Good Afternoon All, I don't believe you can buy OEM drive shafts anymore therefore any recommendations would be welcomed. Its for a Clio 182 Cup OS. Thanks Tom

Good Evening All, Does anyone know if you can run Recaro SPG's and a full cage. Ideally with the seat mounted directly to the XL JonFoz subframe. I believe Pole Positions fit, although only seen them mounted with runners which I want to avoid at all costs. Any help would be great. Tom

Good Evening All, A few weekends ago I collected my 182 from storage. It has been parked up since August 2020 and not moved since then. Took a booster pack, started first time. Drove the car home and on a few occasions it felt like it lost total power, drove home steady and seemed fine...

Good Evening All, I'm planning on lowering my steering wheel, I've read a few threads but I can't seem to obtain what size bolts I'll require. Any suggestions as to how much any of you have lowered them also? Thanks in advance. Tom

Good Evening All, I had my belts changed back in January 2017 (including water pump, etc) but as some of you may know I don’t use the car much, only done around 1,700 miles in the period but how often do you chaps get them changed on these “track cars”? Thanks in advance. Tom

Good Evening All, My OEM CD played in my 2005 182 Cup has broken, CD's stuck within the machine and unable to get it out, therefore I'm looking for a new head unit. I would like to stay OEM but a little confused by the various options. I currently have an Update List but I have a vague member...

Good Morning All, I completed a track day at Silverstone GP at the weekend and noticed some issues with my EPAS. I don't know how to best describe the issue but the steering wheel felt "clunky", on fast bends it went hard/soft/hard. I only run a small amount of assistance while on track but...

Good Afternoon All, After having my gearbox rebuilt by @NorthloopCup which included him fitting a Gripper diff (both are highly recommended) I've noticed I'm now unable to run Traction Control (TC) while on track, basically the TC engages on fast bends and then I'm on limited throttle for the...

Morning Chaps, Could do with a little help. I've recently purchased a new Corbeau Pro Series XL to replace my Club Sport (standard size). As some of you may know the sidemounts are different as the Pro Series runs M10 bolts while the Club Sports run M8. Before we start I run the seats mounted...

I've recently purchased a new smaller batter for my Clio, a Powerlite PS09, which although is great and light I'm slightly worried about it not having enough power if not left on charge. Therefore I wish to install a cut off switch so that I can ensure it'll start when required when away from...

Good Afternoon All, With my AST's fitted and set up correctly I now want to address my spacers up front. I'm currently running 20mm H&R wheel spacers (bolt to hub) however I'm moving over to a stud conversion and wanted to know what spacers people are running with a similar set up. Ideally I...

Any ideas. I currently have two keys for my Clio however one is so bent it doesn't fit in the barrel and the other is also bent and doesn't look in best share therefore I was looking at a couple of replacements. I've found a place locally that will charge £110.40 per key but I found a thread...

Does anyone know a place that has one in stock? My car is all ready to be put back together however I've been let down by HELIX and I'm due to be on track next Saturday 8th December and currently have no clutch. Any help would be much appreciated. Tom

Good Afternoon All, I hope you're all well. As most of you know I'm in the process of upgrading my suspension and I'm just ordered a set of AST 4100's and PMS top mounts. However over the past few days I've had doubts over the top mounts and should I have gone with the AST items? Have a made...

Evening all, I’m going to get a set of 4100’s however I’m not sure what rating spring to get or even what options offer yet. The car is used for sprints & trackdays and I also use the car to get to track etc. Any advice would be great. Tom

Good Morning All, I'm about to get my gearbox rebuilt by @NorthloopCup however I'm unsure what clutch to run. I'll be running a gripper differ with a 4.53 FD and a lightened flywheel in a standard 182 Cup box. My current Valeo has died after around 1,000 miles (although hard use) but I...

Has anyone done this? I think it could look great, however I can't find a pic/thread anywhere. Cheers Tom

Hello All, I know a few of you already attend the breakfast meets at The Hare (Roxwell, Essex) however the last one of the year is being held at The Cherry Tree in Stambridge (just outside Southend). I'm attending with a few friends but didn't want any of you guys to miss out, especially...

Good Evening All, I’ve recently secured a front section of roll cage for my Clio however I had a few questions: 1. Can you keep access to the front glove box? If so is it just a case of trimming the door? Any pics would be great. 2. Sun Visors. I assume you just just remove these. 3. In...

During my trip to the Isle of Man my Clio developed a clutch slip but only when pulling away from a standing start. Under load it appears fine. The clutch does also make a slight noise when the peddle clutch is engaged (like you can hear it spinning against the flywheel) even when the car is...

Evening All, As some of you may know I had a nightmare at the weekend attempting to remove the AC stuff from the scuttle, which ended in me smashing my original blower housing. I'm managed to secure a 172 Cup blower set up but can I make this fit/work on my 182? My original unit, before it...

I made a start removing the AC unit from behind the bulkhead but having issues removing the below: As you can see I've removed the blower but I need to remove the whole unit to enable me to remove the AC elements but I can't for the life of me find the securing bolts/nuts. I believe there...

Good Evening All, I've had a little trouble today fitting my Forge hoses. In short I can't seem to get them to fit. The main issue being the two hoses which go to the heater matrix. I'm sure I have the hoses all connected in the correct way however the two pipes don't line up to the matrix...

Good Afternoon All, I've recently purchases a Direnza alloy rad for my Clio 182 however I'm not entirely sure how the fan is mounted. Can anyone who is running on please advise? I've been advised that you can keep the standard fan and housing. Help & pics would be great. Tom.

Good Afternoon All, I'm planning on a few jobs over the winter and one of them was rear shims. At Cadwell it was noticeable that the rear inside of both tyres was minimal which leads me on to my next question. Should I fit shims and if so how much Camber? This is my current set up...

Good Afternoon All, I'm toying with the idea of removing the AC & HPAS in my Clio 182 Cup. Firstly this car is only used for track/fun driving and will only do a few thousand miles a year. I would look to replace the power steering with an EPAS set up (DCI column, return pipe on current rack...

Good Morning All, I require a new power steering pipe for my 2005 Clio 182 Cup (the one from the bulk head, around the gearbox to front of the engine), however even after a long conversation with my local Renault I'm struggling! Does anyone have the part number or any help would be great...

Good Evening, I'm looking at getting an Impact Gun to help make jobs easier in the future however some advise would be great. The final straw was this morning and failing to remove my exhaust hanger mounts. I'm happy to have a wired device, as will always be used while in my garage and from...

Good Afternoon All, I've still relatively new to this Clio business and I'm aware there will not be one solution to my question but any help would be great. I don't drive my Clio very often however yesterday I drove the car to work and on the way home it went into "limp" mode and the...
