Hi there, I have both a 172 and 1.2 8v clio, I've been thinking about making the 1.2 more of a fun ride, but still keeping decent mpg. Now the mk4 clio do the 1.2 tce engine, the engine seems to be much of a replica to what in mine. So im thinking adding the turbo to reach 100bhp, may consider...

Hi all, I have a question which ive searched and unable to find the answer to. I have a 1.2 2000 clio and a 172 2000. As the 172 is off the road at the moment, I have a spare set of dual optics I originally bought for the 1.2, now rather than buying the h4 - h3/7 converters for £35. Can i just...

Was driving my newly purchased 172 home, knowing the engine was slightly f*cked i thought it would make it all the way! So driving down the M6 and the engine rattle got worse, until a massive bang, coolant and oil shot everywhere. Big chunk of metal and whatever else was there shot through the...

Hi everyone, I have recently bought myself a clio 172 as a donor car for my 1.2. I had full intention of converting my 1.2 into a 1*2 with possible turbo conversion in time. If you've seen my car already I have full 172 kit on. Now I have them both in the garage, the 172 is spot on, bar some...

Hi all, My car is currently off the road so some major work is going to be going down on it soon. It currently stands as a 1.2 8v. But im going to be doing a engine conversion in time. So I want to upgrade the brakes, after some consideration i'm going to leave drums on the back as the costs...

Im thinking of doing a conversion from my 1.2 8V to the 1.2 16v TCE. Now both engines looking pritty much the same. My question is are the mounts the same from a 2005-present as mine 2000 mk2. I dont need people saying its a pointless swap, because its effiencient, good mpg and a small bost in...

Hi all, im wanting to upgrade my 1.2 8v brakes as im ongoing the 172 conversion. im gonna go for the 2.0 1*2 calipers. Now would the fitment be the same to attatch the caliper to the hub? or would new hibs be needed?

Recently i noticied my coolant levels kept dropping, ive refilled and bled the system like 5/6 times this week. I first thought it was a air lock, but now noticied coolant is leaking everywhere from back of engine quite fast. ive checked all the pipes i can see and they arnt leaking, its...

So dont recall seeing a thread like this, so thought i'd make one. So you think you have a unique mod on your clio? Share it with us, i'm keen to see what we have got going. I'l start it off, i know it's only a sticker but never seen anyone else with one on. "Snap Off Because It's French"

Okay so I maybe breaking up a megane coupe 1.6 16v and i noticied the brake sie is considerably bigger. mine currently been 238mm and that been 280mm. the caliper piston is the exact same size, but would the mountin bolts line up with the holes?

Hey, so first off I have changed the clinder over on the rear drum, by doing so it has let air into the system so the brakes need bleeding. So my question is not how to bleed the brakes, but when im pumping the pedal, on the cyclinder i changed over, the brake fluid doesnt seem to be coming out...

hey, so thinking of upgrading my brakes.. Could someone tell me the difference between 8v and 16v valve brakes, i know 16v are vented and 8v solid, but are there any size difference in calipers/pads? if not what would you recomened for a straight swap plug n play?

Hey guys, i'm in process of adding full 172 kit to my X reg clio. Was testing out side skirts to make sure they fit, but where they should attach to the cars frame seems to be to close to the edge for the skirt to sit fully back. hard to explain, but anyone had this problem, or suggestions...

So I've decided to go down the route of the 172. I know people say it's not worth the money etc. etc. I honeslty dont care, with a claim against my name, and a young driver, it expesive enough insuring a 1.2. I want the looks not the speed! so think before you post. The car is a 1.2 MK2 PH1...
