Thought i'd give another update, so as planned the cam belt, clutch and gearbox were all done along with the quaife being fitted. Initially when i collected the car i found it to be odd when driving and on further inspection i found that one of the wishbone bolts hadn't been tightened by the...

i'm pretty sure its a flash map from them not a custom car specific map, i'm from kingswinford and drove to efi runcorn for my map and wouldn't think twice about doing it again

Yeah i've found the B14's pretty good, they're a happy medium for road and track bit soft for track whilst not being crashy on the road.

Sorry for the mass of photos ect but it gives a pretty good picture of where the car is currently. Moving forward my plans are to start hillclimbing with the clio with my first event being next month, I'd also like to do another trip to the nurburgring with the car (hopefully get a dry day...

A few more pictures from shows and gatherings

Aside from the modifications the cars seen a few days of track use and has held up well for the abuse it been given, my main "stomping ground" is curborough with it being a local track with some competition. heres a few photos and some clips: donnington: sadly this was a short session so...

From there i'm not sure what order the parts came in so i'll just list out the other bits done Some nice mats in theme with the car and this forum I also purchased a ultra racing front strut brace and rear anti roll bar, i didnt feel much difference with the rear arb but the strut brace made...

After a couple more outings at curborough the ad08's fitted to the lagunas werent fairing too well and a nail in the one spelled the end of them so i ordered up a set of AR-1's in time for a club trackday at blyton park. and i have to say what a great tyre these really grip in the dry...

My next move was to add some noise. I thought about this for a long time and decided on a resonated scorpion system with sports cat to keep the car mot friendly. Living at the bottom of a cul-de-sac this also kept the car neighborhood friendly and helps with noise levels on track Once fitted...

That day i found the car to be quite twitchy on the rear end and although skeptical decided to try a cup spoiler, i had this hydrodipped with a carbon fiber effect After that i was again pretty content with the car for a while my next move was where the jps bit started. I decided i fancied...

I enjoyed the car for a while and attended a few meets (quite enjoyed detailing at this point) After the first year of owning the car and attending the clio sport weekender i decided on two things the first being the car needed lowering and the second that i wanted to start doing trackdays. so...

Sorry think i have it sussed now in order as they would of been in the original post

Hello, thought i'd start a build thread of the 197 although being nearly 3 years late.... So back 3 years ago i fancied a hot hatch after looking for a Mini cooper s i came home with a clio 197. At the time it was a low mileage car with decent service history and i planned on keeping it for a...

Hello, are there any guides for removing the steering wheel or gear knob? or fitting a new gear gaiter? thanks

thanks for the reply, plugs aren't that old but i will pull them and have a look, i think its more of a spark issue than a fueling issue as it pops and bangs ridiculous amounts to what it used to. after having a quick glance it has got 3 oe renault coils and 1 aftermarket coil so one has been...

Some of you may of seen my thread regarding the engine management light being on a few weeks ago, had a look under the car and found the exhaust clamp between the manifold and cat was loose, tightened this and the light went off (hooray) thought that would be the end of it but a couple of weeks...

Scorpion exhaust (resonated) + sport cat 9/10 gives a nice tone to the car, quiet enough for me on the motorway and round town but makes a great noise when on full throttle Bilstein b14 10/10 personal opinion for a daily car that occasionally touches track these are unrivaled. soft enough for...

hello, driving home the other day down the motorway and suddenly the engine management light and check emissions came on the dash. i've had it plugged in and its given the code p0420. the car has a sports cat fitted but thats been on over 6 months without issue. I'm hoping changing a lambda...

Hello, Currently trying to swap out my standard springs for coilovers, removed everything and got down to the hubs and the pinch bolt in the back of both sides will not budge (been in there 9 years at a guess) going to try some heat tomorrow again as we ran out of gas today before we could...
