Exige S Clio Cup
As a bit of an impulse I have bought a 53 plate 172 Cup, however I am not in touch with all things Clio, so I have some questions and issues with the car if peope might be able to help?
I have a Lotus Exige track\road car at the moment, and after 2 days at Spa with a friend we decided to buy a Clio cup. With a very small budget we found a scruffy car (ideal) to strip out everything bar dash, door trims and seats, then add a roll cage.
We paid £1250 for the car with 107,000 miles on it, however it seems to have some issues.
When cold it goes into limp mode and the MIL light is on showing a TPS P0120 code (we are going to replace the throttlebody)?
the 2 long blue dash trim are missing, anybody know where to get them?
The glove box lid is broken? where to get one?
What phase is it? I think it is a phase 2?
Who is good locally to me (Southend on Sea) to do the cam belt? It seems important and I have no history of when it was changed, but it must have been by now?
The steering wheel is a bit knackered (seems normal) how easy is it to change to a Sparco or similar and make sure the airbag light stays off?
Can you also change the seats for buckets and keep the airbag light off?
We need a cheap roll cage, is there a good (cheap) supplier?
Finally I was thinking of strut braces and better roll bars to start with, any good choices of either?
Thanks in advance.
