Thanks for the feedback been awhile since I’ve had a 172, just thought it might have a noisy water pump, it’s not coming out that clearly on the recording. I will give it a longer run 👍

Hi l, dropped another 172 engine into my project 172 cup which I purchased off here, which was needed as a replacement due to a blown head gasket. I’ve put the car back together new oil, filter, radiator etc and bled the system and on starting I’ve noticed a noise I’m not sure what it is...

Thanks guys, got it done this afternoon worked a treat. Key was having belt on all positions and making sure all slack was out. Rotating pulley down was perfect. Clio a step closer to being on the road now 👍

Hi wondering if someone can save me from going insane, I have a 172 cup with air con pack which I’ve been rebuilding as a project. I’ve had issues with tensioner which I realised in the end was seized. I have a genuine belt kit with tensioner that I can just not seem to get to fit! It’s a 1662...

Hi, don’t suppose anyone can recommend a gear puller that fits behind the 5th gear to remove it?

Good meeting you too mate, best of luck with the car and project ?

The mk2 focus rs is a great car, I had mine for 1 year and as it was my daily did 20k miles overall. They are a great looking car, love the styling and the engine sound was glorious! I do miss the car it was beautiful but being front wheel drive ultimately drove me to sell it.... it has the...

Why are you using standard road pads? OEM pads aren’t designed for that sort of abuse the Mk3 focus is a heavy car, you should look at moving to a fast road or track pad which can cope with the temperatures. It’s completely up to you what you spend your money on but those tyres and discs didn’t...

Grip tape in strips from screw fix, cheap and lightweight

It cost me 1400 so after 1000 cash on collection

I have a whole car :smile: so plenty of parts PM what your after, have Puremotorsport wishbones, exhaust, top mounts etc

I have an m factory diff in a rebuilt gearbox by puremotor sport, works really well on track. Nick did a good job of it and it’s been faultless. I’m actually breaking my track car with one installed in a few weeks but it’s a clio cup so speedo drive is different..... anyway well worth the...

not overly far mate. Doesn't seem to be an obvious kit available.... sets on eBay after questioning are single line to the rear and not setup for the 172 cup compensator. Braided lines are fine but if poorly fitted can fret really easily. I want to retain the front right and rear left etc...

Hi, need some advice please on the best setup for track regarding brake lines. Old 172 cup system has been take apart as subframes and calipers have been taken off my car. Is it best to leave the system as it is, rebuild and only replace the flexible parts or can somebody share their setup?

My learning so far for the Clio. T1r's are awful, side walls are really soft lots of roll over causing bad edge wear, crap grip and noisy. Michelin PS3 good performance in wet weather or low temp and on road. (Current wet setup) Rsr great performance for price, best of my above in dry and...
