Got a few pictures done yesterday, had the car since last june, still completely standard which is a shocker for me! Do have some bits lined up, going to be keeping an OEM theme though (few of my mates 3 series as well)...

Not been on here for ages or updated my progress thread or anything like that but thought i'd post a few pictures after a clean yesterday... Bonnet is open as I had disconnected the battery, not because I like showing off dirty engine bays :o A quick one coming out of trax the other week...

Been having handling problems of late, feels very vague at anything over 80 and as soon as the road is anything but smooth it's just pot luck what the car does. Noticed the other day, when jacking the car up on the right hand side, the rear offside suspension creaks loudly, would this suggest...

It seems alot of folk seem to suffer with their clio's not handling correctly, pulling ways they shouldn't, floaty sensations, bouncing off the face of the earth down country roads, vibrations etc... It also seems that 9/10 mechanics say everything looks fine when the owner knows it isn't and...

Had a slight bump on my near side wheel few weeks ago and car is now handling strange. The steering wheel seems to almost jump when I hit a bump in the road as if there is some play some where and at motorway speeds feels unweighted & at around 80mph+ I get vibrations. The wheels are all...

Have I got a chance in hell of getting insured again for less than £2k when insurance comes around again in July? Due to something yesterday i'm 99% going to be loosing my NCB, car is relatively fine 2bh, I honestly can't bring myself to try and sell it though, I feel like curling up and dying...

Anybody know of any Renault breakers in north west that are likely to have Clio 172/182's in?

I see alot of people on here posting about shedding various things that I would never think to touch i.e. useless brackets in the engine bay, redundant wiring... Post your tried & tested weight saving & tidy up ideas in here...

99% of us have probably seen this video when youtubing our clio's before we bought lol but has anybody seen this sticker for sale... Want it in Yellow & Red and to do my callipers yellow

Went past you this morning just past the wigan junction. Was lovely :o

Blue 182 parked up at Asda in Westbrook with Cliosport stickers. Blue 172 on the M6, passed me near Wigan junction going North bound. Silver 172 about 9'ish on M6 northbound in the exact same place near skem junction! And a silver 172ph1 again in the exact same place 5 seconds later. I...

Fitted my OMP Trecento Wheel, OMP Boss Kit & Cobra Suzuka Pro seat on Cobra Aluminium side mounts and OMP subframe. Also OMP 4 point harnesses. I'll be updating my progress thread later with a few more pics and tales! Couple of quick outside photo's (a dirty...

Just fitted omp wheel with omp boss kit, took it out for a drive and the indicators aren't cancelling. Looked at the standard wheel and at the back there are two wings which I'm guessing knocks a switch. Due to a balls up last week the plastic ring that sits behind the wheel got snapped off...

Any places do them without the rediculous prices that I've seen? :dead: Or would you recomend just spraying them? Paint not come off as soon as you tighten them back on?

Saw on my dinner today when I went to Mcdonalds, gloss black wheels (was far away so couldn't tell which), nice and low. Looked lovely ;)

Removed standard steering wheel today to fit new aftermarket and now airbag light (expected), service light (showed when I removed .y seats yesterday along with airbag) and now the traction control light. When car first starts light doesn't show and traction control can be turned off and on by...

What size eye bolts do I require to fix harnesses to lower seat belt mounting points in the back and also down the side of the seats?

Do they come apart? Intended on selling just my seats initially, looking the other day though it seems they don't come apart. Is this correct? Or can the subframes be split?

With petrol prices being the way they are is it ever worth spending £500 on a cheap diesel run about? Obviously you have twice the road tax, twice the MOT, twice the maintenance, but you're saving on fuel and not putting the miles on the clio, which at the moment I'm really not enjoying...

Got some suzuka pros and side mounts that I assumed I would be able to fit straight to the floor sections until I went to do it :/ Had my seats out and noticed the sections which the subframes bolt to are offset so presume I need some sort of steelsection welded in so the mounts are fixed...

Gone to fit my new seats today, had it in my head the side mounts would bolt into the existing subframes. So I've not purchased new subframes, will I need to? Is there no way of using existing frames? Bit gutted as was looking forward to getting them in and don't really have the spare money...

Saw you poking out a drive way in the darkness about 7ish, looked lowered. I was in a Black 182

Only had an oil change about 4 months ago, done a 5 hour round motorway trip, just got back in car and oil is flashing low. Not the first time its done this aftera long drive, I do give it some at times but largely mid revs. Car isn't leaking oil, what could be the reason for this? It may...

Buddy Club P1 Ltd Edition... They also do them in black, do like them as not seen them often (although I know they're more of a jap seat). My only worry is the suede effect will become shiny over time but then again the suede/alacantara of clio seats doesn't seem to so :\ Edit...

I'm buying some Buddy Club P1 Ltd Edition seats (side mounted). Can my standard subframes be used and side mounts added? Bit reluctant to pay £300 for the direct fit subframes if I can help it :dead: Cheers

Was looking to purchase these seats.. Stupidly I completely ignored the fact it has no side loop holes, can 3 point harnesses be fitted to these or are the rear holes to low and the sides to high to fit harnesses over? Ta :rolleyes:

Renault Twingo 133 at the lights on haydock round about on Monday morning, I saw you gunning it up there in my rear view mirror but had to pull off so couldnt play :rasp: Racing Blue 182 this morning coming off the M6 and again at the same place on Haydock Round about. I'm in a Black 182...

Somebody at work uses a valater fairly often so thought i'd give him a ring to check prices and what not. My paintwork is knackered so asked him about a machine polish. £35.00 That's for a full machine polish & full exterior and interior valet :eek: Plus he will come to your place of...

My water pump is whining these past few days, obviously it's been very cold. Is it common for these to fail? Will I be daft not to change it? Belts were changed only 12k ago so it's a long time until they'll be done again. Also are they driven by the cambelt or aux belt? It's a 55 plate...
