For the last few months my 172cup has just been used for pottering around to work and back. the brakes have been getting worse and worse. I had a quick look through the wheel and discs/pads looked okay for wear. The fliud is a bit low, so decided to change fluid and bleed it through. Today I...

A few years ago I had a prima racing wp pro 310mm brake conversion kit on my Clio. This included 310mm wp pro discs, wp pro pads and a replacement carrier to use the standard calliper. I didn't find them great, so when the wore out I went back to the standard carrier with brembo hc discs and...

My Mrs bought a 05 182 about 5 weeks ago. All has been fine with it until this week. She phoned me to say it had cut out on her and wouldn't start again. My brother towed her home, checked it over and couldn't find any problems, but it still wouldn't start. He put a can of fuel in and it...

I've had a 172cup for a few years. My wife is on the verge of buying a 05 black gold 182. The current owner doesn't know a lot about them and is not sure if it has cup pack(s) What are the options? and how easy is it to tell what it has? It does have the darker colour standard wheels...

Does anyone on here have a 172/182 with a quaife atb? Just wondered what they are like in a clio? A mate of mine has one in his 205mi16 and loves it. Awesome on tight bends! Tim

Can anyone tell me the offset of trophy wheels? I believe they are different to a 172 cup? Tim

Silver 172 with for sale sign in window, blonde female driver. Seen it around a few times now. Edgar strret aroun 4.15pm.

I'm thinking of getting 15" wheels for track use for my 172 cup. Are phase 1 172 wheels the same offset? and what do they weigh compared to cup turinis? I believe clio 16v turbines (of which I have an old set somewhere) are different offset? What are my other options for strong...

I've recently fitted bilstien b14 pss coilovers to my 172 cup. I fitted them myself + set heights, but have not been profesionally set up. The wheels look pretty much straight upright, although this is only looking by eye. Is there any way of adjusting camber? or is it a case of slotting...

How has anyone else got on with these? I ended up with a full set on friday as the yoko paradas I ordered didnt arrive in time and I needed new tyres for trackday at Llandow last friday. They lasted no time+ grip didnt seem the best. the front passsenger side tyre is completely knackered...

Can anyone tell me where I can get 205/45r16 yokohama paradas from for a good price? I think I paid about £100 each fiited last year, but think I've seen people on here buying them a lot cheaper,more like £70each+fitting. I'm after a set of 4. Cheers Tim

Anyone know what make the OEM equivilent rear pads that come with standard rear discs fom yozzasport are? Tim

I currently have ebc greenstuff pads with 310mm prima racing discs. They are pretty crap + have eventually worn out. As I dont seem to be able to get 310mm brembo disc to fit I am looking at yozzasport 280mm brembo kit with either DS2500 or greenstuff pads. Up until now I have only used...

Currently fitting my bilstien b14 coilovers. got the rears done last night, but ride height doesnt seem right. Im sure I read sumwhere this kit is height adjustable between 30-60mm lower tham standard height. I measured the height of arches before fitting, set the spring adjusting...

Had a ktec stealth on my car for 8 months and around 8k. a couple of days ago it started blowing a bit, thought it was just a small gap between the cat + ktec exhaust flange, but today it got worse had a look + it has split where the front flange is welded to the system, and is nearly 1/2way...

Anyone know if euro style pressed steel number plates are legal in england? And if you can have french or german fonts? or only for show cars?

I have owned my cup for 3-4 years, and I have always had a problem with the service and airbag light coming on occasionally when the passenger seat is tilted forwards for passengers getting in the back. I belive this is a common fault on clios. and a bit of a fiddle with the plug+wires under...

I have had yokohama parada spec2's on my car for about a year now. Running 28psi front 26psi rear. They need replacing soon. Just wondered what other people who have used these for road use think to them? Do I go for the same again? or change to PE2s or GSD3s Tim

I have recently bought Bilstien B14 coilovers for my 172 cup, and have noticed the height adjustable platforms for the rear springs only have one adjusting nut each. I would of thought there should be two on each, one to act as a locking nut. Can anyone tell me if there should be 1 or 2 nuts...

I'm Timos brother but I've managed to hack into his username! Thought I'd put up a pic of his wedding while he's on honeymoon. He a lazy so and so & didn't organise cars so I (as best man) cleaned his for the first time in ages, and my mate came in his cup too so we took the whole day before...

What sort of money am I going to be looking at to replace the coil pack on my 172cup? Tim

Ive noticed a few times recently that my cup hesitates slightly when acccelerating between 5-7k rpm, It is not always at the same revs, and doesnt always do it. Sometimes you can feel it hesitate at say 5750 rpm and again at 6250. It is only for a very short time, but is annoying me...

Sorry if this has been discussed a lot before! I desperately need new tyres on my cup as fronts are bald. I have exalto pe2's at the mo. Do I go for the same again? Am I correct in sayin you cant get yokohama A539s in 205/45 16? Has anyone tried yokohama paradas spec-2s? Cheers...
