Hi all, Just been replacing all the rear caliper sliders on my 172 cup after noticing the boots are cracked and they are sticky. Am I supposed to fit 1 or 2 o rings per slider as there's slots for 2 but the kit only included 1. When I removed the old sliders there were no o rings fitted so...

Just sent you a PM might take you up on that! thanks

Thanks Jack, I ended up buying the car and how much you've said is less than I thought so that's good news. Need to take the sill panels off to have a proper look when I've got time.

Hi All, I've been looking to buy a 172 cup after being away from cliosports for years. I found a fairly nice one but I did notice all of the jacking points are folded over and rotting, I didn't notice any more rust on the sills but I know it's hard to see without the covers off. Since I don't...

Yeah it does stop at around 2k, think I'll try and book it in at diamond as you're quite local to me.

I've fixed the aux belt problem, just took the car for a test drive and it rattles really bad on idle when warm :( I took a quick vid and I'd appreciate it if you could take a few seconds to tell me if it sounds like the dephaser or not. I know there's a lot of threads on this but I want to...

Cheers for that :)

Already got a new belt, the pic is of the old one. Ordered it as soon as I saw the problem!

Thanks for that, I'll change it round tomorrow :) I've only just bought the car so it's not being driven at the moment while I sort out the issues on it, unfortunately I think the previous owner did quite a few miles like this.

Hi, I've got a bit of a problem with my 172 cup. The aux belt has been rubbing on the plastic cam belt cover near the crank pulley. I've replaced the belt with a new one but it's still doing the same thing. Pic of old belt It's worn away quite a bit of the plastic and I'm not really happy...

Need to sell my old car first to get some money, when I do I'll give you a PM :)

Fair enough, I though it was a bit quiet :P Looks like I'll be after a new exhaust at some point then!

Afternoon, I've bought myself a 172 Cup :) It's done just under 70K and has had the following done before I bought it: All 4 wheels refurbished 4 new Toyo T1-R Proxies New Clutch New cat-back exhaust Timing belt changed Dephaser pulley changed New coil pack New HT leads...

Hi everyone, I've got a 1.4 saxo at the moment which I'm looking to replace with a 172 cup if I can find one. Here's my current car anyway: Cheers, Owen
