JohnassanRS Posted 24, April 2010 Report Share Posted 24, April 2010 Hey everyone, i'm new to Renault, i've spent alot of time under the hood of Civics and Commodores but thought its about time a bought myself something FUN lol. Bought myself a nice 2003 RenaultSport Clio 172 about 2 months ago and i must say one of the first cars i've owned that just makes me smile when i drive it lol. 10/10 for styleing & 10/10 for performance. I do have some planes, was thinking of getting the stripe kit for my car, thought it would look pretty cool in silver. Also was thinking an intake and maybe something with the exhaust but as i said im new and to be truthful im still doing alot of research on the car to see whats out there and ofcorse what u guys have done that i can learn from. Im open to suggestions guys, please tell me what u think of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted 25, April 2010 Report Share Posted 25, April 2010 Welcome aboard J, Glad to hear you're enjoying your ride and then some. Intake - seems most are looking at ITG and/or Clio ph 1 intakes and/or Clio V6 intakes. Exhaust - these things are great as they are and as you have discovered. But if you're after a nicer note etc. then a good quality back box ($), or cat back system ($$$) may help there. Make sure you leave surplus cash for servicing and parts...how many kms do you have on it? Noticed your Drivers Side washer jet is missing it's ball mount... for example. Send me an email if i can help with anything and feel free to read and ask around the forum. We're all happy to help. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnassanRS Posted 26, April 2010 Author Report Share Posted 26, April 2010 Thanks guys, I've gone with a cat back from Liverpool exhaust that tuf182 kind of talked me into after driving his 182cup my car has just rolled over to 79,000km and besides needing a new coil pack it's going great. With the ball joint for the washer I've actually decided to somehow remove the washer and replace with a cap on each side? Had it been done? Can anyone help?

JohnassanRS Posted 26, April 2010 Author Report Share Posted 26, April 2010 Likewise Oleg I'm going for the same system as Meho tuf182 although obviously it won't have the twin pipes. And I still want the tip hidden away in true 172 sleepa style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it been done? Can anyone help? The washer jet is $30 each - delivered. The washer jet Blanks (that cover the holes) are $144 delivered. Plus legally you need the washer jets - but that's a personal choice. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
