Lately i have the electrical warning light comming on when i start the 172, you know that yellow light in the centre of the dash.
Now ive only had it on 2 times, and when i turn off the car and restart it again the light's gone.
It starts and drives fine, the only thing i'e noticed is that it...
I got 2 sets of trackday rubber today, a set of Yoko advan A048 and a set of Kuhmo ecsta V700, both in 205-50/15 and medium compound.
I got both sets for free as the guy where they came from couldn't use them any more as they arent allowed in his class this year.
the advans are new, the kumo's...
A realy nice day today so i thought i'd take some pics, nothing fancy as i don't have SLR's and all that, only an LG viewty.
Anyways enjoy:D
And before anyone starts slating me because there are 17"erz on, this is how she looked before

I finally got myselve a cup spoiler
for which i paid the massive amount of 30£, chuffed isn't the word :D
came with brake light, washer jet and everything as it should:approve:
Now just need to get it sprayed pearl black
So this is how it goes, if i'm driving quite "spirited" and i take a left turn there's a hard knocking grinding noise comming from the right hand front wheel area.
If i'm just driving normally (slow) i can turn left and nothing happens.
The driveshaft on that side (right hand side) has just been...
Would 182 cup racer rears bolt straight on to a Mk2 Ph2 172?
And what about the fronts, guess those not as they normallt arn't the same, or am i wrong?
Please enlighten me
Since a few days ago my aux belt started squeeking, at first it was only on startup, but now it's also when the engine is warm.
Normally it should be replaced in 7K miles;
Am i right thinking i should replace it now, no mather how many miles i'm of the service interval.
Also, should i replace...
I am fitting omp strutbraces to my 02 172, the rear one went in without a prob, but the engine bay one doesnt want to fit properly.
It seems that the ecu bracket and another bracket a bit more to the front are in the way, so that the strutbrace won't sit totaly level on the strut tops.
I've...
Well, i had my clio serviced today, and as usual the the plate that's under the engine was full of oil and crap, so is the oil pan etc, oil from the allways leaking gearbox, nothinng major though, just normal leakage.
Anyways my mechanic cleans it all up nicely, then goes and gets a plastic tray...
I fitted my bucket seats in the weekend so i thought i'd share the pics i took.
Verry pleased with them, they are super comfy, and give support where they should.
Also they weigh next to nothing, about 6kg each.

My neighbour went to pick up his white R27 today, so a photoshoot with my 172 was in order.
So here are the pics, don't expect them to be professional or something, i only have a HP photosmart 5mp camera:o
Anyways here it goes
Tell me what you think:)
My Emissions light came on yesterday, so today i took the car to my dealer who resetted it.
The readout said something about the lambda sensor, which was normal i thought as i have a straight thru decat, however i have it on for about 2 months and this is the first time a light occured.
But...
As the title suggests, it's been 6 months now since i bought my '02 172, and i'm still loving it like the first day.
I've done about 12K miles so far and she hasn't missed a beat, and everything keeps on working fine.
I especially love the fact that it's a stealthy looking car, so not much...
I'm in the proces of ordering some coilovers for my mk2 172, but the more i look at different kits the more my mind gets farked up.
Can anyone tell me the diffrence between the Bilstein B14 kit K-tec is selling and the Bilstein PSS kit from GDI.
Imo they look the same:o, and the bilstein site...
When i drove on the motorway yesterday i noticed that there is a ticking noise comming from the passenger side (for me the driversside).
The ticking gets faster the faster i drive, it's not PRM related.
I thought it migt be the charcoal cannister but thats on the other side isn't it.
So do any...
I saw these for sale on one of our belgian auction sites and i just had to have em.
I know they look like sh1t, but when i'm done with them they will be like new, just don't know which colour.
I payed a grand total of 220 euros for them which i thought was a steal realy, as i was assured they...
Just lowered my ff and thought i'd post some pics up.
It's all covered in sahara dust wich came free with the rain the past few days, but for some reason i like dirty cars more:rasp:
anyways here she is
Hope you like

Hi i want to buy a decat, but i don't know which one to go for.
I want the car to be sounding a bit sporty'er but not bleeding ears sporty, need to be able to drive it on motorways.
I have a cat back K-tec ultra preformance zorst.
Car is a Mk2 Ph2 172.
So is the straight thru cat realy so loud...
When i start my car in the morning and engine is cold there is a sound like there is a bird wistling inside my engine bay, it goes away when the car gets a bit warm, but then it's replaced by a whinning (almost supercharger) sound, and it's doing my head in.
Are the aux belt tensioners to...
I'm after pics of modified black Ph2 172's.
Doesn't matter what's been done to it.
Because imo black Ph2 172's are the most difficult clio's to mod without something looking wrong or odd.
So please let me see what you all have been doing to your black ph slows.

Well as the title indicates, these are the first pics of my pearl black 172ff.
I'm in my third week of ownership now and i love the car to bits, it's a huge upgrade from my 1.5dci, which i offcourse still have because of cost related matters;)
Only mods so far are, K&N 57i, great sound but i've...
right, so yesterday i changed my 172FF's wheels, 16" OZ F1 for my 17" superleggera's.
With the F1's the car allways drove nice and straight, but now with the 17"s it pulls heavily to the right, dunno why.
On 16"s the car was fine, i put the 17" under it, drive off my driveway and i immediately...
Want to know what views on those are on here, ever heard of them?...
I know they were used here in belgium and in france on the 172 cup racers but that's all.
I can imagine they are noisy;), hard to find and probably damn expensive too...
So does anybody have any more info on them?
Having a few problems with my 02 172ff, it's on 55k, all services have been done when they should.
So here it goes...
problem1: exterior temp sensor is allways indicating 25-26c°, although its freezing outside.
problem2: fog lamps don't work anymore and the light on the dash for them doesnt...
hi, can anyone post some pics of clio cup racers engine bays.
I'm in search of some ideas for my induction, because i don't want an itg or bmc-cda, i want something different:o
thanks
So i mean are there 2.0 sports without let's say varable valve control, or any other stuff that decreases the bhp.
I'm asking because here in belgium we have sports in 163, 166, 172 and 182bhp versions, the 163 and 166 verions are there because you have to pay a lot less takses for them about...
hey
Some guy near me is selling a set of white toora competitzione's, and I think I will be buying them, as they are rare, light and strong.
So what is the view you guys on here have on those wheels, are they any good, how will they look on a clio...?
anyways here they are
hey hey
As it's been since i first joined you lot on here that i have posted some pics of my car, i thought it was about time to do so again.
Sorry to all cleaning addicts on here:o, but i couldn't be bothered with cleaning it as it is just going to rain instantly after i wash my car, it...
