Not updated this is a while. Not done much to the clio because, life. Have managed to make a few small changes to the car since the last update so here they are. First up, got my Honda back from the garage and its looking lovely again. Not a Clio update but still. Went on a nice drive the day I...

Just stumbled across this thread, great to see another S2000 owner on here! And both 2006 Moonrock GT's no less! Superb looking example, the respray looks fantastic. I absolutely love mine, had it for just over 2 years and have loved every second! Well, almost every second- had a very, very...

Attempted to fit the new steering wheel at the weekend. Managed to get the old one off before realising that the boss I've bought doesnt fit... On the look out for a correct one now. Bolted the airbag-less bus wheel back on for the time being.

Me and you both! Hopefully will get a test fit tomorrow, no tyres yet though.

Cheers Andy, quite happy with the wheels actually. I think they will make a nice change from the usual Speedlines/F1's on every clio. Honda crash isnt ideal but insurance is dealing with it and it was definitely his fault so should be fine. Get my car back this weekend I think, cant wait!

Been a while since I made any sort of update. Not a lot has happened to the Clio since I took it round Brands. Some moron decided to drive into my Honda a few weeks ago so I've been a bit pre-occupied with that lately. Have been given a Merc to knock about in as a courtesy car. Bought a few...

Colchester mate, although my Clio isnt on the road so you wouldn't see it about anyway. Planning on taking this on track or just using it as a daily?

Nice base there! Where abouts in Essex are you?

I managed to tuck the rear wires on mine withough cutting/stripping anything. They still run down the outside of the sill as for that some cutting would have been needeed, but the rear looks tidy and thats good enough for me. Also, car looks amazing! Been following the build for a while and...

Cheers. So do you have a regualr boss and then the quick release fitted? Pretty clueless to it!

@andyj007 Is that a quick release boss on your steering wheel? Which one did you get? I have a new wheel but looking at how to fit it now and I fancy a quick release!

Nope, left that as it didnt bother me really. It was the the rear that I tucked.

Small update from my track session a week ago. I (well, my old man) trailered the car up to Brands for an evening session last Wednesday with two of my friends (in an EP3 Type R and a Renault 5 GT Turbo). I was unsure of what to expect as I'd only previously done 1 trackday before and it wasn't...

Made some more progress with the Clio this past week. I've got an evening session at Brands booked for this Wednesday (27th) so needed to get a few thngs sorted for then. First job was to get the harness fitted- I forgot to actually get any pictures of this though. Next up was to tuck some wires...

Looking good Andy! I should (fingers crossed) have mine on the road this weekend so could shoot over and let you have a look at my seat/cage set-up?

I managed to find a few spare hours Sunday evening to work on the Clio. One issue I'd had for a while and needed fixing before I could progress any further was that my cage didn't actually fit properly. The n/s front leg of the cage seemed to have been bent a little too far in when it was made-...

Thanks, still as in love with it as the day I picked it up! Has about 90,000 on the clock.

Didnt have amuch time this weekend to do too much to the Clio but managed to get a few bits done. First up was having the new tyres fitted, I had 2x Toyo Proxes T1R fitted as thr fronts were very low on tread. As you can see the wheels have seen better days and need a refurb but thats pretty low...

Oh nice, yeah mine is intended to be a budget build too but we shall see how that ends! I have my eyes on some Gaz coilovers next and DS2500 pads with possibly some brembo discs too. And a new steering wheel too as I cant bare the standard one! Yours does look rather good condition to be...

Hey man, sure no problem. Cage was from this guy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/roll-cage-with-rear-cross-105e-100e-escort-cortina-clio-fiesta-track-day-race-/131754794679?hash=item1ead329eb7:g:yiUAAOSwBLlVXDUM And seat was from JJC Race and Rally. I have a Ricco harness on the way too from a...

Started to make a bit of progress on my Clio at the weekend. First thing I did was order a rollcage- after speaking to a few of you off here I ordered the same half cage off eBay that a few of you seem to be running with. I messaged the guy direct and got a good deal on it so I was happy with...

Thanks @JON FOZ but I'm not really after x-low subframes- I'm short enough as it is! Being able to see over the steering wheel is a top priority!

Perfect, thanks very much.

Thanks for the info. Does it not matter which brand of subframe is used? I was under the impression the subframe and seat had to be the same brand to ensure a proper fit :confounded:

I need a bit of help/advice- I've stripped down the interior of my 182 at the weekend with a view to getting my seat fitted. I have a Sparco Sprint seat with side mounts and I want to retain the runners so the seat position is still adjustable. What do I need in order to acheive this? Can I use...

Speedy reply! Cheers for the info, I'd definitely use spreader plates and weld them all in too. Think I'll order one this week, the quality for the price seems rather unbeatable.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but im considering buying one of these myself and just had a quick search to see if it had been covered already. Are people still running these with no issues? Worth the money? They seem it so far but any updates would be appreciated.

Good mornng all, welcome to my build thread! I'll admit straight off the bat that my Clio knowledge is very limited so bear with me. I've been on the look out for a cheap 172/182 for around the past 6 months to use as a bit of a budget track car. I drive a 2006 Honda S2000 daily and had the...

Indeed, they seem an absolute bargain for the amount of car you get in return. Teamed with a few choice mods im hoping it will be just as much fun- if not more- than the S2K on track.

Haha I did wonder if it would come across that way- obviously not the intentions, I mean it will just be a lot cheaper to replace a 172 than the S2K!
