So this summer during a bit of usual car parts eBay browsing, I stumbled across a Clio 182 that someone had spent a LOAD of money on getting resprayed... but just needed "a few bits" (my arse) to finish. The pictures of the car looked great and of course, being Blue, really caught my eye.. So...

I've been into my small fast Renault's for ages now but still can't really explain why...? ? My first (and what started the love) was my first Renault 5 GT Turbo Raider 1990's: That was my Mum's brand new Valver back in the day...! The Raider 5GTT Turbo model was the closest it could come to...

Love the 309 gti ?

No mate, not that time.

@imprezaworks owned it for about 3 years now and done 3 trackdays in it. Gearbox shitting itself issues aside... I love it for the job! Powerful enough with the map and handles brilliantly. Recommend one if you’re considering... just be aware that like all Renaults, the gearbox can ruin your...

Thank you sir ? That was easily the best track day I have ever had! Drove the car nearly all afternoon and it didn’t break down once!! Rebuilt my confidence in Renaults! ?

Aye ?

Beautiful! I’m a big fan of these type of threads and have a few myself in other worlds. Will be following this progress closely! ?

Cams in the right location? Inlet in exhaust and vise versa?

Looks great @Dr Jekyll. What will you do for replacing the kickplates? Where can you get stickers for the new grille? Someone reproducing them?

About time you got those Chroms out @DaveL485 aka Lankey Flea Bag

Could always enter the old schlag herself.... ?

Re: Clio TT (172 cup) Sorry to hear the latest Clio to join the 1.8T Club is being a bugger! I too was delighted with Dave Walker at Emerald when I took my (Flan's) MK1 Valver TT back their for Mapping when I got it & re-did all the looms etc. I'm also surprised to hear your having issues...

Flan's first VAG 1.8 20v Turbo Creation is on Pistonheads now.

Well thanks for all your help & suggestions lads, :dapprove: got it sorted in the end. Found out it was the second gearbox earth underneath the inlet not connected.

Hi guys, Over the last week i've whipped the gearbox out of my Clio 172 to get the synchro's sorted & have put it back in this weekend. I've now come to re-start the car after putting everything back in & the car turns over fine but just won't fire?? The immobiliser light on the dash doesn't...
