I had been offered some discount on parts before for stickers on the car (Easy one to negoiate) but for the small amount saved I would rather leave some panel space for bigger sponsors. No fiberglass, just getting the inside done in grey when the guts are cut out. We need a group buy going for...

No difference mate unless they have been changed previously.

I know ;) It would be Brands, Donington then Oulton if they would open the GP circuit more.

Well finally some progress has been made, interior stripped out tonight with all the panels off. I managed to get my first bit of sponsorship so the interior is getting done in graphite grey (Honda colour) in return for some stickers on the car and paint at cost price. That will be done in...

Ill try but my first race up here is pencilled in for June/July realistically. Doesn't really lend itself to Clio's tbh but you need big gonads to be commited around there. Donnington,Brands and Oulton would be my preferred choices in that order. 130,140mph tail out....hhhhhmmm I'm out...

Ill never be ready for February. Cars just getting painted.

Mans circuit that.

Looks good that, I spent a day removing 1 standard seat rail/ floor stiffener and positioning and welding in another 2 seat rails by myself. I feel your pain!!!

Burpspeed run 182 arms iirc and have the extra caster so seems right.

Replace it, is not goin to change unless something else is hit. Your steering alignment is probably out unless it was aligned with the bend in it.

Where can I buy these red bolts? :)

So from what you have said there are at least 3 lengths of shaft, be it one piece or 2 piece. Was the 182 shaft you compared to the 172 cup shaft one or 2 piece Chip? Was there one piece shafts fitted to any 182's?

I inserted the wrong picture in above post. This is 172 inner track rods against cup. http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb357/mark12314/clio_project/P1010151.jpg Stupid iPad this thread is good. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?659166-172-cup-track-rod-ends/page2

Yup I agree with that as Cupman fitted a 2 piece shaft to his 172 cup to allow room for an oil drain and has had no issues. Iirc the 2 piece shaft was only fitted to 182's so they are longer than 172 non cups and fit fine on 172 cups because the Cup has a bigger track width comparable to the...

There are longer driveshafts for different cars, for a start there needs to be longer shafts as the two piece design shaft has to travel further than a one piece shaft that's simple and Fred has said many times you need the correct shafts as he has tried different variations and had problems. As...

Exactly what I said above Phil but........ Re-read what I have said, it's a bit hazy in above post. IMO there are only 2 types of hub. Ones that were fitted to all 172's (small bearing) and ones that were fitted to all 182's (big bearing). The hubs have different hole spacings as well but that...

The difference with what Phil wanted to do is he was looking to swap from 172 cup to 182 cup iirc, so they are widest track of the 1*2's to begin with against you ff182. Like i said in another thread, you should be okay with the swap that you have done.....but there are different steering arms...

Sorry but that's wrong. Steering arms and shafts are longer on a 172 cup, they have the subframe drilled different so need to be. Wishbones are drilled different but are no longer. In your case you should have no problems as I think there are only two types of hub. Hubs for 172's and hubs for...

This is awesome, perfect colour for these cars. Any more progress?

Danke schöen

Not quite but that could be said for rear pads. Between engine vibration with race mounts and general abuse it will get when raced, it wouldn't be the first belt I've had come of with that design, fiesta did it monthly. Difference with the Clio is it could be tattles for the engine or race over.

Lol, I'm just being safe as poss. I have that setup I have pictured, flanged serrated nuts FTW then.

Yeah I would run a set for what you need having run golds on my mk1 Xr2, good looking kit too.

What's his name Daniel, that search returns me to this thread lol. Chip, I already have a genuine cup setup that I'm getting rid of for more room and fitting a cup racer job, would like a little back up...

Cheers, I have similar design for mine but would like an adjustment rod incase the bolt comes loose. Retro fit the Cup threaded tensioner??

I can see this ^^^^^^from short time I have been on CS. I've noticed Gaz get a hard time on here for some reason( Good stuff in the Ford world & IME) Ford is possibly the most modified brand in the UK in years gone so there is a lot of experience compared to the Clio. I think the issue is...

Does that have a threaded rod for tensioning Daniel?

Quick tickle with emery on the journals and some JB weld on the cam, job done lol. Journals do look ok though, is that a machined groove?
