The block used would also have to be one fitted to Clio in a normal production run, so either a 1400 clio block or indeed a sleeved down 2000cc block, wonder if you could just destroke with a change of crank as mentioned above. Rich

Right then bare with me while I give a quick explanation as why I would want to use a 1400cc bottom end a supercharge it in a 172. I currently run my Ph1 172 in the Midland Hillclimb Championship in Class A1 (Road Going Under 2000cc) Under the regulations you can fit a supercharger or turbo...

I've searched quite a few old threads but with no definitive answer. What's peoples opinions for the best Rear ARB? Whiteline, K-Tec, PMS any others? Cheers Rich

Cool cheers for the info

I have a Ph1 with none body coloured moldings and want to to change them for some Ph2 body coloured ones, I take it they are the same fitment? Also same with the door handles? Cheers Rich

I was looking at this too, Nick Skidmore has been know to involved in the odd Hillclimb lol http://www.cliosport.net/threads/nice-high-spec-dry-sump-172-182-engine-dta-ecu-stack-dash-looms-and-spares.772795/ Rich

I'm afraid it wouldn't have a prayer in A2 class with the 600bhp 4WD machines. I'm over 4 seconds slower up Shesley Walsh in my Clio than in my Cossie and my PB is just under another 3 seconds off the Class Record. The Clio needs to stay in A1, if I can stay best of the rest after the Elise's...

Cheers for that insightful piece of information Dave West is rather rapid in his 106 GTi, I'll be up against him an Loton Park in 2 weeks. What are the costs like on LSD's and a Short CWP? I had to drop down into 1st for Pardon at Prescott which I don't really want to be doing need to be in...

A quick introduction for the previous 3 seasons I have competed in the Midland Hillclimb Championship in my 3 Door Sierra Cosworth but due to the engine lunching itself on the rollers 3 weeks before the season opener at Prescott I need an cheapish replacement so I bought a Flame Red 1999 172...

Yes mate Pardon, such a hard corner to get right and I completely balls it up on my last run. Rich

And here's a couple on track, same corner taken from different sides: Rich

Here's a photo of it from Prescott Hillclimb from the weekend: Rich

I'm toying with the idea of curcuit racing my 172 when I finished using it for Hillclimbing. I could just never bring myself to curcuit race the Cossie. Rich

Cool hopefully see you there mate Rich

Yes I bought it off a fella on here "SxDaN" First time I drove a 172 was on the test drive and have to say I was pleasantly suprised at how well it drove. Hi mate, are you going to pop to Prescott for the season opener? Rich

I'm on holiday at the moment, so here are some photos shamelessly taken from the For Sale ad on here: Rich

Hi Guys and Gals Just thought I'd introduce myself. I currently race in the Midland Hillclimb Championship and my usual car is 3 Door Sierra Cosworth unfortunatley 3 weeks before the start of the season on the rolling road it span a shell pretty much devasting the bottom end. No time or indeed...
