Hi guys, Fitting brembos on my 172 today running 280 discs. The caliper has been machined to fit 15” wheels. I have 15” team dynamic e40 (1.2 15x7.0 e40 4x100 60.1 B53) . Tried to fit the wheel on without spacers and it was a no go as the brembo is hitting the wheel. Tried adding a 10mm spacer...

Looking for advice on a engine dynamics 172 low boost conversion, I seem to have an oil leak coming from the oil outlet of the t28 turbo, I have spent time, cleaning and monitoring the leak, the oil return pipe has had a constant flow of oil showing on the pipe so I am adamant it's the seal on...

i need to get my 172 half cage powder coated in black. Can anyone recommend someone around high Wycombe (Buckinghamshire) who offers this service? I have had a quote for £100 but that seemed expensive after hearing of far cheaper prices on this forum.

Hi Guys, Looking to fit a set of Luke 4 Point harnesses, is there any good photos showing the exact positioning to fit the anchors on a 172 Cup or a guide? I am running corbeau club sport seats on a XL low frame. I assume I need to drill the holes and not weld, I also received the plates from...

Within the past 3 weeks of picking up my Clio 172 Cup I have completed 3 track days at Rockingham, Bedford and Brands. The car was bought as a Track car and only commuting on the roads to and from the track. I have learnt a great deal about the car but I need some help with the next stages to...

Hi Guys, I am finding it increasingly hard when I do track days to find 98 octane fuel or over as my 172 is running the 98 remap. Is it OK to run the car on 97 octane instead, still classed as super unleaded but advertised as 97? The nearest petrol station to brands hatch is texaco who claim...

Looking to change the cv boot today on the driver outer, I don't have a cone to put on the boot. I was going to heat the boot up in boiling water then stretch over, I hear online people who have used the top of a coke bottle instead of a cone and to lubricate with oil. Has anyone tried this or...

Hi Guys, Can someone confirm the battery size on a 172 Cup? The original battery is 063, can a larger battery fit in, the previous owner gave me a larger battery however it seems very tight with the ITG induction kit, Euro car parts seem to think the 063 battery size is not correct for the car...
