Allright, so this is a post I wasn't hoping to have to do, but my car doesn't want to start anymore, and I'm a bit clueless. It's a Clio 172 ph1. Let's start at the beginning. I don't know how related all these problems/symptoms are, but I just want to mention them. Last October, I had a...

I've read a couple of threads on here regarding the best oil for a Gripper'd box, and the one most recommended I believe is Redline MT90 75W90 GL4. I've found a pdf from Gripper which says to first follow the recommended oil. It also says it can cope with anything, even engine oil or just CV...

Normally, this goes to the heater matrix. As I don't have a heater any more, and I changed my coolant system, I thought I could just blank of off, forcing more coolant through the main system, increasing coolant capacity. I had it looped before. Yesterday, my blanking cap blew off because of...

https://m.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/renault-clio-r3-maxi-evo-250-nockenwellen/1736130103-223-1389 Are these cams usefull for someone? Any info on the specs? Can they be used on a 'standard' engine, or only on full race spec/modified engine? @NorthloopCup ?

I've been having issues when I start the car from cold, that it doesn't want to idle. I have to give it revs for half a minute or so, and than it can idle by itself. Is this the idle valve (or what's it called?), that sits at the bak of the intake manifold? Or could it be something else?

I have a gearbox noise, but only in reverse. In neutral and forward gears, there is no noise. Can anyone tell what this is? @NorthloopCup ?

Are these the same? I can buy a set of cams of an F4R-832 engine, but I would like to know if they are the same as the 197 cams to use as an upgrade in the 172 engine.

My car pulls to the right under hard braking. I can manage it with a little correction through the steering wheel, but it's not confidence inspiring. My brake setup is pretty basic, Ferodo DS 1.11 brake pads and Brembo HC disks at the front with braided brake lines. The rear is stock. I...

I've been working on my wheel wells, for which I had to remove the fuse housing. After I have put it all back together, the engine runs fine (at least at low rpm's/load, because that's all I can do on the streets near my house), no errors on the dash, but my rev counter doesn't work. I'm...

Anybody seen this thing before?

I've done a search, but couldn't find the answers I'm looking for. Has anyone got experience with both? Is there a real world difference that it's actually worth it to choose on off them? How about reliability? How do the Whiteline rear beam bushes compare to these? It's for a track only car...

I feel stupid for asking, as I've done it before, but how do you disconnect the inner loom from the engine loom? Obviously I've loosened the bolt, but I just can't get them apart.

When I wanted to refresh my brake fluid, I noticed my tyre have excessive wear on the outsides, and they are colored blue. What does this mean? And how do I solve it? Do I need to change my tracking? Currently it's like this. The top one is camber, then caster, then toe. Hot tyre...

I've just bought a Scenic shifter, and I'm not quite sure if I should add a quickshift or not as I don't want to reduce the life on my syncros. Please tell me what you think and/or what are your experiences.

Which is better for structural strength? With the gap, I can weld the inner sleeve as well, but there is more room between the cage tubes. Without the gap, the cage tubes are closer together, but penetration to the inner sleeve is harder. The holes are there to connect the cage to the sleeves...

Can anybody tell me how I remove the front window? Haynes says I should go to an expert, but as the windscreen is cracked already, I want to have a go myself. I want to save the plastic parts around the window though.

Who can tell me what's the function of these plates? As there spotwelded in pretty good.

After my last trackday, I noticed that my top layer is letting go on the front left. Before I scrap these tyres, I thought I would ask some opinions from you guys. I noticed it when I strapped the car on the trailer, and it looked quite bad, I thought the tyre was tearing apart. But on a...

Allright, so I attacked the interior loom to save some more weight, and got a little bit carried away with it. At some point I forgot to check if the engine wil start after every cut, and you know it by know, at some point the immobiliser light wouldn't stop flashing. I should have stopped at...

Allright, so this is my first post on this forum. I came to this forum because I recently bought my second Clio 172, solely for the track. Since this forum is very much track orientated, I can find a lot of usefull info on here, so thanks for that to you all. My name is Stefan, I am 34 years...
