Some sound deadening of the boot floor and tailgate also works wonders.

I never did a direct comparison vs OEM NVH levels but I seem to remember it was dramatically better than the power flex that was in previously. One thing, they were leagues ahead in terms of build quality vs OEM.

Lol at @Louis, 😅 She certainly wasn’t a garage queen and I tried to prolong it as much as possible. Even with those rear qtrs coated in Hydrate 80, full of BH Electrox zinc coating and Dynax, I guess it only prevents the inevitable if the cars are used. Interesting you’re finding the rear...

I had a PMS with decat and a stock cat. The stock cat is already a high flow cat so I don’t personally see any reason to fit an aftermarket sports cat.

i swapped the whole lot including the 197/200 master cylinder. Big improvement in feel and stopping power. Full PMS 280mm 2 piece kit with Pagid RSL29. Its worth noting I had RSL29s in the stock calipers too.

That comment aged well, ultimately i also fitted the PMS 280mm 2 piece Brembo kit lol

Tasteful change mate, nicely done. :)

Get the speakers mounted solid and add the mini Focal amp. I had one in my 182 glove box and coupled to my Alpine HU, it drives them really well. Some pics of my install when I did it. It’s a 450W 4 ch amp that fits in the palm of your hand!

Apart from the charger, have you been able to use it yet?

Wonder if he fancies a straight swap with a LY Megane 300 Trophy? :D

It wouldn't cost much to be fabricated.

Make your own brackets mate, theyre only a single bolt AFAIK.

The issue with having a fabric/strap-mounted receiver is its a pain to plug the belt in as you're forced to hold the receiver with your other hand. This can be awkward. Always use a firm cable or suitable bracket-mounted receiver if possible.

Personally if you’re going to the effort to overhaul a beam. That’s the way I’d go. Less stuff hanging off the car too.

Personally I much preferred the design and location of the PMS bar. The Whiteline always looks like a cheap afterthought IMO. Just my thoughts, entirely your choice mate. The WL is certainly much easier to remove at a later date. Maybe ask yourself what you want from the car and if you feel...

Came up last time I checked but I’ll call RPD or similar and reconfirm its fitment. Last check in 2015 it was £650 plus VAT. 😂 Thanks for the estimate on arms too. Perhaps I’ll sit on em for another 10 years and cash em in as a pension.

Haha, might do that. I'll have to make it £2k if they want both sides :D

Thats odd, works for me. Yes its the complete linkage, both parts with both ends to attach to the linkage on the box and the bottom of the shifter.

I still have this if you need it. https://cliosport.net/threads/genuine-renault-complete-gear-linkage-shift-tube-%C2%A360.851159/

Odd one I guess as it’s not a car, but I’ve been sifting through some odds and ends I have collected over the years and found a pile of new bits a pieces. All of this has been wrapped and boxed in the roof of the garage. Some of which is NLA. One item is a genuine 172 (and 182 I believe) new...

Cheap IMO. Thats a dream spec car. Right colour, right spec, right mods.

Granted I’m bias, but go drive one and you’ll know why you want one. They drive like nothing else I’ve driven. Better than a 981 to drive imo and more exciting than the 718 GT4 and Spyders I’ve tried too. The newer cars are in a different league when comparing their refinement, cabin and spec...

Had mine for 8 years now - C16 UK car, manual, carbon buckets, short shifter, extended alcantara trim, sport chrono and a few mods to make it a bit quicker on track. Only 350bhp but 1290kg and it drives like nothing else. There’s nothing short of a GT3 I’d trade it for.

Dont suppose you caught the reg? Only a handful in Peridot with PCCBs too.

Cobra Nogaro worth a look

Not familiar mate, which one?

Turbo kit would certainly offset a good chunk of it.

I know what you mean, but if you think about anyone in for a 200bhp turbo hot hatch at £7k, they will all go Mk7 Fiesta ST. Faster (in most cases), more developed chassis, newer, more reliable, blah blah blah. I was always tempted to turbo my 182 but after driving a few, it just wasn't for me...

Probably the price and that 99.99% of Clio owners want to buy second hand wipers and pre owned pollen filters. Everyone else at that money will just be buying a Fiesta ST.

Lads been selling it forever with numerous attempts. I think he's poured a few quid in it, but a niche car as all turbo Clios are.
