Ok cool :)

Ah no, that's so annoying, I was really tempted to buy it and so wish I had now :( On a serious note, when I traded it in at Gatwick Honda 2 years ago, it was due a cam belt change. I have no idea if it has been done since so I would check but if no paperwork then I would get it done ASAP.

Hiya, You must be the person who bought it from Ebay if the reg is LN02 YAN. This was my old car and yes I did look after it. When I traded it in, it also had a wheel brace and jack :) I was going to buy it back from Ebay but I was worried about the knocking noise the Ebay seller had put in the...

Oh, not good. Can you not go back to your mechanic friend and speak to him? How long had he had the car for?

Found out the car is SORN so at least it's not scrapped. I wonder if it's a track car now.

Wow, that is mad. I actually sold the Civic Type R the other week and despite being my daily hack and having suffered multiple track days, the new owner said it was the nicest one he had ever seen and then sent me a message when he got home to say it drove like new. I guess I just look after my...

Hehe thank you. We really did look after the car. Would love to know where it is now.

This was me all those years back :)

That was me, probably popping in to Argos or Halfords to get cleaning stuff :)

Hi guys, this was my wife's old car. She did indeed part exchange it at Gatwick Honda for a Civic Type R. She actually hated the Clio but loved my Scooby WRX so we swapped. I looked after the Clio and loved it but due to a change in career, I needed something a bit bigger and why the swap for...

Two white Clio's (197's I think) parked up next to each other in Sainsbury's car park in Watchmoor Park, Camberley tonight at around 7.30pm.

Lovely Clio Cup parked in the Baxter Storey carpark that is currently at the Compton Lab in Compton. I have parked my Type R next to you :)

Blue 172 Cup this morning at around 8.00am. You came from Fleet direction, into Hartley Whitney and then on the road that takes you towards Reading. I noticed you had a Cliosport sticker in your drivers side rear window. It looks like you had 182 wheels also. I was behind in the grey Civic Type R.

Your car is stunning. See it there a few times.

Saw you waiting at the roundabout and you then headed towards Aldershot.I was in the flame red 172 and I did nod and wave but not sure you saw. Your car looked ace.

Very nice liquid yellow 182 parked at the top of the car park in Sainsburys Watchmoor Park in Camberley on Thursday 7th June. Seen it in there before also.

Thanks Mark. Yep exactly how I plan on doing it. The aircon will be useful to have as like you say, I will miss it on a hot day and losing 11kg by removing it is not really going to make me any faster on track. I will keep the wheels as they are but if I get some spare cash then maybe I will...

I think it helped that my wife who used to do the odd trackday in the Elise said out of the blue that she really fancied driving Brands again. That was a big green light for me :clap:

Yeah, I wish we would get some new tracks also. In fact I would love Turn 10 to do a trackday DLC containing the following, KTM Xbow Caterham R500 Ariel Atom Renaultsport Spider Lotus 340R (To go with the 2-Eleven and Elise we already have) Noble M400 Brands Hatch (GP and Indy) Oulton Park...

Thanks again for the advice. The Clio is now booked in to have the Cambelt and Auxiliary belts done. So she looks to be a keeper for now :)

Thanks for the replies guys. Just to add that if I did sell the Clio, the profit from it (£500 - £700) is not needed to go towards the new car. I would be looking at buying possibly a Megane 225 Cup out of redundency from my last job and my new job (If I get it) could see me visiting suppliers...

My 2002 flame red Clio 172 is amazing. Only has 73K on the clock and drives like a dream. Has been super reliable with only a few small issue with the biggest being a leaking radiator which I had replaced. Condition inside is mint and still has the original Renaultsport mats, stereo, CD (CD part...

Nope save your money for your new car.

I got F1 2010 and F1 2011 and enjoyed both titles. However I found that I did not play F1 2011 that much as the loading times were just too painful. Plus the concrete bollards and polystyrene brake boards that totally destroyed the car if you clipped them just killed it for me. I know you have...

The red 172 in the first couple of pictures, do you know springs are on it as it looks a lot lower than my red 172?

Keep it coming guys, its gone a bit quiet. I'll even offer s**tting on my bonnet if it helps :cool:

Thanks very much for the replies :)

Ok thanks guys. What is the ballpart figure to get this work done? Apart from Rentech in Portsmouth, any Renault specialists closer to me in Camberley who are recommended?

The previous owner of my Ph2 172 had the cambelt changed at 49k miles back in March 2007. Five years on and the mileage is now 71k so 21k more. When should I think about getting the belts changed? The reason I ask is I know some manufacturers specify a mileage or period, depending on what comes...

For me, as budget is tight, I could not afford the perfect setup. I am just looking at something to just improve the handling over the OEM springs and read a lot on here about the Eibach Pro springs being an improvement. If I do go for anything, then it would probably be Pro although I will...
