As promised last year, we have organised an open pit lane trackday at Llandow Circuit, near Cardiff, on Saturday 21st April. Cost will be approx.£125, plus £25 for second driver in the same car, depending on numbers. All Cliosport members are very welcome, but I am putting it here in the SW...

First of all, let me introduce you to my Phase 1 Clio 172. I have owned the car for the last 8 years, and in that time the poor thing has had a very hard life as my daily driver, plus it has been successfully campaigned throughout the South West of England in road rallies, sprints, hillclimbs...

Hi guys, I have posted this in the main forum, but thought I would put it here too. Murtaya Sports Cars have a track day at Llandow, near Cardiff, on Saturday 19th November. open to all, the cost is £95. Response has been a bit slow, so they have invited us to attend. I shall be taking the...

Heres my last run at yesterday's last ever St. Eval Sprint. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/user/172rally?feature=mhee

Just wanted to post a big-up for Nick at Pure Motorsport. Picked up my air-con delete kit from him the other day. Simple to fit, great instructions,does exactly what is says on the tin, looks the dogs danglies, superb piece of engineering. Can't recommend the guy enough. Check out his website...

I don't know if anyone has seen the spoof "Rainbow" TV show that was done for J. Clarkson's birthday, but Zippy mentions his Renault Urinal - used just for pissing about. Just had to do it!

Just a feeler being put out at the moment. How do the SW people feel about an exclusive Cliosport Trackday at Llandow? I know the guys there quite well, and could arrange it if there is enough interest. Open pitlane, approx 35 cars max, 10 on track at any one time. Probably work out around...

A short vid of my fastest timed run (45.22) at Plymouth Motor Club's Werrington Park Speed Hillclimb, 1st May 2011. Not a particularly tidy effort, I must stop playing rally drivers and flinging the car around when it bets unstuck! Enjoy.

I have heard that mud packs are good for the complexion. Here's my 172 getting ready for show and shine! :D

I see Renault are using the Va Va Voom tagline again in the TV adverts. In my case its more likke Va Va ......... Oh s**t!:clown:

Short notice I know, but Truro & District Motor Club is returning to Tregrehan Estate at St. Blazey, St. Austell on Sunday 12th September after several years absence. Besides the serious motor sport, there will be a static display of interesting cars, which will be able to take part in a...

Any of our experts on here able to help me with available boxes/diffs for 172 sport. I use my 172 for hillclimbing and sprints, and lose out to the Mk 2 Escorts in my class because it is over geared. What about the boxes from the Kangoo vans, what sort of ratios do they run? I'm not fussed about...

Took the trusty road rally car out for a spin one night, and found a badger who had forgotten his highway code!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3tdjKA5iFk

Hi Guys, had this in car vid for ages, just realised it may give you a smile. BdUfhqL5VLM

I realise that not many of you might be looking to fit a roll cage to your Clio, but I have recently fitted one to my 172, and I must say just how impressed I am with it, from K Tec Racing in Bournemouth. I have fitted several in my time, but this one is certainly the best for fitting around a...

Anybody know of anyone who supplies stiffer, but not lowered springs for my 172? I compete on road rallies, so do not want to lower it, but could do with some harder springs. Many thanks for any info.
