    slip differential on 172

    The focus uses an ATB diff, not a traditional limited slip. THe cliocup racers have a totally different gearbox permitting them to use readily available LSDs. There isnt a 172 LSD available as such, but some might fit.

    Locking Handbrake.

    Yea, but its like the Ford Pinto in the states. they had a nasty habbit of blowing up if a car collided with the rear of them, but ford sold so many that it was chaper to pay off the lawsuits than to bring forth a recall. Plus Ren really dont care, hence why we threw the agency back in...

    Re-Map/Ecu - difference

    SMT6, well there will be a new SMT comming out later that can deal with the multi coil system of the 172s better.

    Cup Uneven Rear Tyre Wear

    Those shims arent easily available......RenaultSport are b******s and hard to get hold of for a decent period of time. Its easier to go to your local cliocup race team and get the shims through them.

    4 X Clio’s required for Brands Track Day

    Youve got to agree druids is the worst corner on that track, its horrible! It was extreemly slippy when i was there so druids was a slow corner with the tree sap on it an wet to boot...horrible. But it got a couple pics of paddoc at about 95mph and about 10" off the ground, surtees and the...

    valver oil filter

    No need for a tool, and hand tight is as tight as any filter should be.

    valver oil filter

    Its easy, jsut squeese your arm in the gap. And dont use the filter with the nut on the end, it makes life so difficut trying to work a spanner in that gap.

    4 X Clio’s required for Brands Track Day

    It was with the MGOT and SELOC.....bookatrack i think. 2 sessions an hour for full day wi hour brake for lunch.......running std pads and discs, no problems with the setup....only 4 braking points on the circut anyway and only 2 of those are hard braking.

    Cup Uneven Rear Tyre Wear

    1 answer....the majority of corners + roundabout in the UK go clockwise. Your wearing unevenly because there is a lack of -camber on the rear axle.

    **Dastek Unichip question**

    Chipping is, but copying a chip isnt quite teh same as running a programmable system. What you paying for isnt the equipment as such, but the knowledge and setup skill used to tune each injection point to the optimum AFR for that rpm and load point. A chip....copy it and you still have no...

    182 Oil: 5W 40

    When an engine is being run in the main thing you are trying to acheive is a proper seal between the piston rings and the cylinder wall. Bearings of most sorts and cam lobs run on either oil films or hydrodynamic wedges so there is no actual metal to metal contact. If you run a synth oil then...

    182 Oil: 5W 40

    Dont use a fully synth oil for the first 10K. Id say stay away from the semi aswell, mineral is much better for the run in.

    Running in

    You dont bed the rings properly if you keep it under 3.5k rpm. Do a search, talked about in depth.

    182 in Evo’s Fast Club 2004

    Lotus decided against it because the FP was too heavy and Renault wanted too much per engine. Just think, if they did have renault engines, the wealth of tuning parts for them would be bonkers.

    Mobil1, 5W50 for the 172

    There is technically no need at all of a XXW50 oil even in summers with a stock engine. Its even worse when autumn/winter comes, a 15WXX oil is ways to slow to come to full efficiency temperature. Unless your engine takes high RPMs (well above the 7250 stock F4R max RPMs) fot a long time e.g...

    16v engine ticking

    You checked to see if your exhaust is blowing around the cat joins? This always makes a ticking noise and can be heard inside the car.
