Hi guys, Clio is dropping coolant. Had a look underneath and this appears to be the source. Whatever it is, it seems to be disintegrating! For the non mechanically minded, what is it?!

Ok, so this is something that’s know I will have to decide myself and that everyone will have a varying opinion. I would however be interested to hear some thoughts on this. I’ve had my 172 Cup for almost 5 years now and I love it. Bought off a member on here who had owned it for about 7 years...

Hi folks, Noob question time. Car just back from having suspension refresh and work. I've gone to give the bay a quick clean and noticed that f/o/s top mount (outer piece black rubber) is loose and can be spun with my hand? Other side is tight as I would expect. Should this be tight? Car has...

New issue of evo landed this morning. It's got a nice twin test of alien green CL10 CUP against the new Peugeot 208 GTi in Wales. Let's just say, even with 8 years extra development the competition hasn't quite caught up.

Folks, My car has a few bits of trim missing which were taken out previously to save weight. I'd like to source them and stick them back on so it's complete. I need a handbrake trim cover, rear carpet (may come as one as half cut out), boot liner trim / carpet. Being a 172 Cup are these...

Following Ben Lowden's Clio Trophy and 172 Cup articles on Pistonheads I couldn't resist this car which appeared on Cliosport locally around the time. I had a bit of a dash to get there before 2 or 3 other viewers but made it and bagged a bargain for my runabout. The previous owner had it for 7...

I'm sitting here a rather happy chappy and thought I would share my latest delivery with you guys..... Cheers Jack at Royal Steering Wheels. Over the moon with it. Having had the suspension and steering refreshed last week it would have been rude not to.

Had a couple of set backs this week which have made me appreciate what I've got and make the best of it! Decided it's time to show my 172 Cup some love as I will be keeping it for a while yet. I bought this car off a member on here for £1000 3 years ago. Use it everyday and now doing about 50...

Evening gents, I've had my 172 Cup for couple of years now and love it. When I bought it, it had standard suspension with RE050A on front and Toyos on the rear. It handled great, really pointy with no discernible understeer on the road. Since then I fitted eibach sportlines, Pilot Sport 3...

Hi guys, I bought my 172 Cup in June and the previous owner had fitted this airbox. It doesn't look like other V6 ones I have seen - is it an Espace one? It's fitted with a panel filter and does make a nice sound. My water temp needle usually sits just below half. On hard driving /...

Hi guys, Got full alignment done last week on a Hunter machine. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to things like this - what do you think of the numbers? That morning I had my worn Bridgestone RE050A (front) Toyo T1R (rear) replaced with a set of new PS3. I have done about 100 miles since...

Hi folks, I know this has been done before however I would like to see if there is anymore up to date info / opinions. I've had my Cup since June, it's my first Clio and I am having a blast in it. It's 99% a road car although I am planning to track it a couple of times next year and it doesn't...
