Hi guys, Been going through my World Series pictures, and I've come away with very few useable pictures. Silverstone isn't an easy place to get a clean shot as there are so many fences. As a newbie, I also have what can be described as "budget" equipment (a 400D with a £100 Sigma 70-300mm...

Hi guys, Been thinking about buying myself a DSLR for Xmas pressie, and had pretty much decided on the EOS 400d. However, just seen this offer at Park Cameras for the Olympus E410 and twin lens kit. Seems to be good value for money, and the extra lens would be very handy. Obviously there must...

Hi guys, Going to have to sell my Ph2 Flame Red 172, just wondering what price I should advertise it for? 03 plate 52k ITG panel filter & Pro-speed exhaust I was thinking around £5.9 - £6k? Also, I still owe finance on it, which will obviously show up on HPI. My plan is that when the person...

Hi guys, I replaced the rear discs and bearings on my 172 about 3 months ago, but have noticed in the last few days that there's a whining noise coming from the rear of the car again. Is it possible that the bearings could have failed after such a short time, or is there anything else i should...

Looking for a video I was once sent by e-mail, and i think it might have been posted by someone on here. It was a Mk1 clio (looked like a williams or hybrid of some description), that was stripped and caged, going round a track (might have been Castle Coombe)?? The video showed it beating a...

Hi guys, Ordered my new rear discs and pads (OE) from Yozzasport yesterday (they arrived this morning, thanks Fred et al) so I'm going to be changing them this weekend. I've read FuBar's guide (http://www.fubarnet.com/rear_discs.html) and it says I need to torque the hub nut up to 172 Nm +/-...

Hi guys, I think my rear discs and pads are shot, so gotta replace them. Whilst I'm doing it, makes sense to upgrade (probably cheaper than Renault parts too?), but will I have any problems with brake balance if I upgrade rear discs and pads whilst still using standard fronts? Is it worth...

(Joke, obviously) Didn't realise ex-BTCC parts were readily available like this:- http://www.touringcarspares.com/

Hi guys, What's the smallest diameter alloy you can fit to a Mk2 ph2 clio? It's a 1.2? A friend of mine is planning on getting one this weekend, and wants to put 13's on, and then slam it. Possible?

Drove from Gatwick to Cardiff this morning to have my new exhaust fitted at pro-speed. Just like to say a big "Thank you" to Charlie and Simon for their work - it looks great (I'll post some pics soon) I've been driving round Cardiff & Bristol with a big grin all afternoon!!

I was in the flame red 172 going west bound this morning, you were going the other way.... Sorry I didn't flash you back, I only saw you at the last second! Matt

Going in on Weds 4th April for a cat back system. Having looked through previous posts on here, I've decided to go for the 3.5" slash cut, through the bumper look, rather than the stealth. Need to decide how loud I want it now i guess. I do quite a few miles, so don't want anything too...

Hi folks, Just had by BT home hub delivered, and I'm all set up with wireless. However, I have a 160Gb external hard drive that I use for MP3's etc, and was told there's a way to connect this to the USB port on the home hub, and then access the files on the hard drive wirelessly. This would be...

Hi folks, I've seen that some new mobile phone have support allowing you to post photos straight to a blog. I like the idea of this, but my phone doesn't have this built in. However, my mobile is a pocket PC device (running WM5), and i figured there must be a way to set this up. Anybody got...

Came onto the M1 going southbound, just before the roadworks at about 5.15 last night. Looked very tidy.

Just got back in the clio, and the temperature display is reading 22 degrees. It pretty quickly dropped to 19, but it's freezing outside!! The sensor is the bubble bit under the passenger side wing mirror AFAIK, so what's going on???

Very nice looking silver 172, lower than a terrier's c**k ;) Had trumpet for air intake in the lower grill. On the clockwise M25, bank holiday monday, about 6.45ish in the evening I followed you (Flame red 172) for a bit round by Heathrow until you turned off to go up M40. Just wanted to see...

Just looking to replace my front tyres and found a place on the internet which seems like good value... http://www.blackcircles.com/ £74 per corner, fitted for ContiSportContacts. Does this seem like a good deal? Anybody used this company before? Cheers Matt

Hi Folks, Found your web site and thought I'd say Hi. Just bought a Mk2 172, in red (not sure what the official colour is!). I'll try and sort out some pictures, but it's bog standard at the moment, so I guess you all know what it looks like! I think the first thing that needs to be changed...
