I haven’t had the time to get back under the car but I cannot think of another way to get those inserts in other than just taking the whole subframe out. Taking the subframe out looks involved. I can do it but with the snails rate at which I go about working on my car, it’ll take months lol

Great! Thanks guys- I’m all signed up. I took your advice Frank, so I’m sure this will pay dividends.

Hi everyone, I’m wanting to sign up for a paid subscription so I can view some of the “How to” threads. I went to the sticky to find out how to become a paid member but I don’t see where it described to click in order to do so? It said click on “user cp” in the menu but not seeing it… Thanks...

Oh yeah? I just checked them out (Rivnuts)- I wouldn’t even know what type to use, size and all of that. You did the exact same ones for yours? What type did you use?

I haven’t tried tapping it out- what do you mean by this exactly? If what you’re referring to is removing the brackets, I haven’t the slightest idea how to get it out as it’s inside the subframe from what I understand. What’s the best way to access it? Do I remove the entire subframe? Good to...

funMACHINE- You’re a lifesaver man, thanks. I didn’t think to think that this was a separate bracket and that it wasn’t fixed into the subframe. I did some pretty deep searching and I finally I came across this genuine Renault parts website and a match came up. Does this look like this is it...

Looks like I found it, the front subframe crossmember: https://eurosubframes.com/products/new-nissan-micra-renault-clio-mk3-modus-front-subframe-crossmember-8200766078?variant=44316132901096 Any aftermarket stuff out there for this or something more durable? An reputable vendors?

Hi all, I was trying to put my subframe bracket (this thing below) but it seems that one of the threads in the subframe is shot. What part do I need to replace for this? How bad is it to drive with this and the subframe brace/bracket screwed in at only 3 points? Also, my lower engine...

That’s interesting. Anyone know something more on this?

No. Either way it doesn’t get you gains in power or lose anything. Anyone else with more expertise please feel free to correct me.

More noise when accelerating in first or second gear. I’ve gotten used to it now but the first couple of dozen times it just sounds louder from any lightish-moderate acceleration in low RPMs. You don’t have to wait until 3500 or so for that rush of engine noise to hit you. It’s noticeable and...

True. Rowe, I had a glimmer of hope after the first few short drives I took as it didn’t throw any faults but it finally did the other day. Ethan, you beat me to it. I was going to post some pictures on here to show what to connect if you don’t want any faults or dashboard lights and what the...

OoOoOh- man, I was thinking it was an alternator all these years (I won’t live this down). If it was, then the battery light would illuminate then, I suppose. This very well may have to do with the acoustic valve removal. Thanks again, Rowe.

Maybe it’s my American English- I’m not sure what you guys call it but it looks like this haha:

An update from me- had a few short drives after removing the acoustic valve and there certainly is a noticeable amount of extra growl (can’t find the right adjective) that’s emitted in lower gears in the 2k-3kish range. It’s really pleasant but not too much. On the third drive today, I finally...

Hi all, I feel like I’ve been spamming the board these last several months but there’s always an ever evolving amount of projects with my Clio. To keep it short, usually within the first 10 minutes of driving the orange alternator light starts flashing for like 15 seconds then disappears. No...

Hey guys, glad I came across this. What happened we to the OP hasn’t happened to me but I’ve removed this front brace/stiffener twice. The first time I put it back on, I tightened it pretty good without using a torque wrench. No problems. Several weeks later, it came back off. I had bought a...

Love the autocorrect- “detuned” not defined.

Must’ve been for the defined 2’0 liter or the small engines.

What’s up with my airbox? Was it glued together or something? Lol I ordered a replacement but apparently it’s for another RS Clio as it didn’t match in size. I’ll post another picture in a second of the wrong one.
