Really good to see someone doing this as I need to do the same with mine!

Hahaha thanks. I’m very lucky to have it! It does mean I make stupid purchases like this though as it’s all a little bit easier 😅

Had a productive day looking round the cup. First of all, I through a battery on it, cranked it over with the coil unplugged to get some oil pressure, plugged that back in and it fired straight up! So that’s a little win, I will do a compression on it before I pull it out but apart from...

Might need lots of work, but I’m so happy to own another cup!

She arrived this afternoon to the unit, flat tyres, still crusty but looks good in pictures! Always good when the recovery driver turns up and says ‘why have you bought this piece of s**t for’ cheers then 😂 I’ll get it on axle stands tomorrow, get the sill covers off and give it a good poke...

Here we are again, another Clio purchased, my 14th if I remember correctly, and my 5th 172 cup. A little back story, I commented in the 172 cup thread about possibly getting another as out of all the Clio sports I’ve had, a standard 172 cup imo is the best there is. A day or so later I got a...

That’s the trouble with Clio’s and cups especially, you always want another!

As long as it’s locked at TDC, pull the pin for the crank, leave cams locked and have the cam pulleys loose you can spin it over no problem.

I’ve built 3 or 4 F4R’s and timed them up using aftermarket tools. All made good power on the dyno and all still running.

Just watched it twice, looks insane. Need buy a ps5 now
