can hear the pump prime and the other you can't.

Need to source a fuel pump as I think mine has given up the ghost. Fuel pump relay is good but cant hear it priming when the ignition is switched on. Pump wiring is getting 12V also. Any one know the Renault part number or an alternative that is a direct replacement into the housing? Thanks

Also if anyone can identify the exhaust that would be some good info to know. @cat171

So it's been a while since I've updated this. Cars leaving the nest in the next month are the Delica and the RS Iceberg 172 :cry: But there are some fine replacements on the way :smile: The Delica is my daily driver, it has been great for winter and has all the space you could ever need but...

The nest is full!!

Yeah its a resonator. The exhaust is designed by a company called SiFo and manufactured by HKS in Japan. It is specifically designed for Clio 172's. Quite a rare exhaust and each one has a build number.

Yes! Took a while to put the deal together but we came to an agreement in the end. Driven it a couple of times now. It sounds fantastic idling cold and when you get on it it pops and bangs. Definitely puts a smile on my face!

Mars Red Clio Ph1 172 is currently going through the inspection process here in Canada. It will be lining up along side these in their 'new' garage!

No it's not mega money but by the time you have added shipping and tax it does start to creep up. But most of the cars from Japan are so so so clean on the underside with no rust or corrosion issues. It's quite amazing considering the age of the cars. I also believe that the Ph1's will go up in...

Haven't had it out on the road yet so see people reaction, I think I have the only Ph1 in Western Canada!! It is getting the Canadian equivalent of an MOT today, I think it's failed on a CV boot, aux tensioner rubbing on the aux belt and the front discs being a little pitted from where it has...

Yes 15 years. Long wait for my Megane R26 :( Thanks.
