Just in case the new owner of this joins up. I enquired about this one on ebay recently and was told the belts were last done in 2008 so they currently sit 2 years over due. Dephaser hasn't been done either. Work done at Renault was due to a starting fault. Hope it didn't go boom on the way home!

That forth mount is a good addition Dan. Pics in my thread somewhere. I don't actually see the benefit of unplugging the EGR valve if it's working; it just makes it throw a light and run rougher when cold. Inner and outer ARB bushes/links are a few quid and make slow traffic a quieter...

I see no problem there. My outer arb bracket snapped and it effected tracking but everything is intact on yours. Inner bushes look a little worn but they are a PITA to replace so only do them if they're giving you grief.

12mm. No need to replace the tie rod if there's no play in it. Get your tracking done once the track rod end has been replaced though and put copper slip on the thread to prevent seizing in the future.

Spring mount/rubber? I have no idea but I've never seem them on a sport before.

You get leaves blowing in your eyes otherwise! Cars's looking clean Martin, shiny as always.

Thank you!! Cheers mate. Nah, these ARBs do sit a touch lower than the other ones but they sit quite close to the wheel so don't ever catch anything. Has made the car a lot nicer. I bought a 172 cup for some fun http://www.cliosport.net/threads/grahams-summer-172-cup-track-car.768675/ lots to...

Here's the link to the group buy thread. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/ebay-rear-half-cage-group-buy.768702/ Of course discussion on fitting and photos can stay here :)

Nah it would just tell you it's a cat D at the date. An insurer can do a MIAFTR check to find the area of damage but it is usually filled out very poorly if at all. Best way to find out is to find out the insurance company which wrote it off and do your best to get an engineers report. My job...

@FLOBALOB so it does! If you do find them matey I'll give you something for them. Lots of plans for this car ;)

Ohhh that sucks big time. I've just been through the thread so to find that is a true downer! Hope you were all okay.

I think that's what he's really doing with the postage. The cage sells on ebay for £130 and then he re-invoices you if you want to have the extra bars (I guess this doesn't effect final value fee he's charged) I'll talk to him on Monday and see what the crack is. Will do my best chaps. Yes! I...

Cheers Dean. I've got some sport lines on my dci at the moment so will probably swap the struts over when I go on a track day. Will do the same with the rear ARB to keep the costs down. Solid Mounts are something I forgot about but noticed it's had a pair on at somepoint so that reduces the...

FINALLY! I've seriously missed having a car with speed since I broke my 182 in December 2013 and having built up a little bit of money over summer I decided it was time to take the plunge and get something for the track. I was looking for a 182 or 172 cup and after posting a wanted add @FLOBALOB...

Thanks @StuOwen86 I found this site really helpful http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?168862-Roll-cage-installation-guide-illustrated-to-help-with-MSA-compliance am I right in thinking the spreader plates are only on one side of the car or do they act like a clamp and go both sides of the...

Booked any brands sessions for the summer yet mate? I just got a 172 cup to take on track this year so would be good to see you up there.

I've just dropped him a line about the cages asking for group buy prices on getting five and 10 people together. Also asked about making larger spreader plates and how much extra that would be. Will let everyone know and keep it updated.

exactly the replies I was after. Thanks for the pictures @StuOwen86 that looks good and fixed pretty good. Does it come with bolts to fix it in or when you made up some spreader plates did you have to use extended ones? @withoutabix 150+postage for rear cross and harness bar. I might give him a...

Don't buy a cat D which is relatively new. It's taken a proper bashing to be a D at that age. Unless it's engine damage that wrote it off it's not worth the risk and you'll find it almost impossible to sell without feeling like you're getting robbed.

Maybe we should get a group buy going. Cheers @@Josh, I've never done a cage so all new at the moment!

Yeah that's really what I'm thinking about, whether it's going to help or is it going to bust. I'm not after a show cage, just want to have somewhere to mount harnesses and protect as much as possible if the unfortunate did occur. @Fraser.J. do you have experience with one of these :) tell me...

So car has now been purchased. Before I do anything I want to get a cage. I'm not going full cage because the cost is just vast. I've been eyeing these up for years now and just wondered if anyone had any experience with them. How easy are these to fit, quality, weight? At under £200 it looks...

This might help you mate http://www.cliosport.net/threads/recommend-a-1-2-cordless-impact-gun-sub-%C2%A3100.765609/ I never got one in the end because of funding other bits and pieces.

Thanks for all the answers chaps. Got an arb that I can swap over from the DCI. Tuition is definitely top of the list now. For under £100 it's pretty clear which mods people would choose! Will drop most of them onto the car over the coming months and have some chill thrills along the way.

Will have to get some tuition. Last time I was on a track was in 2013 and when I posted a video up I think we mentioned tuition; so long ago though! I don't mind spending money on things really worth the while but wanted to create a thread for people getting started into track days on the cheap...

In my eyes yes. Coupled with other mods to free up the engine its a great addition. I always use this vid of my old car as my benchmark. Had flywheel, apexi filter, 98 Ron map and epas/ac, ps delete The guy who had my old 182 called up ttv to see if they would sell it to indirect but was told...

I knew I'd forgotten to mention one of my plans!! Agree but that's more than £100 ;) I'm a student!! Any idea on rough rates matey? I've never really considered that :)

Hoping to get a track car soon. Thought this would be the place to post but also for people to get ideas from in the future. I want to do track days as cheap as possible and do a few mods to make a car better. By cheap I mean less than £100 Enlighten me on what's good these days. I haven't had...

Hi paul. I'm not quite from your area but rensevenoaks may be a good shout.
