Hey all,
Perhaps a really simple answer but having taken a quick look earlier I couldn't see anything obvious.
I have received my powerflex insert and new Febi upper engine mount. When I looked at the mount, the top plate was glued to the rubber (unlike the renault OE item where the top plate...
Hey guys,
Picked up a 182 recently which developed a crazy whine on the way to the boat to bring it home.
Got it stripped last night and the power steering pump is knackered, fluid everywhere leaking behind the pulley. I'm happy enough to do the job myself (made easier by the PMS air con...
Hi Guys,
Just a quick "hi, i'm back" introduction.
Collecting my 6th RS Clio tomorrow evening and all the warm and fuzzy memories of ClioSport have returned.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone and contributing once again!

Just thought that I would post up a few pictures of my brothers car and a spec list:
Weitech Coilovers
16"Speedline Turini's, that have just been refurbed in Mazarati Pearl White
Front and rear renault badges done in the same colour
Wheel spacers
Bonnet Bra
Full renault sport interior...
Mainly two questions - what is this and what do i need to do to replace it?
Highly contemplating having the belts done on the ph-quick again for my own piece of mind - should i do the pulley at the same time?

Friend of mine recently bought this freshly imported evo as his daily driver. The car is immaculate and had clearly been looked after well by its owners in Japan - no parking dent/dings were evident at all.
Upon inspection of the paint i noticed it was very dull, and that the whole car seemed...
Fitted my 172 gaz coilovers today. Did the fronts fine etc but when going to do the back i ran into a rather big problem - no matter how or what we try we cannot get the top bolt on when both rubber (lower and upper) bushes are on.
I attached both shocks at the bottom with the one long bolt -...
Hi guys,
fitting a powerflex polybush kit to the front of the clio and was wondering is it worth me replacing the front wishbones while doing this process?
Thanks
Ross
Pushing out old bushes from the dogbone mount and it snapped :(
had clearly been battered previously so was nothing we could do!
Renault have quoted £144+vat for a new mount
anyone else know where to get one? or will one from other model work?

Fitted my ktec upper gearbox mount and i couldnt get it tightened past the top thread on the spindle. Should it tighten more and if so how do i go about it? Impact wrench?
Thanks
Ross
After selling the 197 and trying to settle down into a sensible car - i soon realised what a massive mistake i had made! As great a car as the BMW was, it just didnt deliver the 'fun' factor that the RS Clios had given.
So when my dad mentioned he was thinking of changing to an M3 i convinced...
Does anyone know any history on this black ph1 172 in SureClean cars in essex? Any locals help me out by going and having a look at it?
Thanks a bunch
Ross
looking at a set of Borbet A's for a 2001 clio, they are 16x7.5's wandering would these fit?
or Ats Cups but the offest is 20, would these look good with 13mm hubcentric spacers?
Well, the clio went this morning to its new home and to be horsed around the Nurburgring in 4 weeks time! Sad to see it go but at the same time i felt i had brought it as far as i wanted to. The new owner will probably make himself known and im sure he will look after the car very well!
So...
Havent had a chance to post up some new pics of the cl10, all in a rush to get it ready for sunday!
Few new additions to give it a more 'racey' look! :P
added the RenaultSport front splitter and rear spoiler, and added eibach 25mm spacers.
Big thanks to armo at StreetRacer and SQ Design...
Me, Stu and Rach met up tonight to grab a few quick photos of the cars! Reminded my how much of an awesome colour liquid yellow is! Excuse the pics - was freezing and didnt pay too much attention as we were all trying to keep warm and keep the banter going!
/Ross :P
Didnt have anything to do this evening so grabbed the camera and went for a little play!
here are the results!
then i got really bored! :cool:
:P

Just thought i would throw a few pics i took out tonight of the motor.
After toying with the idea of selling it and kinda losing interest (and going through irritating problems like blowing up tyres in potholes!!) - going back to uni and driving it up and down has reminded me what a great...
Took delivery of my KW V1 coilovers thanks to the KTec Double December Discount Offer - but due to the freezing cold weather only got them fitted about 2 weeks ago!
Not much difference in regards to height from the H&R springs - but the handling is unreal! After having Spax and Gaz fully...
Had a free weekend as i didnt have my paint guage to do a correction on a friends Scooby! So thought i should use the time to clay the car - was like running your hands over sandpaper and get some winter protection as i doubt ill have a chance to correct it until after christmas!
Plan was a...
about time too :nono: 14 weeks and 1 day after ordering my 197 i picked up a second hand one! After me putting up my account of my treatment on RMS last week Charles Hurst refused to sell me the car!
So looked into the second had market and got sorted :) am absolutely over the moon :D As...
After being messed about for 14 weeks about my 197 (and still no car) i have decided to withdraw my deposit cut my losses and buy something second hand.
Let me give you my car history - owned a 172 cup and loved it - but couldnt insure it come renewal! best car i have driven so far and loved...
