Re: Road/Track 172 Nice car, that's exactly how mine should look inside, Im going for anthracite grey and got flocked dash top aswell. I've heard AST mounts are over complicated and have had issues but I don't have first hand experience. Pure Motorsport mounts and brace can be had for same...

I'll bare that in mind, I'm undecided just now, have you heard of anyone going to GMC Motorsport in Newton Stewart, he does a lot of 106's and saxo's etc and seems quite cheap for labour at £150 a day for some wiring jobs I was looking to get done.

I got these from a guy on hear luckily but these might be up for sale next week if your interested. They are Motorsport parts mind and are function over fit really.....some adjustment required.

I'm unsure yet, I'm waiting to hear back from omex with a company in Scotland that's good with French cars, otherwise I might travel down to see matt as he knows his onions. Can you suggest anyone?

Sorry about the formatting and the photography on that last post, no idea how to edit post. :o

Been a while since I got anything done, home from offshore now so should get some progress in the next week.<br><br>There was a few presents waiting for me on my return.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Steering wheel quick release with buttons for launch control &amp; eventually dash...

Renault still do them, £53 + vat each if I remember right.

I am also intersted as to how people have adjusted their bumpsteer on clio's. I am building a race car just now and I'm mocking up my cup racer setup which is different to road going but it appears with the racer setup the bumpsteer dosent seem to be much but can't be sure untill I put a gauge...

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Good stuff, be nice to see it in the flesh

Yeah I had a look, some are over complicated, that link you sent was good. I have be assured that the racer arms give more castor, the bushes are offset in the yokes, easy enough to do with any bushes/sphericals to get free castor in a limited adjustment setup. I'm unsure if they are any longer...

I'm no expert but I thought that would be more like the difference, from the lower pivot to the axis of the wheel. Thinking back on it, elongating holes on a subframe is a stupid idea to be honest, especially with slicks and the forces there will be. I will just get solid mounts made with...

Nice work there, bit easier on a 106 than the clio's. The ride height would have to be addressed in the Clio aswell, this has got me thinking, I don't need encouragment as I want to go away choping things now.

That's one of the better setup guides I have read. Im going to mock back up standard suspension and take measurements and try to transfer over to my setup but I'll have to find out if standard settings were anywhere near good tho. I'm trying to keep everything as much a home build as possible...

Kennys skills deserve props, lot of patience required there which isnt a strong point of mine. I'd love to cut away the strut tops also, they are no use for good adjustment of setup. Does intron top mounts require re -fabrication of the top mount aswell?

I have pure motorsport top mounts and camber will be adjusted with different size bolts on the strut mount, and castor will be increased but static with cup racer wishbones, I would have liked AST top mounts but they don't fit Renault sport bilsteins. Have you decided on new suspension, I see...

I aquired this setup from a contact at a very reasonabl price. Like Nick has said, its very expensive to buy complete kit new. Love your project by the way Ash. Most parts can be had at r-sport or tcr still have some parts left from running them. Im unsure of the spacing but from memory its...

Yeah one of the tightest cages I have seen. I was going to do that but i don't think I'll manage to get dash back in? I will just tie it to A and B pillars and fit harness bars and rear strut and axle pickups. QUOTE=jon_r;8828717]Lovely parts being used. I've got that cage in mine, it's a great...

I have found out that 182 shafts are a 2 piece design on drivers side which should be a small Improvment for torque steer. Did you get a chance to look at the cup racer manual, I think the subframes are just standard with modified engine mounts to sit engine lower and standard track rods. I...

Thanks for all the comments so far.

Yeah megane scenic was my thinking but it looks like there longer than the ff 172 but almost equal to cup so ill wait until i get box in for mock up and see what I have, with the lowered height, you gain a bit of length in the shafts as there isnt as much suspension travel so cup shafts may...
