    1.5dci - P2263 Error Code

    I know it's not a Clio sport, but thought someone might have half an idea. Sister's 1.5dci 106bhp Mk3 Clio GT is regularly coming up with 'Check Injection' and goes into limp mode, mainly when driven hard at 3.5k+ revs. Plugged it in and only fault code is - P2263. 'Turbocharger Boost System...

    182 Cup Suspension Differences

    Looking to get myself back into a 182, which will be heavily track orientated. My old 182 had the cup suspension with 60mm spacing, and I’m just wondering if I should try and go for this again or does it make virtually no difference in the real world? The shocks and springs would be replaced...

    Tempted to come back...

    Starting to miss my old 182, and I'm half tempted to sell my 250 and to come back to a Clio and get myself a daily as well. In terms of performance how does a 172 Cup compare to a 182? I mean I know the differences, but how does say a Cup backed 60mm 182 compare to the 54mm of the 172? Does...

    Anyone recognise this?

    My mates just bought it and it's got a Cliosport.net sticker on the back - just wondering if anyone knows who owned it or if they had a progress thread? OU10 XKZ He's done well as I don't think there's anything spec wise it doesn't have - Recaros, Keyless, Cup Suspension, Climate, Etc

    Jimbob's OG Megane 250 Cup

    Copied over from the Megane Forum Had my Megane 250 just over a couple of weeks now and thought it would be time to start a thread for it! Bought it off a lad on this very forum, travelled all the way down London to get it and drove it back Previous car was a Clio 182, which I bought...

    What's the limiting factor for low boost?

    Seems that on these Low Boost conversions the magic figure is about 230bhp or so? (And similar torques) What's the limiting factor from going higher? Is it the internals, clutch/gearbox or just seen as being the ideal power? What's stopping you putting in a Megane head gasket to lower the...

    SNR Bearing Vs. Genuine

    Need a new front wheel bearing for my cup packed 182, so the larger one (84mm OD) Am I best off getting a Genuine one, or is SNR an OE Equivalent? Only reason I ask I'd normally go Genuine but I can get the SNR from Euro Car Parts a day sooner which would be a big help, even if it'd cost me a...

    Wheel Size affect on Height

    Currently on : 205/45/16 on 7J (Diameter = 590.9mm) Putting on : 195/50/15 on 7J (Diameter = 576mm) Am I right in thinking I'll have 7.45mm less arch gap? (14.9mm difference / 2) Just want to make sure it'll lower the car/reduce the arch gap? I know we're talking minimal amounts, but just...

    Trackday Spares (Clio Specific)

    Anyone got a list of spares to take with them on a track day, which is suited for a 182? Something which you could replace there and then without too much issue, and carry on with your trackday E.g.: HT Leads, Coilpack, Brake Pads, etc Just I'm planning to do more days next year, and would...

    Alternatives to PS3's

    I've had Michelin PS3's on my 182 a couple of times now, and am tempted to try something else as the last set wore a little sooner than I'd like on the front, although the rears wore extremely well! But I have to hand it to them besides from that they were fantastic Went 205/45/16 the first...

    Fitting Braided Brake Lines

    Doing my Brake Refresh today hopefully - new discs, pads, braided brake lines and new fluid Happy enough with the discs and pads as I've done them before, and reading on the bleeding side of things it looks easy enough as I've got an Eezibleed kit Just wondering if it's a case of literally...

    Crack on Recaro Seats - Fixable?

    Found some Recaro Trendlines I'm interested in, but they have a crack in the leather which the seller has ensured me that its not a rip Can just this section be retrimmed, or would it need to the whole seat? And any ideas what sort of cost? I know I'm better of asking some seat retrimmers...

    Wheel Studs - On a Road Car

    Getting spacers for my Clio, so will need longer wheel bolts Thinking of going for a stud kit as I quite like the idea of it, but if I'm honest the car is mainly used for road use (so the benefit of quickly changing wheels doesn't really matter) I just like the look of them, and in terms of...

    Bilstein B14's - How Low?

    How low do Bilstein B14's go? From what I've read they'll go plenty low enough on the front, just not sure on the back I'm hoping they'll be lower than the Cooksports, especially on the back Some side on pics would be fantastic! Cheers, James

    Changing to Washer Blanks

    Got some Washer Blanks to fit to my 182 FF, which currently has Jet Washers for the Xenons What's the best way to stop the fluid trying to come through I've heard of people just using a threaded bolt, or another option is to disconnect a pump? The pump way sounds the best method to me Does...
