Any pointers on how to fix?

Time to get it working again... Since Cadwell Park the car has just sat in the garage looking sorry for its self. The power steering system has a link by the alternator, its leaking from the pipe it self as I hope the following pics will highlight: We put a load of liquid metal around...

I've only had mine fitted for around 3 months. At first I wasn't sure, however it is great on track. However it does rattle, a lot...

I'm thinking of doing the very same with the AC. Looks like you've done well.

Finding a 2nd hand set up is the hard part!

So I've just quickly priced up all the parts I can easily locate, all parts are based on brand new items directly from Renault: 172 Cup Alternator Setup 172 Cup Alternator - £141.46 172 Cup Alternator Bracket I - £41.40 172 Cup Alternator Bracket II - £94.82 Adjusting Bolt - £25.00 172 Cup...

No Clio's! Old Xr2i, ST Fiesta & E36 M3

Can I also ask where you ordered your metal sprigot rings from?

Great work so far. A few friends are on track at the weekend at Bedford, was meant to be going also but due to lack of car can't make it.

That makes sense then! I didn’t realise the PMS kit allowed you to remove the HPAS. I’ve just checked and you can add on this but again I’m up to £255. So only a £45 saving over a 172 Cup set up with a brand new alternator...

Cheers @bloke So with the PMS kit what happens with the power steering pulley? Sorry I just don’t understand what would happen.

I feel your pain. I was the very same as I needed my car working for Cadwell so had to go with the quickest option to get working. I did look at this however I'm not sure this will work if I want to remove HPAS? Plus IMO its better to remove as many pully's as possible!

This is my conundrum, I'm already £230 into the hydraulic system as I recently got a new pipe which goes around the gear box and I also only got a brand new alternator less than a year ago both of which will be redundant...

I was planning on going with a controller. TBH I didn't know you could run it without. How do you find the feel of the EPAS? I've heard a few mixed reports.

Good Afternoon All, I'm toying with the idea of removing the AC & HPAS in my Clio 182 Cup. Firstly this car is only used for track/fun driving and will only do a few thousand miles a year. I would look to replace the power steering with an EPAS set up (DCI column, return pipe on current rack...

Great work. Looks better without the stripes.

Good luck with the build and keep us all posted. :up:

Great work Darren! Looks great.

Love the colour of the calipers.

@Scrooge this may fix my steering issue?

Interesting... I did contemplate racing for a very short period however time was my biggest issue. I'm sure our paths will cross at a trackday next year.

Good luck with the build. You planning on racing it?

Good work...

Ouch. I hope everyone involved is ok.

The slight off: Enjoy!

Oh I forgot to post the official pics:

Cadwell Park - Sunday 15th October 2017 Firstly I had an amazing day at Cadwell Park, by far the best track I've driven to date. However the lead up to the track day it was a bit of a nightmare, but with the amazing help of @Scrooge the car was ready to depart on Saturday afternoon. With...

You did well getting that in and out on your own! Great progress, can't wait to see the finished article.

TBH the car is pretty much how I want it. The only thing I would want to add would be the front part of the cage, I hope one comes up for sale over the winter. I just want to use it and enjoy it. The only other thing I may do it an RS2 inlet and cams...

Before & after. Almost 1 year apart.
