Hi all, haven’t been on here for ages, but had a lovely 172 Cup that I clubsported about 12 years ago! I’d like to get one again but it needs to be one of the 2003 ones with AC- too old to be fussed about that little extra weight and power sapping and they’re probably pretty rare now with so...

my turinis are on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150993676678 pm me if you have any questions!

As the title really. My cup has the original speedline turini 16s, all 4 have some kerbing and flaking and would benefit from a refurb, they have michelins fitted, 195 45 16, prob 4-5mm up front, 3 at the back. thanks for your advice! Damian

By the way, Fred was spot on, unsurprisingly, removing the rail isn't brute strength it's wd40 and wiggling it like mad.

Just to share, I was running on 3 cylinders, had the error code for injection system (can't remember it but same code as mentioned earlier here). Just change all 4 injectors, running super sweet now! When you replace the fuel rail, it will feel like the injector o rings aren't popping into the...

that might work. i'll report back however i do it, but have packed up today, too much rain and too little time. i was thinking i might have to get the exhaust off of its hangers. Unbelievable how long it takes to fit seats single handed. The electronics have been really easy (it's a 172 cup)...

Cheers Sam, why do i have no useful mates around at times like this! May have to get it on a ramp anyway, unless my wife is about to turn into my pit crew.

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help- i am fitting sparco seats and the rear bolt on passenger side is blocked underneath the car by the exhaust- i can get a socket on it but can't get an extension on there- the silencer blocks it. Any suggestions? Just had the sports exhaust fitted by mark...

super old thread- but a big question that about the pretensioners. I just installed sparco evos and the pretensioner is definitely not a good fit on the side. A piece of black metal on it folds around and prevents it from sitting snugly against the side mount. How have others done this? Thanks!

Hi everyone, Just had my Cup in the capable hands of Mark Fish and saw T6 CUP there- kind of what i might end up doing with my 172. Very nice! Who's is it? I'd love to talk about what's been done to it. Mark was fantastic, I just bought the car and he checked it over thoroughly, and all it...

Just picked up my clio cup today, really impressed for the money! came with two power enhancing modifications. A BARC sticker and a cliosport.net sticker :-) HF52EXZ originally from Dorset, via Darlington, West Yorks to London. Anyone recommend a specialist in Kent/ SE London? I am thinking...

All in the title really, spotted it on ebay, wondered if it is an ex cliosport car? Thanks

just think how well it will go with the work done, and how much you'll be able to enjoy it for thousands of miles to come. Truly crap news to get this list but you should have a really solid cup after that (unless it's one of those unloved wrecks, but you wouldn't have bought one of them, right?)

thanks folks, new to looking for a clio, not surprised he seemed very keen to offload with him doing the cambelt.... and no lowering of price.

Not complaining about garages, but owners that "lose the history" or have 10 other lines about why they haven't change the belts, the oil, the filter and the rest! I'm after a 172 cup or possibly a 182, and nearly all the good ads en up with at least one shady story. I'm supposed to trust that...

I'm the first sucker for a beautiful colour- I paid for pearl and flip paint on 2 bikes- but there's just so much potential for this to be a money pit and it's a bit of a step away from the 172 cup i was really after anyway. I couldn't feel good buying a car from what seems to me to be a dodgy...

that was my plan- price is low but i really don't think it's a bargain at all... there are a few really nice condition, well looked after 172 cups and 182's on here so I think i'll be recycling a car you already know on cliosport. Thanks for the fantastic info and support available on here. I'm...

hi my reply was held for checking by the mods? anyway, maybe because of the link. Up for 2999, guy will have the belts done for asking price. just feels dodgy that they weren't done 2k ago, as it has 74k.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220960841839?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 yeah, just sounds generally dodgy at that place- maybe isn't at all, but sounds it to me. Car is up for 2999

hi all, my first post- looking for a 182 and found a nice PB coloured one on ebay- just to say there is no evidence given of it having a cambelt change in 75k miles and the guy selling it thinks it's not an issue :-) I love the colour, it's stunning in the sun, but want a straight car. Looking...
