Has anyone drilled out coilies/uprated shocks from 52mm to 54mm? Is it possible? Is it safe? @) Fed up of not being able to find decent cheapish second hand shocks for my ph1 172 ;(

Hi all, had a quick glance at the hinges earlier as i've bought a new bootlid to replace the one on the car currently, but they appear to be rounded looking things hoding the hinges to the car? does the interior trim that runs accross the top of the inside of the boot need to be removed or...

Hi all. Changed my accelerator cable the other week as the cable was sticking (common on the ph1 172's I know) so I went to Renault and bought a new cable but it's still sticking and isn't smooth - still feels notchy and sticks at 2-3k revs when you slightly let on the throttle. Blipping the...

Mines the PH1 cable accelerator. Strange thing is, since i've had it it's sometimes not fully retracted off the throttle and stuck at around 2k revs. i'd have to blip the throttle to get the cable to fully retract. Thought at first it was the cable (still could be) but today I went out for a...

Are the 172 disks the same as the williams disks? Many thanks

Hi all, sorry if i'm asking a few questions that have already been asked before. I've done quite a bit of searching on the forum but am still slightly confused on a few things. I have a ph1 172, and am looking at the best performance mods. Are there any problems when fitting a 182...

Has anyone had done or seen anyone smooth off the extra 4 holes on the ph1 172 wheels? I thought someone would have but i've done some searches and can't find anything.

anyone here going this year? I'll be heading down on Saturday 10th

People seem to go on about the 1*2's being high insurance.. but I just paid 1.25k for the year at 19? O_O pretty good if you ask me for an insurance group 16 car.

Well, the other night my window decided to go down and not come back up. Lovely start to my new Ranault ownership. Anyway, it was as if it'd come off the runner or something. The motor still buzzed but the window just didnt move at all. Took the doorcard off today and noticed the other side...

Only had mine since friday but noticed planting the accelerator = a lot of torque steer. Is it easy enough to remove the power steering? :clown:

Hi, I recently bought my 172 and every now and again (I can't quite pinpoint when it does it - seems to do it randomly every now and again when I put my foot down into a bend - could be a coincidence though!) It's a strange noise. At first I thoguht it sounded electrical but now I think it's...

Hi, my ph1 2000 172 has the tunerlist tape player. Am I right in thinking if I buy a tunerlist cd player it'll slot straight in and work fine? (providing i get the code with it) Cheers.

Never thought i'd be back after having a mk1 ph1 1.4 clio as my first car. 2 years and 5 cars later.. I bought a 172 :) wasn't cheap on the insurance at 19, but not stupid either. Just need to sort the damn radio out. It's code locked :( it's totally standard (appart from the rear tinted window...

always there when i go visit the gf. has a cliosport sticker so i assume you're on here somewhere.

cliosport sticker in rear window. with your missus maybe? :p

Hi. I'm about to list my clio either on ebay or on here. Here is the listing i've written out. I've tried to be as honest as possible. I'm thinking of starting the bidding at 500 and hoping for the best, but what do you think it's worth? Here's the listing I wrote out and a few pictures..

Hi. I have a dilema that I need help with! I've just bought a mk1 clio from north yorkshire in ripon. I live in Stafford, and total about 150 miles from the guy. The clio has a blown headgasket and therefor can't be driven. Now, I could go get a courier to collect it and bring it back, but I...

All I currently have is a backbox and not a lot of money. My clio is a 1992 and has the carb. Would it be possible for me to fit a bigger carb/jet up my carb? Or would it be cheaper and make more sense to buy the rest of the exhaust or possibly a less retricting manifold? Any ideas? Cheers

stafford town going down the duel carriage way past halfords etc.

Could anyone drop this picture around 40mm and stick me on some pug rallye steels? Wheels: http://i13.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/93/3b/9304_1.JPG http://i8.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/93/3b/9d25_1.JPG -- http://i2.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/7b/e9/2aef_1.JPG http://i3.ebayimg.com/03/i/08/18/4e/1b_1.JPG

It was a sunny day for once so me and a mate figured we'd go take a few pictures while bored. What do you think?

Hadn't seen an atom ever till the other day when we were driving back from the Scrap yard in Sandon and tred to chase this atom up the A51 (which I totally lost till the lights at the end of the dual carriage way, then got my mate to take a picture. BEAUTIFUL! Then last Sunday me and a few...

Was down Curborough on sunday and saw this V6. Very nice. First V6 i've seen in the flesh. Anyone know who owns it?

So the other day i get a phone call from the guy that owns the garage down the road from me that i use for MOT, servicing etc. My grandad and dad know him well because they used to know his dad who owned the business before etc, and it's always good to be close to a mechanic. He rings me and...

Went up the power station in Rugeley (yeah, stole your idea vinny :p) and took a few pictures. We suck at taking photos, and my phone sucks at taking photos also but yeah..

I never took any photos of her when i'd just got it home, but I did take on in the yard at the garage just before it first went in for MOT. I had to clean it up a LOT before it even looked like this.. Obviously I added the infamous mudflaps you all love to hate ;p Then finally forked out for...

Hi. I just bought a magnex backbox for my 1.4 mk1 clio. It's for a valver/rsi. I plan to fit it on sunday, but do I need a reducer or anything? Cheers!
