So got my car back a couple of weeks ago from the garage and been really busy getting it ready for spa at the weekend here are a few pics of what's been done sorry for the quality but to busy to get the camera out. As for the diff and gearbox rebuild the car drives great now and feels...

Not checked anything yet as I collected it then had to leave straight away with work, but will do when I get home at the weekend

It's a fia spec omp 4.25L 6 nozzle System, slightly over the top but I prefer to be on the safe side as the missis drives the car also. Fitted the system over the weekend but not to keen on how I have done it in the engine bay so will start again next week.

Show us your 172 cup's Oh go on then lol

It could be I will have a look when I get home from working away

Bugg you ain't filling me with confidence chip lol

This is both strange and worrying as it could be the box, diff, or many other things that have been done or just me being paranoid. Surely if something was wrong after 400 mile it would have failed?

Guys Just a quick one I have had my gearbox rebuilt with all new seals and bearings and also a quaife LSD fitted along with new clutch, I have only drove it about 400 miles so far but it's whines a little at motorway speed in speed but when I give it the beans in 2nd it has quite a loud whining...

Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Looks good Sonny. I was looking at buying that sun strip at one point, would have been even more confusing for people when we are on the track hahaha.

Looks great Phil, makes me miss Mine even more :-( I hope to have it back soon As for the boost idea do it and sell me your itb,s nice and cheap lol

I quite like the look of the spaced out wings and maybe good for brake cooling on a track car

Cool man, which day you booked, I want to do dn8 also

Sweet that's what I was after, what pads you running phil?

Cheers fella's Phil what you think to the brakes? I haven't drive mine yet to know. Sonny for now I will swap them over but Cindy is doing her towing test on the 15th so hopefully will be using a trailer soon. Still not got the car back as Sanj has been having a few problems at the garage...

Sun strip was on eBay mate, it came as a two part kit so you can choose where tho put the Renault Sport bit

Well the headlight blanks are now done, I had to change my plan as I could not get the duct I had to fit so now I have used the original headlight insert to guide the air to my ktr induction kit. The edges are not as straight as I wanted but everything I tried to fix it the hole became bigger...

I have just been making some also, the plan was to fit a large rectangular duct into it like the cup race cars but it wouldn't fit well so ended up using the old headlight insert as a guide for the air which will do the same job as I have just got a ktr induction kit so should look like this...

Well got my Gopro hero 3 black edition today ready for Spa in march, will practice mount it once the car is back.

Cheers Rob I get it back in 2 weeks so will do lots of update from then on

Hi Rob Sorry mate the previous owner fitted them, they are from a real cup racer, I did see some on eBay a few weeks ago but not sure how much they went for. Gaz

Yes mate, I just used a Dremal on the back and cut everything off but the mounting brackets

Wow loving the bonnet fella, cannot wait to see it done. Gaz

I know mate, my OCD hates seeing the wheels so dirty lol

Not a huge update as I haven't see the since October but the garage sent me a couple of pics today, so far the white line arb is now on, gear box is in pieces for the rebuild and quaife LSD and the wilwoods are now fitted. I will be collecting at the end of the month and getting it home for...

Ok thanks, my problem also is that my tow car is a smax ( whispers quietly) which grosses at 2505kg and I need to say below 4259kg complete but I hear companies with down plate a trailer to you need to say within limits

Guys Can you please tell me which trailers you use for moving you clips around and what you think to them? As I'm getting very confused on which to buy at the moment, also a lot of the width wise are ok but a little short on length I think but unsure, are you able to have over hang on the...

Ok thanks Mark, I will have to look at the best way I can route it but keep all three in one line

Ok that's makes sence as it is just doing the same as the omp way just with a long pipe from the bottle to the first T piece. As for the engine bay it would be far tidier if I could put that T piece in there so I can run one line behind the engine to the manifold and the right side of the car...

Ok thanks Adam, that's what I was thinking but was insure hence asking, cheers for your help all

Omp way My idea
