Having killed my old 172 on track, I keep on finding myself fancying another one. Perhaps a RB 182! Anyway, my old girl: Rob and Chris's old cars too... Current car: This has now got Gruppe M filter, Spoon b pipe, K-Pro (Hondata), Eibach springs and camber adjusters...

I know there are a lot of very good photographers on here, so after some advice please! Been back to Scotland recently, took lots of pictures and I'm just wondering how to improve them and generally my abbilities to take such shots. Any pointers greatfully received. These are from Perth...

A few of you have asked to see the new car. Bought it standard, it now has: Eibach Pros, Eibach camber adjusters with fast road set-up, AEM filter, Supersprint b pipe, K-Pro tunned at TDI North to produce 228bhp. It gives about 50bhp much lower down the rev range by lowering the VTEC...

As above, a small clip of my first trackday and some pictures. My two tips: Firstly, when you're going too fast and run wide - DON'T LIFT OFF, EVER!! Secondly, only go as fast as you feel comfortable!! Other than that, all good fun, and yes - whoops. lol Video ---->...

My inner CV boot has a split in it. I've taken is to the garage and they have said that I will need to replace the drive shaft as it is not really possible to change just the boot, they said you have to take the drive shaft to bits. Does this sound about right? Sounds a little extreme to me!!

Firstly, excuse the old girl - she is very dirty and undergoing some TLC at the minute. Stripped rear and bucket seats on Eibach Pros: On the new KWs: This is as low as it will go on the back because of all the weight being removed. It has been fully set up and weighted...

As per the title.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180279709364&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:GB:1123

Just a quick one, sorry if it is in the wrong section! Had my my suspension fitted and set up yesterday, it was corner weighted too. It is a semi-stripped clio 172 (ph2). The total weight was 1151kg, that was with about 45 litres of fuel and me in it - I am 91kg btw. Is this good? Accoring...

Just after some advice please. I am just about to but some coilovers for my 172, been looking at the KW V2's. My car is mostly stripped and it is going to be used for a little road use and track days. My question is, how low will I be able to get it on this set up? I've read the it's 50mm on the...

Hello, Just in the process of fitting my bucket seats to my 172. Not sure what to do about the wiring? See pics below: Any pointers would be great, thank you :)

Hello, Just after a little advice please. When I bought my 172 thee and a half years ago, it started making a strange noise from in the dash. When I corner hard (either way) I can hear something slide from side to side. I think there must be a loose piece of metal (perhaps a bolt) which...

I am removing my dash now, followed the guide but I still can't get the dash out. I have removed all of the 13 screws yet it is stuck!! Tried to force it out, daren't apply any more force in case I break it - any ideas please? Cheers

My MOT is due in the next couple of days and I really can't be bothered to put the cat back on. Have any of you with de-cats managed to get through an MOT? Worth just taking it and see how I get on or change it prior to going? Cheers

Off the other halfs old car, forgot to put it back on before it went. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-Clio-Engine-Cover-NO-RESERVE_W0QQitemZ300196740620QQihZ020QQcategoryZ10410QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Parked my car up (172) to go to the gym today and some little w@nker has kicked off the passenger wing mirror :( The actual wing mirror has seperated from the section that joins on to the car! There is no obvious damage. Anyone know if it is possible to re-attach it? No idea where to start...

Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place! My side light bulb went the other day, managed to get my mrs to change it (she's got very small hands you see lol). Then the other side went, now both sides are fixed. However, my autolights dont seem to work anymore?! Any idea how you fix them...

I am currently looking at getting rid of my 172, now need a bigger car because we've got a dog. Its a 2002(02) plate, silver, fsh, 45K miles, cambelt/water pump and aux belt were changed at 41K miles. Only mod on it is a K-Tec stealth exhaust (the old one fell off!!). The bonnet is very...

Could anyone with a 172 please tell me what their V5 registration document says under the Make and Model/Type section? Mine has nothing entered under Model/Type, it just says Renault Clio 172 in the Make section. Surely this is not right? Thanks

Just after a little bit of advice please. I had my cambelt, tensioners, aux belt and waterpump changed last week on my 172. The last two times I've driven the car the STOP light and the coolant stop synbol have flashed up on the dash! It only seems to happen when the car is stationary facing...

Just a very quick question. Is the waterpump on a 172 cambelt driven? Thanks

Can anyone recommend a renault specialist in the Nottingham area please? Not very keen on using Sunwin as they are'nt the greatest. I'm looking at getting the cambelt, aux belt etc etc changed and would like to use someone that knows what they're doing! My cars on 41K now and I'd rather...

I've got an 02 plate 172 (full fat). One of the rubber sections on the wheel has split. Firstly, is it possible to get new rubber inserts? If so, any idea of cost? I might be better getting a new one, not sure what Renault would charge though? Failing that, scrap yard.... Thanks

Sorry if this has been asked millions of times before! Cant find anything under the serach. I know the 172 has a CAT1 Cobra alarm, is the immoboliser also CAT1? Just me insurance company states it must have at least a CAT2 immoboliser. Thanks

Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place! Is it true that only UK cars come with the alarm and immobiliser as standard? I'm going to look at a car tomorrow and I'm not sure if its an import or not? The lad selling it says is a UK car but the HPI says "Silver Unspecified (UK) No Model...

Are the badges on the boot of a 172 stuck or pinned on? Dont want to take the badges off if its going to leave holes! Thanks
