What was the heaviest thing you removed? I went from a metal to fibre glass bonnet with frame on an XR2 and the savings weren't massive.

It's had a hard life as a family wagon but it's got a lot going for it :) Previous owner parted with almost 2 grand at a very reasonable and capable Renault dealer that I've used in the past and it's had plenty of new parts on top of that, flew through it's last mot and it's got new...

My Renault book dated 2002 says 1035kg without driver for CB15, CB1C, CB1G, CB1N, CB1S, CB1T. My SPL handbook supplement insert says 1021kg for the cup without driver dated April 2002. Yet the cup brochure clearly says 89kg lighter. Need to get a few models on some scales it seems as Renault...

Also stuck number plate on with super glue and let it run down the boot and on to the bumper :P

Still wonder if my 106 diesel which helped me get out of debt by being so utterly cheap to run is still going. Sold it to a guy who wanted it for his daughter. I did so much in that little car and it took it all. I thought about doing a text check on the reg but I would cry if it turned out to...

Accidental post. Stupid tapatalk.

Has black wheels and blue calipers.

Have bought HK52 ZGJ. It's a 172 cup and wondered if any of the previous owners reside on here. Have searched but nothing comes up. This car has had a far amount spent on it in the last few years. Was traded in for a trophy in Kidderminster with a misfire, knocking and a very stiff and sloppy...

So true. I drove our 172 cup home when we bought it with a misfire, stiff sloppy sh*tshift and rusty rear discs and still had the most fun in ages and my re-mapped hdi estate was a laugh on track. Now it works it still feels knackered but in all the right ways. Even though my HDI is 200+lbs/ft...

Hurts more when you only use the car for a couple of thousand miles a year.

Second hand nearly new top mount, top gearbox mount, secondhand non rusty oand not cracked coil pack, selector asshole to fit Bush, selector conrod, fixed gear stick gaitor, gearbox oil for top up. Just under 100 quid all in. Have just bought forum membership and will be buying some mats. So...

I have a re-mapped 206 HDI diesel estate. It does the family thing perfectly for my needs and is cheaper to fix than I expected. An effortless drive even with a quarter ton of band gear on board. A Clio 172 cup is sat on my drive for the odd blast and track days because it's just so much fun. I...

Misfire. Fixed with secondhand coilpack and removing rust left by old pack on manifold. Manky quickshift. Improved with new parts as have old style gear change :( and lubing bone dry joints. Holed rubber dust cover for linkage. Fixed with puncture repair kit, rear brakes rusty. Intermittently...

Take your coil pack off and check the bottom. I had rust between the base of the coil pack and the inlet. Cleaned up and a non rusty second hand one fitted as mine was quite bad. Soooooo much better! My idle was shot to pieces, had a sluggish mid range and a misfire around 5k that the car would...

Thanks. Is that the little nylon one held in by a circlip? How do you actually get all the linkage apart at the gearbox end? It seems to be encased in rubber covers that would tear if open far enough to expose what's inside.

Is there a Renault parts database anywhere? Like peugeots servicebox with it's very helpful public access.

My cup has a quick shifter and I hate it. Can I buy a lever from any MK2 Clio or does it have to be a sport? Searches come up with a few options but I would like completely bog standard. I didn't find the play in the standard 182 I had before this car a problem. Thanks.

Thanks. That was the document that misled me!

Scratch this. Think I got the wring end of the stick!

I've searched and come up dry so... Does the 182's Rear toe out setting have any benefit on the 172 cup? What did Renault do to the rear to change from toe in to toe out. Would matching the front toe to the 182 again bring any benefits? I'm aware of how these things affect a cars handling...

My dad and I ran a standard 182 FF two up with a tank of fuel on Michelin PS3's and it went more than well enough at airfield track days and at castle combe. We were told we looked one of the fastest things on track at a wet combe. Standard car is very confident in the wet on good tyres. Upset a...

You sir are a legend. It won't be until next year now but your help gives my plans another avenue! I'd like to save a tired but worthy example rather than Muller a tidy future classic. If you decide to sell the tools in the future let me know and I'd be interested. I can let my dad know the...

Ok. Thanks. Seems the tools are currently unavailable. No stock in France and supply problems. So it's either hire or aftermarket. I can see why the aftermarket items bend and how to reduce that. Missing the square bracing washers that are on the Renault item isn't a good start. especially if...

Awesome! I'll try sending him a message. Thanks again!

Great! That's good to know!

Haven't been on here for a while. Which traders are those?

That's what I'm thinking after a lot of research but the two I'm meeting up with will confirm for sure as there wasn't much they hadn't done to that clio.

Thanks!

I've tried just about every order of search words I can find and nothing recent has come up on here or Google so I'm asking the question. Is anyone still hiring these tools out? This is just an enquiry at the moment Renault are currently charging 162.14 for the current lot which isn't bad as I...

Not one reply! Good job I'm having a pint with a father and son team that used to run a trophy winning modified 172 cup when I did sprints then isn't it :p
