clio

I'm thinking of having some engine upgrades for my Clio 172 MK1 -00 with F4R-730 engine. Possible upgrades I think of is: - 13-row Oilcooler kit with Thermostat and oiltemp+oilpressure outlets - Matched intake manifold - 4-2-1 Exhaust manifold - Decat - Perf. Camshaft (if I haven't already got...

After a number of years on the forum picking up lots of useful information and reading many impressive project threads I thought I would start a thread on our rally car build. A bit of background to how we got here. I bought a cat D 172 cup about 5 years ago as a runabout and trackday toy but...

Hey all. Well well well, I went and bought a new car on Wednesday (08 June)! I put a note on said car I've had my eye on for quite a while, basically saying "I've got a 172, looking to buy a 182, would you consider selling yours?" Differently worded I admit but you get the message. Much to my...

Spotted a gorgeous PH1 172 in Liquid Yellow coming off the m27 going into Southampton, headed off Eastleigh Way. Had a private registration and the chap driving gave me a wave in my Iceberg 182.....If you see this or know who this is, let me know! I need a cruise buddy!

Hey, new to using this but had a look before posting so I apologise if you've seen it all before. I have a clio 1.5 dci 106 gt which I've started modifying. I'm now stuck in regards to body kit / bumper alterations as my current didn't survive a fight with a badger :disrelieved: I'm really...

Posting on behalf of a mate who recently got his first car (clio mk2 1.2 16v) hes fitted some alloys and a straight through hoffman exhuast and now he wants to lower it because the arch gap is huge, his question is where do you recomend buying springs/coilovers on a budget? Hes not looking to...

Hi guys im new to this thread ive recently picked up a Clio mk3 and wanting to get the sx body kit where is the best place to get one thanks in advance. Luke

Around 6:30 this evening, saw you buzzing around the island for the shell garage. You came down the queslett road and then off up the Chester road. Anyone on here? Car looked smart.

Well here she is... My dci dynamique! Currently lowered on 40mm springs and a full 182 Sport Interior. Getting a super cheap yellow tint for the fog lights, Looking for an RS grille but they're like 70 quid :o May be getting different wheels soon so any recommendations would be appreciated...

Ok so I have a Clio mk1 a 96regards and I really need help with the suspension because it's horrendous... Body roll on corners I feel like I'm on a boat but can't find were to get it sorted. Any help please?

Just wondering if anyone know whether a 225 alternator will fit onto the 197. I've been told it does and I can get hold of one much easier than I can a 197 item. Anyone? @Scrooge @Budgie

Hello Everyone, After passing my driving test a couple of weeks ago I was eager to buy a vehicle like most people after passing their test. I managed to get myself a cheap runner for driving to college for only £300 and with only 65k on the clock. I know the car isn't the best bodywork wise but...

Here is an interesting video I saw on Youtube of many generations of Clio battling it out:

Recently I have been given a Clio 1.5 dci. Its the 65 version, I originally owned a 206 but my mother gave me opportunity to have the Clio whilst she was buying a new golf. I took this opportunity and sold my 206. So I now owned a Renault Clio 1.5 dci 52 plate it sits with 90,000 on the clock...

Having owned this for a few months now, I thought I'd finally post a proper progress thread. Wouldn't expect quick progress mind. Anyway; bought this car in January, good mileage and well specc'd: - FF Clio 200 with cup pack - 47k miles - Recaro seats - Speedline wheels - Cornering/projector...

Hi, Brand new member looking for some advice! Looking to buy a Clio 200 and have up to £8k to spend. Was wondering if there was anything in particular I should be looking out for? I have heard about the gearbox synchros for example - does that mean if the gearbox hasn't been done previously I...

:tired: Such a shame to see another one of these taken off the road for good http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/252015324801?_mwBanner=1&ul_noapp=true

Bristol Motor Club are proposing to run the Bristol Clio Cup, exclusively for normally aspirated Renault Clios. In 2017, it is proposed that the cars will compete in two sprints at Castle Combe Circuit, one at Llandow Circuit (near Cardiff) and two AutoSolos in Chepstow. All the events are...

I know its been covered loads & i have read other threads.I have eibach sportlines on my 172 cup at the mo with new dampers,but i want it to sit lower.So my 2 others choices are cooksport or H&R.So im just after a couple of side profile photos of 172 cups on either of these spring choices please...

I have a Clio 3 TCe 100, love the car, love the engine, just think it needs 15 - 20 extra hp to get it to 'hot hatch' level fun. I've read that an off-the-shelf remap will take it to 125hp, but I'm sceptical because I know the standard injectors are hitting nearly 100% duty cycle. Does anyone...

Hi all, Few years back I had a 172 Cup which due to reliability issues had to replace with something newer, reliable and slower to get me to work, which ended up being an Ibiza. It did its job but I got incredibly bored and had an itch that needed scratching, so impulsively decided I was going...

Hi all, new to forum, looking for some advice. I own a Clio mk3.5 1.2 TCE 100. I like the engine, it's nice and revvy for a turbo car, but seems lack throttle response. I'm thinking of getting a remap done, but I've heard doing this on the standard injectors will result in little/no power gains...

Hi, I have a Clio 1.2 2004 and the heating wont work. It will come on cold but just wont get hot. I have replaced the water filter and the fan belt, it has been flushed through and is clear and two mechanics have said the matrix is working correctly. any ideas? Thanks.

Just recently got a Clio mk3 1.5dci dynamique s 86bhp wandering if it's possibl to install a pod filter. Cheers

Those of you who know me will know that the Trophy is far from a show car bodywork wise. It's lived on a track all its life and every owner has taken it to the Nurburgring at least once. It's covered in stone chips (the front bumper is beyond salvageable), the door handles are pink and it gets...

Hello everyone, Just some pictures of my first car project, I'm trying not to go down the road of every 17 year olds first car and make it look worse I haven't done much to it yet because I'm having to save for the insurance. The things I've done so far is: Clio 172 rear spoiler Wind...

Doing weekly checks I noticed the aux belt had moved too rings off the pas pulley, The aux kit was done less than a month ago and the belt is bowstring tight and I put tipex across crank pulley and thats not moved, garage thinks it might be pas pump but it makes no noises even on full lock Any...

I recently had a "Full Service" at Halfrauds Autocentres on my 1.2 16v. I have done about 200 miles since the service. I noticed the other day that the car will hold itself on hills without the use of any brakes. The "Mechanic" told me he had adjusted my handbrake because (In his words) it was...

Hi everyone, I just purchased a 2003 Clio and every time I turn the ignition on I have to enter the radio code. So if I enter the code the radio will work fine but if I turn the ignition off it will ask me to enter the radio code again. The garage said the woman had fitted an aftermarket head...
