It has been suggested that a project thread on my recently acquired 182 Cup might be well received and would provide me with a reminder of the journey of getting the car back up together... Found on Facebook, I purchased the car from a guy in Glastonbury, nice and local to me. I was looking...

Hi (again)! ? Back in the Clio fold having just bought another 182 Cup. Started my Clio affair when I bought a 172 Cup brand new back in 2003, then a 182 Cup and ph1 vee and a ph1 172 I bought and built into a tarmac rally car. Back once again with an 05 reg RB purchased yesterday. It’s a bit...

Any one know if a Valver subframe is broadly the same as a 172 subframe? I need a sump guard and YBRacing list one for all Clio's but in the catalogue OMP state that it fits 1.8 and 2.0 Clios, and I'm thinking that they mean valvers and williams, rather than 172's. Any help would be...

Anyone got a hi res copy of this photo kicking about? Probably going to look like a noob, but I've been trawling through google images for the last hour, and thats the bes I've found. :(

I'm looking to buy some ARP big end bolts for my 172, and wandered if the bolts on a 172 are the same as a valvers. Anyone know? Cheers!

.... Exactly the same as mine! Friday evening at 6:40 on the A38 / A371 roundabout south of Weston-super-Mare. Can't beleive that 1/9th of all the Inferno Recaro'd Cups was in the same place at the same time! Rare, my arse! ;)

My brother still has his R27 for sale. He has found a new car, so has dropped the price again to make sure it sells, and he doesn't miss this Focus ST. Now £9999 no offers! Got to be the cheapest R27 in the world! http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/803723.htm Its absolutely mint, he...

Anyone know if the early Clio 2 Poverty models come with manual window winders rather than leccy ones? If they do, anyone want to swap me their manual regulatorsand handles for my Electric ones and the door looms?

Hi, Bit of a wierd question but here goes... I am in the process of building a Ph 1 172 tarmac rally car, and need to disable the ABS. The thought of ABS kicking in on ice, or on rough ground is scary enough, but I also plan on fitting a hydraulic handbrake, which will just confuse the...

I thought that I would start a thread detailing the build of my Ph1 172 Tarmac rally car. I know that Hollister has a thread going about his rally car build, but my car isn't going to be anywhere near as competative as his, as I have not got the budget. :( The independant throttle bodies and 6...

Took the Clio for a bit of a jaunt down to Magny Cours to watch the french grand prix. Took 2 days to get there and stopped in Reims on the way. The Elise shown in the pics is my brother in laws car. Had a fantastic time, great roads and weather, and it was good to stretch the cars legs in its...

When I bought my 182 Cup, it had no tyre inflator cans, so I've bought some more from Renault. Just 1 question... Where are the bloody things kept?! My old 172 Cup had them in a foam wrap, velcro'd to the spare wheel well. Anyone got any clue?

After a brief forray into Elise ownership, I'm pleased to say that I'm back in the Clio Sport set. I collected my 05 plate Inferno 182 Cup (With Recaros :D) 2 weeks ago, and have made a couple of small mods to make it mine. The day I picked it up. I work in the trade and bought it through a...

I'm after rough dimensions of a clio 172 engine, height width and depth. Anyone got that info, or have you got a 172, a tape measure and nothing to do for the next 5 minutes?!

Sold my Clio Cup recently, and today was the day that it was taken away from me! :cry: Can't believe how selling the cup has affected my mood. After all it is just a car! Sold the cup to a lady who lives near Street, and passed on a CS flyer too. Just got to wait until I get my V6. That...
