Can I take it out completely ? all that plastic intake cowl thing. Purely for the sake of aesthetics I think it would look better. (because you can kinda see the radiator now and you can maybe polish it up for more raw looks) does it serve any important function ?

So after going to a dude who does alignment on this huge laser machine the results were not what I expected! Front is ok, Left side has -0.5 camber and right side has -1.5 But I figure i could fix that with Eibach camber bolts. The worrying part is the rear :( The right side rear has 8.3mm...

Instead of buying a quality exhaust for my 1*2 I decided to let a shop design and build a custom one. I've heard that the exhausts on the 1*2 should retain back pressure and because of that all exhausts are chambered designs ? is this correct ? Is it possible to open up the OEM exhaust and copy...

Had osram nightbreaker extreme 120% or something, and the light output is very low. changed to some "ok'ish" Xenons 6000k, looks alot better but still, the actual light on the road seems very weak compated to other xenons. now i know the projectors are for hologens and not xenons on the ph1...

suspension adjustment confuses me. previous owner runs this configuration, and he swears it's the best thing possible after many trials and errors, but i just dont get it. It's a clio 1*2 phase 1. Koni yellow shocks with Eibach sportline springs. these are the spring rates for the Eibach...

I have yellow koni shocks all around, The rear top mounts look kinda cracked and i suspect they are the main cause of the car having knocking noises on crap roads. I cant even see the front ones because im running Eibach sportline and it's so lowered that I have no access to examine them but i...

After seeing everyone had the purple type mounts installed I was surprised to find that powerflex offers the yellow ones for the ph1 as well. This is the link to the regular purple one, says it will fit both 172 and 182...

So basically i had this mad idea about spraying my entire interior plastic from the ugly grey and blue to shiny black with this : It's a special mix for plastic and people say it lasts and durable to the sun, I already know how to take off the door panels, the gearbox plastic surround and the...

Have a friend with the same setup as I do, same 2001 172 ph1 , running yellow Koni dampers with original springs. I run the same Koni dampers (On the same stiffness settings) with eibach sportlines. Ride hight for me is too low on the front and perfect on the rear (but his rear looks exactly...

thinking about getting a flo-flex poly bushes for my dog bone , all other mounts are stock but relatively new. would that damage the other mounts ? because right now pulling off hard from 1st gear or from second while engine is cold causes a small bang sound. what would be the benefit ?

Is there any harm in parking my clio 172 for a period of 3-5 months ? I was told to disconnect the battery , anything else I should do ? besides using a car cover. I plan on not starting it during that period , but if it's harmful I could start it and let it run at idle for 5 mins once a week or...

Have a black clio 172 PH1 , thinking about blanking the fog lights with that original cover that comes with the standard non-sport models. I think it would make it look better (If they are color coded obviously to the car) , I don't even use the fog lights. anywhere I could find pics of them...

Hi there , running a PH2 clio 172 on red sportline springs with yellow koni shocks. the koni's are like 50% front stiffness and 70% rear, something like that, they are adjustable. the ride is kinda bumpy, but i can live with it, what bothers me is the drop. the drop is too low for my liking...

Hi there , I'm from Israel, came here for the knowledge! In israel the people are not so will informed about the clio sport (we call it here the clio sport , not the 172 or the RS) , lack of general dedication as the car clubs are small and most people don't have the experience. I have a...
