Evening all.
I recently had a Gripper differential installed into my gearbox. Supplied by Gripper via Pure and installed by a reputable firm.
The gearbox has been refitted to the car by professionals using the correct gear oil.
I've been told the car vibrates quite significantly when turning...
Morning all,
I'm pleased to present this weekend's purchase.
A 2002 172 Cup in Mondial Blue with just over 83,000 miles and easily the cleanest Cup i have seen for a number of years.
You may recognise the car from Cstarby's thread which was then purchased by @Lewigi_69 here in the summer of...
Hi everyone
I'm currently having my 172 Cup track car recommissioned.
The engine is out, it's having a new belt set, manifold and while it's out I would like to install a gripper diff and clutch.
What is the consensus on clutches for these cars?
I'm out of touch and could use some advice...
Pretty pumped on this little motor.
It's like being 17 again, reminds me of my mate's Clio Williams back in 2004.
Here's a photo, some of you may have seen it on ebay
Stumbled upon this rare little beast yesterday while walking the dogs.
Complete with bucket seats, cage, cut of switch etc
I'm down the road in Edgcott if it's anyone from here
Loving this thing.
Mitsubishi Evolution IX Wagon GT
Being the GT, it's 6 speed manual with plated RS rear diff.
Current mods include
Ohlins coilovers with top mounts
Alcon 6 piston front
Alcon 4 piston rear
SuperPro Roll centre kit
SuperPro full bush kit
Tuned to 400BHP with big Intercooler...
I just snapped up a very appealing deal from Virgin media mobile.
Galaxy S6 32GB
4GB data and unlimited calls,texts for £35pm
No upfront charge for phone.
Virgin advertise as using the EE network.
Samsung tablet for an extra £2pm
So all in 37pm, which I thought was a really good deal..... That...
I have had a search but couldn't really find what I was looking for.
Can anyone advise on deleting the rear brake compensator and if a bias valve needs to be installed in it's place (futher upstream) or if the brake balance is ok with just hoses in place.
Any help gratefully received.

I thought I would share some photos of my car with you all. As I'm finally pleased with how it's come together.
Had this Cup four years and taken her out 5 times! Going out tomorrow to Pembrey for an MLR Sprint, so looking forward to that.
I still have a spare engine, box, loom and Ecu, so I'm thinking of putting it to some use but I have a few questions.
Does anyone know off the top of their head, how much the engine/ engine+box weighs? I can weigh it all but if someone knows, its easier!
I have the engine loom and ECU but...
I want to put my iPod in my car but retain the dash display and the remote control. Apart from those FM transmitter types is there another option? A different headunit and loose the screen and control?

Yesterday I picked up my 172 Cup and by the end of the day the Airbag light and SERV light were on. They've been on since too.... Pretty annoyed about it but any ideas what could be the cause of the problem? The airbag(s) obviously but I just thought I'd ask. Gonna take it to Renault or can I...

Right.... I got the engine and everything else out from my 172, I'm left with a bundle of wires now! I assumed it would have connectors to the bulkhead so that it could be seperated? It appears not, I'm selling the whole lot on ebay and have tomorrow to get it out. Can any of you boys tell me...
I need to have a winge about my car... What the f**k were Renault thinking when they designed the 172 bay!?! Replacing the tensioner is proving to be quite a job. I'm replacing it becuase its brittle and chipped. Also, it had no bolt securing it to the car, it was only sat on the shaft??!?!?! I...
I did a bit of search on this. Some say its a headlight and bumper off job, while others say 5min with a 15mm combi? Ive got to replace the bottom pulley as its whining like a mal-nourished dog. Ive ordered the pulley, I just need someone to tell me the easiest way to slip the belt off or...
Hi everyone, I looked at a Mk1 172 today wth 59k on it. It doesn't seem to be a bad car but has a 'chipped and mapped' ecu. Im familiar with re-mapping cars but doing it on the standard ECU on the 172? is this common? The guy selling has no receipts for the work but says its 200bhp-ish? Im not a...
