Hi guys, just a quick question. I bought a clio 172 recently with zero history. I'm very happy with it but in the rear window there is a cliosport.net sticker. I wondered if anyone could help me track down a previous owner and get some idea of how he kept it during his ownership :)
Reg number...
Hello Guys and Girls. My name is Thomas. Im From Germany/Eifel 30min away from the Nürburgring/Nordschleife.
My english is not very god,.. so i used the google translator... I coppyd the text from the German Cliors.de Forum.
So. Now it is to open a thread for my Clio at the time. I have the...
I'm back with another Clio! Managed to pick up this 182 FF for a good price, really clean, cambelt done, nice and standard with what seems like a solid gearbox (if thats possible!). Ideally I wanted a 172 Ph1 or a 172 Cup but all the ones I looked at were total dogs and would need a fair bit...

What are people using? I need to get one ordered so I can get on with moving it so I can fit my airbox but I don't want to get one which is too small for to turn the engine over!
Well I'm going to hopefully soon be stripping my interior and carpets out my 172 and wanted to know if anybody knows where I can buy the things in the foot well of the picture I've attached? If not I may attempt to make my own with some ply and sandpaper type stuff like the Anti slip stuff they...
Hi, I'm looking at getting a new set of track tyres. I want something that is good in the wet as well as the dry. I'm fed up with taking a spare set of wheels in the back of the car. I went to a track day recently and a couple of clios were raving about nankang ns2r's.
up until then I was...
Hi guys, new here having just bought an '02 Clio 172 for the princely sum of £200......
It's not as bad as it sounds!!! Basically a friend owned it as a 3rd car, and 2 weeks before the road tax and insurance ran out a hit and run driver took out the drivers door, door mirror and side skirt...
Ok so we have decided to buy a Clio 172 Cup ph2 for track days, we managed to get this bargain...
We pick it up on Tuesday so expect this thread to be very Pic heavy lol.
So this isn't going to be a big project but I wanted to start a thread in case it progresses later on after a few track days lol.
I'm no stranger to fast cars and once I progressed to proper quick cars they turned into weekend/fun cars and I bought sheds to use as a daily.
Went through loads of...

Morning all,
I've put together another track day video, in my own style. Since many of you liked my Croft video I thought I better get this one posted too! :)
Enjoy!
Also, bonus content for those on Facebook - I put this together last night:
Cheers

Decided I wanted a clio to throw around track so went in the hunt!!
Finally found a 172cup for the right price after looking a quite a few turds
This is day one
Bored in work so for future ref.... If I put new discs and pads on my 172 will they have to be run in for a gentle lap or two on the track day? Mine is road legal so I would probably do it on the road before I went to the track, plus I would be going out on a road test to make sure all is well...
Hello everyone.
Simple question really. I am looking at buying some 15" Wheels for my 182FF. I know the standard offset is 45 and was wondering what peoples opinions are when changing for track wheels. The wheels I am looking at (Pro Race 1.2. Yawn!) come in ET45, ET42 and ET38 in the size...
Right then.
This is my first ever clio cup, I'm a vw man at heart but after experience they are just to heavy under power and expensive to repair.
So after doing some research for possible track toys the clio was the one for me.
So after looking at a couple of cars which weren't for me I was...
Hi guys.
Ive got a clio track car that ive built from scratch and have used it for the last 6 months. Im not in the process of prepping the interior and painting it. Ive removed all the brackets and bit and bobs that were spot welded in. Ive also removed the front door metal and boot metal. i...

Well finally bought a 172 Cup to share with my Dad doing Track days and thought I would post some pictures up.. Took delivery from @Chi today and after biting the bullet and Insuring (£299 fully comp with Greenlight as a 2nd car) and throwing 6 months tax on (was going to do it monthly and just...
After some advice as to what you guys recommend for Track days and the odd fast road blast, 172 Cup with 15". I have two sets of wheels and ideally a set for dry and a set for wet conditions. Probably be doing my first track day this month or in January.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I was wondering if I can get advice on buying a 197 / 200 car for track days only.
The car will be totally stripped inside and suspension changed for coilovers.
Therefore what is best out of 197/200? 197 cars seem to be a lot cheaper and if I'm ripping the car to bits would this be...
Well I'm getting ready to go and view a 172 Cup that I'm looking at buying for track use and trips to the Ring and was wondering if there is much difference and are the 197 worth the extra money over the 172 for example the 172 I'm looking at had 59k miles, Quaife Diff, BC Coilovers, 2 X Bucket...
Not,had time to look yet, but after a day on oulton, the car now pulls to the right on acceleration and pulls left under braking, maybe bottom arms come lose, or camber bolts have moved? Any one know from experience?
