My old Clio which I sold a little over two years ago once I bought my DC2.
I bought it standard and spent a small fortune on it. If it's still in your possession and you'd like to know anything just let me know.
Providing nothing's been changed its got a PMS cat back and it's mapped by RS...
Not done anything to it other then.. Catch a plane, go and buy it today, bring it back over the ferry from N. Ireland, into Scotland and finally to England. 15 hour round trip, roughly 700 miles of which the car drove 320 of them faultlessly.
I'm not massively into this JDM scene but I'm always scouring the classified ads looking at EP3s as I want to try one.
Anyway I watch this vlogger Jamie FYD on YouTube and he went to this Japanese Performance Show
He's just bought an S13 too.
Some of his videos are alright.. Passes the time...
I'd have been there but due to the late start time me and 3 others have had to organise our own rolling road day at Noble Motorsport which is on the same day but booked in for 9am which is much better.
Blues the new/updated version, better pickup or sensor reading I've read or something. You can no longer buy the black one from Renault so if your after one of them it'll be an aftermarket part. If fitting the blue style you'll need to buy the new wiring loom/plug too to fit it. I've just change...
I've not had any luck with resistors.. Fitted different ohm values, cut off plugs and soldered resistors in.. Removed resistors re-soldered plugs back on and tried other resistors.. And no luck, my patience got tested now I've just given up and feel like ripping all the airbag wiring out lol...
Not measured mine so don't know but.. There's a handful of second hand ones on eBay at the moment that have been removed from 172/182s for around £20 and they'll fit perfectly.
Forgot to ask.. How many runs does RSTuning give you for £35? Been to some in the past who just do one run then done, and others who do two or three runs.
Put me down pal.. If we're struggling for numbers this time next week when deposits due I'm sure I'll be able to get a few mates to come and have a dyno run if there not being tight arses... No promises though:up:
Looks good that Dan.. I'm going to tackle mine at the weekend if it's sunny. I'll go B&Q on Friday for some bits, just wondering what to buy.. how much paint did you use? and is it just brushed on? did you do any prep work other than cleaning the inside like give it a key or anything?
Going to...
Are them photos enhanced or natural? Regardless it looks epic... I've never understood why people on here bum all over the RB Clios, to me its a tarts colour looks like a puffs Clio.. This is how they should look.
It'll look well with a trophy spoiler and some wheel centre caps.. You've done a...
Just seen this... Me and a couple of mates want to get our cars on the dyno (not all Clios though.. Focus ST, Type R, scirocco, 350z etc) but we're all Barnsley season ticket holders so might not be able to make certain Saturday's. I'll keep an eye out on this thread and once you've booked a...
DDC Doncaster.. Not East Midlands I know but if your in a rush may be worth the hour or so drive? I've always managed to get booked in within a few days. Quite a few lads on here have used them too, all with good experiences.
The idle speed usually gets adjusted by the guy mapping your car and he'll adjust the speed to suit. Have you still got the RSTuner after doing the 98ron map? You should be able to alter the idle speed using that device.
I doubt the problem will be with the boss most likely the ph1 stalk as it's quite common with them that they don't self cancel. I've read something about a white plastic part and Spring which you have to swap around from your ph2 stalk onto the ph1...
I've stripped the majority of the interior out of the Clio along with the rear speakers so now I'm wanting to fit some better front speakers due to the car being quite loud inside and the front speakers are shocking... I don't need anything special just a bit of an upgrade in sound/quality...
Track rods and track rod ends don't look that old, possibly changed just before I bought the car?
Fair enough.. I know if a mechanics told me ball joint, it should be the ball joint. I just wasn't sure as I've always been told if it was the ball joint there would be play if I placed my hands on...
Had an advisory from my MOT with N/S/F ball joint has slight play.. So I did a service earlier and while I had the car up in the air I thought I'd check the wheels for play. Drivers side not a problem all good, passenger side.. Ok top and bottom but there's play if I put my hands at 3 and 9...
Factory privacy glass or window tints do suit certain cars but like you say I just don't think they work with the Clio. It's personal preference pal but at end of day tints or no tints you've a clean looking 172 :up:
Started reading then noticed this picture.. I thought I'm sure that street looks familiar, then I seen Margaret's shop (think that's what it's called) on corner :smile:.
Anyway nice car, looks well in white.
I've got a PMS exhaust that uses Audi mounts.. I'm pretty fussy and it sits almost bang on when cold, close to perfect.
But once it's red hot on track.. Probably down to metal expansion it sticks out an extra 10 to 15mm (which I don't like) and it shoots off massively to the right to where...
