old thread, same prob for me ; I bought the "stretchy" universal boots to replace the oem ones. the CV-joint needs cleaning , can this be done using brake-cleaner or is/will this be too harsch a method ? How to clean ?

Forget the smoothening of the square... V6 box mounted like this; i've tried a lot of things down the induction route but this is a winner!! costs were a laugh too

^^ i misread/misunderstood..:( How did you "fix" your cv joints ? I was thinking these could be fixed without having to buy the whole shaft from Renault.. just now i realised the Ford part you got was only the boot/rubber ! I just got myself some universal ones.. nothing special about...

cool. going to give this a trie me thinks, will make some calls to see who's selling

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=486377 was looking for it myself

Throttlebodies set up by someone who knows.. I love my cammed RS; so this must be even better (gearbox/driveshafts have put me off the SC idea)

not possible, sounds like just the parts without the labour ?

sorry, no partno.

not anymore ?

Yeah, price blew me away last week too. The shaft will be complete with CV (CV cannot be ordered separately) , so you'll be a goodun the next 1,5 years ;) (RS reputation; eating+ spitting out driveshafts)

Beside the weight ; one more belt ALWAYS running along (even when disengaged) = loss. yep. Also; if you live in the South of France, or Italy where these cars are sold frequently , i can understand the NEED for airco. C'mon, up here ??

they'll be fine m8, i'll be trying these too someday. Just teasing after you saying money's no prob

wait a minute.. money is no object hmm Then you shall have the best : Genuine Group N mounts, costing around 1100 pounds all round. I will envy you http://www.gg-motorsport.homepage.t-online.de/catalog/index.php?cPath=95_61_81

the oilman ; opieoils Motul 300V ; nice

thanks guys

good Question ! The 172 supposably has a HUGE amount of cooling fluid running round , therefore not so sensitive to quick overheat at stoplights/traffic. I was wondering the same once because i have NEVER had my rad-vent come on at the lights/ in traffic

okay, a brand name to go by. I'll see about the availability over here. I was thinking about a grade of some kind; like a 85w90 oil for gearboxes / 5W40 for the engine . Cheers

! Grease lightning ! (bump) ?

couple of months ago i needed one, no prob at the dealer. Cost was 10 pounds, let's see if i still have the invoice laying around

Yep i was also told the bearings are prone to high wearing .. will feel nice and solid while they're okay though. I would'nt touch them on a daily driver

as above please :) ? Any typenumbers or just go to the autoshop and order CV-grease ? I was once visiting a guy here who runs two Cup racers and he was telling me about some kind of SUPERDUPER grease they use ? (as they're s**t got too hot frequently eating up shafts/cv's) haha , no i'm...

Have one of the guys you're mentioning drive it and they'll tell you if it's fooked or just not yet "loosened up"...

^^ Yeah, second that. why ?! ** ps; are you going manual ? *

There are 300 left hand driven "172Cups" driving around Europe; signend by the Legend Jean Ragnotti ; in the gloveboxcompartiment. Only difference to the Cup (obviously) is the left hand drive, signature, and the rear- windshieldwiper also not being there ! (for weightloss purposes )...

Mine's been whining since a couple of months, when on full throttle. Have'nt really trusted my gearbox these times. The last days some tick tick-ticking on full lock steering (in gear that is ) Seems to be driveshafts.. In 70K they have/will have been renewed twice ! :mad: They...

got a Porsche sitting there on the bridge in pic 3 ? Nice job with the exhaust. Did you think about the first flange , before cat ? That one seems also to be a smaller diameter
