Hi mates. I’ve been offered a clio mk2 cup car. This is not a street car conversion, but an actual cup car. The price is extremely reasonable too. I’m asking for some help here in regards of what I should be looking for in regards of car health or history. I have a few straight up...

Reason Im asking is that Ive just came across this thing on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/nissan-sr20-intake-manifold-for-sunny-pulsar-gti-r-/271351758885?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f2dd34025&vxp=mtr#ht_1143wt_1179 I know it's for the SR20 engine, but if you look closely...

I was wondering. Clio race cars (172/182) were supposed to put out 200 BHP with stock internals, correct? These were supposed to be the exact same internals of their current-day production cars. So.. why do we struggle so much to get that extra 30 bhp on a regular production car?? Im sure...

I have an awful clacking sound under acceleration, particulary when I floor it . The sound dissapears at around 4K revs. Odd thing is, I get this sound in 1st, second, and 3rd gear. So, after 2 hours of using the search button, I come to 2 possible conclusions: 1.- Dephaser.- I don't really...

I recently jacked up my car, only to discover that the rubber boot that covers the aux bearing is missing. What the heck is that bearing for anyway? Can it be replaced, or is it new driveshaft time?

ok, just wanted to let you guys know. I had this issue with my clio where the revs would would be jumping from 1k to 2k constantly. The car would sometimes stick to 2k rpm on idle. Now and then, it would pop the pp120 MIL code and go into limp mode and emissions light would come on. The fault...

Ok, so it all started a couple of weeks ago, some 400 kilometers away from home. I was doing some highway driving when the car started hitting the limiter at 6000 revs. Actually it started as a judder, kinda like a misfire, but not quite, as I tried to overtake another car. I did some tests and...

just wanna let you all chaps know, the OEM HT leads for the vr6 are made by BERU. BERU makes the OEM HT leads for the clio. There is a slight differennce between the cables but I assure that they work perfectly, and at a fraction of the price (I paid some 30 quid for my set). The mate that...

Anyone has one? I´d really appreciate it. Heres what's happening: 1.-The button on the driver´s side that controls the passenger window got stuck on "up", meaning that I cant lower the passenger window. 2.- I removed the switch (drivers side), and sure enough, the "passenger side" button is...

Basically, how can I get this sound out of my 172? The closest thing ive heard was a clio race car. Anyway, anyone care to share how to get this noise out of a clio? I'm betting it feels like 700 bhp just from the noise. cheers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAXGuD_f3Kw

So I hooked up my 172 to a live data scanner to check my lambdas (I ran a spark plug non-fouler in 2nd lambda and wanted to make sure I was getting the right readings to fool the ecu, it worked BTW). Anyway, as I was scrolling through the live data, I noticed that the engine load at idle was...

Hi mates. I noticed that my ph2 172's aux tensioner (the one with the big spring, PITA to change) is bent towards the back of the engine, but not enough to rub against the aux belt yet. Just last month I took the car to a specialist to get the cambelt done, and noticed the bent tensioner a...

So i changed the PAS return line and the whining has been reduced, but it;s still there. Been reading about the options: - Remove PAS - Electric PAS But... is there a better pump available for the 1X2???? I mean, a lot of other old cars dont ever whine!

Last night I took a wheel off (was changing the reverse switch) and well, my pads are stamped Ferodo - Renault. What pads are these?

Im getting a new return line for my 172, I've had enough whining! Anyway, the shop that's making me the new PAS line told me to bring in my old one and they'll take it from there (basically I'll just make it wider and round out the bends). Anyway, anyone got a pic of exactly where to undo the...

Cheers to all from the other side of the pond. I'm having a very strange issue with my 172. If I floor the accelerator pedal, in any gear, the car Hits a sort of limiter at 6000 revs. However, the car will go past 6000 all the way to 7km where the usual limiter is, if I dont give her full...

So.. I'be been searching the forum but found really no answer about how to decode the NGK part numbers. Basically I am trying to find out which plugs across the whole NGK range fit the 1*2. I'll be buying a set of each (copper and iridium IX, to begin with, car has the reno branded laser iridium...

Hiya guys.. It turns out that here in mexico the 888 toyos (race tyres) can be had for the same price as the tr1s or the proxes. Well, maybe 10 quid extra per tyre. Right now my car is sitting on px4s (pretty good because it's always dry here, pretty bad in the uk i guess) but they wear pretty...

Hiya everyone. I thought you might find this interesting... or maybe everyone knew except me! Anyway, I was trying to get some sportline springs (the eibach factory is in california, my side of the pond). Much to my surprise, it turns out they have to be shipped from germany! Since sachs does...

Hiya fellas. So most of you have seen the metal undertay (or skid guard, like we call it in america) that the non RS clios have. Has anyone tried fitting that into the 1?2? Those plastic underbits look pretty flimsy, dont they?

Hi everyone. I've been searching around the forum and I can't seem to find the answer. Anyway, does Sachs/Boge makes the oem shocks for the 172? I believe it was De Carbon who made the R5 and williams shocks, but then reno switched to Sachs/Boge on the 172? I'm trying to get a hold of oem...

Hi everyone. Here's the thing.. Labour is very cheap in Mexico, as well as garret turbochargers, so I can get one fitted to my 172 for the equivalent on 500 quid, intercooler and all. Don't picture a ghetto setup (I know, for this price i would picture that if I were brit!), it's just that...

Hi there guys, greetings from the other side of the pond. Anyway, my 172 (non cup) is acting funny. I´m getting a hissing sound on second and fourth gear only. I´ve ruled out input and output bearings as the noise is limited to those two gears. Gear linkage is ruled out as well since fourth...

Hi mates! Yup, another mexican joining the forum! (paid membership, btW!:D). Anyway, I'm from the northernmost part of Mexico, the state of Chihuahua. Ever heard of the copper canyon? Yup, that'd be my territory. Anyway, my main car is a clio '04 172 (non cup) in Iceberg Bue:evil:. It came with...
