    nitrogen filled tyres

    I had used the on a RS4 on track with thermo TMPS to measure tyre heat, yea they did stay very consistent on track, and temp and PSI only rose slightly. Its not even worth it for road use. IIRC you have to use special air valves to reduce moister constant...or something...(which mine never had).

    Basic spec Renaultsport Clio Race Series

    Maybe the title needs changing to indicate its for the TARC Tricolore Trophy? Or am I missing something?

    Anyone know the torque settings for the Thermostat housing? Looked on here, workshop manuals and the Haynes manual and nothing!

    Ahh Yes of course, I was having a moment. Out of curiosity would this detect a rear bent beam, I'm guessing it would.

    Good effort mate, just make sure there is no moment (overtime) in the frame or mounting point, esp on the front bumper.

    Cheers mate will double check, but don't remember seeing oil residual coming from the housing.

    sonny172cup "track car to race car project"

    Does this involve extracting the bearing cap (special tool needed?), cleaning, refitting and then using the injection bond (Mastixo) or will it be ok to leave it in situ and smear bond around the joins after giving them a clean?, the engine will be kept in the car, so the first option might need...

    Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" While the gear box is still away I thought I would remove the clutch and flywheel to inspect an oil leak suspected coming from the crank oil seal, it was confirmed to be that, also think it maybe weeping from the sump gasket too, odd as this was new in...

    Ph1 172 Track Car. Next Year I Go Racing - Hopefully!

    I was going to do the MSV trophy but went for the French Trophy in the end...I like the fact that the FT is made up of 2 x 15 min races on same day, TT and MSV is obviously 45min with mandatory pit stop.

    Splendid Sir, looking good, what series you planing on racing in? I echo what Russ says above regarding the Tricolore trophy. ps, I think the D shape steering wheel isn't allowed in MSA events, anyone confirm (or is it open D steering wheels) ? Sonny

    bought a 172 to go to the nurburgring!

    Funnily enough it was a injector that failed on mine en-route to the Ring, but this is now a slippery slope...how many spares do you take, in the end you will be carrying boxes of spares for spares lol But it is good practice if you're ''in to' track days.

    bought a 172 to go to the nurburgring!

    Just make sure the car is in sound condition, i.e recently serviced, condition of belts and that you have checked everything over. Remember the car needs to make it there and back...I.v driven it many times and have broken down 3 times en-route to and from the Ring, as well as having the odd...

    AD08 or R1R's for the wet?

    R1Rs was fantastic in the wet, not used AD08 but use AD048s and the R1Rs was better

    Clio 172 Cup- Track Car

    Track day events are not insured to allow lap timing...would be a bonus iff the beacon is left "on" though. Marshals would have a field day with that DT timer if they saw that though at Brands lol Great project mate, coming on nicely
