I had to turn that off after 2 minutes, I hate it when podcasts have shite audio quality. It's the same as the Dirtfish Rally Pod, I always want to listen to it but they're determined to record it in the loudest surroundings they can find.

Probably one of the only places on earth where they won't rust 😬

This was parked up at my local garage recently, can't be many left on the road now.

Might be worth sending ED an email to check, means you'd avoid pulling the engine back out like I had to do lol £250 doesn't seem so bad considering you can't buy the ph1 shafts anywhere now!

How much was the driveshaft refresh? Mine are looking quite tired now and could do with some sprucing up. Also make sure the clutch you're fitting works with the lightened flywheel. I made the mistake of fitting a stock clutch the first time around, which wouldn't engage any of the gears. Ended...

Doesn't it just! I was expecting it be around the same size, but it looks like a SUV in comparison. Really nice car though, was very impressed with it when I took it for a quick spin. Although the rear leg room is atrocious.

Not sure if it really counts as spotted, but my Mum's new Renault 5 got delivered at the weekend! Looks massive alongside my Megane:

They're out of stock at the moment, but these are the ones that people usually buy: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352818273600

I keep floating the idea of selling the Ph1 and getting something more practical. It's stupidly loud, everything rattles, it's way too stiff and throws me all over the place. Then I go out for a proper drive in it and fall for it all over again.

Timing could be out, that can lead to loss of power. When were the belts last done, and who did them? Or you're seriously down on compression. When my 172 was stock it could quite easily fly past 110mph with no issues.

Did you link your EA account to your Twitch account? I've seen so many people complaining in various chats about not getting a code and every time they realise they haven't linked them. https://help.ea.com/en/articles/ea-account/ea-account-linking/

This is what I did too, it's really easy. For anyone else wanting to do this, you just need to make sure you link your EA account to your twitch account so that the Twitch drops are enabled.

This is the one I've used on the past 3 cars I've done, works an absolute treat! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015OOVIRA/?tag=cliospnet01-21 You just need to take your time with the sanding stages in order to get a good finish.

The R26 is booked in for its MOT today, so last night I figured I better pull my finger out and finally get around to polishing the headlights. Took a couple of hours but I'm happy with the results! Doesn't look like such an old shed now, wish I'd done it sooner :ROFLMAO:

That's mine! 🙋‍♂️ Flogged it around track all day and it didn't give me any issues at all, despite being put together by me! I've got to say I really enjoyed it this year, everyone was super friendly and happy to chat. I can't wait to come back next year!

Little bit of short notice, but does any one have a driver's side driveshaft for a Phase1 172 that they'd like to bring along to CSF and sell to me? Just noticed there's a tiny leak from the CV boot on mine, and I'd rather have a spare knocking around just in case 😬

Get in touch with the guy who runs RetroPlates on Facebook/Instagram, he recreated the local dealer plates for my Clio. They're spot on!

@Krarl will definitely be the man to ask about this, he seems to be dropping the subframe out on his 172 every other weekend!

Just in case anyone is on the lookout for track tyres for the weekend, I've found these 195/50/15 AR-1's for only £99 each, which is way cheaper than I've seen elsewhere. Free shipping too! https://ebay.us/m/ucAclq

Have you got the pulleys mounted on the right way around. I put one of mine on back to front when I first set it up, it's easy to do. This is how they should look:

Nice win, I'd entered into that draw too! Looks like it was a DreamCarGiveaways car too at one point, I'm sure one of the previous owners will be around in the Facebook groups. https://dreamcargiveaways.co.uk/competitions/clio-182-cup-1000

I knew I recognised that plate from somewhere! My mate used to own it back in 2020, I think it was one of the original press cars. As it turns out it was an absolute rotbox, which was only discovered when it was sold to @172PH1 https://cliosport.net/threads/our-new-ph1-172.836630/

I've got the halfords 3T low profile one, its a good bit of kit, ableit a bit hefty. If you know someone with a Halfords trade card, it'll bring the price down to £128. Or if you're up in the Lake District, you can borrow my trade card!

Looks like it's been made into a turbo'd track car, judging off this post from 2023:

That'll be the number for that disposable flip phone, so I don't think they'll be too worried that its out there.

Couldn't find any info for the 1.4's, but the 1.2 16v's make max power at 5500rpm, so you're definitely shifting way too early. *Just looked on wikipedia, it suggested 1.4 16v's make max power at 6000rpm so no wonder you're finding it a bit slow :LOL:

That’s no bother! I just went for a check in the boot of my Megane, this is what came with me:

They came with a couple of cans of tyre repair foam to help bodge a puncture.

I thought I recognised the number plate of your car. Looks like you nearly went a bit too deep at Aremburg!

Hopefully this is of some use...
