Nick172Cup’s Megane 225 Build/Blog
So time had eventually come to move up (or down in some peoples eyes) to Megane ownership. After the last 4-5 years of owning many Clios I was after something a little bigger/refined/powerful, and after a half arsed search I came across Dan@SJM Automotives...
0.99p with no reserve, need them gone so pm me with an offer if you want them.

Nick172Cups 4th RenaultSport Clio 172 Cup
After not getting on with the Monaco 172 I had purchased a couple of months back, I was offered this by a good mate John who’s on here. A lovely cup with 76k on the clock in pretty good condition, always serviced and maintained so it seemed the ideal...

So had this one a few months now, purchased off Budgie as he needed it sold so I decided to keep it in the Failsport family. With myself saving for a deposit for a mortgage I need to sell my fleet of other cars, for a car that had...
Haven't really done a lot to the car for ages after missing the last race of this year, but my brother said he'd still like to get a couple of pictures of the car as it is...
Project thread -...
Afternoon all, as above has anyone got any experience on these? Didn't realise they even made lowering springs until trawling through eBay a moment ago, just coilover units I thought they did.
Cheers

My advice? Don't buy one. No warranty on it because the tailpipe had two inches cut off the end, which has obviously caused this to just fall to pieces.
Cheers K-Tec!
Afternoon all, with my new cup I've acquired I'm looking to start doing a few trackdays. I'm after a road tyre that's a good all rounder (dry/wet) and doesn't fall to pieces after a few laps/shoulders don't disappear either. I know it's a compromise using road tyres first of all but its...
Morning all, popped up to Manchester yesterday to collect another new Cup from 172CupAdam. To say I was surprised when I turned up to see one of the best built/mint looking Cups I was over the moon, took it for a quick test drive and drove lovely. So proceeded whilst we were out to go to the...
Afternoon all.
Had a browse round in 3 Mobile today at handsets as I can upgrade now. Was planning initially to just get a £10-12 a month sim-only deal for my iPhone 4 but I've always wanted a better camera so tempted to upgrade. Currently paying £37 on the 'one plan' and the new contracts are...
Evening all, as a few of you knew today I took the trip up to the Colshe Motor Company to pick up this fine peach/gem of a motor to use as a daily to save putting too many miles on the trackcar.
Money exchanged and off I went, 130 miles to get home and thinking.... ‘Will I even get home?’ True...
So since the Cup I’ve had a few other RS Clios but none like the Cup. I purchased this with Ollie82. to go racing next year but plans changed unfortunately so now it’s solely in my hands and i’m going to use it as just a track car for the time being...
Anyway here’s a brief spec of the car when...
Morning all, had a quick search on here and couldnt find anything conclusive. Would like to know whats required to do sprints etc, I know theres quite a few people on here that do it (shiftspark/sprintcup etc). Would just like to know how the class's work and rough costings for each day is etc...
So just this evening, officially the Trophy changed hands from Sir_Dave to myself. Drives awesome for a Clio with 186,601 miles, better than quite a few clios i've driven actually!
Plans -
Needs an interior so a 172 Cup interior's being sorted.
Fit lower arms and track rod arms/ends off the...
Looking to get a set of tyres for the M3 in the next couple of days, just wondered what peoples opinions on these tyres and what you'd get? Both are premium brands with no doubt the michelins being better but are slightly more expensive.
Michelins - £440 Delivered
Conti's - £380 Delivered...
...shed Racecar. Currently a work in progress as you can see but the cars roughly 75% ready, just a seat/saftey gear remaining to get for it.
Cheers

Afternoon all, wondered with the 24 hour Le Mans coming up in the next couple of weeks whether anyone wants to sort out doing some Le Mans style racing?
16 cars (if possible)
10-15 laps?
R3 cars (must be race liveried as stock)
Can be modified to top of R3 class.
Maybe tracks like La Sarthe...
Afternoon all, currently in the process of refreshing all the suspension/bushes on the car for this years trackday season. Just wondering wheres best for these certain parts?
Track rods arms/ends
Lower arms + ball joints
ARB Bushes
I know some things like lower arms and balljoints are better...
Collected this yesterday afternoon, needs a good clean and going over but much more fun than my previous daily driver.

So after selling the Cup for spares and using the Audi A3 for a while, been wanting to get back into a Clio for a while now. Not having a massive budget (£2000) i've been looking high and low for something thats in good condition mechanically/specced up/uber cheap for what it is. Sure enough...
So yesterday I thought I'd try out my new Karcher pressure washer with snowfoam lance and give the BM another coat of wax. Snowfoaming makes giving the car a clean a bit more enjoyable as at times for me I can loose interest whilst cleaning.
So today with a just a simple clean as said, products...
Having trawled through various threads and seen not a lot of info, whats a very good/best shampoo to use? Looking to order a snow foam lance from I4D and they have a couple of choices on offer with the lance (I4D Snow Foam 5L and Britemax Clean Max), worth going with these or something better...
So after waiting for over a month and half for the car to ready to be sold I picked it up on Satruday. Having always wanted an M3 saloon of some sort when my mate said he was thinking of selling this one I had to have it. Its in an individual colour, a pretty rare one at that being Byzanz...
