Re: White Trackday 172 Project 47mm

Re: White Trackday 172 Project I think the hardest part about swapping over to updated bushes is getting the old ones out. 2 long bolts where the bushes are, 2 bolts for the balljoint and 1 for the outer ARB bush gets it off. If you know a metal fabrication company or know a mate that welds...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project I can measure it tonight, it's machined to the same diameter as the hole in the suspension turret

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Sorry, i don't understand what you're asking for

You WILL get your drive in it lol

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Certainly is getting there :) yes the battery will be relocated in the back but for now just so we can get it running and out on track for setting up we're leaving it in the OE position. There's enough bits and pieces that require our time and attention so it's...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project A few updates with pics. While the engine was out i thought it would be such a shame to drop it back in with the original alternator setup using an Air Con pump still in situ but not actually having any air con in the Clio. I thought i'd look into the infamous...

It is an option as i have the blue shell with the phs 2 sender in it. I thought it might have been easier to swap the rails over than sort the fuel lines that are under the car

Cheers Fred, I'll source a phase 1 fuel rail

Can the later fuel rail be modified to run like the phase 1 setup which has the FPR in the rail? If so what would I have to do? Thanks

I've bought new brackets that hold the ABS lines from Renault which bolt to the front dampers. The problem the parts department have is finding the part number for the Torx screw that holds this bracket to the damper. Has anyone bought these and have the part number on an invoice they could...

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** I wonder how much my Clio is worth, not thought about selling but for agreed value etc? How do you put a value on your own car. Clio 172 shell Clio Cup rollcage Mk2 dashtop Cobra Monaco S seats 4 point Sabelt harnesses OMP steering wheel K Tec carbon bonnet...

Seems like it's going full circle, Renault had it right 20 years ago with the R5 running a 1.4 engine with a nice little T2 turbocharger :)

I'm swapping most of the parts from the Y reg blue Clio 172 into the X reg white Clio 172. I assumed that as they were both phase 1 models there wouldn't be any difference to any of the parts or setups. So far it's been the case until we noticed that the X reg has both fuel and fuel return and...

So, to convert my 'later' F4R to run a true phase 1 fuel setup that's already in place in the white shell I can fit a phase 1 fuel injector rail with the FPR in the rail?

Blue is Y reg, White is X reg I'd have to swap the fuel senders over and fuel lines to gofrom the old blue shell as I'm using the engine from the blue shell. Or change the fuel rail to run 1 with an FPR

Ok, the X reg shell runs the fuel in and return which I believe to be correct and used the FPR. The Y reg phase 1 shell only has the fuel in and no FPR in the injector rail. Is it just a case of me fitting an injector rail with an FPR then running the pipe to the inlet or is there more to it...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Thanks :) I was going to call that hose the chrispy.clio heater matrix delete hose :D

Re: White Trackday 172 Project I think the 3 full days will be spread over the next 3 weeks! The next step is engine in on the mounts, cup alternator setup on the block first. Then the engine loom has to be modified to run the battery in the back of the car, ECU will stay in the bay. Engine...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project A few minor updates, We're getting closer to to the finishing line, another 3 full working days could see it fire into life and hopefully the main parts done. It's the small details and jobs i'm working on in between my friend coming over to keep it going, i...

I'm liking that idea :D i've been reading some threads about the cost of new PAS lines from Renault, kerching. I'm fitting a new cambelt this weekend while the engine is out, hopefully the Cup alternator parts will be with me by next Wednesday so i can get that on as well :)

Sorted, found a complete cup setup but apparently the PAS pipe is different between the cup and 172. Can anyone tell me which 1 I need please

My bonnet arm is also riveted to the underside of my K Tec carbon bonnet. It also has the threaded holes cast into the bonnet so it can be used on the original hinges and the bonnet catch from the original bonnet fitted

Aah right, i'll make some calls tomorrow then. Alternator new from Renault is £99 plus VAT but i should get 15% discount on that Thanks again :cool:

Thanks for the super quick reply Jay! That's brilliant news, been speaking to the parts guy at Renault to get part numbers and prices and it seems worthwhile to purchase it all new

The engine is out of my phase 1 Clio 172 and i'm looking into losing the AC pump and fitting genuine Renault Cup parts. The question i have is that the Cup model is the phase 2 and uses the CB1 engine, the phase 1 engine i have uses the C0 engine. Does this make a difference? Does the phase 1...

Re: clio track car just brought it any ideas???? Looks the part :cool: is this Cit-Rens old car... If i remember reading about it, it can't go on the road?

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Popped down to our local scrapyard Saturday for a few bits and pieces, on the lookout for a cigarette lighter 12V feed and a dashtop from a later Mk2 Clio (02-05). While i was there i spotted a silver 172 so i took some plastic parts from the inner arches. Mk2...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project So, with Wills and Kate tying the knot this gives me the day off to put a bit more in. Time to get those seats in. Subframes bolted to the seats 25mm spacers Seats now in, Sabelt harnesses in place, also fitted the OMP steering wheel too
