Probably a noob question but if you have a ph1 172 shell can you put ph2 wings and lights on and bumpers etc or not? Thanks :)

No one makes a subframe for the 197. and i want recaro buckets lol. Could 182 owners with recaro buckets and subframes, measure the distances between all the holes on their subframes? (thinking about it, just anyone with a 182, could they measure the holes in the floor pan for their seats?)...

what rate springs do people run in their cars? post up front and rear rates, and whether the car is a track machine, or road car. I know the clio cup uses 75n/mm fronts and 130n/mm rears, and just trying to understand how that compares to "daily drivers" and track cars on here. Also, do...

Ok, so still unsure as to coilovers blah blah blah. Car is a Clio 197. I notice Kam Racing list Sportline II and Sportline I kits. Now there is only 70quid difference between the two kits. The sportline I are 1,489 (without top mounts) and the Sportline II are 1,552 without top mounts...

not sure if i can ask here? but hopefully i can as i really need my car fixed. Reversed into another car in the 197 and now need my rear bumper fixing and spraying. luckily the carbon diffuser was untouched. nearest renault approved place is Wyndon Motors ( http://www.wyndonmotors.co.uk/ )...

Worth it on a track based 197? i am always a bit confused by the front ARB. a few 106 mates runs without one, and just uber hard springs for hill climbs etc. Having coilovers fitted, so wondered whether it was worth getting a Clio Racer front ARB at the same time? anyone care to explain...

went out tonight to take some pics of the car. annoyingly forgot i still had it on ISO400 so a bit grainy :( enjoy

A couple of people on here already have these, but i dont care lol. matte black, oz ultraleggera. just picked them up today, 8x17, et55. Love them! they look great. Not sure when i will get round to fitting them, but heres some pics for now anyway: ps...

Still searching for some coilovers for the 197. I have been looking at the KW v3 kit, but fancied something more track, less road. Spoke to AST about their kit, which sounds very good, and features an actual rear coilover unit, rather than a seperate damper and spring. Only issue is i...

I want some wheels for my 197, either 17s or 18s and ideally 8" wide. Trouble is the 197 has a stupid 5x108 pcd and i cant find much other than turinis or oz wheels and i was after something a little different. found some nice 7.5x18 wheels but they are offset 38mm (30mm wider than oe, so...

anyone ever used these guys or heard of them? They run a few race renaults and are based near me so thought they would be good for fitting and setting up my ast coilovers on my 197. Heard a few negative things about powerstation so fancy getting them setup somewhere else. Cheers.

Did this yesterday, so thought i would upload the pics. bought these off ebay for £20, they are the trim pieces from the ripcurl clio etc, that have silver trim. Fitting was really simple, and another example of how well put together the clio is. remove the old and the whole piece comes...

Just wondering what people think to them? was speaking to them at powerstation the other day about a set for the 197. how have people found them for road and track use? reliable? worth the money? anyone forked out for the remote reservoir setup? cheers

Ok, been looking at a new set of wheels for the 197. want something racer inspired, not necessarily a rally wheel, but something purposeful and hardcore lol. looked at turini's, they are being released in 8x17 for the 197 soon, in anthracite and white. also thought about some nice...

Ok, as it was sunny, thought i would actually try and give the car a proper clean. Had the car 6 months and only really given it bucket and sponge washes. So, out came the two buckets, the megs wash mitt and a big box of assorted AG goodies. first up, check the car over: grubby roof lines...

yep. Went to streamline after work and merv and bic fitted it for me. I knew it would be a quality part but i am still blown away. Its a work of art lol. The attention to detail is amazing. Fits like a dream and retains the heatshield. Words cannot describe how happy i am with it lol. Its...

Ok, i know GDi have a kit, but i was asking loads of questions on ben's loom thread, so thought i would start my own instead. If i want to go for throttle bodies on my 197 what should i be looking at? i was going to go for 45mm jenvey SF's, but i know of other people running 50mm on 2.0litre...

My thread about slicks got deleted, dont know why, think it was because it was a for sale type thread. Hopefully this wont be the same thing as just wanted to let people know about a new wheel. Was speaking to Speedline about an 8 x 17 inch turini yesterday. This is a wheel that is...

Anyone on here got a longmans built clio engine? I have got a lot of respect for their work (having seen what they can do with peugeot engines) and wondered what they were capable of with a clio engine? Its probably a way off but ultimately i would like to get my 197 down to them for...

Soooooooo excited. Just spoke to the guys at Streamline and have paid for my carbon fibre clio 197 diffuser. This will be the first one ever made. You probably know what streamline are capable of, and this will be no exception. The full works, 100% pre preg f1 grade carbon, fully 2k...

because i need help!! with the OE leads, then the adapter cable, and the stereo etc there is no way the wires are all going back in!! Anyone fitted one in a clio3? any help?

ok, as this is pretty much the only forum i HAVENT yet put pics up on lol. thought i had better intoduce myself and my car. I bought an FF 197 in albi blue on Saturday. Its standard apart from cup pack and now an ITG filter (more to follow) I am very very happy. I was worrying i would regret...
