Hi guys, new here.

Thought I would throw up a few pics of my motor. Its a Renaultsport Clio 172. Not many mods, just a few "upgrades"

Engine:
ITG Panel filter
restrictive air feed removed
Decat
Stainless stealth exhaust system

Chassis:
Koni dampning adjustable shocks
Apex 40mm springs

Looking good, on my second now, great little cars!

[Arthur Daley]

Great cars, i ve had two and fancy a third!

[Mr Gearchange]

Quality paedobear sticker.

Nice! Wish I got a 172 now with the single hidden exhaust. My 182 is a bit obvious and I want more stealth!

Decent choice, looks clean and simple.

First Off Welcome.

These RenaultSport Clio's are reallygrowing on me.

Your's looks great! I like the subtle 'Renault F1' sticker.

The only thing I don't like is that Halfords 'Sport' badge on the boot but I am nit-picking.

Enjoy!

Sport badge is standard.

Nice car. Nice mods.

Where did you get that exhaust. I want to get a better exhaust the standard parts are poor quality. Most have the visible rear pipe. I prefer the hidden pipe.

Also you mention the restrictive air flow mod. How did you do that. Did you notice much difference.

Really great cars, I've had my 172 cup a year now. It's a fantasic car. Allthough mine is totaly standard at the moment, I may have to upgrade the exhaust soon.

The Sport badge is standard kit. But your right, you can buy the same badge in halfords which is a bit of a shame.

Decided I'm going down the 172 route as a bit of a weekend fun car in the New Year - seem to offer great value for money

Oh I didn't know that the sport badges were standard. Sorry OP.

One of the imminent plans for mine is to visit K-tec racings website and order the new 'Renaultsport' badge, then swap it for the one Halfords have copied.....looks much better imo.

Airflow mod is to pull the pipe from the acoustic valve off. Best, and coldest airflow is where the pipe meets the airbox. Gets a little "throatier" too

My system is just a random stainless, butif you want the best, search for a BTB Stealth. Expensive, but considered the best for these

[falkster]

Great cars!! Just bought one myself for some track fun!!

[GTR Cook]

Nice example, great little cars.

How are the Apex springs?

[Altrezia]

Cool car - I just picked up a 182 as a daily hack, and I'm bloody impressed. I reckon it'd be just as fast around a track as my Elise. Might even put that to the test at Brands in a couple of weeks.

[rumple]

quality car, you mention these to people as a good hothatch and they turn their nose up, fookin braindeaders sniff and say rather have german, or i couldnt live with the plastic's, great little car mate, giant killer

[Beefmeister]

Great car - i had a Monaco Blue 172 myself and it's a great colour.

I had a K-Tec Stealth unit, made a very rude noise under load
