Evening all, Cars nearly ready for its first track day but still having issues getting a good pedal feel on the brakes. Had a look and the servo/booster looks a little tatty so want to get that cleaned/painted/checked for holes etc. While I was there I'm pretty sure the seal between the...

Evening all, I'm really close to finishing my track car but seems nearing the end it's 1 thing after another! Got a super cheap set of alloys off Facebook and ordered some semi slicks. The specs of the alloys seemed perfect, 15", 6.5 inch wide and et38. They are multi fit 4x100 and 4x108 so...

Morning folks, Looking at a 2nd hand set of tyres for my first track day. See picture below. Realistically how much life would this set have left in them for track? They are yokohama A048s. Track is knockhill. Thanks

Evening all, Swapped the thermostat out recently and first time starting the car noticed it weeping around the 3 bolts where the thermostat is fitted. It was a febi part I fitted that came with the rubber gasket. It's such a simple job, old one out, new one in and do up the 3 bolts. Have...

Evening folks Got a 182 that's in the home straight to becoming a track car. Last 1 or 2 things to sort out and now I'm having starting issues! Firstly, I think the alternator has just packed in. But even with a jumper pack on the battery the car will only turn over and not start at times...

Hi folks At the very end of building a track 182 and it's just 1 thing after another just now! Got so close to taking it for its first run on the road tonight and now I think the alternator has packed up! So the car was sitting idling while I was clearing some tools away and all of a sudden it...

Hi all, So one of the last jobs to do on my 182 track car build is bleeding the brakes. I have had all the calipers off for a rebuild, and replaced the rear brake lines from under the passenger seat area to the calipers. It's been sitting like this for a couple of months. My concern is that...

Hi all, Looking to have my airbag light turned off after removing all the airbags and sensors from my 182. Located in Central Scotland. Happy to travel a little and beer tokens obviously included. Thanks Greg

Hi all, One of the wires on my power steering pipe sensor has snapped inside the plug (the one near the alternator). Not enough wire left to repair it. Anyone know where I can get a replacement plug with pigtails? What happens when this sensor is unplugged? EML or does the PS just not...

Hi all, Looking for cheap 15s for my track car. What is the offset for the standard 5 spoke 15" 6J alloy off a non sport clio mk2? Anyone got a photo of them fitted to a 172/182? Thanks Greg

Hi all, I've taken the calipers and carriers off my 182 for a refurb. The carrier to knuckle bolts are 2 different sizes and they are rounded or damaged in some way. So I'd like to replace them. I've found from an online parts catalogue that they are M12(1.25) x 32mm long. My question is...

Hello! Has anyone got any experience of the solid top mounts on ebay? They're about £115 delivered, look decent and seem similar to others on the market at twice the price. Thanks Greg

Evening all, Got some new disks and pads for the rear, and noticed the old ones didn't come with the spacer between the hub and bearing. I purchased new ones from Kam racing made by Grams. Looking at the photos on other threads, mine look identical both sides? So people say they have to go a...

Hi all, Are the rear calipers on a dci model the same as a 172/182? Repair kits look to be the same p/n but just double checking. Thanks Greg

Hi all, Quick one. Are non 172/182 shells the same as a 172/182? Eg if I had to re-shell a 172/182, could I pick up a dirt cheap 1.2 etc and all the 172/182 bits would swap over? Eg rear beams, front subframes, engine mounts, etc etc Thanks

Evening all, I've bought a cheap 182 with both cup packs that is becoming a track car. Plan was coilovers but the car was cheap and is a little rotten so don't want to double the value of the car by buying coilovers! I removed the rear disks and drivers side shock tonight to give it a once...

Morning all, I've bought a 182ff with both cup packs that's needing a bit of work. Got it cheap and it's got some really nice bits in it too (pms shifter, whiteline rarb, omp wheel etc). Plan is to make it a track car with minimal road use, maybe the odd blast and possibly driving to the track...

Hello all, Recently picked up a cheap 182 that I'm modifying in to a track car. First job on the cards is the delete the air con as it doesn't work anyway. Has any one used the Lambert Engineering one...

Hey folks Got quite a tidy phase 1 172 in pearl black. Its got black f1s, a cup spoiler, phase 2 rear lights and a skoda splitter. It's also got a twin exit exhaust that ill be replacing with a stealth. So should I get a phase 2 rear bumper on her aswell? With maybe some colour coded phase 2...

Hey folks After checking loads of things and coming to the conclusion that my 172 needed a new gearbox it turned out that the previous owner had actually fitted driveshafts that were too long :o So new ones fitted and the cars perfect. So im now left with 2 new driveshafts that have done...

Hey folks Got my 172 phase 1 a few weeks ago and I've been told to check the front bushes to make sure the metal sleeve has been tack welded in place. I've got powerflex bushes all round btw. So I had a look and they've not been tacked in place :(. So ill bring the welded home at the weekend...

Hey folks Had my phase 1 a few weeks now. Not the best start with it maybe needing a gearbox :-/ but ill bash on and hopefully get it perfect. Here's a few pics of it de-stickered and after its first clean. Needs a good going over with my machine polisher but no time this weekend. Anyway...

Hey folks Thought I might get more replies in this section. Heres the original thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?662178-Clicking-noise-when-turnin-right Basically when I turn right at above 30 mph(sometimes under aswell) I get a funny clicking/ticking/knocking noise coming...

Hey folks Bought my phase 1 172 a few weeks ago and just started this noise. When I'm turning right it makes a clicking sort of noise. I can feel it inside the car also. Gets faster with speed aswell. Feels like its coming from the drivers side also. Was told its probably the outer cv joint...

Hey folks My clio came with no handbook etc that's usually in the glovebox. It wasn't there when the last owner bought it either. So could anybody tell me what books I need to get my hand on? eBay have a fair few for clios for sale but I'm unsure on what one is for my car. It's a 2000 phase 1...

Hey folks Not long got my phase 1 and just sorting out a few niggly problems. Next on my list is the sticky idle. I've read about cleaning the throttle body which I did last night. Went a drive and it's still the same. Im going to remove it again an possibly strip it down, clean all the...

Hey folks Been on here a little while looking for a cliosport. I was using a 1.2 Clio as my daily to keep the miles down on my mk1 focus RS but wanted something a little faster to keep me happy. So I found the car for me. It's a black phase 1 with 81500 miles on it. It's going to see done...

Hey folks Bought myself a nice phase 1 tonight with some good parts fitted. The last owner hasn't done any miles on the suspension really and not had the geometry set up. On the way home it was very shaky and vibrating quite a lot at high speeds so it's definitely needing set up. Got a local...
