Although saying that, because it's a Cup without ABS you can use rear discs from any other MK1 or MK2 Clio as the discs & bearings are the exact same parts and the part numbers are only different because of what abs rings are fitted to them. I managed to find a set of genuine discs for a 2006...

Those discs look mint to me, I wouldn't bother changing those, especially if they're genuine Renault ones. Also with how disgustingly expensive the genuine ones are now it's a bit of a minefield with the aftermarket pattern parts as a lot of them use dogshit bearings - I vaguely remember from a...

So you're the Matt I replied to on fb :D From someone else's reply on there saying they've just fitted some & they were spot on, it was the Febi ones I bought that were correct https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193786278522

There's no reason to have to take the manifold off 😳 but it certainly does make it incredibly easy to do the starter, some pics in this thread https://cliosport.net/threads/clio-williams-track-car.803549/ There's only 3 bolts from the gearbox side and 1 nut attaching it to the bracket on the...

They don't tend to survive not having a heatshield, here's the part number & what it looks like, you'll also need the 3 bolts for it, bottom right of the pic is the correct bolt

Go onto Autodoc and search for coolant, in the filters bit you just need to select the yellow colour and it'll bring up all the ones that are the same as Type D I've just bought this to do mine Hey, check out PEMCO Antifreeze in the AUTODOC app https://m.autodoc.co.uk/pemco/15770053

There's quite a lot of updates on his instagram https://www.instagram.com/brooklands.clio/?hl=en

Thread bump to see if there's any new info out there & maybe contribute something useful - got a really really cheap 172 to daily, the pas pump sounds like it's dying & as I'm doing the belts on it I might as well replace the pump too. So no track use and I'm preferring to be 3.14-key as I've...

Just to add, don't buy the aux belt kit if your Cup doesn't have air con

They're still available on Camskill for £69.50, the Nankang's are only any good for dry track use & even then they're pretty mediocre & marginally better than normal road tyres on track. I've had my 172 Cup for 6 years and only ever had PS3's or ZV7's on it, I can safely say that I've not...

Got a bit of mapping done today

Derbyshire force for you, they did the same for me on the Rover, proceed direct to fine, do not pass go, gimme £100 Was at a car meet in Derby with lots of coppers there, I didn't mind too much as it was amusing to watch all the badmanz have to rip of their illegal tints & other s**t at the...

I don't think it will, I suspect that might actually be a 172 cup shaft Ph1 are the shortest, then 172 cup followed by ph2 - I don't know the actual lengths but according to what I could find on Autodoc for the passenger shaft ph1=625mm, 172 cup=640mm, ph2=657mm There's a guy on the Facebook...

Pretty sure they're the exact same parts, it's the 172 Cup and 182 Cup shocks that are stiffer and the 182 Cup that have different bolt spacing

There's quite a lot of adjustment available on the adjuster rod so I'd look at adjusting that a bit more Also worth looking at the handbrake levers on the calipers, I had it on mine that although the levers were moving as they should, the piston in the caliper wasn't moving enough so fitted a...
