Hello. Recently i bought clio 1.6 8V rxe and I love it. It shows 150k kms and overall condition is not so bad. I also have some allu rims on it. I was thinking of having it as a project for winter/next year. Im thinking of ph1 172 look. I wonder if I can install bumper from clio 172 ph1 on my...

Hello everyone, new guy in the forum and to the clio scene coming from croatia. I own a ph1 clio k4m 1.6 16v dynamic, completley stock except oz superturismo 16" wheels that i got with the car when i bought it. The car looks stupid with stock suspension and those rims and also it is very soft...

Hi guys, I have just bought Clio sport ( year 2OOO - ph1) and the speedo does not work - typical problem. However i tried to find the sensor on the gearbox and i am afraid it is not there( or i could not find it), since the gearbox is probably from a newer model - which used the ABS sensor. Is...

After 2 years with my first car 1.2 8V ph2 clio, i decided it was time to upgrade. (https://cliosport.net/threads/clio-1-2-pearl-black-from-portugal.816797/) So i bought a ph1 clio RSi 1.6 16v pearl black , pretty rare here in Portugal, and this one specially because it's all stock. One day...

Good day all! It has been pretty much seven years since I have posted here on the forum about my gravel Clio rs 172. Basically, I have raced it in snow, ice, and gravel. I was not kind at all to it. It does have quite a few special bits to it, and it even has a special VIN number. Good bits...

Here potentially for a slating but looking for some advice. I've been offered the chance of a 172 Exclusive, I know they aren't for everyone but I've been keeping my eyes open for something which can be driven but at the same time something which *MIGHT* be worth some money in the future. I've...

Hi folks! Well after just over 10 years of owning other metal I am just about back behind the wheel of a Clio again! Like lots of memories the ones we harbour for our early cars can often be recalled through rose tinted specs! I was 22 when I sold my ph1 1.2 MTV edition and jumped behind the...

Hi all Newbie to site and loving all the info available so thought would share my 172 Ph1 progress after getting the car earlier this month 75k from new, registered Sep 2000 so 17 years old, with good history and seems all original apart from some yellow springs that seem to have lowered it...

Hello guys. Quick question, Is it allowed by the law to have two different headlamps on each side? because I'd like to mix a bit of classic II ph1 look with some modern ricer tuning angel eyes, like the front is torn apart and one side is infected and i'm not sure if I can legally have it on...

Hey, Next month I'm arriving London and I'm looking for parts to my Renault Clio RS 2 PH1. I'm looking for a specific Koni 8710-1395Sport (54 bolt pattern) and Koni 8010-1048Sport which I believe fit the vehicle. Also Springs of Eibach sport-line. Is there a store in London that holds these...

So two weeks ago me and my girlfriend (Alex) bought a ph1 172 car with a full weld in roll cage by Custom Cages. We wanted it as a project to do over the summer break whilst off University and our intention is to have it as a track only car and maybe compete in it one day . The pics below show...

Does any know with firsthand experience, if any of the power steering hoses are interchangable between years or the lower spec model of ph1 Clio.? The aluminum pipe section of one of my hoses has split and I'm seeking a direct replacement or a swappable part from else where. IE ph1 1.2/4/6 or...

Hi all, I've been on Cliosport ever since owning a 172 Cup (project thread here). Sadly the Cup ended up needing a new head and it was going to cost a lot to repair so I sold it on and ever since I really missed Clio ownership. In July I decided to go on the hunt for another 172, but one that...

Some assistance required. Bought timing tool set off the bay to do cam let change on Ph1 172. Engine no rusted away and not on log book. Camshaft locking Tool doesn't fit and apparently according to seller kit fits F4R 730 and 732 but not F4R 736. On this basis I assume I have a F4R 736...

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!

Been a member about 12 weeks now but failed to make a post yet! Bought my ph1 around November time for some cheap track fun. It's pretty rough around the edges with a weeks mot left I got it very cheap, 99k on the clock with some history! MOT was done first, followed by belts and pulleys...

Hi guys, I was going to get a Clio mk3 due to better safety but decided that the mk2 is my true clio love lol. :hearteyes: The mk3 is somehow more boring looking. Back in high school I fell in love with a purple-blue (nymphea) Clio mk2 ph1. I didn't like the ph2 triangle front lights and rear...

Thought I'd better get round to putting a thread up seeing as i've owned the car for over 3 years now and this winter Ill be turbo charging it for my HND project at college. Got the car pretty much standard and slowly over time got it to a half decent spec: Engine: 197 cams matched inlets...

hellloow.. So recent events have forced me to part with my 182 (which can be seen below) lots of money has been poured into it as you can all understand, and is currently up for sale. It recently underwent a bit of surgery due to a crunching 3rd gear and a dodgy starter motor, so I decided...

Thought about doing this since I joined the other week, but not really done much in that week on the car! But thought I would just say what the plans are. So the car has been owned since October 2012 as a replacement track day car for my step dad, brother and myself. This is it on the first...
