Thanks. Yeah fairly local based in Newcastle so its not really to far. I used javelin track days website to view the available dates looks like maybe August will be my next one. They seem to do quite a few mid week days now as well but I find it hard to get the time off work and tend to go on a...

Booked up to do Croft on Saturday 12th May last week to give the Clio a run out. Turned out to be a cracking day car was faultless went better than she ever has done and sounded amazing with the new exhaust system on. Ill let the pictures do the talking. Awesome little car. Can't wait to do...

I use the car on the road every so often its mainly for track days with the occasional weekend blast. I couldn't decide what to do suspension wise coilovers or cup dampers plus cooksports or eibach etc. In the end I just didn't fancy coilovers and went for cup dampers front and rear with eibach...

Next job to do was replace the rotten old exhaust system decided to go for a KTEC stealth supersports system. Off with the old system. On with the new. Really impressed with the KTEC system nice to have a bit more noise over the standard system few kg's lighter than the standard system...

Took out the A/C pipe work and condenser as it was knackered. Noticed my radiator had seen better days so that would be the next upgrade. Ordered the Direnza alloy radiator for the 172 to replace the tired original got it fitted fairly easily. Filled her up with some fresh type-D...

Then decided to upgrade the engine mounts fitted the KTEC ones. You certainly get a lot more vibration off these over standard but its a track car not a daily so all good.

*Update* Finally decided to update this thread I cant believe its been almost 3 years, I've still got the Clio and it looks a little different now 3 years on. Did 3 trackdays at Croft in 2015 before the gearbox dumped all of it's oil out outside my house the following day. 5th gear didn't...

Think I will give it his one a miss. Cheers guys. Not many for sale around Newcastle. Would rather buy from forum member if possible. All ways seem to be miles away the good ones that come up. The search continues All the help much appreciated fellas Phil

Thanks fellas good info/advice so far much appreciated. Wonder how the wheel bearing was fixed then without the discs been replaced? Not sure I want to be redoing jobs that's should have been done properly in the first place. Springs don't bother me so much as these can be replaced with...

Just noticed if you look at this pic there is red Spring on rear suspension. Not standard then? Email seller and 2 advisories on mot are for rust on discs due to car standing for a while. Thanks for the info so far keep it coming etc. Cheers Phil

Thinking of viewing this black 182 on the weekend if I get a chance. Noticed the cliosport sticker on the back. Anyone recognise it owned it etc? Also can any one tell me if its got cup packs fitted by looking at the pics. Thanks Phil

Hi, not sure to be honest am not a mechanic this is what a renault tech diagnosed. However I did 2 track days in it giving it some real abuse and it was fine. He did say it's not a common failure. The parts are real cheap it's just the labour as timing belt off rocker off cams out etc Hope...

Hi, My 172 engine sounded exactly like this once warmed up to temp. It's was almost like a Diesel engine. I changed the hydrolic lifters all 16 of them but this didn't cure the problem. It was the cam rollers/followers that were making the noise once the oil in the the engine was warm. From...

Hi, thought it was about a time to start a write up on our little Clio as we have slowly been making progress since we picked her up back end of 2014. Not really posted before however enjoy reading all the other project/build threads that have given us so many ideas and inspiration. My brother...
