Hi ya, I'm wondering if anyone can help.
At a trackday last year the car started pushing 100ml of oil into the catch tank over the course of each 15 minute session.
At normal driving speeds the car pushed 0ml of oil out (tested over 300 miles).
After a long period of doing nothing I finally...
I did a trackday at Goodwood this weekend. Fortunatly the weather was great, so we were very lucky. I'm starting to find a few pics online - as usual I left the camera at home!
Many thanks to Jason Cornish for the pic!
I bought this car in September 2003 brand new.
152k later (and feeling slightly sorry for itself) it's back in the family. Big thats to Andyrg for all his help.
My Dad is going to spend some time putting it back to standard and cleaning it up a bit and then do a few trackdays in it. I'm...
Does anyone know the internal diameter of the fuel pipe going to the fuel rail and also the length of the pipe from the bulkhead to the rail? I want to order up a piece of braided pipe to replace the OE pipe thats been cut and joined.
If anyone has any suggestions on the best place to order...
The 197 had out-stayed it's welcome somewhat, so after I got it MOT'd I stuck it up for sale. All was quiet for a week or so and then a guy showed some interest. We agreed a price and he drove up for somewhere and took it away. Wasn't even fussed about driving it. I then got another two guys...
I changed the rear disks on the 197 at the weekend. It all went fairly smoothly except the offside rear caliper was an arse to wind back in, so I managed to use a screwdriver and a hammer to move it back in enough to clear the pads and disks.
I've noticed the disks are getting really hot on...
Is there a sure fire way to tell the difference between 172 and 197 cams?
I just want to check the cams I've got are actually from a 197.
The numbers I can make out are (though its really hard to read them):
Exhaust:
F4r r194
243 23h23
Inlet:
F4r a 318
E06 11h45
Cheers
When the itb's got fitted the clip that plugs into the renault fuel rail got cut off flush with the metal insert in the pipe (just behind the clip). I want to go back to the renault fuel rail so I've bought 2 new clips from Ktec.
My issue here is that the metal insert is now flush with the end...
Total disaster!
I had high hopes for a day's lapping, especially after the recent upgrades. Sadly the car decided to develop a nasty misfire/stutter in the morning. We tried in vain to sort it all out, but we didn't manage to sort it. I'd packed up and left by about 2.30pm. I managed one half...
I've been on here years but I've never paid any attention to the topic of decats, however I need one for the track car.
It's the later twin barrel/lambda setup on a ph1, so i assume a ph2 172 decat will fit fine.
Save paying Ktec £118, is there a cheaper alternative? I'm loathed to pay that...
My sump has developed a slow weep from it for some reason, so we'll be changing the gasket next weekend. I have a feeling the bolts were done up too tight and its developed the leak after about 2k miles of fairly hard use.
I was going to go and buy a few spare renault bolts but they are...
Just a heads up:
Popped in at lunch to order a touch up stick and it turns out the paint is no longer available from Renault. Crazy!
Luckily the parts guy spoke to their paint guy and made me a pot up which was really good of him (Renault Durham).
I've been meaning to sort this for ages, but I'm after someone knowledgable to point me in the right direction. I'm after a Cup racer style inlet pipe that will allow the airbox to be mounted sideways. It's for a PH1 though, so i need it to have a take-off for the ICV pipe to go into it. Any...
Just a quick picture from the weekend. Comes as no surprise that one of them's got the bonnet up.
The 172 started on the first turn of the key as well. Surprised me a lot. It's only run for 5 minutes since August and hasn't moved at all in that time. I'm pretty sure the next time it'll come...
I couldn't get the rear brakes to release this morning (yes I'd left the handbrake on...). The handbrake released, or the lever went down, but nothing moved. 2 jugs of warm water later I was away.
The handbrake lever is now really loose, the handbrake works, but only right at the top of the...
Travelled down to Goodwood at the weekend for a 'glorious' trackday.
Spent the day chasing some nice machinery. Had a great time and the Clio behaved itself perfectly.

Thanks to all of you who donated prizes and bought raffle tickets on Saturday. I'm happy to announce that the total we raised from the raffle and the sale of the doughnuts is an amazing £589, which will all be donated to the Macmillan charity, a cause close to ClioSports hearts.
Big thanks also...
Hi guys. In a rush my car was fitted with new rear disks without abs rings. The ABS and Serv lights appeared as expected.
600 miles later I fitted new ABS rings and i've done 200 miles since. The lights are still on.
They went off one morning when i started the car but appeared about 5 meters...
OK, so start the car and it idles spot on.
Touch the throttle, drive away etc then come to a junction, or anything and the car idles at 2000 rpm (maybe more). Occasionally it settles at 1500rpm and then 'hunts' and will rev between 1500 and 2000. If you then stab the throttle the idle settles...
Hi everyone.
Due to the windy conditions today we've not been able to set the stand up as we'd like, so we're going to do it in the morning. Therefore it'd be really appreciated if you could arrive after 8 if possible.
We will be there from 7, so it's not the end of the world, but your...
