Not the most exiting of updates but I changed the aux belt this morning as there was no mention of it having been done with the timing belt.I plan to get the timing belt service done again pretty soon regardless but the aux belt had some marks on it that were bothering me and for the sake of...

Spotted a 42 plate 182 in racing blue coming from near the Mcdonalds at Blaydon.Had anthracite turninis,lowered,decent exhaust and writing on the skirt in a trophy style that looked something like AJ Reay?Looked to be in lovely condition and sounded great as well,I was in the family bus so didnt...

That looks awesome! I wish I had the time to keep on top of mine a bit more (knowing what I was doing and having decent gear would be a start as well I suppose) :rolleyes: Cheers Ross.

I have had stuff done by bettablast before and they have always done a very good job.The place in Southwick (assuming im thinking of the same one) is really good but was pretty expensive last time I got a quote.There is a new-ish place in westerhope that is also meant to be good but I havn't...

Looks very tidy,will have to keep a look out for you when im out and about. Cheers Ross.

Thats the one! I managed to get it down to a good price which included full t&t on it along with sorting a replacement power steering sensor as part of the deal.I knew at least one of the mounts were shot from the test drive but after swapping the dogbone bushes to powerflex it drives spot on...

Thanks mate.I have been working my way through your thread and gaining plenty of inspiration,great looking car! Cheers Ross.

Hi, After buying a 172 cup last week I thought I would put up a bit of a diary thread for what's going on with my car. This is the first car of my own I have had on the road for a while due to having a company 4x4 and messing about with a race car project.I moved house a little while ago and...

Thank you,was hoping something as straight forward as this might help.Will give it a go and report back. Cheers Ross.

Ktec do uprated mounts by vibratecnics I think,you can get them individually or as a full set along with the dogbone bushes. Cheers Ross. http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2655&catid=5&appid=2&pic=2

A lot happier now ive swapped the dogbone bushes to powerflex and the exhaust has stopped headbutting the life out of the subframe! Cheers Ross.

Hi, The brake pedal on my 172 cup seems to be developing a bit of an annoying squeek.Goes away after a while and then re-appears randomly.Anybody else had and solved this problem as its starting to get on my tits to be honest!:mad: Cheers Ross.

Im in Prudhoe near Newcastle and picked up a 172 cup last week.Excuse the crap pictures I havnt had chance to take any decent ones. Cheers Ross.

Assuming newbies are welcome I might be able to come and say hello.Also have to drive to Scotland the same weekend though so will have to see nearer the time. Cheers Ross.

Thanks very much,I thought as much from looking at the search but in new to clios so best to check. Cheers Ross.

Hi, Sorry if this is a basic question but just wanted to double check before I waste any money. Is the standard airbox the same for all ph2 172/182's,I need one to replace a cone filter on a 172 cup and dont want to buy the wrong one. Cheers Ross.

With any luck I should be collecting my new car this afternoon,will get some pics up after its had a clean. Cheers Ross.

For what its worth im 27 and about to buy my first RS clio having not had a fast/modified car for a few years due to having an L200 as a company car.I dont really need to get another car I just fancy a toy again and a clio fits the bill for me.I did test drive one yesterday that had a pipercross...

I didn't think it would be around long to be honest,it looks to be a great buy for the money.Just had word last night that the buyer for my car is not collecting until the 12th which is a week monday so gives me a bit of time to look around and see whats out there. Cheers Ross.

Thanks for the welcome guys,as it happens Karl its yours that I have my eye on.If its still for sale once the race car is gone I will be giving you a shout as it looks to be just what im after. Cheers Ross.

Hi, Im new here,just joined up as im on the look out for a ph1 172.Im currently waiting for a guy to come and collect my race car in the next 2 weeks or so and I fancy spending some of the cash on something small and quick which is pretty much how I ended up on here. Im from the Newcastle area...
