As i said, you can hear it from within the car quite clearly when sat at lights with radio on low.

Clio 200 pops on idle, sounds like a misfire but i'm not sure it is? no warning lights on dash, seems to drive smoothly and revs do not increase/decrease with the popping... I swear my last 200 did not do this. I've only had this car a few days and i swear it didn't do it when i picked it up...

what's it lowered on ? :)

anyone know for 100% sure?

I'm interested to see if this would fit a ph2 2002 172? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-172-2-0-16V-N-S-R-REAR-COIL-SPRING-/130693730019?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e6df40ee3#ht_675wt_1163 The part is listed as coming from a 2000 172, so a ph1 I guess?

cheers guys, I will have a check of the core plugs. Not sure if they have done the AUX belt, but think it has had one fairly recently. They have stamped the service book, but they have an inhouse workshop that did the work, and this is part of the deal for the car so no invoice etc.

cheers for that, do these comes with the belt kit? if not, I guess they could of just reused the old ones? I will have a look at my car tomorrow for reference. Cheers mate.

OK fair enough, thanks for that. I guess that's why its looking a little older then.

I haven't removed any covers yet, not with the car unfortunately. Correct me if i'm wrong then, but I thought I can see the cambelt as it goes over the large top/right pulley (in your pic) from just looking town into the engine bay? Thats not the Aux belt is it?

cheers mate, so i'm looking at the 3 smaller black tensioners? The belt did not have any bright white writing on the outside iirc :/

which pulleys should I be looking at? don't suppose you have an image? Is the belt cover off a quick job?

I'm picking my other half's 182 cup up on Saturday and they have supposedly just changed the cam-belt as part of the deal (changed it yesterday they said). How can I check this? I had a quick look in the dark the other night and tbh the belt didn't look 'that' new, but it didn't look that old...

As above really... my missus has just put a deposit down on a RB 182 Cup w/Recaro's with the reg: WM05EOK but it was previously registered on 'R8 CUP' and just wanted to know if anyone had any history on it. It seems in very good condition. It was based around Swindon/melksham way I believe...

no one got any idea's? guess i'll be taking it to the garage :(

yeah.. doesn't seem to affect the steering though (well not a huge amount anyway)

I'm getting a very high pitched noise when turning the steering wheel side to side. Went under the car today to try and investigate.. seems to be coming from the steering rack on the drivers side? It does it with the engine off as well as on. Any ideas? the fluid level is fine btw

love it :) I have a 08 ZX-10R

Posted this in my other thread but it now has wrong thread title, so thought i'd get more joy in here.. This may be a very stupid question but i'm trying to track down a squeaking noise, are the top mounts mean't to rotate like shown in the video at 0:15 onwards? Cheers,

I think it's bush / joint / mount related now tbh as it does it with the ignition off (should of checked that to start with!)

OK, its not the PAS I don't think. When the ignition is off I still hear the high pitched squeak when I move the steering wheel side to side a little bit. The noise sounds like it's coming from down by the wheels. A bush/joint maybe? When investigating this problem i noticed my top mounts...

Hi guys, I bought a 172 on the weekend. I get a whining / whistling noise when i'm turning the steering wheel, both when moving around town and stood still. If the wheel is dead still it doesn't not make any noise. Obviously I guess this is PAS related issue, is it likely to be the PAS pump or...

loving it mate :D

not all bad news then, good work guys and look forward to seeing it on track :)

awesome :)

ace vids mate :)

looks great mate! will you swap the coilovers for something else? Does anyone know which set / model of coilovers is more track focused?

epic project! one question though... does the cage not block your view of the wing mirrors as it obviously sits in front of the dash and not inside it. Great work mate :)

I went from a Clio 200 back to a Trophy, not regretting it one bit.

love this project mate!

cracking project mate, best of luck with the engine!
