Some people like orange peel effect. ;) Looks good. Get the grey trim off the car. Bit of plastic primer and some satin black will just make it better. In the words of mighty car mods.... BLAAACK!

Funnily enough, Here's my old 1.2!

Thanks man! The ktr discs are a definite for the rear. The front brembos are new so I will wait untill they are worn! A remap may be on the table. Get the most out of the car! I'm jelous of the ly. Always been a sicker for them. Bit of an update for today! I managed to get the painted...

Hello everyone, I recently posted up about my 197 that I picked up last week. My intention was to leave it as is. However, after finding one or two little bits im not happy with I have decided to start a project-esk thread to track progress. So firstly, A few pictures. A couple parked...

Hi buddy, hope your enjoying your car. Almost identical to how my 1.2 started off. Funnily enough, I was taught the same thing! It's due to being instructed in a diesel where you can hold the car with the bite point and drive it reasonably safely on the biting point of the clutch. From my...

Thanks Guys. After driving it a bit i've found one or two little.... Annoyances that I am planning on fixing. So will get a project log going for it.... I said "I'm going to leave it alone...." That was 4 days ago.

Thank's guys. I took it out for a decent drive today (About 120 miles) and have identified a few issues that I want to work out. Firstly, I have noticed the clutch pedal has a bit of left to right movement. Is this normal??

I'm happy with the seats that are in it for now. Recaro's will probably be fitted in future. I got it for a good price considering the amount of work that's been put into it, so im not too bothered. It's had a new rs200 gearbox + clutch fitted along with new break pads, discs etc as well as...

Hello everyone! I used to be on here a fair bit back in the day. Mostly reading more than posting. When I got my first car (A clio mk2 ph2 1.2 16v) I used these forums a lot to keep it running and do a few modifications to the car. After graduating, I was in need of a more reliable car (The...

Looks good mate! Loving the colour!

Just spotted this car. It had a cliosport tax disc holder so I know the owner should be on here!

Good call. Im in the middle of doing a rear disc conversion on my clio also. Need to get new pads, so they wont be getting done until after Christmas. I dont think you've done the front brakes yet, if you want bigger ones, I believe you can fit the 1*2 hubs in to fit the 1*2 brakes on. As you...

So thats you got rear discs! You going to change the full axle or just the hubs over?

Thanks guys. Its been a bit neglected recently. But I have today off, so plans are to get it cleaned. Get my new plates fitted, and a few extra bits. Ill see how well I get on with it :)

You seen to have a fair idea what your doing. Whats your plans for this? Daily driver? Or something more?

Everything gets better in time mate. Within the first 5 months of me owning my clio, i had to replace the coilpacks and ignition leads, spark plugs, 2 front shock shocks, 3 rear shocks (due to one being fault when it arrived), 4 springs (honestly, just gave me a good excuse to lower it), both...

There the same as the 172/182 beams.

This is what you would need. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-SPORT-172-REAR-AXLE-DISCS-CALIPERS-182-MK2-/221300220139?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item33868560eb

Ill take a bunch of pictures when im working on it, and ill get a how to guide done. my WIP thread hasnt been updated in a while. Ill need to get back to it, been way too busy with my honours project at uni.

I think there kind depending on if you got a "finished at 10 to 5 on a friday night job" with clios. ive seen people who havent got the sunroofs, get a leak through this seal haha

Its not that big a job. Disconnecting old brakes lines, 8 bolts and old axles off. 8 bolts and new axle with disc brakss is on, reconnect the pipes, new abs rongs probably needed, but thats an easy job! Then just need to bleed my brakes. I got the full rear axle for 70 bucks. Including...

Scrappies normally have plenty lying around. Otherwise, people breaking cars will normally have them.

This is the seal I was talking about, the one bang in the centre of the picture.

Good good, im in the middle of changing my rear axle to a 182 axle lol.

+1 for spacers, The 172 arches really make the wheels look hidden. Or if you wanted to go mad, you could go for a 172 subframe conversion and get the big brakes etc too....

On the passenger side of the windscreen is a seal that runs top to bottom, check the top of it, a friends clio was leaking through there. Bit of silicon seal inside done the trick. Ill get a picture of the location for you when I get home!

Hi there, my rear brakes were badly worn and were needing replaced badly. I seen a rear axle with discs instead of drums for £70 so I ordered it up as it came with all the pipes etc. However, the handbrake cable I got with it has been cut. So my question is, do the drum brakes and disc brakes...

Here's a link to my progress log http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?673668-Yet-another-noob-and-his-black-1-2-dynamique

The renault sport decals are a bit stupid on the standard car, its obvious its not a sport. The seats, I can accept because there the nicest ones you can get for the clio, apart from that, you seem set. Id say get some lowering springs. and an rs grill. have a little look around some of the...

So ive managed to get the car out and properly polished. Also finally got my alloys painted and I think they look amazing! But ill let you guys decide! Got new rear shocks and some camber bolts on order. along with a new k&n air filter.
