    Brake line blanks?

    I was hoping i could find a already open thread to shoehorn my question into and this seems to work. What are the difference sizes required here? i know one is M10 but the other is much larger. I assume this will be the same as on the master cylinder which is what I'm asking for.

    Vibra technics gearbox mount float

    ahh, this might be the answer to my woes. I wonder if I'll be able to get my hands on just this lower part or if i will be pushed to get a whole new mount. I don't follow...

    Ph1 revival

    So spent the other weekend getting the engine out. Pretty straight forward when you've already stripped the PAS/AC and other bits off. Subframe definitely needs a bit of TLC at a later stage but due to space had to go straight back on after the engine came out. Then went and attached the...

    Vibra technics gearbox mount float

    Adding a pic and a vid of the problem. I wonder if i am missing a lower washer similar to the top to space out a bit?

    The PH1 172 Appreciation Thread.

    Second time I've posted my Clio on here, it looked much better last time. I posted this on one of the Clio sport Facebook forums a while back, but now i am back on cliosport.net i thought I'd share my theory. And bare with me. Is anyone particularly knowledgeable about the first registered...

    Welding

    I guess what i wanted to understand was if people go to welding specialists, or motorsport specialists for their welding and if anyone had any recommendations in Essex. For reference, i have a cage, i am looking to get some cage mounts welded correctly. Also re the polybush sleeves...

    Welding

    Was not actually sure where to put this thread. Where to people tend to go for their welding work? (ideally in Essex). Things i was thinking was: Seat bars Roll cage Polybush sleeves I guess my concern is a lot of typical garages would not really understand what you are asking for.

    Heat wrap over heat shield

    Vibra technics gearbox mount float

    Has anyone run into a problem with some "float" in their vibra-technics gearbox mount? Effectively when everything is tight, there is some up/down play of the mount. The problem i seem to have is that the spindle gearbox mount is too long, and the large washer on the top of the mount bottoms out...

    Heat wrap over heat shield

    So in the process of removing the heat shields to get the linkage out, a number of either the shields or the bolts snapped. I am wondering, on a track car, if there is really much need for them, especially if you can use a heat wrap on the exhaust. Has anyone tried this before? To be clear, i...

    Kit’s New Ph1 172

    My rail is of that type, so thanks, i will look at adding this to the shopping list. When you ask what spec I am running with the injectors, do you mean the full list of engine mods?

    Ph1 revival

    Purchased! and slopped a load down in the rear arches and under front jacking points where it looked a bit surface. Long term plan is to get the car to a rolling shell then work on the body: Cage mounts welded Seat rails welded handbrake opening welded When i get to this point i will hold my...

    Kit’s New Ph1 172

    Do you mean you can just buy an off the shelf FPR that is 4 bar and works with the current fuel rail set up? Got a link? I'm changing to 225 injectors so cant hurt to have a slightly increase pressured (especially if everyone else is) but I didn't plan on redoing all the fuel lines... yet.

    Kit’s New Ph1 172

    Great build! i love this as i am currently following a similar path restoring my old ph1. I've just picked up some KTR Jenvy's and GEN90 ECU. Out of interest, what drove you to increase the fuel pressure and redo the rail? The current PH1 fuel pressure is 3bar (i think) is this not enough for...

    Ph1 revival

    So had my first little strip down today, very happy with how easily its coming apart, i was expecting a lot of swearing and snapping bolts but so far everything has been a dream. Not too much at the moment as i only had an evening but will be back next week to strip the engine bay more. Most of...

    Ph1 revival

    My first plan is to start getting bit of the body stripped ready to get the engine back out. Removing some bodywork I'm sure will tell a better tale of how it's faired over the years, i will add down where the rear cards used to be to part of the inspection.

    Ph1 revival

    ***Content warning - PH1 abuse*** So here i am, dusting off my old cliosport.net This car was previously part of a long thread back in 2011, https://cliosport.net/threads/strugglers-back-ph1-172-project-bit-of-a-read.614966/ The clio ended up in a garage due to financial constraints and a bit...

    Seized Rear Hub (again)

    I know this thread has come up before, but one of the rear hubs on my girlfriends car has seized, and i cannot for the life of me get it to free up, ive tried smashing it with a hammer and rocking the car back and forth but nothing seems to be able to make it budge. I'm starting to this it may...

    Cup Racer Engine Mounts

    Wow its been a long time since i posted on here!! mainly because my track project was put into my nans garage and forgotten while i was at uni and couldnt afford to do much with it. I know the cup racers are fully subframe mounted. a lot of people subframe mounted their engines in mk1 clios...

    Mk1 widetrack vs. Mk2

    mk2, shocks and springs rear suspension is better than torsion bar and most mk1 shells need saving from rust! lol mk1s look better though

    182 inlet manifold top part

    there wont be any gain from swapping between them, they are the same bore. im pretty certain theyre all the same but there may be extra hose fittings on some.

    my clio 1.2

    I think the 172 rear bumpers need skirts on the side to make them look more at home! other than that, it look superb from the back, front is getting massively let down by the jap plate and white grills imo!
