172

Spotted a gorgeous PH1 172 in Liquid Yellow coming off the m27 going into Southampton, headed off Eastleigh Way. Had a private registration and the chap driving gave me a wave in my Iceberg 182.....If you see this or know who this is, let me know! I need a cruise buddy!

So after a year of procrastonating and buying crap cars, i finally bit the bullet and flew from belfast to middlesbrough to buy this lovley 172 cup. I spoke to 10 different people and went over to sheffield for a 182 2 weeks ago to find out it was a heap, so it tooksome serious amout of...

Looking to change the Lambda sensor on my Cup,not sure which one I need from GSF as there is a few listed,any help please on which one I need? My cup is a 53 plate if that helps.

Here is an interesting video I saw on Youtube of many generations of Clio battling it out:

I know its been covered loads & i have read other threads.I have eibach sportlines on my 172 cup at the mo with new dampers,but i want it to sit lower.So my 2 others choices are cooksport or H&R.So im just after a couple of side profile photos of 172 cups on either of these spring choices please...

Looking at getting a de-cat system set up on my 172 Clio, how do I tell there difference between a 172 and a 182 manifold? Seems difficult to track down a decent priced 172 de-cat pipe but loads of 182 de-cats on ebay etc? So I'm hoping mines has a 182 manifold on it already.

Doing weekly checks I noticed the aux belt had moved too rings off the pas pulley, The aux kit was done less than a month ago and the belt is bowstring tight and I put tipex across crank pulley and thats not moved, garage thinks it might be pas pump but it makes no noises even on full lock Any...

I would like to replace my engine undertray (I don't really need to, but it's got some damage on it and I'd like to). Since they seem to get damaged or thrown away a lot I'm not holding out much hope of finding an intact one second hand on here, but I would like to know if there is any real...

Having checked a few threads on here there seems to have been a little- not much, but a little- confusion over the years but the general consensus seems to be that the Ph2 172 Cup's windscreen is the same as a standard base-model no-electronics-or-electrics Clio 1.2's windscreen and is not...

There she is. The car that looks like Stewie of family guy. As an Impulsive character I have a tendency to buy junk.. Little did I know that this little shoe-box is going to stay in my life for so long ! Started out with an eBay ad (as they all do) with the intention of swapping the Auto box...

Hi, Running a 172 for road rallying, so ride height is up. Looking to swap the 6" and helper spring out for a 10". Just looking for advised spring rates. Currently running 335lbs (KTec) I've been advised 190lbs. Any help would be great! Thanks

Hey guys, i live in Australia and have recently purchased a standard 172. What would be the first on the list of mods that dont break the bank... want to increase power and torque and handling . i hear that k-tec are good for tuning softwear and DIY kits... ???? Any guys in Australia thats...

I have just bought my second Clio. a 2003 1.2 Extreme. I would like to get a 172 kit on it. Do all phase 2 Clio's have plastic wings? This one has them, it also has clear side repeaters., I have a suspicion it may already have 172 wings on it?Do they look like 172 wings? Anyhow, I would like to...

Just bought a stripped out Clio 172 '02 from my mate and having trouble starting it. It starts ok using a booster pack, which is how we got it on and off the transporter, but it wont start on its own. I don't know too much about the electronics side of things so bear with me please. I charged...

Just thought I would start a thread, I have had a R plate 1.4, 53 plate 1.2 dynamique, 04 plate 1.6 16v, 02 plate BG 172 in the past, I know have an Astra gtc but an iceberg silver 172 project, I got it for nothing but needed a bottom end so just decided to replace the engine, I have brand new...

Looked nice and tidy. Noticed the sticker in the back window.

New to the forums, picked up my 172 sport the other night and it keeps throwing up an engine management light, plugged it into a diagnostic machine and it came up with destructive misfire code 278, has anybody else had this issue in the past? The code reader says spark/coil issue, on the night i...

Evening ClioSport readers. I am back in a Clio, my third one now, I just can't get enough of the little buggers! Had an old 16v dynamique as my first car and absolutely abused the s**t out of the poor thing for about a year until i chopped it in at 120k miles (for a mk4 golf.... not making that...

Just lost my fuel pump tonight. Have 12 volts to pump and fuel gauge but even the hammer trick was only good for 20 mins. AA tow home confirms pump as u/s. Europarts do a new unit for £155 but can I break out the fuel pump and replace that on its own. There are some units on Ebay at £30 but...

What exactly other than bore size differs the 172 catback from a 1.4 or 1.6 catback? Reason I'm asking is a company is offering exhaust systems in stainless steel for 1.4 and 1.6 but no Sports. I asked them if they could make an exhaust with a slightly bigger bore for my 172, but unfortunately...

Going to refurb the wheels soon what colour though white. Silver grey black or gold

Hi, I need to replace my front wheel bearing on my 172 cup, and a look on euro car parts is telling me there are two sizes (40ID 84OD or 37ID 72OD). K-tec has different categories for 182 Cups and everything else, but it doesn't say which is larger. Renault parts direct has different bearings...

They both looked considerably nicer than mine even though I only caught a glimpse of either. Anyone spot the 182 rally car? I need it desperately!

L80 LEP Blonde girl driving with loud exhaust and lowered. Anyone off here?

Can anybody tell me if there I s there any differences between the 2.0 engine and gearbox in an ordinary 2002 Clio 172, and the Cup variant? Thanks

Doing an engine swap from 51 Plate 172 into 04 Plate 182, the looms appear to be the same apart from 1 plug (I'm trying to get a photo of it) It goes into the fusebox (with the big white main plug) it is a white plug a little smaller than the main one and only has 4 or so wires to it? thats the...

What would be the best way to get some extra negative camber on the front on a ph1 ? Ive got 172 cup dampers and lower wishbones fitted but when compared to ph2s they seem to have more negative camber Is it just the sub frames that differ other than that? Cheers
