I'll look into moving it to the grill area, out of interest as i've never seen the OE Clio 172 setup where does the pipework run from, even better is there any pics knocking about of it. I'm all ears for making sure things are done right :)

By the time i whipped out the mobile phone to take a piccy it dropped to 54 lol, this figure was driving at 60mph in an ambient temp of 0 degrees over 6 miles of dual carriageway. Since this morning it's dropped to 48 average in traffic, 30mph, standstill....... I expect it to be lower of...

More harm than than good as it made nothing on the rollers?? IMO direct 102mm diameter flexi pipe feed from the foglight to the bigger box will help the breathing.... surely better than my old setup that had a cheap Max Power style induction filter fitted to the end of the OE inlet pipe.

Yesterday i fitted the Espace V6 airbox and ran a 102mm diameter feed from the outlet to the passenger foglight. With the old air filter induction i's on average over the last 2 years see 37-39MPG, pure motorway driving would give me 44-45MPG. I tripped the meter before heading to work and in...

I didn't mind removing the rear bench seat, black bar behind the seats, all parcel shelf gubbins and some rear interior plastics. I'm not sure i'd go too much further with weight reduction as it's still an everyday car not an all out track weapon..... yet :S I liked the bucket seats no rear seat...

Indeed, a nice power to weight gain is losing the rear bench seats, oe front seats and fitting buckets.... which i've done :)

OK, been about a week now and liking the Cliosport site. There's mountains of information and more than one company or person that can deal with the same things. So, at the moment i'm running a stealth exhaust and the R21 turbo or V6 airbox with direct airfeed to the foglight. My money is hard...

I bought new rear and centre section hangers the same time as the exhaust, both failed

I ditched the centre sectioned rubber hanger too as it stretched to the point of snapping with the mild steel stealth system. I went to Halfords for a solution and found what was an L shaped metal bracket with a heavy duty flexible strap on the end of it. I drilled a hole in the bracket and used...

My phase Clio 172 did exactly the same thing, it damaged the centre section as well in the process. The OE back box and the centre section worked out to be exactly the same price (£235ish) as the K Tec Stealth system in mild steel so i bought that instead

No probs, IMO for the sake of £10 you have a spankin new one not a mouldy green one

I bought mine from Renault, about £10-11. Part No: 77 00 410 754

I've had mine over 2 years and in that time it's changed a little bit, the 1st pic is when i 1st bought it. This is the car i part exchanged for the Clio

That's me! I'm working on the 2 new build houses there :-D I did notice a few Subaru's going back and forth, is yoursvthe green estate?

Xenon Bulb: 77 01 046 154 £146 each

Cheers, i've had the 2118s a couple of years now and was deciding whether to go anthracite with them. I also have the oe OZ F1 wheels which i'm in the middle of refurbing and painting, they've been orange but changing them as i've seen another odyssey blue with exactly the same colour wheels.

I did notice they looked identical when i saw a pic of the espace V6 box. at least i didn't pay main dealer prices, £5 on E Bay :D

The airbox i'll use is from a Renault 21 turbo, it has a 100mm outlet which will run direct either under the headlight, to the front bumper or to the foglight. The other end is 72mm which will run to the inlet via flexi pipe

Cheers! :)

Sounds good, i've been on the lookout for a cage a while now, 2nd hand would be nice to keep the cost down. Was qouted £800 for a Safety Devices cage but didn't have the cash to splash out on it

Keep me posted when you're looking at doing trackdays mate, is the silver Clio stripd out track style well then?

Hi Bod, will always be on RTOC and should be at Mallory too. Just thought it was time to join CS to see what's going with the 172s and what people have done to them

I did have it RR'd at Powerstation and it was spot on 171PS, however i am working on a homebrew airbox at the moment with a cold air feed either to the passenger side foglight or to the slats under the passenger headlight. It might make a difference along with the K Tec stealth exhaust

The Clio is std in power but could be worth a trip up to meet people :)

Wow thanks, always looks better in the pics :) It's a work in progress, i've come to a crossroads with it and not sure what to do next with it. Thinking of a full cage.... maybe TBs..... hmm not sure

I've heard of people fitting 'phase 2' rear bumpers on phase 1s...... not for me

Thought i'd post a couple of pics of my phase 1 Clio 172, owned it about 2 1/2 years now and still enjoy it today as i did when i drove it home after buying it. Mods: Brakes: Ferodo DS2500 pads, Brembo Max discs, new OE rear discs, pads, bearings. Braided hoses Suspension: K Tec coilover...
