    Better straight line speed?

    Gen90 will be the route I'll take as it's just a case of plug it into the original loom. No splicing, no faffing and hey presto, you've got yourself a very capable ecu. Only downside is the initial outlay IMO.

    I'll offer my 172/182 breather plate up and see how many holes line up as per dan's reply and let you know mate.

    Roof scoops, what are people using?

    No worries mate! Lol, that's fair enough! It's each to their own isn't it! I've used this without the grommets in place in rain, and with the internal vents closed off it allowed a negligible amount of water in. In fact, I was behind a truck on the motorway and it was kicking up plenty of spray...

    Track day suspension (KW V2s?)

    I run kw v2's on my cup phil and tbh they're a excellent bit of kit. Mine see's road and track abuse, but even on full hard at the rear they were to soft on track............so I got them revalved and got a set of stiffer rear springs made! Job done! Works extremely well now on track and still...

    rear cup brakes

    The vosa advisories should come up on the testers list along with the info regarding the bonnet catches failing. There is no valid reason why all mot testers should not be aware of this particular issue now.

    Roof scoops, what are people using?

    Here you go. Not the best of pictures, but you get the idea! Untitled by NorthloopCup, on Flickr Untitled by NorthloopCup, on Flickr I used a step drill to create the holes and used grommets to fill them in. The idea behind this was to be able to completely close the vent off during...

The roof vent itself works REALLY well!! It is by far THE...

    Current coilover kits - spring rates!

    They're variant 2's mate. I run different spring rates with revalved dampers now anyway. God knows what they calculate into with nm. I only deal in lb/ft! Lol

    Current coilover kits - spring rates!

    Kw's are 330lb fronts and around 220lb rears. Rears are progressive as well, but fronts are linear.

    Lol! No one will know until they get beaten and start crying about being beaten! That's when the fun starts and they look closely at your car for eligibility.

    Kenny's Kup

    And the majority of that cost comes because of the s**t way Renault designed the jc5 diff unfortunately. My straight cut synchro vauxhall box cost £2600 incl diff, gear kit and rebuild items as a comparison!! It helps that I can build/rebuild the gearboxes myself though.

    New valve guides with new valves?

    These engines have colisibro guides as standard mate, so any replacement will add another £200 ish on to your price. If the originals have only done 64k I'm not sure I'd bother tbh. Unless the original valves have been bent at some point in it's life of course, as the guide will have sustained...

    which exhaust-suggestions please

    I run a btb stealth on my cup bill and it's excellent! In a fully stripped out Clio there is hardly any noise issues to contend with from the exhaust. It doesn't drone on motorway journeys, and the best bit is that you don't attract the attention of the law when your giving it some! Lol! I...

    Looking for a Decent Socket Set

    Snap on do blue point sets (cheaper version of snap on tools) which are excellent vfm. I have 3 sets, a 1/4,3/8 and a 1/2 for working on my car and they're covered under snap ons lifetime warranty to. I use snap on at work though! No comparison!

    My other car has a straight cut gearbox! Sounds awesome! Even better at triple figures! Lol! Ear plugs are a must! Especially if you like the sound of your own voice or wearing your underpants on the outside.........

    my suspension/geo set up

    The 1 written on your sheet probably means 1 millimetre. If you had 1 degree of toe out/in you would definitely know about mate!! Lol! Thanks for the comments about my car as well btw.

    Roof scoop recommendation?

    I run with a 197 cup car roof vent. Cost about £225 from r-sport. Absolutely awesome bit of kit with the directional nozzles for the air. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?619576-FF-Racing-s-182-Racecar-Now-it-really-won-t-get-much-better-than-this-)/page95 You can see mine in...

    my suspension/geo set up

    I run on kw v2's with ast top mounts and have 2.5 degrees camber at the front and 2 degrees camber at the rear. I have the top mounts set for maximum castor. I run around 5-10 minutes toe out at the front (depends on time of year as it gives the steering a twitchy feeling) for good turn in...

    Compensator valve issue

    They should have a spring on them to return them to the up position. When the brakes are applied, the piston inside moves to reduce the pressure to the rear brakes. It should always return though, so it's possibly seizing up. Mines fixed in the shut position for maximum rear brake effort.

    custom lowering springs?

    Coilsprings at Sheffield will do you some. Ignore the shite on their website though. They do proper stuff, the website caters for the retards/chavs in the world. They make springs for a lot a the big suspension company's in the uk as well.

    Clio 172 phase 1 turbo

    I have a 172 head adapted to accept a 197 inlet manifold. It's not just a simple case of re-drilling the head to accept the manifold either. There's a lot of reshaping to do on the inlet ports as well. Read that as s**t loads!
