Hi and welcome, I started 2 years back in a 1.0 litre corsa. All I did is put a new head unit in because the stock one was broken and keep it maintained. Keeping a car well maintained is one of the most valuable skills you can have, if you can service a 1.2, you can service most things. It will...

Aha yeah, they feel pretty quick too, especially on a rally! How does it compare to the Accord Type R? I have a friend who is after one of those.

Aha can't imagine having a straight through on a road car, would be beyond belief!

Good to see fellow cup owners around! Straight through exhaust must be deafening? Mine is bad as it is, and that's still with 2 silencers... Welcome to the host of "is this part the same as on a normal 172" based searching you will have to do when it breaks...

Hi, sorry to pester again, but (after some extensive searching, rest assured XD) does anyone know if the CV joint is the same on the 172 and the 172 cup? If so, I will just replace the CV joint.

I did search around for quite a while and didn't find it, sorry.

Hi, sorry for the bump and slight change of topic, but are the driveshafts the same for the 172 and 172 cup? I just ate a driveshaft on a rally tonight...

Ah, that's odd, I would have thought the two would read their speed in the same way... Yeah, there are a lot of 182's around, and 172's are quite old now, mine's 12 years old!

I'm not entirely sure, but I use a 172 Cup as my road rally car, and it has no ABS from factory. They are usually pretty reliable, so long as you don't absolutely hammer the stock gearboxes. In terms of removing airbags, drivers one comes out with the steering wheel, and the passengers one is...

V6Dan may have some details, he mentioned insuring a V6 laid up in this thread: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/my-new-iliad-v6.778050/ Although he didn't insure it laid up in the end afaik

Wow yeah that's way too much imo

Hi, and welcome. Very interested to see your clio cup! Might need a bit of advice on the sadev sequential box for my rally car at some point XD. I would suggest becoming a member for £12 a year, I have found it well worth it.

Hi, welcome to the forum, there's lots of good guys and good posts on here. I would really recommend paying the £12 to become a member, it's certainly worth it, if you want to buy/sell parts you can make your money back very easily.

Hi, welcome to the forum from another fairly new guy! Lots of people on here who seem to know everything (apart from front wheel bearing specifics...). Car looks sweet!

I have a solenoid if you want it, everything including button. I bought it off ebay for my old clio for £25, so if you want it, let me know a price you are willing to pay. In order to get to it, you need to uncrew the trim inside the bootlid (torx bolts iirc) and a few clips that pop off. You...

Hi, I need to replace my front wheel bearing on my 172 cup, and a look on euro car parts is telling me there are two sizes (40ID 84OD or 37ID 72OD). K-tec has different categories for 182 Cups and everything else, but it doesn't say which is larger. Renault parts direct has different bearings...

Hi, just wanted to know if anyone else out there is using the above tyre for road use? I was recommended to use them for autosolo use, as tyres have cannot be in the MSA list A tyre exclusion (so no 888's or other semi slicks). I recently used them in a 12 car rally, and through some of the...

Hi, I am building my clio to road rally spec, and the regulations state that I can't run aftermarket Xenon headlights, but that I can run OE headlights from a later model. Hence I want to put the Xenon lights some 182's have on my 172 Cup, but haven't been able to find them new for less than...

I don't know what your problem is, almost sounds like an Earth problem (from previous experiences) but the Clio's electrics are a bit odd in places aha, but I also have a faulty boot light, so if I find out what it was, I will let you know...

TheMaskedUnit all the ones I could find were in Lancashire! I am from the South Coast and living in Oxford, so that would have been far more welcome! Goodj I fitted a set of half decent tyres I had kicking around to it today and it completely cured the problem. I noticed the tyres on it were...

I wrote on here a while back to introduce myself, and have now bought a clio 172 cup, as the title suggests. So far I am very pleased with it, and plan on slowly building a rally car from it, hence I don't mind the few problems mine has. As always, the steering wheel is well and truly trashed...

Thanks! Yeah, I am quite concerned about having one that hasn't been cared for properly. I guess they have all been thrashed, but at least if they have been cared for properly it shouldn't be too bad. I can do jobs like the cambelt and dephaser pulley myself with no troubles, and engine/gearbox...

Hi, I have recently saved up enough to buy what will be my second car, and as the title suggests, I fancy a 172 Cup. I have read about a lot of people having pleasant experiences with them, and can't wait to get behind the wheel of one. My plan is to compete in road 12 car rallies and targa...
