    Caster and Camber

    Yeah I got that eventually, same ones I have. Definitely best to give it to a proper alignment shop in my experience. Everything affects everything. So if you add camber you get more toe in (think it's that way around) and vice versa.

    Caster and Camber

    To be honest, I'm not sure on caster. Mine has some additional but only because the garage set the mounts up badly. If I was using mine only for fast road use, I'd stick with solid top mounts and not worry about it. I'm not sure additional camber on the road made much difference tbh. I...

    Caster and Camber

    Agree with the above. I tried to get my usual garage to do a nice track setup and they really struggled with the castor/camber balance on the top mounts. For reference, I have 3.4deg negative and it's a pig on the road but it only really drives to the track. Personally, I would leave the...

    182 Black Gold - Yorkshire B Road Project

    EFA Mine isnt sealed but there has been many car oils all over it. Im shocking when it comes to catching the old oil during a service but my favourite was loosing most of the gearbox oil when the drive shaft fell out during a ball joint change!

    Coilovers options for 172 cup

    I know this isnt what you asked, but there really isnt much wrong with Cup dampers and some lowering springs (grams or Cooksport). They are very nice to use on track too. That said, I think the BC's are just out of your budget and like Brigsy says, the B14's have a great reputation for being...

    Seat - Wheel alignement

    You can elongate the steering columns mounting holes that are in the dash and that will allow it to be moved over a little. I have this on mine and the wheel is better aligned to the seat now. The plastics behind the steering wheel dont fit as nicely though but they have remained on in my car.

    Clio 172 Cup Ph2 Driver Side Inner CV Boot Replacement

    Not sure if it's relevant but mine is a turbo with a diff too, so it's under more stress than normal and has been fine. Just looked back and I actually fitted it in September last year, before the duff and turbo so it's done more miles than I originally thought.

    Clio 172 Cup Ph2 Driver Side Inner CV Boot Replacement

    I can't 100% say for the driver side as I don't have that but the passenger side is fitted on my Cup, by me and has been fine. It even did a track day at the weekend with no issue. If you search it on here you can find the old thread.

    Clio 172 Cup Ph2 Driver Side Inner CV Boot Replacement

    You can definitely get cup ones as I fitted one on the passenger side a month ago. The ebay part numbers were on another thread on here. 130459285215 170612905846
