CULT OF MACHINE NIGHTS | SEPTEMBER EVENTS | TUESDAY NIGHTS | WHAT'S ON
Belle Voiture – 12 September
Tickets https://caffeineandmachine.com/whats-on/belle-voiture/
French cars are strange. We mean this in the nicest possible way.
As a nation, France has always specialised in a few distinct...
So I did a thing...... browsing the internet a few days ago I found my self looking at 200 EDC Clio's. Browsing/Shopping as we sometimes do with no intention of actually buying. Id imaginarily decided that the white and black cars weren't for me, and the silver and red ones being a good look...
So ive had the Twingo's front end aligned and pointing in the right direction, the rear on the other hand requires some shims. It's always been this way even before I swapped the stub axles but it's never been an issue. With getting everything pucker I wanted to get it set properly. Is this too...
So its one calendar month till Retro Rides Gathering. One month to get your cars prepped and ready to travel to Shelsley Walsh in Worcester for one of the biggest and best meet ups of the year. A super chilled out show with plenty to see and a wide variety of classic, retro, modified and...
Hi all, I have a funny electrical fault with my Twingo and could do with a wizard to direct me where to look for the issue. With diagnostic equipment if I activate the low speed rad fan it will run fine, if I request the high speed fan the fuse will pop (though they share the same fuse), the...
Hey all, for those who drive their Clio's more aggressively what heights do you have the car set at front and rear? This is for my Twingo with its engine swap but as its basically a Clio 172 but 4 inches shorter I though id rough it out similarly. Plus I'm more likely to get decent answers here...
What Renault gearbox's would fit a F4RT engine even with some fettling? Will a TL4 gearbox bolt up to one? I have previously mated a JC5 box to a 197 lump using the sump and flywheel off a 172 for alignment and then drilling the block, the castings were there for the bolts just not drilled or...
I know its a Clio forum but you are all so good at finding info so you might be able to help.
My Twingo 2 isn't pre wired for cruise control but I am told it can be wired in. So say 3 maybe 4 wires to the ECU itself and 1 to the fuse box. Other than that its the same setup, switches and...
I know its a pretty simple job on a clio 2 but has anyone done it to a clio 3? I have a cheap dci I'm rolling around in on a 06 plate, cruise would be a nice touch for the commute. I can't see any extra wiring behind the side panel though? any pointers?
Thought id bosh a quick thread up on here, i do have a full one over at TurboRenault.co.uk but thought id share it here too. Please move it over if its in the wrong section.
A few people might know me here, ive owned many RS clios, Ph1 on itbs cams and standalone about 11 years back, i built a...

Turborenault.co.uk are having a dyno shoot out day if any other renault nuts want to attend
So we have got together with Dynodaze in Nuneaton to host a Dyno shoot out day for you all as a bit of a 2018 season opener. It would be great to have a good old catch up whilst taking in the aroma of...
Picked up a cup last week, the car seems to be leaking gearbox fluid from the bearing in the inner cv. Things to note are the bearing seems to slide up and down the driveshaft, im sure this isnt meant to happen? can anyone confirm? I mean the movement rather than the leak. Any way to fix it?
I have a strange problem with a clio cup i have just picked up. The drivers side window work but in reverse. Pressing down drives it up and up makes it go down.... the pas window does nothing. The passenger door switch also does nothing. No clicking or firing of relays to be heard. I have...
evening all, i have had a search and cant find the info or the pictures i am looking for.
Has any one here fitted and ran the RS2 Extra with the longer runners? pics would be great if possible. I run an rs2 on my trophy and am looking for a few more bits to improve it before i get a full...
ok here's an odd one for people, hopefully an easy fix. I have a trophy and have fitted an rs2 inlet and it came with a mapped ecu, matching uch and fob. Im sure the ecu is from an early ph2 clio.
all installed totally fine, plugged in clip and set up the uch as n2 as it was previously and...
So i see a fair few RS's locally and thought id stick them all in the same place, feel free to add to it and say hi. Give me a wave of you see me in the trophy :up:
Today 24th
blue 197 Hucclecote, pulled upon brookfield road as i was out walking the dog
blue 172/182 stonehouse A419 off the m5...
is there anyone here running the 300mm setup? could you measure from the center of the hub to the outside of the caliper for me please? i run 15 inch pro race 1's (not 1.2's) they have more space in them than most 15inch wheels so wanted to measure up as see if i could squeeze them in, cheers
my car has been up for a sale for a while but i have now added it onto ebay so i have decided to share it here

Hi all, were hosting a rolling road day at powerstation on the 20th sept. Open to all especially renaults, dont fear you dont really need a turbo, i will probably be coming in my trophy rather than my le car 2 turbo. Any way if your interested please add yourself to the list, i think some of the...
While doing my usual jaunt to the scrap yard for a look around i found this thing looking sorry for itself at the back. Anyone know the car? Unless the cambelt let go i couldn't see a reason for it being there.
trim from door shuts was missing so couldn't see what number it was if that's...
Ok when i got my latest clio it already had a decat and janspeed catback on. The thing is, it just sounds a bit raspy/tinny on acceleration. Is this normal for them? would putting the cat back in get rid of the god awfull rasp? it just makes me think of a saxo with a powerflow on lol.
