I'm tempted but all my free cash is going on the Merc at the minute and the Clio isn't sorted yet.

Good writeup! Looking forward to reading the rest (and passing you next time at Blyton!)

More pics on my build thread, about 1/3 way down this page: https://cliosport.net/threads/jims-black-ph2-172-just-like-everyone-elses.788788/page-2

I looked into this when I got my half cage, and the general consensus is that the Clio has a particularly strong A pillar/roof, and that in a reasonable rollover you would be okay with a half cage. But for me, I got offered mine for cheap from someone that was upgrading. Another vote for SW...

I could knock you 4 up out of mild steel but I've not got the material otherwise, soz x (y)

Might be able to help as well

Not the same application, but when I bought the BCs for my Lexus the preload was set from the factory. But that didn't have a conversion element to it.

Don't see many Sunflower yellow Ph1s! 🥳:ROFLMAO:

I remember seeing some with a bottle jack under the flat section so you could really increase your chances of injury.

I'm reading that link as £28 each, is that right?

Looks like it!

Power steering pump is definitely too noisy to risk a trackday with, so I've ordered another. It's my own fault really, the course of events was: Overheated the pump and boiled the fluid, running the reservoir dry and shagging the pump. Had the pump replaced, fresh fluid, and presumed I'd be...

Ordered that pump. Will report back. To keep this as a useful comment, here's the link to my build thread post where I fitted the cooler: Clicky Link

Yes mate, well, technically no. Where the low pressure line changes to a hard pipe for about 12” behind the rad I basically binned off the hard pipe and put my cooler lines in there. I think I’m going to go for that pump you shared. It’s got the same chance did being shite as the others but...

I have. But I killed the second pump before fitting it.

Thanks for the headsup on that one. Don't worry I won't be pointing fingers if something goes amiss.

Is there any foolproof way other than sourcing a NOS pump at the cost of about £300?

Ah b*ll*cks. Trying to get it sorted this week. So is eBay recon better? My head is spinning with options. This is the kind of stuff that's starting to get on my t*ts with the Clio.

Thread bump as I think this is a pretty damn useful thread, and want to keep the info in one place... Right then, this time last year when I looked there were next to no Nissan pumps out there, however now there are! A lot of them already have a single piece pulley pressed on, as opposed to a...

Love these. Can see myself in a 530d in the future.

Defo think its a 2 box Piper when I change. I've just got to fix the perpetually broken power steering pump again.

You've bought them now, but the only thing I noticed when fitting mine was the handling felt better. I don't remember any downside.

Ah that's good to know. I had a Subaru that used to set off car alarms so I'm a bit paranoid.

Do you get away with the noise limits? Or do you have to take it easy past the meters? I'm leaning towards the Piper one to be honest.

That sounds great as well!

Do you ever take it on track?

Been listening to these in the car and they all sound great, especially the first one! But I think that may be the loudest?

Ah yep that makes sense then. I was confused and not paying attention whilst pretending to be working.

Great info thanks! I might end up running a decat at some point but just want to get the stupid exhaust sorted for now. I spotted this but didn't want to say :ROFLMAO: The car is stripped and caged and mainly a track car, but I really don't want to fail noise testing on track so happy to go...

Ey up. Just wondering what options there are for a Ph2 172 catback exhaust that's available new, rather than having to scour the classifieds. Needs to be trackday quiet and preferably stealth type. I don't think the PMS mates up to the standard cat so gets quite dear when you add the sports cat...
