    Robs Inferno 182 Cup.....

    Looks good mate, I was chatting with your brother the other week and he mentioned you were going down the turbo route. Quick one about your steering rack hose, was it a local place that did it or the one down next to Gatwick? I could do with one myself.

    Mark 1 Track Car - Trophy Red 172 Project

    @Coops Turbo I've got the same wilwood set up mate, they use toyota avensis discs that have been drilled and bored to the 4x100 and 60.1mm.

    Breaking cover......*AG content from page 45*

    Mark, I'm sure Matt West has run 17" wheels on his Meg 250. Hes had that many sets of wheels though its hard to keep up lol. I've still got those brand new 250 calipers boxed up if you want to give them a new home. :smile:

    Team dynamics 1.2 fitment

    I didn't say plastic spigot rings were the best solution buy it's genuinely worrying how many people think wheels are bored to match the hubs simply to make getting wheels on and off easier....... If it was me using a set on track where I knew they would be getting hot I'd make the effort and...

    Team dynamics 1.2 fitment

    Use the spigot rings. Anyone who says otherwise is plain stupid. Ive seen people in the past not use them and they've had the wheel bolts shear off. If you don't use them you have the full weight of your car resting on your bolts, by using the rings your transferring that load to the hub...

    Ngk sparks or Megane R26 Spark Plugs

    Nope you read it correct, Meganes use a colder grade plug than the clio so I used them. I do know guys who've ran standard clio plugs in their turbo conversions. I'm still using megane plugs at 400bhp plus and have only had to reduce the gap.

    Skimming the Block to Raise Compression

    I think the drilling that has been mentioned is regarding the pulley set up. As we know the 197 f4r and f4rt engines have the water pump running from the cambelt, the clio 1*2 f4r uses the aux belt and needs an additional pulley to compensate. It's easy enough to compare the two heads to see...

    Successful turbo conversions

    There's loads of ways to get a high powered front wheel drive car to handle decent power. I use a a boost vs TPS map so half throttle makes half boost and makes the car so easy to drive, you can hold a steady throttle in bends and you don't get that 50p cornering like poor set ups. I'm also...

    Anyone heard of BB Performance Tuning?

    As above BBPT were a tuner of fives back in the day, they rebranded to Engine Dynamics a number of years ago so I don't think the clio your looking at has had it's belts done recently.

    Daniels Blue 182.

    I spent £780 quid at Dave Mac Propshafts for a set of custom Motorsport waisted driveshafts. Apparently they will flex up to 90 degrees before they snap and they help take some of the shock loading off the drive train. After the agro I had at lower power settings with the JC5 gearbox I figured...

    172 Cup Turbo low compression?

    Can't remember it was from work.

    172 Cup Turbo low compression?

    That is low for stock comp. When I had wossner 8.5:1 pistons in mine it was 145psi on each cylinder

    Daniels Blue 182.

    Just had a read through nice job mate. Welcome to the elite 1*2 F4RT+ND0 club. Driveshaft wise when you remove it inspect the triple bearing as the symptoms your describing are the same as when it fails.
