Cheers pal, all sounds good then, aye she's pretty much a dedicated track car as well, thought about just keeping existing rack and blanking off PAS but opinion appears divided on that one, some say fine and some say shite so thought maybe EPAS the way to go...

Looking to get the whole shebang done whilst engine out (cam belt, dephaser, water pump, aux belt), got a former Renault Tech lined up to do the work, just need to get the parts, anyone bought this lot recently and can recommend where to source from? A quick google returned an outfit called...

Going to have my engine out of my 172 Cup in a few days time to do a few jobs and wondered about doing the EPAS conversion at the same time. Have seen the other threads so not looking to discuss what needs to be done technically but wondered if anyone has done it and regretted it, in terms of...

Hi, Hoping someone who has experience with this combination can help me. I've been running Bilstein B14 coilovers and Pure Motorsport top mounts for the past few years and have just bought a set of AST 5100 coilovers as I wanted something more track focused for competing. My query concerns...

I've gone ahead and purchased the k-tec sports cat (200 cell), arrived yesterday although won't be fitting it immediately, car in bits! Trying to get her ready for Boyndie on 1st/2nd July and SLS following weekend

Ok cheers, did you fit a sports cat? Thinking about the ktec one especially given the 10% sale this weekend.

If you wouldn't mind dropping me a message, just wanted to check something regarding how fussy scrutineering is for having a decat in road going class. Ta.

Hey Chaps, Has anyone got a photo or two of the Mondial Blue Clio with an orange cage fitted. I have orange wheels on my 172 Cup and contemplating fitting an orange cage (full cage) and was hoping to see how it looked before taking the plunge. Thanks

Thanks for the response/advice, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Cheers.

Hi , Planning on getting the SD bolt in cage. Not sure whether to go for the single fixed Diagonal or the cross fixed Diagonal. Any advice / opinions on how to decide. The extra cost is fairly marginal. Car will be used for track days and occasional sprint events in road going class. Anyone go...

Thanks for responses / opinions. The cracks have been there from their very first use and was advised by local Motorsport company this is perfectly normal. The pads have always been warmed up and cooled down properly and have been fantastic. I'll try and get one last track day out of them and...

I've been running Pagid Blue pads on the front of my Clio 172 Cup with Brembo Max discs. Done a few trackdays at Knockhill with them. Upon inspecting the pads last weekend, I can see the signs of what appears to be rivet heads coming through? (please see photos) Do you think I need to replace...

Hi folks, Happy New Year. I've got a very frustrating intermittent misfire on my 2003 Clio 172 Cup. Tried replacing a few ignition items to no avail. Local mechanic has suggested replacing crank sensor albeit I've had no starting problems with the car whatsoever. Problem only arises after...

That doesn't look right to me. Have you tightened the top nut properly by holding the centre shaft with an allen key?

Interesting you say that because I've noticed less sharp turn-in after changing from AST adjustable mounts to PM's top mount & strut brace kit, and that's with camber bolts fitted set to max negative camber. However, she's going in for a full suspension geometry session tomorrow to check all is...

Thanks Russ, however, what you've said not to do is exactly what I did (i.e. tighten up the u-clamp first and then the drop-links) because I didn't see a problem doing that and it seemed a logical thing to do. I ended up screwing the locks nuts all the way to the bottom and then screwed up each...

A question for folks who have fitted a Whiteline ARB: When tightening up the links that connect the end of the ARB to the shock absorber bracket, how do you know how far up to screw the lock nuts before tightening up the very top nut of the link? The instructions says to adjust the length of...

Oh, and don't forget to help the brake temps by removing your front fogs and inner front arch liners. I went to the hassle of plumbing in ducting initially for a neat look but ended up ripping it out and just going "au naturel".

Exactly mate. You won't be disappointed with this combo.

My personal opinion after having tried DS2500, they're an excellent choice for a dual purpose fast road/track day pad. You've said your car will purely be used as track car. For me, the choice is simple, Carbon Lorraine RC6. I got mine from K-Tec. Stunning stopping power no matter how much...

Cheers mate, good to know.

Going to be ordering a set for my 172 Cup. Cup Offset I believe is around 38 and although you can get the Pro Race 1.2 in this offset, I was thinking about going for 35 offset just to fill out the arches a tad. Vehicle is lowered on Bilstein coilovers but was not expecting a 3mm wider track on...

Hoping to get my new Pure Motorsport mounts fitted first thing tomorrow morning but have a question hopefully somebody can answer for me. The kit comes with a spacer that sits between the spring hat and the mount. Is the spacer still needed when fitting the mounts onto coilovers because in the...

As per title, thinking about buying one seat to upgrade my driver's seat from Forza Sport to something more "huggie". I'm only 5'5 and 31" waist so it would be the standard size seat I'd go for. Would be good to hear positive/negative comments from existing owners before taking the plunge!

Being up in the NE of Scotland, don't have any shops up this way selling bucket seats to allow me to test the fit before buying. I've had Corbeau Forza for the last couple of years but a bit wide for my small frame (5'5, 31" waist). Can someone recommend a good seat that would suit my...

Should be fine. I've been running my Bilstein B14 rears like this since new (2 years ago) with no issues whatsoever, in fact it was a local Motorsport company that removed the platforms in the process of doing a full corner weighting/geometry set-up because they said the car was sitting too...

My Cup is used for occasional road use and track days using the standard 16" Turinis with Toyo R888's. Some guys have recommended to me to downsize to 15" wheels/tyres to improve on-track handling. If I do this, I'd likely go down the new route (probably TD 1.2's with either R888 or Yoko A048)...

Was someone able to confirm the GSF part number? I also need to order one for my 172 Cup and it's confusing why GSF's website offers two options with part numbers: 424RE0230 (£12.00) 424RE0160 (£11.52)

So I decided to dismantle my left side front suspension after the MOT tester picked up a slight movement in it. The coilver (B14's) top nut was nice and tight hence the decision to dig a bit deeper. I decided to start with the AST top mount bolts. Despite gently loosening the 3 allen bolts on...

I'm running Bilstein B14 coilovers and AST adjustable top mounts on my 172 Cup and car has been professionally set up (corner weighted and alignment) by a local motorsport company and is running -0.60 camber on the front. I would like to improve turn-in and think adding more negative camber is...
