Hi guys, wanted to see if the forum has any experience. I currentyl have the Ultra Racing rear brace in the Clio, and since it does not mount to the shock towers, I wanted to see from you guys if anyone has any direct experience with both options? Is the K-brace better - subjectively speaking...

Hi guys, Time has come to replace my stock shifter linkage and cables, and I was thinking to get the PMS kit to do away with any issues with slack, etc. Car is mostly a track car with some intermittent daily / weekend driving duties, and has almost full interior, carpets, etc. I know a few...

Anyone know where I can source replacement clips for the stock side skirts? the driver's side skirt has been hanging for years, I feel like its time to fix it.

Looked to ring in the new year by trying out some new bits - fitted a DNA rear ARB, curious to see what it would do. Good fun all around, especially getting surprised by a Senna at full pace! Shame about the rain on the way to the track tho, what to do.

Hi guys, I recently bought and installed the PMS stud and nut conversion kit: Motorsport Spec bullet tipped screw in M14 stud conversion kit with steel nuts (pure-motorsport.co.uk) They come with 60 degree tapered nuts. I only just learned that the nut size, taper etc might be an issue for...

Hi guys, I am looking for the spec / type of bolt used at the bottom of the shock to connect it to the rear beam axle. I recently purchased a DNA racing rear sway bar and they mount via drop links to this point, which takes something like 20mm of the bolt length and causes the bolt to just...

Hi guys, wanted to see if anyone came across this issue: I am on my third dipped beam bulb on the front right side (when facing the car). This is the drivers dipped beam for LHD cars. Any idea why this one keeps burning out? The passenger side one is just fine and chugging along. The last...

Hi guys, has anyone figured out the life of our engine components? I am curios bc my car sees 4-5 track days a year easily, plus 10k+ street kms with a lot of spirited driving in between. I am closing in on 140k kms on the car and am wondering if there's a benchmark point where I should start...

Hi guys, I thought I would check here. I have a Mk3 Clio RS '12, and recently had an ABS pump failure. I have purchased a replacement with the same part number, but the pump needs to be initialized and calibrated. I only have an RS Tuner to work with for now. Can I buy the ABS module from...

Hi guys, I have a set of KW topmounts for my later-style Mk3 Clio (small opening). I wanted to see what the consensus is here with enlarging the top hole to make accessing the camber adjustment easier? Has anyone enlarged the hole? Did you use anything to brace them? Any long-term drawbacks...

Anyone know what the expected lifespan of the driveshafts on the Mk3 Clio is? Mine have done just over 115k kms, and looks like the shorter one (drivers side) has a CV joint that is going bad. I want to figure out if its because of mishandling from the last garage, or age. Also, when I...

I wanted to post up a review of my LSD, as I think it would be beneficial for everyone on here to know about all options available when modding your car. I bought it off @Matt Scarbro who was going to drop it into his Clio, however his plans changed. I figured I would give it a shot to see if...

Anyone tried to open those up from the arch liners? Does it do anything for cooling?

I need to order parts to get my gearbox rebuilt, I've got the crunch after 98k kms. The dealer where I live charges an arm and a leg for parts and labor, so I plan to buy parts online and take the car to a garage for the work. What would I need to buy to be able to drop off the parts and car...

I thought I would post this here and see if anyone more knowledgeable than myself would be able to point me in the right direction. Last night at a track event, I went into a hard downhill braking zone (170-70ish kph) and the rear of the car squatted hard. Usually the Clio is on the nose going...

I thought I would post this on the forum. I recent installed the powerflex parts for the torque arm, upper gearbox mount and the dogbone insert. After install, with the AC off everything is fine, there is minmal vibration. However, when I have the AC on and the car drops to idle, my steering...

I am looking to upgrade my clio to get a bit more camber out of the front. I was planning to get the powerflex bushings, however a thought occurred to me. Buying the bushings is almost 50% of buying top mounts, so would it make more sense to just get top mounts? will the two work together, or...

I know this is a bit silly to ask, but I have never owned a car with such short gearing. I have a 200, and I am looking to possibly take her on a 10+hr drive on roads where the min speed is 140kph if you don't want to be a road hazard. Will the car put up with that kind of stress? Thats more...

I just recently bought a used 2012 Clio RS, and I really am in love with the car. I get the biggest smile on my face just thinking about it! However, I have come from a lineage of automatic cars and, so the Clio marks my first foray into manual cars as a DD. I have driven manuals on occasion...
