Hi guys I have a Type R in black and it's in desperate need of polishing. The paint looks ok after a wash but is looking a bit dull and there are scratches and swirls everywhere. I did start buying a few detailing items a while ago, including a DA. A month or so ago I polished the bonnet with...

http://www.cliosport.net/threads/powerflow-stainless-cat-back-exhaust-ph1.781465/ Does anyone know? I assume the measurements must be the same so will it be a straight swap? Thanks for any help

Ok yes it's a stupid question. I've got both bottom bolts out but the top mount nuts are incredibly tight. Just want to know if there is a technique or special tool I can use? It's hard to do it as I need to also hold an adjustable spanner on the flat above the nut also. Going to buy a better...

My gearbox has started making a lot of whining noise. There was a bit of whine before but now its really quite loud. I did fit solid engine & gearbox mounts so I just wanted to confirm if that is the reason why, or is this thing about to blow? I also have a lot of horrible noise when idling...

I managed to break part of my front ST220 bumper and it was already a bit broken anyway. Can't seem to find a new bumper so can anyone recommend somewhere close to me that can repair and respray the bumper? Plenty on google but would like to hear if anyone has experience etc Thanks Steve

Ok so I've been stupid and thrown the carbon canister away so I can't plug the solenoid back in. Anyone know what resistors I can use to fix this? Or is there another way? Thanks Steve

Hi guys. One of my headlights has stopped working even though the bulb looks fine. I swapped the working one over and it works on the otherside so I definitely have a duff bulb. Trouble is even after searching I here and reading loads of threads I can't seem to find a replacement that looks the...

Doing the aircon delete on my car and I'm stuck! I've taken the alternator and compressor off and am just removing the alternator bracket. There are two funny star bolts holing the tensioner in place. The bottom one came out with a 10mm spanner but it's the top one that I need out. The same...

I can't figure out what I've done wrong. I removed the gearstick surround and moved the cigarette lighter, hazard switch etc into a new place so now it's like this i removed the airbag ecu, then hid the rest of the wiring behind the dash. I also removed the side impact sensors. So the...

Absolutely love Snetterton. Only my second time there. Thought the pro photos were pretty good so I had to buy them. Here's a few of them:

I've just been doing a bit of searching but can't find an easy answer. I going to be fitting the PMS aircon delete kit to my ph1 soon. Any tips from anyone that's fit one? I've ready the guide and it all seems simple enough. The other question is what coolant should I use? Can someone give me...

Not sure if this is a dumb question or not. Im going to get a new phone and was thinking of keeping my iphone 4 for filming track days with the harrys lap timer app. The question is, will it still work without a SIM card? It needs to use gps data

I've just finished relocating the battery to behind the passenger seat. All connected up and I've got power, but turning the ignition on and the fuel pump doesn't prime and obviously the car turns over but will not start. What have a done wrong? What could have broken? Is the car immobilised or...

Just wondering if this is a problem or not? Does it need to be a sealed battery? Or can I put the standard one there? Won't fail the mot or anything like that?

Think it was a Y reg

Well I thought I'd write up my project so far. Still plenty to do: After not having a clio for about 3 years I had the opportunity to get a car just for fun and a few track days. I've owned two 172's before: and So this time it had to be a PH1. I spent ages looking for a decent one but in...

Just recently my steering lock has started clicking when driving. I can feel it almost engage as I turn the wheel some times. It's a bit worrying that it could come on when I'm driving! I haven't taken anything apart to have a look but I'm thinking I might just remove it anyway. Has anyone got...

Just been searching but can't find the answer. I have 15mm bolt to hub spacers from Dan on here. I also have some studs and nuts. Do I: A: screw studs into hub, slider spacer over and do up wheel nuts B: put spacer on and screw studs through both spacer and hub C: bolt spacer on with...

What have people done with the hole in the dash? Could do with buying a non airbag dash top but don't want to spend much. Was thinking about making a little storgage hole or something What have other people done on their PH1 track cars?

I have a very annoying problem. And a bit worrying too. For the second time, my first session on a track day was halted by my front wheels coming loose. Now admittedly I didn't torque them up before going out but they were torqued up not long before. I had a 2 hour trip on the motorway to the...

Is there such a thing? i have to lean quite far back in my track car and I feel I would benefit from the steering wheel being a bit closer thanks Steve

I'm about to replace the fluid in my 172 for RBF600. I have syphoned out most of the reservoir. My dad has lent me one of them ezebleed kits. The problem is that the current fluid is quite new and will look a very similar colour to the new stuff. Just wonder how much I should bleed out of each...

I've got to change one of my front calipers as one of the sliders has seized. Got myself a replacement caliper from ebay. Changing the caliper over is easy peasy, but I've never touched brake lines before. I assume I can swap the brake line over without losing a load of fluid. Then just open...

He's been offline for a while. Just wondered if anyone knows why? Just waiting for something he sold me cheers ​Steve

Had an MOT fail yesterday as the centre exhaust mount is not connected to the exhaust. It didn't fail on this last year so either they didn't spot it or its fell off somehow. I am very confused as the exhaust looks like its perfect at the back and doesn't look like it would ever fit on this...

I'd like to fit some spacers to my PH1. However I don't really know much about spacers and my car is mainly for track so I'm not looking for something that will cause me any problems. I think 15mm per side will be perfect. Will make it look a lot better thats for sure. So how do I know whether...

Been busy today sorting out a few bits on my phase 1 track car. It's done over 115k now and is showing a few signs of age! Used a guide on here to finally turn out the serv and air bag light. Then on to the headlights which I've been wanting to do for a long time. The photos don't really show...

The phase 1 172 has got to have almost hit rock bottom now don't you think? You can pick them up for peanuts. They seem to be being broken for parts quite regually, and therefore must be getting less & less in number. I know they will never be worth a fortune, but when you see things like this...

Got a lot of stick from previous photos after I put some Inovit Rapids on my car. Hopefully you guys will like it a bit better now it has Oz Superleggeras :) Snetterton was great, really enjoyed the track but my brakes were shocking. Decent discs and pads needed before I do another track day...
