    172 cup hub

    That's interesting, I'll get a pic of the cup one that came off - it's sitting out ready to get a helicoil. It deffo wasn't down to the play in the bolts as we slackened them all and put them hard up in our favour to equalise with the other side as much as possible. Still confused as to why...

    172 cup hub

    They looked identical (except the ABS) when off the car but when fitted it gave approx 1° camber difference (less -ve with the non-cup) and not sure about the offset but looks different visually. That's checking the geometry before and after with 4 wheel laser alignment. I know because...

    172 cup hub

    That's strange, I got a 172 hub fitted to my 172cup when I got the car (came with the car) and although it fits fine it gives vastly different offset and camber. I'm going to be getting the original helicoiled and refitted. Dunc.

    172 cup hub

    Yes the cup one's are different, you specifically need a cup one. You could try removing the stud first though. Dunc.

    Clio 172 hitting rev limiter early?

    Really feels and sounds like rev limiter to me, really obvious at 9:35 onwards on this vid, and I'm shifting MILES before the 7k limiter in this vid too (about 5k iirc) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtIl6G9cPSw&feature=share&list=UUAfVKlVvyA5aq86-Q6__pUA You can hear it best at the end of the...

    Clio 172 hitting rev limiter early?

    Hi thanks for the responses, the car is fully up to temp and it does it at various rev ranges between 4 and 7k. Thanks, Dunc.

    Clio 172 hitting rev limiter early?

    Hi, Problem is the car hits the rev limiter earlier in the rev range than it should, sometimes it goes to 7k but other times earlier, had originally thought it was a fuel surge problem but no longer think this. Put it on some rollers today and the fueling is spot on (have also checked the...

    Better than 2500s?

    Paul Chance is the link above, click 'contact' on the site ;) Thanks for all the help on this, I want to avoid upgrading the calipers etc if possible, it's a second track/race car so want to keep the funds and effort going into the other. Thanks again for all the good advice, I'm going to give...

    Better than 2500s?

    Thanks, I just gave him a call, £138 delivered. Also tried carbotech XP10's and they are £216. Probs going for the RS6's although they are out of stock. The part no. for the RC6's is 4026, is this correct for my ph2 172 cup? Thanks, Duncan.

    Better than 2500s?

    Interesting, PF's are the best pad I've ever used (not on a clio though). Where's the best place to get RC6's and roughly what price? Also do they need bedding in? Thanks, Dunc.

    Better than 2500s?

    Just finished a set of front DS3000's they wore down very fast and got way too hot in my opinion with hard use (and pretty hard on the disks), I'm not sure what to get next would the CL be a big improvement? Track/race use only btw. Cheers, Duncan.

    Buckled Alloys

    You can get the wheel reset but really depends on the value of the wheel, try balancing then consider the other options. Dunc.
