Got something that vaguely resembles something that's similar to how it's done on a standard Valver, a nice simple oil breather from the rocker cover to the airbox Bit of bodgefuckery with rape tape to test if my existing fan will actually fit, thankfully it does and doesn't get hit by the...

Got the finished radiator back today to start fitting it properly Minimal bodging needed for the bottom rad hose, just a joiner and a 90 degree hose A look at how snug the fit is after getting happy with an angle grinder on the subframe. A job for later will be getting it welded up to...

Done a bit of cardboard aided design & some gentle massaging with an angle grinder to facilitate the radiator that's going in Got my hands on the radiator today. It's not finished yet, I just needed it to test my C.A.D skills and mark it up for where the fittings will need to go. It...

Had some stuff done to the bonnet & did a test fit today. It's almost spot on, just needs a bit more fettling as it's catching on 1 little part of the fuel rail

Not sure what to expect power wise now tbh 🤷‍♂️ I was hoping to see close to a genuine 250bhp with the bigger itb's and EGT sensors in the exhaust manifold but I've been told that the injectors in the airbox combined with the variable trumpets in it will help gain even more power so it's...

In the effort to resolve the above mentioned space issues, I got my hands on a pov spec bonnet to use for marking up to work out exactly where to cut so it clears the airbox before chopping up the carbon bonnet I've sent the bonnet away to be fettled with and close up the hole whilst...

Bit of an update: Finally got the itb's back When deciding what to do about what trumpets to use, I found out that the airbox from the bike the bodies came from was quite fancy. It has a motor in it that adjusts the length of the trumpets so I don't need to compromise on trumpet length to...

My personal preference is PS3 or Avon ZV7 and whichever is available in the size I want and the cheapest between them, sometimes the PS3's have been the cheaper option. I've used both on my 172 Cup in 195 45 and there's zero performance difference between them from my experience

Where the hell are you finding a genuine Valeo clutch for that price?

Valeo is the OEM for the clutch

As it's a lower spec Mk1 it probably doesn't have the reserve tank that's part of the filler neck so will have about 10 litres less capacity than the ones with the reserve tank so I'd say your consumption is about right. The most I usually got from my Valvers that had the extra tank was about...

There's 2 different shape wing mirrors on Mk1's depending on the age, the smaller type are phase 1 & from 90-93 and the other bigger shape is phase 2 from 94 onwards. If you want electric ones you'll need to see if the doors have the wiring in place for them otherwise it's going to be quite...

I'm preparing to fit engine number 3 to it so lets just leave it at that :ROFLMAO:

Be glad you didn't, I got mine just under 5 years ago and it has been the bane of my life costing me a fortune 😫😤

Will be the D shaped inner arb bushes that are worn from reading that

It's just the wishbones that make it wider and they are a direct fit to your car. You will also need the anti-roll bar, driveshafts and the correct shock absorbers or camber correction bolts

No he's just a nonce that's a fraudulent enthusiast

That's a good shout with the van for the roof liner, all the pov spec non sunroof cars I looked at had 3 seatbelts in the back with the middle 1 bolted to the roof so have the extra holes for the bolts in them which the Cup doesn't have

I think you might be getting mixed up with the 182 Cup/Trophy interior as they used seats/cloth pattern from lower spec Clio's AFAIK the interior on the 172 Cup is exclusive to just them - the roof liner certainly is - and I've looked at a lot of cars in scrapyards to see if anything lower spec...

You've made sure it's not a fluid problem so next to do is a strip down, clean & regrease of all the calipers, the rear sliders do like to seize up for fun so that's the most likely cause of the discs being like they are

You can't go wrong with a Piper system tbh, I've got 1 on my 172 Cup and it's very good quality

I think there's quite a bit of variation in comfort on them. I only say that as my only experiences of Trendlines were in my Accord Type R, I liked them a lot, but quite a few people said to me they were shocked that they felt much more comfy & more supportive than the ones that were in the 182...

Just to give it a bump as I've found the answer, they're Recaro SP-J Black Raptor seats...

OK maybe not 🤦‍♂️ Seems they're Recaro SP-J Black Raptor seats...

Mystery solved, some deep googling found a thread on here 😂 https://cliosport.net/threads/recaro-trendline-replicas.813382/

I can say for certain that they're deffo not from a Mk4 Astra GSi. I've read that the Mk5 Astra 888 had Trendlines as an optional extra but they're part leather with the 888 logo in them and the suede insert in various colours that matched the car. There's another Mk4 Astra that has some similar...

As above, Mat Brown is the man you need to speak to, this is his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100054627511109

Sounds like it's just the tyres causing it tbh, proper semi slicks are actually wider & slightly different shape to the same size road tyres so they tend to exaggerate the shitty road imperfections and camber a lot more As for the brakes, RC6's are phenomenal, don't waste time or money on fancy...

A big obvious difference is the back seats, there is only 2 seatbelts in a 172 Cup, all other Mk2 Clio's have 3 seatbelts with the middle 1 being attached at the roof

In the past, the problem with those has been that the bearings are usually cheap s**t that don't last at all and was cheaper in the long run to just buy genuine Renault items, just not sure if the same logic can be applied now that Renault items are even more expensive Need to be careful with...
