£1300 includes a new clutch if that makes it any better?

Yes, it's also my daily driver though I do have another car (luckily!).

Unfortunately the diff on my 172 Cup exploded on saturday, good news is that it didn't damage the casing. The garage who recovered it have quoted me £1300 for a rebuilt gearbox & new clutch. Now this seems expensive to me & I also wonder if it's worth spending that amount on a car that's not...

Any idea anybody?

Cheers, radio does work so maybe it's something more sinister then!

Hi all, went to charge my phone from cigarette lighter in my 172 Cup & it doesn't work, I know its not the charger as it works in other cars. 1st place to look is the fuse I guess but I have no idea which one it is! All help / suggestions appreciated.

Really, I've heard that the slam panel needs to cut & a smaller Radiator is required amongst other things?

But isn't the 172 engine bay a bit tight for ITB's?

Yes, this was discussed & wondered if you could mount the 200 engine on the 172 'box? Thought the wiring may be the biggest headache.

Is it possible to swap the engine from a 172 for a 197/200 engine & has anybody ever done it? I guess its not a simple swap but may be an easier/cheaper way to increased power than going down the ITB/JMS route? Somebody has suggested to me that the 172 engine is quite basic compared to the...

Top man, cheers for that :)

can nobody help?

Hi guys, I hillclimb my 172 Cup & want to replace the seats with something a bit better! Due to using the car daily they need to be recliners, will hopefully be lighter, sit lower & offer more support than the hopeless originals. Anybody got any sensibly priced ideas for me? Not using harnesses...

If you have any of my 172 I'd be pleased to see them Congrats for doing so well with the Saxo - great weekend wasn't it :-)

I've been recommended to set mine up with 2-3 degrees of negative camber & some toe in at the rear for road use & hillclimbing. Not had it done yet as I'm still unsure if this is correct or not?

Entry costs are typically £75.00 to £85.00 per day. Fuel costs etc are very low due to very short distances involved!

What are you driving shifty?

And I also drove there, drove the kids to school in it the next day too! Mine lacks the matched inlets/sports cat/remap of Dans but they're on the list to do... All you need to compete is a MSA National B Non Race License (about £37.00), a set of FIA overalls, gloves & helmet. The car just...

Cheers Fred, any recommendations on where to buy them, K-Tec are nearly £600 the set!!!

I have a 172 Cup with Eibach Proline? (red) springs & I'm thinking of changing the dampers, the car has done just over 60k. I use the car daily as well as hillclimbing/sprinting in it, I will be getting a geometry set up done but was thinking changing the dampers 1st would be a good idea? Also...

it isn't easy I'm telling you!!! I've got another one to do tonight, I'm dreading it!

it bleeding doesn't!

thanks Will, actually managed to prise the key apart using a chisel of all things & changed the CR1220 battery which thankfully has done the job. Just got to do the spare now...!

Hi, went to lock my 172 Cup yesterday using the remote central locking as usual & nothing happened! Having to lock the car manually but then the central locking doesn't work so I have to lock both doors separately, can't lock the boot though. I'm guessing its the battery in the key? I have a...

BTB are at http://www.stealth4clio.co.uk/ - mines been on a few weeks now & I'm impressed. Not too loud but slightly 'raspy', seemed to improve pick up & acceleration on my 172 Cup too. Glad I went with BTB after considering Yozza & K-Tec systems.

172 Cup with std manifold, Ph1 Cat & BTB Stealth exhaust runs @ 94db if that helps

Hopefully you'll live to grow out of your youthfull stupidity. Roads ain't racetracks & the next thing we know you'll be posting a rant about the BiB for nicking you LOL!

hi Dan, are you in Class A3? I also hillclimb a 172 Cup & my local venue is Wiscombe, I'm running a fraction over 50sec on Toyo T1-Rs, should be on Kumhos or R888s for next season hopefully as well as manifold matching & a re-map. Be great to race against another Cup!
