Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )
Few pics from nice weather we have had over the past two days
Absolutely loving the clio now got it exactly how id like it setup .
Will get pics of the whiteline arb fitted
Also ive gone back too the standard airbox car seems to perform better probally because the k&n cone filter wasnt upto the job should of got a pipercross.
Replaced my throttle pedal also as it was putting my car into limp mode
Loving the clio again

Small update .
Been finding small patches on fluid on the floor recently only to find there growing in size so have come to conclusion my radiator is leaking , so a new one is now required . Which puts a hold on my wheels getting sprayed :/
Fitted a genuine renault air filter yesterday thanks to my mate tom who had one knocking around the one inside the air box was 9 years old .
Bloody clios !

Shame about the rad. Hope you get it sorted.
clio 172 phase 2
Made some progress with the rad swap these nice evenings we been having .
Found a rad for the measley sum of £10 from a friend who broke his clio a few weeks back so nice saving there
Whilst im changing the rad i thought id change the thermostat and the header tank for fresh new items make the bay look alot cleaner too !
Just waiting for the coolant now from renault which should be here 2moro .
Also my camber bolts turned up so i pinched the camber gauge from work to get a rough idea of the camber
Will update once shes running back to normal again

been a bit poor with the updates recently , not much really goin on to be honest ,
ive managed to sort my camber out on the front , some how i already had camber bolts andnbought some more which was a waste managed to sell them only for royal mail to loose them again , so money down on that :/
my mate was kind enough to give me his carbon fibre splitter needed a bit of work , slight sanding down and a good few coats of laquer it has come up new now so well happy with that .
also my fog light surrounds where looking grey and i got fed up of treating them with trim treatment , so a quick going over with satin black they look alot better ,
im on the look out for a recessed exhaust system now somthing like the ktec one as the boom of of the stealth is getting annoying.
need to lower the rear a little more the rake is nice but a bit too much at the front .
my wheels are in need of a refurb pretty bad this will also be done soon cant decided weather to go powedercoat route or just a good spray job , un sure of if should change colour either ive always fancied anthracite but love the white when its clean .
been doing alot of mountain road driving recently and the car is bloody epic on them roads and is set up perfectly for it , my clutch is not liking it so much thats the next big job i think

right a sad update for me
the clio has been sold and is awaiting its new owner this week , i have loved every second of owning this car even the spending part ! but now its time to move on as ive just put a deposit down on a facelift civic type r always fancied ones so goin to see what its like for a while , i can really see me getting another clio in the future as ive built such a good knowledge of these cars and know how capable they are with a few mods , also there bang for buck is outstanding .
so very sad to see it go but been told its guna be doing alot of track days which i was intending on doing so. so glad its guna get on the track and get used as it should as theres nothing wrong with it what so ever and can imagine it doing well with the current setup .
thanks everyone for the help and tips since owning it
will stay on this forum and do a blog of the civic also
