I've got 7" ones in my Cup, but they are fixed headrests. Width wise they are ok but only just deep enough. Daz

i know it was ages ago, but i've only just got it back. I was getting my engine rebuilt after spinning a conrod bearing and destroying the crank! Its going back son to have the itbs, omex, cams all fine tuned

It was my Cup (C172 CUP) Cheers Daz

Don't buy them.......only buy branded stuff, HC disks are very good for the money, get decent pads. i got some grooved ones off ebay with greenstuff pads and they are the worst brakes i've ever known. the worn out standard stuff was better! I'm getting either HC disks or max disks with mintex...

Saw you at GDI on saturday, It's Daz. (172 cup)

Toyo Proxies T1R all the way. loads cheaper, grip is awesome, treadwear is better than F1's Go to mytyres.com Daz

I'd love one, but i also love a standard looking car with hidden 'talent'.......

But how do you get round the dashboard? Speedo, rev counter etc?

just wondering if it can be done. what else am i going to spend my spare time on? lol Just fancy having a go to sort it properly, then i might be able to help other owners with warning lights after tuning................

either leave it or put tape over bulb(led) or put standard cat back on. these are the only solutions to your problem Daz

I know i can take the leds out but i'm just going to run with this theory: The ecu is a computer running a program. the program knows something is not right and so tells the dash to put a light on. surely there must be a way to alter the program so that it doesn't put the light on on a fault...

i Like it, thats cool...........:lolup:

i forgot to mention the 12.6:1 pistons, forged rods, gasflowed head and it's at GDI being tuned. lol but i can't be asked in taking the god damn dash board out again, it a pain! and besides there isn't a lot left that hasn't been taken apart recently, lol Daz

Hi ya, just finished my ITB and cams upgrade with an omex ecu. Because the standard ecu is hardly connected anymore i have the warning lights on on the dash. (limp mode and emmissions) Now i know these lights are on a databus from the ecu and the only way i can see of turning them off is by...

Not always! some clio's light will go out with this method, mine comes on occasionally with a sportcat fitted! some you can disconnect the lambda and that works, but mine didn't! what the ecu 'looks' for is a difference between the 2 lambdas and also that the second one is in a 'safe zone' to...

That's ok, just hope someone can benefit from my mistake of thinking i had a bargain! not. Daz

you only need standard stuff on the back, and renault pads i've found are the best on the back, anything else don't get hot enough! as for the front get the best you can afford. when i had my valver i didn't need back brakes cos i had black diamond grooved and mintex on the front and if i braked...

Don't touch discs off ebay..............ive got some on my cup and they are poor to say the least. i'm a quarter through the pads and the discs are nearly worn out! they are cheap pattern standard discs that someone has got a cnc machine to them! they lock up worse than standard ones, fade...

I know, i can't read Its blue aint it? lol

scrub that, i should learn to read more carefully monaco not mondial duh

deffo drop the bonnet, cos i've got dents too to prove it!

I've driven a 197 and it was alright, bit like a golf GTI. not the same feedback as my 172 cup, but the new cup may be different..................

Cv's tick on full lock if it's the outer cv. both sides have 2. have you checked the bottom ball joint? jack up car so wheel is inch or so off ground and get a crowbar or similar and lift the wheel up and at the same time look for play in the joint. try that and let us know. Daz

Ok, i'd appriciate it if you could. As far as i can see the return pipe goes to the filler pipe

2 pipes go up to the tank but only 1 on top. what about venting the tank?

What do you do with the end from the tank then?

Hi there, I'm in the process of fitting cams, bodies, omex etc, just wondering what do i do with the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Valve? I understand what it does, vent fuel tank fumes to the inlet under certain conditions, but what do i do with it running bodies? i don't think...

Yes the ball joint is inside the gaitor........however to replace it you need a special renault tool to hold the internals of the rack and if you were to twist the rack internals it will wreck £400 worth of steering rack. choice is yours, that's why i took mine to renault!!!

It's the connecting rod between the track rod end and the steering rack. It's another known fault with clio's, cost me £80 i think to have new track rod end and this connecting bar done at renault. If you jack up the car put on full lock so you have access to the suspect side, reach along...
