Got a pair of Cobra subframes today to fit my Daytonas but two lugs have been cut off, one per frame. They can be seen in the centre of the photo, unfortunately I didn't notice this when I looked and the seller didn't mention anything. Can anyone tell me if this is for the belt plug or the...

Re: Ph1 172 Cheers guys :) Yeah the Cooksport springs are spot on I picked up a mint pair of Cobra Daytonas today :) hoping to have the frames by the end of the week.

Mine seems to sit a couple of mm further out on the OS than the NS but doesn't affect the car. Everything is straight!

Go to an exhaust place. Then either replace it or weld in a bit of pipe.

Unless you get a cheap used set for the best price see here... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?693198-Matched-inlets-(both-parts)-£100

I've used ramair before with no problems.

Re: Ph1 172 I think I'll get them fitted when the new clips turn up :) Got rid of the horrible grille today and removed an old sticker off the bumper.

Have you got the printout of before and after the 4-2-1?

I'll get the PMS one then I think.

Tried my aircon yesterday and it was warmer than outside. Also the aircon radiator doesn't look the best which is a bit disappointing so I'm thinking of removing it all. There's a cup setup that Mitch is selling. The pure motorsport kit and another method of just replacing the compressor with...

Re: Ph1 172 The current silver side strips are a bit tatty so I bought some standard black ones to replace them with. Freshend them up with some Halfords bumper paint. Still a bit undecided between silver and black

Undo the 14mm nut and bolt where the arb connects to the droplink. Move it to the next hole in the arb. Tighten it back up :) 5 minute job which you can do without raising the car

I've also changed from 195 to 205 and found the 205 a huge improvement...

I'd happily hand over 10k for that. Shame it needs to go on the house instead.

Re: Ph1 172 Did a remap on it about 10 days ago. Definitely noticing the difference, a little more torque down low so it feels smoother all the way to the much higher redline. Got the Whiteline RARB on today. Back end feels a bit more planted. Its set to soft right now but I might set it to...

I got some plain black side strips for my Ph1 172 off here but I opened them up today and found they are different to my current ones. The top strip is one of my current ones and the bottom is what I've received. As you can see there's nothing to fix it to the car.... Also on one of them it...

The release bearing can differ can't it? 182 and later 172 ones are hydraulic and early are cable?

get the FK and use the rest of the money to get the alignment setup

Clean the threads above, raise them, clean the threads below and then all should be well again :)

Should be free, no? Maybe chancing it to see if you'd pay or not.

Short term over the next 18 months or so not very far as its a 2nd car my wife is using too. After that it depends on circumstances but maybe a dedicated track car. It would be nice to know how much can be saved on the aircon, seats, windows, sound deadening, tar pads, going to EPAS, etc. I...

I'm interested to know where and how much weight can be taken from a Ph1 172. Is there a thread knocking around or has it been documented at all?

Having driven a few cars with lightweight flywheels with standard clutches and paddle clutches and standard flywheels with standard and paddle clutches I'd say it was the clutch rather than the flywheel that makes it jerky

What clutch is that with?

Would this not cause over braking on the rear?

There's a lot worse cars out there if you think the Clio is expensive to maintain! Fords are generally cheap though :) The Mk1 Focus RS is much cheaper to maintain than a Clio RS.

So there's no 60-2 timing marks on there?

Is there any way of me finding out what ratios the JB3 196 gearbox has? I've got the gearbox guide and the .exe file knocking around but neither of them specify this box.

I've got the same issue on the passenger door. I'm undecided what to do as I was going to get a bit of bodywork sorted whether to get it touched up or just get another door.

I would have thought at that level it would be worth changing to the 197 inlet manifold.
