akrapovic for the clio came today
very nice piece of kit. won't have time to fit it until I'm next home from offshore in 2 weeks though
this thing is in a different league in terms of quality. so far very impressed.
thought some of you might appreciate some photos...
Anyone know a good tyres pressure setting for AD08s on the trac?
how much lower than standard to I set them?
do hot pressures need to be the same front and rear?
did my first trackday in my 200 today at blyton park.
the track was really good - much better than i had expected it to be and a great atmosphere there.
next on the to-do list are new tyres.

picked up my new 200 the other day
FF with cup, recaro's, cup spoiler, speedlines, RS gearknob and carbon dash
bought it to do trackdays in - got a few dates booked already
so today i got busy sorting it as i wasnt pleased with its presentation.
today i iron-x'd the car, snow foam and...

clio 197 -
just cleaned my car today and topped up the washer fluid
i noticed a green puddle of washer fluid under the car leaking from the drivers side headlight washer nozzle
its coming from the actual nozzle hole itself, where the water would come out of if the pump was running...
recently my drivers side recaro seat is squeaking on what feels like the right side kidney bolster.
when i pull away and there is more pressure on the seat back it seems to do it and going over bumps
yesterday it was really bad so i pried back the airbag cover and sprayed grease on...
my passanger side window 'sticks' going up and down
it has worked fine since i bought the car though i did notice the passanger window was slower than the drivers side
it does it with either drivers side or passanger side switch so cant be a dodgey switch
it goes down about 1" then...
AVOID NATIONWIDE AUTOCENTRE DURHAM

Anyway before i paid i wanted to check my wheels and saw this....
really p!ssed off... i could handle a small knick here or there but these are down to the metal

I had my car in today to have tie rods and wheel alignment done
They didn't have the right tool to get the tie rods off and stilsons won't fit
Anyone know a tool for the job? All the ones I have seen are about £75!
does anyone know of anywhere in or around the north east which does proper custom remapping? i want a proper rolling road set up.
only places i can seem to find do generic maps like superchips etc.
ive got some 165mm focal speakers kept from my old car. i was thinking about fitting them to my 197
i have pioneer speakers up front but want to upgrade the rears - the standard ones are 130mm
will the 165 (6.5") speakers fit in the rear?
cheers
as it was dry and above freezing today i decided to make the most of it and give the car a wash!
I have owned this car for about 6 weeks now and love it. 2007 FF with recaros, xenon cornering lights.
the progress for my car so far is;
Sony HU
Pioneer/renault speaker upgrade
silvertec...
anyone know the part numbers and or colour codes on the 197 or 200 cup shocks and springs?
my dealer hasn't got a clue as there is loads to choose from apparently
thanks
i have fitted a sony head unit and want to get an adapter harness to get the stalk controls working
anyone know where i can get one? i can only find -2004 ones
thanks
Just picked up my new (to me) clio 197
I had a new at the time 2004 clio 182 with cup pack and always fancied a 197 and looked for ages for the right one! I wanted either a mint 182 trophy or a 197 with the right spec (cup pack and recaro's)
so my new car is 2007, red with cup pack...
finally sold the 182 after months of mind changing. decided a diesel and a track bike is the way forward for me!! or maybe a williams instead of the diesel?? i dunno....
will miss the car though. was a class fun car and only let me down once (2 rear shocks after 8000 miles)..
just got my 182 back from the dealer after having 2 new rear shocks fitted.. inside rear was leaking badly.
I forgot how well the car handled as ive grown used to the broken rear suspension. well pleased to have it back again!
how many miles are you lot getting from a front pair of exalto tyres on a 182 cup pack.
ive done 8300 miles and the inside/centre of the fronts are finished.
how much is a pair also. rears are still brand new so swapped them round for now.
cheers
I82 cup pack, 54 reg, metalic silver, 5000miles, not modified, paralell import.
selling up soon. wont have a use for it in the summer.. anyone know what its worth?
I checked the oil level with the dashboard display thing and saw it was well low. I know these can be un-accurate so checked the rodney trotter (dipstick) and its well low... bear in mind my 182 is only 3 month old and has 4k on the clock...
anyone had similar things happen with 182/172?
Just recieved my renewal today.. was suprised cos i thought it was due next month!! oops.... anyway. im through admiral and the price has dropped over 300 quid from last year.
im 23 with 3yrs no claims on an import 182 cup pack. 900 quid. cant complain!! was expecting around 1200 quid.
now i...
Why is it women cant put anything in the boot without scratching the bumper, open the door without scratching the doorhandle with their rings and then take chunks out the sills with their high heels?????
Just another mystery to ponder over.....:confused:
hey people..
anyone out there with a 182 (or 172 for that matter) who find the brakes...odd?
the need to get them warm before they work properly in to be expected but the first few applications of brake pedal are almost useles.. theres just nothing there other than a rock hard pedal.
i...
Just been out for a spin in me car when i came to one way system after a quality bit of dual carrageway i like blasting down....
slowing down for the red light something told me to get into the left hand lane,when all of a sudden.....
a woman in a bloody fiat cinqicento comes steaming round...
the alarm is going nuts... it beeps afew times after locking the car and randomly goes off now and again... 2800miles and my first problem.. was going to well wasnt it?
