Anybody know where I can buy some cylinder head locating dowels for a 172 engine? I’ve lost one and it definitely had 2 to start with. Cheers ollie

Added mine with greenlight no additional cost

I’ve just PM’d you lol I couldn’t see a definitive place to be fair was in a bit of a rush so will look again tomorrow.

Got the head off today and it’s all abit rusty inside! And evidence of k seal too. Should all be okay once I’m done with it. And found a nice big piece of sealant in the oil pickup which was nice.

Certainly nothing in the history that I’ve got saying it’s been done before. Although it does worry me that it’s got a 172 breather system on it even though it’s a 182, albeit it is one of the first! Exactly this, hoping my cause of low compression is the head gasket. Ideally I’d like to do a...

Cool, cheers for your help!

Cheers for the reply! I had to do the compression test stone cold so they may have come up a bit at operating temp. It’s certainly goes well this engine. Reckon I’ll change the gasket, is there any scope for refacing the head?

My 182 has a strange issue and I can’t seem to pinpoint what the cause of it is. Ever since I’ve owned it it’s always used abit of coolant but nothing excessive. But recently it’s started spitting coolant out the header tank, but the temp gauge never moves, no steam out the back or mixing of...

Looks like another great event. SC53ODU is a cup I used to own back in 2012, wish I hadn’t of sold it!

I’m going to have to bail unfortunately :( I’ve got to work as the person covering my Saturday no longer can which has screwed it royally.

Finally have some progress!! Picked the Clio up yesterday from having the cage fitted, it's the older RO17 safety devices full cage. Perfect for my needs! Also while there it was there I had some harness mounts welded in and flush aero catches fitted! Will have some more progress later on...

Just sent deposit across, cheers Ollie

I'd like to come along see what mine is making, way down on power I reckon!

I just use brake cleaner on my race car

Seen them as low as £13k and as high as £25-30k. I'd be checking for crash history, any major repairs etc make sure the parts are R-sport stamped and history of gearbox overhauls as they are expensive to have done.

Wheel bearing?

I'm worried I've got the wrong ones in mine now as I just bought some power flex ones. Think I'll swap them out for eibach ones before I venture onto track.

I like the phase 1 lights on it.

2004 182 82000 miles currently bought in January 16 with 71000. Will only be doing around 3k a year in it now.

Now I'm not usually very good at stuff like this but thought it would be good for me to track my progress of how the car is coming along. My 182 was my daily for a year then it came off the road and sat in my garage. Then I decided I needed a track car to go alongside my race car. It's...

Standard with cooksport springs. Basically I race an MG ZR in MG Trophy and our control tyre is the Dunlop so I've got a good supply of used but no way near worn out tyres in that size. Just want a little weekday track day fun with the Clio and if they fit that'll be good, if not I'll look into...

Do these tyres fit and clear suspension on the 16's? I know it would be better to run 15's on track but I have a good surplus supply of these in 16 inch fitment. Cheers

That's a ball ache lol cheers for the reply!

Sorry to hijack but are the cv joints knock off? Need to do both outer boots on mine

Ah cool, good to know! I hope the first one is still as clean as it was when I had it!!

Yep I have, they are both still taxed and MOT'd.

Just wondering if anybody owns or has owned my old 172 cups. SC53 ODU KW03 LGG Cheers

Hi everyone. Used to be a member 3 years when I had a 172 Cup, done lots of things since but I'm now back and the proud owner of a FF 182 in titanium silver bought off rickwood on here. Loving being back in a Clio again! Cheers Ollie.

cheers :) Also to add I'm testing a Gen 3 Clio cup car next weekend in view to doing the Clio Cup series in 2015 so I will add pics of the day. As I've been racing an MG for the last 2 years which was the reason I had to sell my 172's :(
