MOT Time, now I know I hadn't used the car apart from going to work a couple of times and filling it up with fuel so wasn't sure how it was going to go, I didn't even have chance to check the wipers and lights which I would usually do. So sent the old man off in the car, 2 hours later get a...

Yes, I think about a 15mm drop from standard and are black in colour, whereas the sportlines are about a 30mm drop and red in colour. I think....

I think the Grams springs are not the OEM spec for the 172 cup, the rears might be the same as standard 172/182 but I am pretty certain the fronts are different ( I am sure someone on here will know). I looked into this a while ago and spoke with Kam Racing who produce the Grams springs and...

I'd go with rear discs with the bearings already in place, so much easier than trying to press a bearing in etc. Fronts and rears I would go with Brembo which are a decent brand and good value, if you go too cheap on the rear the bearings will be rubbish. Just remember to put the spacer/washer...

Love a rolling shot :love:

So I've owned my cup for nearly 10 years and thought I should really do a bit of a write up so I have a record for myself and if anyone enjoys reading it then even better. I did do a introduction a while back see here https://cliosport.net/threads/new-172-cup-owner.802349/ and a couple of photos...

Enjoyed the Youtube vid mate and thrilled to see it come back to life!! Cup meet up soon??

Looks nice congrats!

Took my cup to get some fuel this morning, hadn't used the car since last October, great time driving it even if it was for only 5 miles, does remind you of things I still need to/want to do to it though......

Looking great Ant. I need to get on and do this with mine! P.S Let me know if you want to sell your original springs.

Just seen this, thought some of you may find it interesting. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-spottedykywt/renaultsport-clio-172-cup-ph-auction-block/49718

Think it was 105nm,

Has anyone used KTEC Clio Wheel bolts? https://k-tecracing.com/products/ktr-clio-megane-twingo-wheel-bolts. I have also found this place https://www.alloywheelnutsandbolts.co.uk/product/set-of-20-x-alloy-wheel-bolts-m12-x-1-5-26mm-thread-19mm-hex/ I have started to have a few issues with my...

Took my Cup to do an event at Silverstone (VSCC Pomeroy Trophy) basically a few auto tests in the morning then a 40 minute high speed trial in the afternoon, all going well until I thought I would just double check the tightness of the wheel bolts got to the last wheel....then snap! Bolt broke...

Yeah I expect both front wheels locked and engine stalled, it would have just bumped started it self when the wheels started rotating again.

Yeah current issue February 25. Interesting they have used the same photos as the modern classics feature.

Hi everyone, just thought some of you may be interested in seeing this..

Could be stretched cables, my handbrake ended up being like that so replaced both cables and was fine afterwards.

One of mine from a Castle Combe sprint a few years ago.

I love these types of threads.... I bought my Cup at the end of 2016, via Ebay for the grand total of £970.00 The story from the seller (who was a builder) was that it was his apprentices car and he had owed him some money so took the car from him as a payment. All seemed quite dodgy but I...

Just seen this feature on the EVO website published yesterday. https://www.evo.co.uk/renault/clio/206804/renault-sport-clio-172-cup Its probably just a re released feature but still good there is some acknowledgment about how great these cars are! Thought you guys may be interested..

Looks great and being 04 plate must have been one of the last cups registered?

Good price and yes mats are correct for the car, they tend to slip forward as they only have two little velcro bits to hold them in position so can look slightly not correct. I've been dailying mine for a while now and is a comfortable place to be, only issues I've had so far is the door...

Seems these are now out of stock, hopefully everyone that wanted one managed to get one. Not sure how many they had in stock but they didn't last long.

Yes a friend had a 1.2 and we measured the door glass and the cup glass was thinner, can't remember by how much though. Surprising as I can't imagine it adding much to the overall weight reduction.

Yep

Just seen this in Evo magazine,

I've just had an email this morning saying RPD have these grills back in stock. Not sure how long these will be in stock for and whether anymore will be produced after this.. https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/exterior-parts/renault-clio-172-182-front-upper-grille/ Wasn't sure where...

Looking great Chris!

My insurance renewal came through in December and they stated that they were unable to offer me insurance (DirectLine). I assume it could be due to the age of the car (R26 Megane) but they never mentioned why. I was pretty miffed as (I thought) it was cheap but actually forced me to shop around...
