At the start of 2023, I decided something had to give. Two cars, a Megane R26, and a 172 Cup, was no longer a viable option - the R26 was too nice to drive and its value was all tied up in the cars low mileage, and I had taken the boosted Cup as far as I could really be bothered. Sold both...
In recent years we've seen a steady rise in the prices of all clean Clio 1*2's, but most notably the 172 Cup. Just earlier this year a Cup on 50k miles sold for north of £8k.
What's fascinating is that this always seems to split the forum in half, with some welcoming a rise in prices and others...
Loads of us run low boost these days, some high-boost, but what about those with more?
I came across this and it got me thinking: https://www.instagram.com/cliofu/ - seems like it's being built for big numbers.
300/350 seems common for high boost. How many big power (400+) Clio's are on here...
Sorry if similar to other threads, but i've got a video to contribute to explain my problem. Car won't start for ages but once started it will normally fire back up again after the second attempt for the rest of the day. Do you reckon it needs new glow plugs?
Should add that it may have...
Long story short, i've bought this Cat D 113k DCI 80 off of ebay (went to see it first) on the cheap to try and fix up.
I was told it needs a new water pump as it eats coolant and sure enough during the 34 mile trip home it went from maximum to minimum on the expansion tank.
My concern is that...
I've done a quick search prior but couldn't find anything useful, i've also asked elsewhere on Facebook but thought what the heck - why not bother everyone on here as well.
My car has developed an annoying flatspot at around 5k when under full load in 3rd and 4th. There's a dip in power for a...
So I have just fitted a KTEC uprated engine mount and upper gear box mount, i've had them before so was expecting the increased vibration which I mostly get at idle, but there is a strange and very faint high pitch (almost like a supercharger. LOL ) whining noise now coming from the front of the...
Not sure if this has been asked before, so here it goes. I'm considering joining the ever growing number of people boosting their clios. Going to use either the engine dynamics 230bhp kit or the one from ClioTurbo for my 172 Cup.
My question is, could someone that has little mechanical...
Basically looks like the paints bubbled and then chipped away. Not sure what else can be done about something like this apart from an entire respray on that section / panel?
I've Been considering looking at this car after the last 172 Cup I purchased turned out to be a dog. This one seems good and it's quite close to me but what is up with its suspension!?
Is it just me or does it look like it has been raised up by two or three inches. The arch gap seems a little...
Hello everyone, I've made another thread before about my previous 172 Cup which I sold in 2013. Got the new ST, change of circumstances in work and new priorities ( house deposit ) meant that it wasn't worth it anymore.
I've since purchased another Cup however already had some issues. 3...
So it was my 21st the over day and I got given the best cake ever. Everyone knows how much I love my cup. I couldn't help notice it was missing a front splitter though ;).
Thought it was worthy of a share on here.
After spending a year in the 172 cup, I decided that as much as I love the car I wanted something newer and more comfy for doing lots of motorway miles, but still have similar economy and performance. Went and test drove the new clio 200 (didn't think much of it) then test drove the new ST a day...
So I've placed an order for a new car, however if I'm right in thinking the said car will take near on 3 months to come soo....
I'm considering asking about an already built ST the same dealer has. I've paid a £500 deposit however for them to place the build order for my car.
How likely is it...
So me and Dan Edser decided to meet up and get some pictures, seeming as he is jetting of to New Zealand soon. The car is now standard, which is a real shame. The pictures came out ok... some HDR photo's which I hadn't tried before. Any excuse for a photo session though! :D

So I've tried to re-create a fancy video by a production company called Format67. So far I've managed to get my hands on some fairly nice cars. And I've used my clio also :D. Its not complete yet and the deadline is on the 24th of this month. All opinions and comments welcome. You guys like car...
Was wondering if some of you can help me out. I've recently purchased a set of these:http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=1580&manufacturer=FK&category=Lighting
And used this as a guide to fit them:http://www.cliosport.net/content/guides/fubar/cluster_guide.pdf
I'm still...
So what do you guys think? not sure if this could be a re-post. They look pretty cool, but would they really save you all that much? quite cool though just to have. Shame its only in America...

Pretty sure I spotted a couple of clio sports. So many nice cars out tonight in t.wells. Fiesta St, Type R, Corsa VXR, Focus RS, Porsches, Cupar R's. so many cant remember. What the hell was going on!?
I'm going to give my lights another go and was wondering if I could use any old polish to buff them up? I have some autoglym super resin polish, would that do?
Possibly might buy an exhaust system on here but looks as if its got the twin cat from the original Ph1. Would that fit onto my ph2 172 Cup?
if this has been discussed before then I apologise. Advanced search didn't help me
cheers
Im a student and this year get to do my own project. Im aiming to create a video similar to that of Format 67 [they do awesome car videos], & just wondered if anyone would let me film their v6? It can be parked up, stationary. Just want it to be in a cool surrounding/location. Heres some of the...
I've got an issue. My tyre has gone flat and I can't get the valve cap off to pump it up. If I can't get it off the only other option is to jack it up and get the inner tube replaced. [Tyre might be flat due to standing for a week] Any advice on getting it off? I've tried pliers, and a lot of...
Getting matched inlets in Feb and iTG filter + remap. Just wondering if there's a nearer place to me than KTEC & dare I say it, cheaper. £489 all in, not sure
Got my first 'Decent Car' december 2012 at the age of 19. Always wanted one of these, so proper glad I got my hands on it. Here's a couple of pictures when I first got it at the garage. It was lacking a little bit of care and attention, and just needed some love TBH.
This is pretty much the...
