    Really sorry to hear about the crash. Very happy that you're alright. Hopefully I'll see you out there again soon! If there's any way I can help out let me know!

    Hostler's 172 ph1 track/weekend toy

    I couldn't deal with the rattle the PMS shifter gave me. I opted to just renew the entire shifter assembly for new parts from Renault along with some other parts. I'll try to put in all the part numbers in case anyone ever needs it. The shifter assembly without knob or reverse mechanism...

    BC Racing topmounts in and also fitted the PMS shifter. Shifts are so nice but my god this rattle.... Did pack everything full of grease but it didnt help. I know of another method which is putting some tension on the shifter shaft with either a spring or something elastic. If that doesn't work...

    Wow 860kg. Thats about 180kg lighter than mine last time i weighed it. Really keen to see the difference! I'll be at Zandvoort on the 30th :) Looks like I'll be the one behind you this time...

    Hell yes. I’ve been to Assen a few weeks ago and planning to go the 3rd of august again. Might go to Zandvoort somewhere in July as well.

    Not much to update at the moment. Life is kinda taking over so I haven't really had a whole lot of free time to spend on the Clio. Did get some parts in and gave it a bit of a clean.

    172 phase 1 throttle cable gets stiff/stuck in turns

    I'm kind of confused by this. The the throttle gets very stiff or even stuck when cornering. When I apply pressure to the pedal it gets really difficult to press resulting in giving it too much throttle and thus making the car incredibly jerky. I've already tried using some gearbox oil to lube...

    Hostler's 172 ph1 track/weekend toy

    Alright so I got another alignment which was slightly better. I tried the Eibach bolts to possibly get more camber out of my setup but it didn't do anything for me. So I'm getting some BC racing top mounts that allow for camber/caster adjustment from KAM. If that doesn't give me at least 2...

    Bilstein B14 with BC racing top mounts?

    I got my answer from @Kev@KAM through e-mail. So for future references, here's his answer:

    Bilstein B14 with BC racing top mounts?

    Wondering if this would be possible? I'm looking for top mounts for my B14 set that are camber/caster adjustable. From what I've read on here is that the AST ones aren't a direct fit. Would the BC racing ones work with the B14s? My B14s with 54mm spacing don't have slotted holes for camber...

    What have you used on the side trim? They look so black. Coating or just painted?

    Hostler's 172 ph1 track/weekend toy

    To protect the B14 coilovers I got some nice covers, sadly only the red ones were still in stock but you can't see them anyway so its all good. I'll remove them in about a month time to check if they don't trap any moisture but since i don't really drive the car in bad weather anyway it...

    What camber bolts are you guys using? B14 and camber

    I've recently installed a new set of B14 coilovers. I went from cheap crappy FK technix to these Bilsteins so the difference was massive. The only thing I'm running into is camber adjustment. I've always used H&R bolts with my old coilovers which allwed me to get about -2.5 degrees of camber in...

    i hate cars Put the Ferodo rear pads in. Stripped one of the threads on the right rear caliper........ Turns out someone has already been in there before and it was already tapped once with a larger bolt put in so no point in trying to fix it. Going to put a new caliper on soon. Thinking I...

    I still want to get into custom watercooling at some point but i just cant be bothered with all the different blocks, fittings atm. Upgrading parts without watercooling is just too easy @Romanian Tyre Fitter I'd just keep the 5600xt till prices eventually go down. Idk about the UK market but...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Ah yes a thread that applies to me. Recently upgraded my 2070 super to a brand new 3080. It's the suprim X from MSI. Got it around december when prices were still kind of okay. Paid 1000 euro's for it. The juicy specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x MOBO: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite GPU: MSI...

    Brembo 280mm conversion

    So what kind of machining needs to be done for those PMS brackets? What's the deal. Mine were pretty simple and only needed 5mm off of the calipers.

    Hostler's 172 ph1 track/weekend toy

    Managed to scoop up a brand new Bilstein B14 set of coilovers for the Clio from Autodoc for only 673 euro's. That's 580 pounds. Great deal. The funny thing is that on the website it was listed for 750 euro's, and through the app it was 673 euro's, I just remembered that I still need to take...
