Saw a black 182 drive through McDonalds, wondered if its anyone off here? I was in a 172 cup parked up stuffing my face with chicken nuggets!

As per my thread below, i have just got back from my 21st bday present which was a trackday at Bedford Autodrome. Well what can i say other than the trackday was awesome! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?541540-Bedford-Track-Day I drove the following cars: Clio 197 Cup Racer...

Hi all, just wondering what ideas people have. I recently bough a Janspeed twin pipe exhaust for my 172 cup (second hand). The exhaust sounds great at doesnt blow etc, however the backbox just droops down about 2 inches under the bumper. The rear hanger is a bit shot but even with a new...

Hi, I am going to replace my engine and gearbox mounts with standard items. What i would like to know is i have seen these available on k-tecracing.com as "standard replacements". now my first question is has anyone tried these? only reason i am interested is because they are so much cheaper...

Hi all, I am going to look at a 172 cup tonight which has a reported knocking problem when stationary and turning the wheel left to right. Now its been on a ramp and the track rod ends and steering arms look ok! I think it might be the rack! Now most people would walk away but the buyer said...

Just want to know the general sense of opinion..... The two following options could be a possibility for me at the start of next year. Buy a reasonably low mileage 172/182 and spend a bit of money kitting it out, ie remap, coilovers, exhaust etc etc. The car would be owned outright. Take out...

Well after deciding to try and save myself some money i looked into selling my Phase 1 172. I had always said to myself that if im to "downgrade" to anything then its only to be a 106 Gti. Fortunately for me i found a guy who happened to be on the search for a RS and had a Gti to sell. To cut...

Spotted you going through Storrington at about 11:30ish. Always know its you because you have a 3/4 size numberplate i think?

Ok so there is no way am i paying this... where can i order some oem spark plugs for a decent price? Thanks

Was fortunate enough on the weekend to meet a lad off here who owns a ph1 vee. I had some bits which we traded etc and he took me for a spin in it etc. Top bloke and was keen to tell me all about it! well what can i say other than i WANT WANT WANT. such a great looking car, road presence is...

as above, i am just curious as to whether or not this could look any good? my car is dropped on sportlines so they could look quite nice and fit snug or they could look completely gash! lol any pics or opinions? i have tried searching but no luck! Thanks

As above, i own a ph1 172 and earlier i took a ph2 for a drive. FIRST thing i noticed was the "lack" in response when putting my foot down. I know people say theres hardly any difference but seriously there is. Other than that i preffered being in the phase 2, nicer place to be etc although...

Saw you drive into the village... was stuck behind a lorry think you spotted me. You have a private plate which was the first thing i noticed lol

Never driven a ph2 and i guess im sitting here wondering if the grass is greener on the other side!? i do really like my Ph1 and it is a tidy car but im one of those people who gets bored quickly and likes change! :) What are peoples views on this? Cheers

Hi, I have just bought what i believe is a Mk1 k-tech slealth exhaust for my Ph1 172. i bought the exhaust off a member on here and it arrived today and appears to be in excellent condition! still very shiny lol my question is this.... the exhaust bracket on this is completely different to...

As above, we noticed eachother and waved lol

As above, i have tried almost everything. I have soaked them for hours in WD40 and tried another oil. I have used a deep socket with alen key (levering against eachother etc). THEY WILL NOT BUDGE! why the hell do garages do them up so darn tight! what can i do as im changing my springs...

As the title goes..... which is better? would i see any gains from changing my original box to the BMC? Thanks :)

As above, 2 lads in the car... looked and sounded sweet

As some of you may know i have had problems trying to find this blasted knocking from the O/S front. BUT...... i think iv found the problem! Im pretty sure my drivers side lower balljoint has seen better days but would just like confirmation of "worn" balljoint signs. The passenger side lower...

Im pretty sure that my O/S lower arm needs replacing as i have bad clunking noises when traveling over uneven ground. on smoth roads its not really a problem. The N/S lower arm was replaced only a few months back. since then i have had both inner steering arms replaced also. Now i have had the...

Just a general question... want to know if anyone has tried these and/or what they think? http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2000/p/Car-Parts/Suspension-and-Steering/Suspension/Lowering-Springs Thanks

I will cut to the chase.... (i dont have windscreen cover btw so am paying cash) My windscreen got a large chip which has now turned into a crack (large crack). bottom line of this is it now needs to be replaced. Obviously the clio sport has Auto Wipers. The company i am going through cant get...

When i brake a little harder (usual when coming to a stop) i get a horrible vibration type noise coming from what i can only imagine is the ABS system? I know you can feel/hear when ABS kicks in but this is seriously not rite. doesnt really effect the actual braking in anyway just doesnt sound...

Rite so i have finnaly got round to booking to have all 4 wheels professionally refurbed at a place near me. This will consist of acid stripping, shot blasting, repairing any damage (curbing etc), and powdercoating. The thing is what colour do i go for!? Im most tempted to keem them standard...

Basically i obtained a quote from Brentacre but forgot to ask them if there is an increase for paying it monthly rather than in one lump sum. If anyone else is with Brentacre could you confirm if there is an increase and whether its a sizable one etc? i would call them now but they are shut...

My 15" o.z F1`s badly need refurbing as whoever owned the car before me has curbed them up a treat! there is no major damage to any of the wheels, just curbing and slightly coroded surface etc. I would ideally take the wheels off and take them to the company but i cant afford to have my car...

My bloody car keeps knocking from the NSF! I posted a thread in the suspension section a few weeks back and have taken my car to the garage who have told me they cannot find the answer to the knocking! i mean wtf. Its at SLOW speeds irrespective of turning or going over any big bumps etc and...

As above... thinking of buying some this weekend as i have planned to get some from day one to improve looks and handling but also to hopefully help solve my current suspension problem! (see thread lol). Any pics would be great just so i can get an idea looks wise :) Thanks in advance
