Dom, if you really don't want people to know who did it I'd edit one of your earlier posts in your project. You state who did the cambelt, and that (at the time your car was in the garage) that Ktec 'tightened some cambelt bolts'.

Its so you don't have high pressure (40psi+) fuel pressure on the cars when racing - less chance of a fire in the chance of an accident. Same as banger racing rules.

Re: mintys 172 turbo Can you not get a better joiner here? Looks very squashed from the photo.

Is there a specific feed off the coilpack for that light then? I don't suppose you know which wire it is? :)

Think I have too; I'll have a look. When I saw it (or a similiar clio to this) at Doncaster show there were 2; both williams iirc, one with gold wheels and one with silver wheels. Parked next to each other by the stands. Is this car one of those, or a different one?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i98-twxQZ0Y This has probably been posted before. Do the RC5 pads do that or just the full-on race RC6 ones?

But if you do all the above you'll have some money but still have a "two-tone" car and issues with the ABS, which surely will still annoy you?

Seems expensive to me. I paid £2150 for my 2003 172 cup with 56k, FSH, belts 6 months ago by Ktec, brand new cup suspension, decent tyres, full MOT and brembo HC discs etc. Car was up for £2,600 on Ebay - auction ended with no bidders so I phoned, went to see the car, haggled and I feel I've...

2 silver 172s at Blyton Park yesterday

Should have kept his toe in instead of braking I reckon

Didn't know that - should be part of the buying guide :)

I never seem to notice the shift light in my 172 cup and it revs so damn fast. Can I get to the back of the bulbs on the clocks and wire in a separate one somewhere from the light that's currently there?

you got that from the photos?!

LY 197/200 L99LKE at top of M606 Dark coloured 182'at it' going round M62 J25 roundabout

Also on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-RENAULTSPORT-172-CUP-51k-MILES-OFFERS-/130768510667?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1e72691ecb#ht_1201wt_1086

Not the best pics - why are you going through insurance? I'm assuming you didn't do the damage yourself? I'd be tempted to drop the roof liner and try and push as much of that out as I could first.

..or just take it for a proper test drive next time? I got mine on Ebay - waited for the auction to end with no bidders as it was over-priced. Fired in with an offer once the auction finished and did the deal outside Ebay for lots less than the reserve was to start with.

Saw your Rallye leaving mate, sounds loud :p Did ya see my cup hiding in the visitors car park? lol That m5 wasn't my bag at al, but I guess it served a purpose as advertising his business (although the quality of the wrap wasn't that cracky either?) lol My pictures here (need to make mental...

Car looks very clean! Just to confirm though; in "exploring your hometown" you found some carparks and an industrial estate? :p

30, 172 cup. Bought as toy for the weekends.

jeez nearly £3k. Might sell mine if they're commanding that sort of premium lol Hope you enjoy the car :)

That is strong strong money EVEN if it was a minter

Just spoke to the organisers - if you want your car 'in the show' you pre-reg and pay £3 (plus a fiver pp for access to the grounds/house). If you just want a nosey about you just pay the fiver pp for access to the grounds/house.

I'm going to this. Leeds_182, have you registered your clio or are you just going to spectate?

Bought an un-silenced decat last week and got it fitted this weekend. My mate helped me fit it so it wasn't as hard as some people make it out to be, just a bit of patience required. My car only has a standard exhaust system, so although the noise has increased ever so slightly it's still by no...

Over 600 now iirc

If you're up to £2270 now, wouldn't have been easier to buy one with FSH etc? It'll still be a nightmare to shift on in future with history..

Where's the gear shifter from?!

Just put the registration / some photos up.

Got any mates in the trade? Probably cheaper to find a corner in a garage somewhere and give em £100 to keep an eye on it!
