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...
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...
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...
Nice car mate, I picked mine up just before Christmas same colour as well. Definitely get yourself a steering wheel crook lock ( Mine was 70ish quid from Halfords) gives you peace of mind, I've also fitted a vanguard to protect obd very important!
Has anyone tracked theirs? Fancy doing a few...
I've ran them on my 172 cup for 3 trackdays and varying conditions. They are crap to be honest, make alot of noise and don't offer much grip. Soft sidewalls mean higher than expected pressure needed to stop them rolling over the edge and wearing the tyre heavily. They are fine for the road or...
