Here is an interesting video I saw on Youtube of many generations of Clio battling it out:

Indeed, I have spotted a few Clios in the last month. Upon changing jobs I now walk past these two Clios everyday. One is a Cup and the other is a DCi with 172 wheels and interior: Friday and Saturday I came across two black 182s. One had vents where the foglight holes were and an...

Right, I am considering getting a steering wheel stalk adaptor to allow my HU to work with the stalk on the car. I am ATM using an Alpine HU. The Alpine lead is out of the question as it is very pricey ; I guess it did retail for £100 new but even with the display working on the dash I can't...

It seems today I spotted a couple of 182 FFs. The first one was a car with the Reg Y*05UHH. It had an aftermarket stainless exhaust was possibly lowered, he was attempting to have a play but there was no way I was going to rev the car up with the temp gauge still on the bottom! It had a Clio...

If I got a pound for every thread titled misfiring I'd be a very rich man. Anyway, My 172 is a great runner apart from one thing which this cold weather has highlighted; poor running from cold. It runs fine and starts fine from cold. Maybe the car is a little keen on the throttle but that is...

Hopefully this will clear up one question for me. I am about to get my Turbines refurbished in Anthracite, but before I do I figured I would clear something up. I have seen the reasons cited for why 15s are seen as an improvement, for mainly lightness and driveability; My Turinis weigh around...

I have not seen a Turbine thread on here for a while and it seems the VW Fanbwois seem to be loving them as well now. While some may argue that Turinis and a Clio are a match made in heaven I do like a bit variety and furthermore it is nice to keep the Turinis in good condition, which somehow...

My Clio is slowly getting up to scratch but the gear selection leaves little to be desired. While it is not as bad as some Clios out there it is not great either. The engine mounts seem fine, although the top engine mount could potentially do with changing (a specialist did give them the OK...

I can appreciate that there are many of these threads present but then there is also more than one way to skin a cat ;). Whatever this thread may offer to people all the better :). How did I come to own a Clio? In all honesty it was by pure coincidence. Years ago when I drove a friend's Clio...

I was going to organise a seperate one for you guys but it seems for the Retro Rides crew scary thoughts of cars blowing up on the Dyno and having only 10 spaces is a limitation. Basically I have 3-4 spaces spare for a rolling road in Heathcote, Warwick this Saturday morning and was wondering...

I always see a few and know of one or two of them. One being a Black 53 lowered 172 owned by Jimmy. Today however I came across two Renault Sport Clios! One was a Trophy which I suspect is in the top of Leamington with the no. plate BJ55 ***. This car was by the BMW dealership in Heathcote...

I guess that is it no surprise that I ended up with one of these eventually, with a friend or two mine owning them with them making plenty of sense despite a couple of flaws and pricey(ish) jobs. However, after driving it you do come to love them! My name is Chas, and it is not the first time...
