My 172 Cup has done this since I got it - figured it must be a dodgy earth somewhere or something :( Does it more often when it's wet

That looks hard as nails! Top work!

Yeah I just want to round the other corner off too make it look a bit more factory - but I can't get to it I think i'll be able to when the shocks are out though so I'll have a go then :)

Been a while since I've done an update so here goes... I've had the clio now for nearly 18 months I bought it lowered on Eibach springs (-20mm) with a K-tec racing full stainless stealth exhaust I've done nothing to it really except fit Vibratechnic engine mounts, Recaro leather front seats, a...

Oh by the way - is the glove box still useable with the safety devices cage?

Hahahaha ok mate I'll watch out - Might be a bit more fun for me then - I've still got roof lining in !!!

Absolute legend thanks for that mate Got a flap wheel for the drill and got an angle grinder - so I now know what my bank holiday weekend is going to spent doing :D

If you could that would be awesome I'm gutting the interior out of mine today and want to try to remove any brackets and smooth them over before I spray all the interior matt black :)

Awesome build so far - same cage I'm after Am I right in thinking you've managed to remove the brackets the rear seats clip to? Around the rear suspension turrets? I've been trying to find out if that's possible for ages

I dunno how you've managed that! I've got Eibach Sportlines on my cup with standard shock absorbers and it's hard! It's a more harsh ride than the billstein shockers and springs I had on my 106 Sportlines are definitely not all show - been round the ring and done a load of track days and I...

Mines shot - failed the MOT on the bulb gone but when I took it apart it was full of water and rust Cheap crap design :(

Cheers dude - sorry didn't reply to your text - was driving :) Hope you like your new wheels

Cheers guys Yeah Classicsheepflavour never seems to just roll of the tongue lol The car is a brilliant example - it seems to have endless power I know what people are saying about 106's too - you have to ring the neck of them all the time to get power The clio seems a lot more effortless Oh...

Since I've had the car a year now I thought I'd better get a bit of a progress blog up The car was owned by Sir_Dave and another lad on here (sorry if you're reading - forgot your username :() - and I picked it up January last year It's high mileage but has been thoroughly loved all it's...

I've been raving about these for years - since I first had them on my 106 GTi In the past 2 years I've had conti sports because I felt they handled a little bit better in the dry - but yesterday I got some 2118's fitted with 205/50/15 Uniroyal Rainsports and the grip is insane I'm nearly...

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession Whiteline ARB is the best thing I've fitted to my 172 cup.. transforms the car did you get around to fitting the center caps yet? I got some 2118's yesterday and seeing that rear cap through the middle of the wheel is already annoying me lol

I really hope people on here are wrong - I read the 205/50's are the perfect tyre for 2118s on a cup And i'm collecting mine today *eek*

The stub axel doesn't seem bent - the disc/bearing slid off fine and the new one went on fine And the wheel definitely isn't 23mm further in at the front - it looks visually nearly the same as the drivers one Is there any points I could measure to see what's bent? :(

Earlier this year before I went to FCS I went to get the car tracked and the guy put the front tracking gear on the back and told me my rear passenger wheel was showing 3 degrees of toe in (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?518623-Swapping-a-beam&highlight=stub+axel) He also...

I want to move my battery into the boot Stumbled upon this photo Where can I get a bracket like that? All the ones I can find are for the race batteries rather than a full size one

Pete speaks sense - 55-250mm is a nice beginners zoom lens The 70-200mm f4L is mind blowingly sharp - but It's £600. I'd start with the 55-250 and see how you get on And yes EVERYONE who owns a canon should own a nifty fifty at some point

Agreed - more tyre on the road and a bit of kerb-protection LOL Glen at Revolution has spoken to speedline and we've gone with ET43 It might put the rear tyres a bit close to the shockers but I'd rather have to put some 3mm spacers in than get some wheels that stick out too far and rub :)

Oh... hrmmmmm

Actually never mind as I just stumbled upon this thread -> http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?218423-2118-s-Fitted-With-full-Photoshoot They're ET43 and look **** on - so I'll stick to them :D Close thread if you want

I've put a deposit down today on some new 2118's in 15" I've ordered 205/50/15 tyres as I wanted a bit more rubber on the tarmac I just realised when I got home though that speedline do ET38 and ET43 in the white 2118's Which ones do I want? Presumably ET38 to be close to the cup...

Just do them up to FT (f**king tight)

cheers guys

Just had my MOT Among other things it's failed cos he said the clip has dissapeared that secures the CV boot (the large one) Is this a case of stainless steel cable tie or jubilee clip? Or do I need to buy a new cv boot to get a new clip? Thanks

Yeah I've got like 3 spare if anyone needs one? Not sure I'm going now as after being there for Trax it's a s**t venue for photos/spectating - everything is the other side of a bloody 8ft high metal fence It was better at donnington!

Why would a tyre shop know the size of a spigot ring? Just take one of your wheels off and measure the hub ;)
