    CSF25 ClioSport Festival 2025 - Book Tickets Now!

    Well I've bought my weekend ticket and booked on for the full day! My clio is still in a million pieces, so let's see how this goes 😬

    CSF25 ClioSport Festival 2025 - Book Tickets Now!

    I was at Anglesey last week, no noise testing at all so I wouldn't worry.

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    1460kg without a driver I think, if you go for the bigger battery 150hp version.

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    0-62 in 7.9s, which is alright for a 150hp electric box. Plus this isn't the performance version, so not sure why you'd expect it to be rapid.

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    Continuing on with my mini-rant, what on earth do the new rally 3 & 4 cars have to do with the 'Hard Chargers' theme? Surely you'd be going for more cars that were known to be tough and could battle on, like the Octavia WRC? All seems a bit hashed together to me. Maybe they've switched focus...

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    I can't get my head around why they've added the '99 Focus, which was barely developed and massively overweight, when they could add the '03-04 Focus which would be much improved over the '01 Focus we have already. Plus the '03 Focus would give the Xsara a good fight in game based on the stats...

    The new tool thread

    I'm really impressed with it so far tbf, jacked my Megane up with ease. Only issue was I didn't quite realise how heavy it was, it's just shy of 40kg! I looked like a right plonker heaving the box across the carpark when I picked it. I stupidly turned down the Halfords' man when he offered to...

    The new tool thread

    I got a halfords voucher for christmas, so I figured I might as well upgrade my jack. I went for the 3tonne low profile as it was only an extra £15 over the 2T when I used my tradecard. Safe to say I might have overdone it slightly... :LOL:

    New Clio F1 owner needing general advice

    Fronts are from Brembo, rear callipers are supplied by TRW. Fairly sure you can still get them new, they might even be on Autodoc for pretty cheap.

    182 Black Gold - Yorkshire B Road Project

    I did the exact same thing on the opening lap of CSF23, blew the plug clean out the head. Thankfully I hadn't ruined any of the threads, so I popped it back in and it's been solid ever since.

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    That's the only version of the game that's really worth playing. Has hundreds of stages, great online rallies and the most up-to-date physics the game can handle. Be warned though, I think it's over 100gb due to all the stages. It's a little bit tricky to install, but if you follow the guide...

    HELP: Removed my 182 Gearbox, more than Thrust Bearing Broken

    That looks correct. When it's tightened up, the lower hook of the bar goes tight to the bottom of the mount. Not sure what the other hooked bit on the mount is for. Of course I could be majorly wrong but that looks fine to me.

    HELP: Removed my 182 Gearbox, more than Thrust Bearing Broken

    Yes sorry the dogbone is right, it's for the black rod that attaches to that!

    HELP: Removed my 182 Gearbox, more than Thrust Bearing Broken

    That's the bracket that sits on the outside of the gearbox at the bottom, to hold the rod attached to shifter linkage in place. I might have a picture of one somewhere. Edit: Terrible picture but it sits down here:

    Anti-roll bar bushing 23mm or 25mm?

    Right I get you, yeah you should be able to fit the 23.5's then, it just might be a squeeze getting them on. As long as they don't tear during fitting, you should be fine.

    Anti-roll bar bushing 23mm or 25mm?

    Right I get you. Like I say you could fit the 23.5mm's, but they'll be smaller than standard so the handling may suffer.

    Anti-roll bar bushing 23mm or 25mm?

    If you've got a non sport and want to fit a 23.5mm, it'll be a squeeze getting the bracket to clamp properly but it should be do-able as it's only .5 bigger than stock. But if you've got a Sport and go to fit a 23.5, it'll be 1.5mm too small so your antiroll bar will be really slack potentially.

    Anti-roll bar bushing 23mm or 25mm?

    These are the one's you want, they match the OEM number too: https://www.powerflex.co.uk/product-details/Front+Anti+Roll+Bar+Inner+Bush+25mm/326.html

    Recaro seats for 172 mk2 recommendation

    I've got Megane R26 Recaro Trendlines in my 172, fitted to the stock Clio rails and Jon Foz lowering brackets. That's probably the cheapest way to do it, other than fitting the Evo or Accord Trendlines, but they don't have the ability to fold so you won't be able to access the back seats.

    Assetto Corsa EVO

    Now live on Steam, I'd say £26.39 is a decent price.

    Assetto Corsa EVO

    I'm not too worried about the devs, they've set out a sensible timeline of releases and it seems like they've constantly tried to downplay expectations.. They haven't gone all in on hyping it up which is a good sign.

    Assetto Corsa EVO

    I'm super excited for this, the open world they're releasing later this year looks like a gamechanger! Plus the early access cars are focusing more on road cars rather than race cars, which makes a change from their usual GT3 stuff.

    The PH1 172 Appreciation Thread.

    Mines still sat in the shed with the gearbox hanging off after I got fed up of trying to get it to work. I had it all back together after swapping the engine and for some reason I could not get the shifter to align properly, or the clutch is dragging, I'm not sure which. I should really get it...

    Arch liners

    Join one of the RS 197/200 groups on facebook, there's usually a couple of people breaking cars on there who'll be able to sell you a full set for cheaper than that.

    Illegal Number Plates

    I got pulled over 4 times with this plate on my Clio, would be very similar to yours. I never got a written warning or a fine, but I ended up ditching it as it wasn't worth the hassle keeping it on. Seems crazy that they've dumped a fine on you first time around.
