Cheers, hope to be out at start of the year or maybe this year depending on the weather we get.

Re: Road/Track 172 I like, pity you never got it started. Is that a phase 1 timing tool you have there, I thought you dont need the pulley locking tool on phase 2??

Aye me too, Id like the same sort of colour as yours, always liked cars with gun metal interior. Only thing that puts me off is cost, sprayers up here are shocking. Do you find your interior alright, white can be a bit blinding!

Nice work lads, looks the part. Id like to see that run on a standard car with breathing mods

Few more pics from today, nearly there.

Cheers, it's getting there cage wise, so much more work than I ever imagined.

That's what I thought when I first saw them but I have been told you will break the bottom ball joint bolts or bend the wishbone before you will the RCA pin, It is just basically a fancy bottom ball joint and you don't hear of many of them failing when in good condition. The pin is high tensile...

A few update pictures of the work I done yesterday on the cage. Still need to raise the rear cross onto the strut brace, fit door cross strengtheners, pick up the rear axle points, fit gussets to B pillars and front dash bar for A pillars. More pictures to follow tonight.

This should give you an idea of what I mean, I think northloopcup is also testing a similar design just now. Only other needed parts would be cup track rod ends and maybe track rods, im unsure if the track rod's differ throughout the 1*2 range but after fitting this setup to my car it looks...

Not the worst figures, what would you expect from your current spec with standard plenum from research you have done? Have you got more detailed pictures of the inlet with and without plenum chamber on, I'm guessing its detachable?

This is what I have got and will be using. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=200680431403&index=1&nav=SEARCH&nid=47328404648 Fit one to strut tower and then one next to battery then all you need is Mega fuses and I'd suggest getting one of these for a neat install...

This Easist way possible while using available parts just like cup racers hence why renault done so. A set of cup racer uniballs/holders, custom pins to fit in normal road hubs (50mm ish adjustment) with pinch bolts and a set of longer cup trackods, all bump steer etc near standard if not...

Me too, anything sorted on the group buy or costs??

I would just stick with what you've got tbh as it works, the later cars regulated pressure at the pump like you said. The only thing you would need Is a fuel rail, I'm sure the Jenvey one would fit standard inlet or the cup racers used a billet one like this...

I think the op is only wanting the shafts from whatever box to gain length and to fit them to his Clio jc5!

I can't tell you that without you going to look at it like I have said. Rear shockers typically would give more of a tendency to make the car wonder.

Yeah I was surprised aswell, was expecting the boot lid to weigh more. Spoiler is really heavy, at a guess I would say 3-4kg but will check if I remember.

No I very much doubt it. Its not going to help, top mounts usually just cause knocking depending on design. Im a mechanic to trade and could 99% say that your issue is shocker related, vagueness of steering, rough ride, suspension crashing, tramlining etc etc. Quick test for you push down on...

Lol im not chasing weight figures what so ever but if you can get lighter wheels, same wheels but lighter or lighter anything for that point and look the same perform the same function and cost the same, why wouldn't you at the end of the day were all into performance of our cars and its the...

Yeah Martijn said he used Scenic shafts on a mates car he converted to cup racer suspension. I got a scrapyard to measure some and there only a few mm longer if anything than my cup shafts so im hoping they might work if what Martijn says is right.

Yeah that's what I have. I think they are the longest 23 spline inside/outside shafts available from the Renault range.

I would just go for an-6 that's what I have for mine. I have seen an-8 and -10 used before. The only problem I think if you go too large would be if your fuel system was a return system as fitted to 172 phase 1's and the fuel pump might struggle to keep up. Im not sure what fuel system the...

I have done some research on Renault shafts as I need 20mm longer shafts each side to suit cup racer suspension setup. Scenic phase 1 (diesel or 2.0rt are best) was only shafts I could find with the 23 splines inside and outside to suit the clio hubs and jc5 box, they are supposed to be longer...

Yeah they did make reference to their car when I had phoned about other things. Will be a nice spec cup racer. I'll be on those wishbones like fleas to s**t when/if they come out.

Wishbones are p**n, I need to get my shafts lengthened as well. Is that a clio or just a pic for reference, looks to have a custom subframe aswell.

Yeah I get you, alright idea that. The pedal already has a nipple pressed on the cable at the bodys, they supplied a truneon that has a r-clip and grub screw to attach to the pedal and sent a spare grubbed nipple as well in case it comes of at the body side. Should be better but I will put a...

Nice project Andrew. Be nice to see how you get on retro fitting the st75. Do you need the subframe to fit it and can you fit the cup racer mounts to a road 172 cup? Also how did you profile the dash for the cage so good? trial and error lol

No progress pics yet, some pics of parts I have received today. Got my fiberglass boot and bonnet finally, really good quality and weigh nothing. For you Kenny Boot weighs 3.8kg and the bonnet 4.7kg. Im unsure of original panels weight, someone could confirm. And this lot from Jenvey FOC, cant...

Gave my racer 2118's a weigh today and I got 7.8kg so not far from you Pablo. 18.5kg with Toyo proxes race slick, not light!

Cheers P@blo im getting scales tomorrow to give mine a weigh
