Think it was 105nm,

Has anyone used KTEC Clio Wheel bolts? https://k-tecracing.com/products/ktr-clio-megane-twingo-wheel-bolts. I have also found this place https://www.alloywheelnutsandbolts.co.uk/product/set-of-20-x-alloy-wheel-bolts-m12-x-1-5-26mm-thread-19mm-hex/ I have started to have a few issues with my...

Took my Cup to do an event at Silverstone (VSCC Pomeroy Trophy) basically a few auto tests in the morning then a 40 minute high speed trial in the afternoon, all going well until I thought I would just double check the tightness of the wheel bolts got to the last wheel....then snap! Bolt broke...

Yeah I expect both front wheels locked and engine stalled, it would have just bumped started it self when the wheels started rotating again.

Yeah current issue February 25. Interesting they have used the same photos as the modern classics feature.

Hi everyone, just thought some of you may be interested in seeing this..

Could be stretched cables, my handbrake ended up being like that so replaced both cables and was fine afterwards.

One of mine from a Castle Combe sprint a few years ago.

I love these types of threads.... I bought my Cup at the end of 2016, via Ebay for the grand total of £970.00 The story from the seller (who was a builder) was that it was his apprentices car and he had owed him some money so took the car from him as a payment. All seemed quite dodgy but I...

Just seen this feature on the EVO website published yesterday. https://www.evo.co.uk/renault/clio/206804/renault-sport-clio-172-cup Its probably just a re released feature but still good there is some acknowledgment about how great these cars are! Thought you guys may be interested..

Looks great and being 04 plate must have been one of the last cups registered?

Good price and yes mats are correct for the car, they tend to slip forward as they only have two little velcro bits to hold them in position so can look slightly not correct. I've been dailying mine for a while now and is a comfortable place to be, only issues I've had so far is the door...

Seems these are now out of stock, hopefully everyone that wanted one managed to get one. Not sure how many they had in stock but they didn't last long.

Yes a friend had a 1.2 and we measured the door glass and the cup glass was thinner, can't remember by how much though. Surprising as I can't imagine it adding much to the overall weight reduction.

Yep

Just seen this in Evo magazine,

I've just had an email this morning saying RPD have these grills back in stock. Not sure how long these will be in stock for and whether anymore will be produced after this.. https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/exterior-parts/renault-clio-172-182-front-upper-grille/ Wasn't sure where...

Looking great Chris!

My insurance renewal came through in December and they stated that they were unable to offer me insurance (DirectLine). I assume it could be due to the age of the car (R26 Megane) but they never mentioned why. I was pretty miffed as (I thought) it was cheap but actually forced me to shop around...

I think Ktec do wishbones, not sure on what quality is like but presumably would be better than eBay ones and would have the correct castor etc. Or could try and find a decent set of secondhand ones. I have been enjoying seeing your progress, this is something which I want to do to mine when...

I think its a reflection of the current market, if you have the money most things could be a good buy at the moment and if the seller is desperate to sell then potential bargains could be had. But yes I've also been looking at trophy prices, seem to be a lot for sale and prices seems to have...

I currently have a 172 cup and R26. From my perspective, they are quick once up and running and can cover ground very quickly. But in my opinion the 172 cup is more fun, the 172 cup is like an excitable puppy that just wants to go fast, the R26 is still quick and the differential is (for me at...

Looks superb! (although I am biased as a cup owner!)

That looks great!! Difficult to find good low mileage unmolested Cups nowadays!

I have CTEK chargers (think it is the MXS5) on all my cars, I leave them on constantly, the idea is that the charger will maintain the battery and pulse the battery every so often (I am sure someone can explain better than my attempts) which keeps the battery health up. In my opinion the best...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115025604765?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dL8woeYQTku&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=9eL0xBaFT5W&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I managed to get 10 or 15% off, so ended up being just over £100 a light.

I just bought some new Hella headlights from Ebay, think they were a touch over £100 with a discount, (for a 172 cup). My thinking was I don't know how long Hella original items will be available for so thought I'd buy a set whilst I can and still keep the originals which I'll clean up and...

Morning all, I drove my 172 Cup up to Mallory yesterday and when over the other side of the circuit looking at where I had parked I noticed another 172 parked next to me, unfortunately when I went to go it had already left, wondered if it was anyone from here. Always nice to see another 172/182.

Mine seemed to be more noticeable at cruising speeds of 65mph or so and with light throttle in 4th or 5th. Like a misfire that would then clear. I had the electrical light come on the dash and it would go into limp mode. Once turned off and then on again the limp mode would clear. Check the...
