just under $2000 NZD. PHEW

So far I have Brembo HC Discs with greenstuff/bluestuff pads, braided brake lines with some motul 600 fluid, Toyo R888's and new ktec upper engine mounts. Not going to touch the engine because I feel for trackdays and daily driving its perfect. I have some Eibach sportlines that im yet to fit...

Howdy, Took my Ph1 Sunflower 172 in today to have the cambelt, waterpump, auxbelt etc etc done plus to have the gearbox oil replaced at the same time. Now I was getting a little bit over the clio lately. Im looking at meganes because I need a bit more room but bloody heck! Just driven the clio...

At the op shop! This bloody 32" screen that I have had sitting in storage for years weighs a ton. Only just fit in the back of the clio and almost killed myself getting it back out again. I appreciate flatscreens so much more now

Also handy if you want to drop the rear by a good couple of inches!

Howdy, Yesterday I fitted some some yellow Powerflex bushes into my Ph1 172 bottom gearbox mount. The old ones were probably the factory ones and were totally stuffed. Was getting nasty manifold banging on takeoff and especially up hills. Anyway, its a lot better now. The gear change and the...

Just thought I would share a wallpaper I made yesterday from a photo of my Ph1 172 Enjoy : )

Actually just found the Kam site, looks like they have exactly what I want : http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php/renault/renault-clio-mk2/engine/engine-mountings/powerflex-dogbone-engine-mount-renault-clio-mk2-2-0-rs-172-phase-1.html Cheers!

Howdy, I need to replace the bottom engine/gearbox mount bush on my 01 Clio 172 as I have the usual crashing and bashing at the exhaust into the subframe. The bush is pretty knackered. I hear Powerflex ones are the business. Im in New Zealand and if I go to renault they will only sell me the...

Cheers for the kind words fellas. Next for the car is new belts and waterpump, eibach springs and to get the wheels powder coated as they are a bit chipped. Start a new job in a couple of weeks so funding the damn project won't be so hard! Every now and then I lust for a big luxobarge BMW or...

my one fell off for the 2nd time yesterday. Have now put a flexi join near the manifold because the exhaust was too rigid and with the engine movement it was snapping the welds. Ran around for the day with a 2'5inch straight pipe with a small resonator. Waaaay to loud.

Yea stock height. Painting the wheels black was the best thing I did too

Yea this car is not water tight enough to make the trip to Germany... Went to a beach called Ruakaka. It's a surf beach 2 hours north of Auckland. Beautiful!

Howdy, Took the missus away for a week to a beach house. Was great but ended up taking more shots of the car than the view or her! Got fantastic fuel consumption on the way up as its about a 2 hour drag. Coming back was a bit more spirited! Anyway here are some shots.

Yea we have found them superb on our other race cars so trying them out on the Clio. The car only gets a run once a month or so so will see how they hold up. Plus I get ebc pads half price ; p

Howdy from across the globe. Just started my daily driver/track toy mods on my Sunflower 172. New Brembo HC's with Green Stuff Pads in the front, Braided brake lines front and back from Godspeed (excellent service btw) 2 new rear wheel bearings all fitted and Eibach Sportlines on the way. We...

Sweet thanks for the confirmation!

Howdy all, I am having trouble ensuring that my local supplier orders the right Brembo front discs for my 2001 Ph1 172. He says he can order either 259mm or 238mm. Now I have been told that the 259mm ones are for ABS cars like mine and the 238mm ones are for non ABS cars. However I see all over...

Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread. My Sunflower track toy

Yep we have plenty of race tracks. Pukekohe is the most famous. Ran the Tasman series in the 60's and recently the Aussie v8 supercars. Then there is Hampton downs which has just been built, ruapuna, levels, teratonga and taupo. Not a bad number of tracks for a country of 4 million ; p

Cheers for the words of wisdom guys. The car is defo a 2004 nz new car sold new here. I see what u mean by the gap in the bonnet! The wheels really had me confused too as I didn't recognize them at all. As a trackday toy it could be a goer but we are yet to view it in the flesh. Hopefully we can...

Ah ok so its a 172 not a 182. Cheers! Silly question but how can you tell? I have phase 1 172 so these phase 2's are new to me. Yea the filter and exhaust stick out like a sore thumb but that can all be removed and replaced no problem. Just gotta look at the books asap

Howdy from New Zealand, http://www.turners.co.nz/Vehicles/Pages/Car.aspx?RefId=851782 Anyway, this 182 has come up at our local auction house. These come up very very very very rarely down here so its quite exciting. My old man has been racing old stuff for about 40 years mainly Ginettas and...

Cheers for the reply, Well we have a couple of big places local to me like saeco bearings then there is bnt who do brake and trans parts for the trade. Not sure exactly what brands of bearings they stock as I have not had to get any before from them.

Howdy, After a few trackdays it seems my rear wheel bearings are getting a bit noisy. The discs are in great shape but I hear from various people that you need to buy the whole rear disc with the bearings already fitted. Now I have a press and all the tools needed to fit a bearing as I would on...

Im looking into this exact setup now. Sounds like plenty of people are saying good things about it. Sportlines bring the car down quite a bit am i correct? 40mm or more?

Just photoshopped another yellow one and put some Takata green wheels on. I kinda like this look. I do alot of trackdays so something a bit out there is ok by me : )

Howdy, I have a fairly stock yellow Ph1 172 and a while back I painted the factory silver wheels satin black. They look fairly slick however there are a few chips forming and I really need to look at repainting them. I am thinking of trying a different colour this time. Something different...

I run them on our 1970 Alfa GTV racecar and our Honda S2000. Will shortly be putting a set on my 172. Really good value and offer great grip and feel in my opinion.
