I'm looking to get some Corbeau club sports for my 172 cup, been reading a few threads about fitting seats in general, just wondering the best subframes to buy for them? Was looking at either the OMP ones or some from Jon Foz, read a few posts saying that the OMP frames sit wonky and are too...

I've recently had my entire dash out to have it flocked. When I've put it back in I've had a couple of issues. The lights for my heater controls no longer work, the right side of my clock display is really dim, the left is perfectly fine. Also, does anyone know what this is for? I've...

I seem to be having a lot issues with my rear brakes on my 172 cup scraping a lot. My brakes weren't working the best either so had them taken apart, cleaned and rebuilt by a specialist. They were ok for a few days but they've started doing it again. My brakes are working fine but the scraping...

I'm currently re doing the interior in my 172 cup and want to change the door cards. Can any one confirm with me if the door cards in a 172 and 182 are different? From photos it looks as though the 182 ones are black and the 172 ones are the same colour as the cup ones just with alcantara trim...

Hi I've read a few threads about horn wiring, and people with similar problems, but cant find the exact answer I'm looking for. I put an aftermarket steering in my cup, when it came to wiring up the horn, something shorted out and a little smoke came from the solder joints on the squid just...

Went out in my car last night, pulled away fine, no problems, 10 mins later pulled up to the lights, couldn't select 1st gear. Took the car back home, tried it stationary on the drive, still cant get it in with the car on or off. All the other gears are fine, they all select and pull perfectly...

Hi, so I attempted to have a go at flocking my dashboard this weekend, watched a few videos, thought it looked fairly straight forward. Bought myself a flocking kit from FlocKing. Didn't quite go to plan though. The end result was quite patchy, I'm assuming either the glue set before I could...

Hi, I'm looking to get a new steering wheel for my 172 cup, looked at a few but unsure about what to get. Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations? Also don't know whether to get a dished wheel or not, do they push the wheel back by much in comparison to the standard wheel? I'm quite...

Hey, I'm trying to get my hands on a Sabelt Renault Sport Wheel, does anybody know if anyone still sells these? I've looked everywhere, seems like they've been discounted. Asked a couple of suppliers too, but no luck, Cheers John

I have currently own a 172 Cup and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. I've had it for 3 years now been such a fun car to own but I'm wanting something else now. I know the number of cups is steadily dropping, but I'm not sure if it'll be worth much more in a few years time. I'm not...

I've seen a few threads like this now so apologies if I'm repeating what others have already posted, but I cant seem to find a solution and they don't 100% relate to the issue I'm currently having. So my car has been a bit temperamental when starting, most of the time its fine and starts first...

Hi everyone, I've noticed a noise I can only describe as scraping or grinding when my car is under heavy load, it only does it when I take it above 4500-5000 revs is, so its when ever it comes into the power band. I held the car at at 5000ish revs and it continues to make the noise. My immediate...

Hi guys, I started my car up yesterday and it was juddering slightly on idle, I raised the RPM to about 2000 and it started juddering quite severely. When I tried to drive it felt like it didn't want to rev and was struggling for power. I let it sit and get up to temperature and the RPM that it...

My Clio 172 Cup has been running fine. Took it for it's MOT on Friday, but they couldn't do the emissions test because the radiator fan wasn't kicking in. The garage put in a temporary fix to get it through the test and gave me it back. I've since been to an auto electrics place to sort the...

Hi, I'm sure this is been covered before, if it has, and someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.... But I've been having problems with my boot, for a while it wouldn't lock, and how all of a sudden it's locked and it wont unlock, does anyone know the solution to this...

The wheels on my 172 Cup have been powder coated and I'm sure many people have done the same. Just wondered if anyone knows if I can use alloy wheel cleaner on them? I don't know how aggressive it is and I don't want to risk damaging the paint. I'm just cleaning them with normal car shampoo at...

This might be a daft question, but has anyone replaced the wheel bolts for their 172 Cup? I ordered some bolts online but the taper is too small for the Speedline Turinis. Mine are all rusted and I want to replace them. I know I need M12 x 1.5 thread size but can someone tell me the correct...

Just got myself a Pipercross Viper today for my 172 Cup, I'm going to run the cold air feed through my fog light, which I'm sure many of you have done, just wondering what people have used to hold it in place? I've just got some carbon fog light surrounds so didn't really want to use glue and...

Looking at getting these for my 172 Cup, any one know the best stuff for bonding them into position? Never worked with carbon fiber before.

Hi, I bought a 172 Cup in November 2013 it was spot on for a while but recently it has started jumping out of 3rd gear. It only seems to do it when changing from 2nd, pretty sure it's not doing it when its driving in 3rd. The gear box was taken out and refurbed in June 2013, so I'm assuming the...
