Great question. I've tried getting them in position for a while, but the passenger side keeps touching the drivers wiper when it comes to rest. The only way to get them not to touch is to raise the passenger wiper. In trying to sort this out (again) today, I noticed the spline on the passenger...

WOW. Fairplay, loving that. When I saw the 2118 first, I thought 'they need to be a lighter colour'. Looks absolutely class now though.

I relocated a smaller battery in the boot and in all honesty, not worth the hassle. Bit of a ball ache to fit imho, running a cable though the bulkhead and under carpet, fitting a whopping fuse in line etc. That said, the car was doing my head in at the time! The battery died after not using it...

With others and I advise against it. Relocation is probably the better option.

Oh and because I'm a total tart I ordered a new number plate for the Clio. Ignore the bits under the car, currently making room in the garage for my missus Christmas present, a tumble dryer. 😂

Doing some bits over the Christmas break. Rusty bumper brackets, worst grinder back, deox c gel and Hydrate 80 before throwing some paint on it. Current situation. Looking to build up a second rear beam to fit. I'm assuming a 182 beam does fit but has slightly more strengthening to...

BMS was for sale on FB. Quite hard to come by now. Feels OEM but a better position and not as bad at rattling as a PMS. It doesn't however have that PMS feel.

Let me know when you're bored and I can drop the Cup around...

Told you I made some mistakes. No, the Cliosport forum.

Not much happening in the Clio space at the moment. Plans are to still drop the rear beam and do a bit of undersealing and maintenance etc. I picked up a spare Turini from a nice guy from Carmarthen called Andrew. Said he was a member on here. Genuine, straight, cup offset Turini. Refurbed...

Sabelt wheel fitted and PH1 Horn stalk. And a fresh photo of a little blast this weekend.

And they look awful.

Another small update. In the effort to keep things OEM+ I've decided to swap in a PH1 Stalk with a horn and a genuine Sabelt Steering Wheel. That's this weekends jobs sorted...

Very minor updates but just keeping things fresh. New Coolant cap. Yes the brown clips are bothering me. Will spray them. Manky old engine mount out. New one in Not bad for an hours work.

Following on from the last post. I soldered, heat shrunk and put fresh conduit around the cooked wire. I placed the wires high up out of the way and refitted the remaining heat shield which is attached to the carpet. The heatsheild was hanging on for dear life so I ended up binning it and...

After fitting the clutch I had an intermittent flashing stop light. Quick search on here and it was recommended I top up the brake fluid. So I did and the light went away, for a bit. When I went on the drive pictured in the last post, the stop and handbrake light were on almost constantly. I...

I couldn't see a 172 Cup photo thread, I did search. If there is one, forgive me. Anyway, here's a few photos of my 172 Cup add yours! @its.bowz on instagram for those interested.

When I test drove the Cup the clutch bite was really high and heavy. It was terrible when pulling away from a standstill, making it look like I'd just passed my test with terrible clutch control. The heavy clutch, I'm used to as all the Clio's I've owned have had heavy pedals. The high bite was...

I'm sure you'd have no problem selling those parts... Have no idea who too... *cough

When I bought this Clio, I drove it back home thinking to myself "I could daily this" and I want to keep that thought alive, well at least try. Being a clean 'OEM' Cup, I don't want to stray to far.

I'm trying my hardest not to take this down the 'ruined for the road but great on track route'. RE steering wheel, I've never had a problem come MOT time, could be the extra £20 I slip the tester. Joking. But no, never been brought up.

I can't recommend the 250/265 enough, best driver focused car I have owned and the car I have owned the longest. I think the 280/300 (latest shape Megane) is focused more towards a daily driver and unless you need 5 doors, then I'd opt for the Mk3. Really is a great car.

Imagine the effort of removing all that when they hand it back to the mobility scheme.

So I thought I'd solved the brake bias valve leaking, but in the slippery panic of brake fluid up to my elbows I managed to do something silly and cross threaded the brake line going in to the N/S rear caliper. Doh! Ordered a new one and all new braided lines for the bias valve and the calipers...

Loving this and the latest youtube videos.

Sell the kids. I'd like to think this will sell as a whole car and not need to be broken.

🤤

Many congrats to you and the Cup. You both look so happy. Super clean as always.

Yeah, gravel driveway would be living dangerously 😂 They are great and my back and knees are thanking me!

Decided to replace the rear bias valve as it looked awful and didn't have any real movement. The unions came out pretty easily after soaking them in WD40. Old and new As it was a job that involved brake fluid, it made for a messy and stressy job, trying not to get fluid everywhere. In...
