THe 172s arent bad cars, ive just fallen out with Renaults after the best car ive ever bought turned into the worse. looks a nice clean one youve got, watch the lower ball joints, dephaser pulley and the dodgy electrics and you will be fine. Whatever you do though, dont join cliosport.net, literally the worse forum ive ever been on!!

Pre-tensioner wiring Jay?, just do away with the plug and hard wire the coont.
Seen 2 Renaults last week (mk2 Clio and a Traffic) with same issue, even just disconnecting and reconnecting the plug and clearing the code works as a temporary measure.

i had a 182 cup gordinin that eats 172 for breakfast.. 172 are funm but the 182 are more fun and quicker having different manifolds etc.. proper cars that handle great.. i killed mine every single day and nothing ever set foot wrong.. wicked cars!!! sold it to get my s1 custom but one day ill have one again
Ive got several clios at the moment including a gordini blue 182, and there isnt anything better about them, they have slightly better inlet manifolds (which cost all of 40 quid secondhand if you want to swap) and they have a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold instead of the 4-1 but it doesnt see any real extra power (ive tried both manifolds on the same car and it made almost naff all difference), they simply arent 10bhp more, more like 3-4, nothing at all you would notice.
For a trackday car, the 172 cup is the best bet

They are quite literally batshit crazy over there, but that said its still a good searchable resource, there is a lot of decent info on there.
Join the clio sport owners club on facebook Jay if you ever want to interact with other clio owners, thats a decent place to chat clios.

Im banned for life from CS.net because I asked publically if the admin guy was actually mental after he went into my girlfriends Trax thread and started editing the pictures to get rid of any logos from other car clubs, they take it all a bit too seriously

Im now in possesion of my 172 There are a multitude of things wrong, one of them being the baffles in the rear box have gone and its rattling. Seems little point paying out for a new standard exhaust (cat back) so i was looking at K-Tec Racing exhuasts. Any opinions of them and their exhuasts?

Not bad little cars really, especially when you see the abuse they get. Only thing I don't like is the lack of room, they certainly weren't designed with a bloke in mind. Feel like I need to take my shoes off to drive them.
