As title suggests, keen to see your tow strap and tow eye installations as I’m trying to decide which to go for?
Be good to know how easy each were to fit and that didn’t require any modifications during fitting.
So a fair bit has happened to the car recently, and a fair few pics will probably follow....
To start you can see some of the progress being made....

Not going to turbo for 6 months so I want mods I can do now, thatcan be left in place and benefit further when the turbo is introduced.
Map will happen, but just not sure whether to add any other bits first before the map
All,
I am after some advice regarding engine upgrades that will improve the current NA engine setup, however that won’t go to waste when I decide to turbo the 172 Cup.
Power related mods to date:
Car back KTEC Exhaust
K&N Venom induction with direct cold feed from a front fog
The car has...
Bit of work completed over the weekend following track geometry set up at TunedUK. Rich did a top job to be fair, feels much better on the road now and more responsive.

All,
After a bit of advice to which seat is best suited for a 172 Ph.2 Cup.
Appreciate the difference may be in comfort which is subjective, however I cant see anything massively different.
Looks like the Evo weighs in at 9.6kg, and the Rev at 9.3kg.
Price difference seems to be the biggy, as...
So I picked up my first clio around a week ago, and now the project starts turning it into a track toy!

Not looked into it in great detail, who is supplying them and how are they matched against a turbo set up?
Ultimately I need to change the Exhaust and Cat ASAP, so it’s a case of which manifold do I get or plan for
All,
Started looking into the roll cages available but just after some advice on what’s needed without going overkill.
Basically I have a 172cup and it’s going to be used for open track days for a bit of fun without the risk of licence points!
Going to be mot compliant but I want to get a...

Needs an MOT but basically stuck with a problem. (Failed on emissions)
Cat is goosed, so looking to replace with the ktec sports Cat then recessed pipe back box.
The sports Cat is different depending on if mounting to a 182 manifold or a 172 manifold.
Thinking was to change to...

All,
Having not owned a Renault before I am after advice on what I need to stock up on when I purchase my first clio.
Previously I know Vauxhall’s had star drives for tearing it apart and I’m wondering whether Renault have their own drive/sockets as well.
Let us know.
