Can the later fuel rail be modified to run like the phase 1 setup which has the FPR in the rail? If so what would I have to do? Thanks

I've bought new brackets that hold the ABS lines from Renault which bolt to the front dampers. The problem the parts department have is finding the part number for the Torx screw that holds this bracket to the damper. Has anyone bought these and have the part number on an invoice they could...

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** I wonder how much my Clio is worth, not thought about selling but for agreed value etc? How do you put a value on your own car. Clio 172 shell Clio Cup rollcage Mk2 dashtop Cobra Monaco S seats 4 point Sabelt harnesses OMP steering wheel K Tec carbon bonnet...

Seems like it's going full circle, Renault had it right 20 years ago with the R5 running a 1.4 engine with a nice little T2 turbocharger :)

I'm swapping most of the parts from the Y reg blue Clio 172 into the X reg white Clio 172. I assumed that as they were both phase 1 models there wouldn't be any difference to any of the parts or setups. So far it's been the case until we noticed that the X reg has both fuel and fuel return and...

So, to convert my 'later' F4R to run a true phase 1 fuel setup that's already in place in the white shell I can fit a phase 1 fuel injector rail with the FPR in the rail?

Blue is Y reg, White is X reg I'd have to swap the fuel senders over and fuel lines to gofrom the old blue shell as I'm using the engine from the blue shell. Or change the fuel rail to run 1 with an FPR

Ok, the X reg shell runs the fuel in and return which I believe to be correct and used the FPR. The Y reg phase 1 shell only has the fuel in and no FPR in the injector rail. Is it just a case of me fitting an injector rail with an FPR then running the pipe to the inlet or is there more to it...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Thanks :) I was going to call that hose the chrispy.clio heater matrix delete hose :D

Re: White Trackday 172 Project I think the 3 full days will be spread over the next 3 weeks! The next step is engine in on the mounts, cup alternator setup on the block first. Then the engine loom has to be modified to run the battery in the back of the car, ECU will stay in the bay. Engine...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project A few minor updates, We're getting closer to to the finishing line, another 3 full working days could see it fire into life and hopefully the main parts done. It's the small details and jobs i'm working on in between my friend coming over to keep it going, i...

I'm liking that idea :D i've been reading some threads about the cost of new PAS lines from Renault, kerching. I'm fitting a new cambelt this weekend while the engine is out, hopefully the Cup alternator parts will be with me by next Wednesday so i can get that on as well :)

Sorted, found a complete cup setup but apparently the PAS pipe is different between the cup and 172. Can anyone tell me which 1 I need please

My bonnet arm is also riveted to the underside of my K Tec carbon bonnet. It also has the threaded holes cast into the bonnet so it can be used on the original hinges and the bonnet catch from the original bonnet fitted

Aah right, i'll make some calls tomorrow then. Alternator new from Renault is £99 plus VAT but i should get 15% discount on that Thanks again :cool:

Thanks for the super quick reply Jay! That's brilliant news, been speaking to the parts guy at Renault to get part numbers and prices and it seems worthwhile to purchase it all new

The engine is out of my phase 1 Clio 172 and i'm looking into losing the AC pump and fitting genuine Renault Cup parts. The question i have is that the Cup model is the phase 2 and uses the CB1 engine, the phase 1 engine i have uses the C0 engine. Does this make a difference? Does the phase 1...

Re: clio track car just brought it any ideas???? Looks the part :cool: is this Cit-Rens old car... If i remember reading about it, it can't go on the road?

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Popped down to our local scrapyard Saturday for a few bits and pieces, on the lookout for a cigarette lighter 12V feed and a dashtop from a later Mk2 Clio (02-05). While i was there i spotted a silver 172 so i took some plastic parts from the inner arches. Mk2...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project So, with Wills and Kate tying the knot this gives me the day off to put a bit more in. Time to get those seats in. Subframes bolted to the seats 25mm spacers Seats now in, Sabelt harnesses in place, also fitted the OMP steering wheel too

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Permanent Marker, good ol Staples :o

I was lucky with mine as i used the blue Clio interior as a guide to where everything plugs in. So we had the interior loom sitting in the white shell then labelled up what went where while cross referencing. TBH i'm not doing the loom/electrics, it's in the capable hands of a friend that is a...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project I had to modify the seat subframes to utilise the oe mounting points in the blue Clio as the subfames were for a Fiat Bravo. What i realised in the white shell is the floorpan is different to acommodate bucket seat sidemounts. So the seat subframs i modified now...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project A few bits been done since the last update so here we are with pics Shell is cleaned, the blue Clio is off the road, SORN so time to take exterior parts of the blue and ontohe white Phase 2 rear lights Plastic side trim Headlight Cup racer replica...

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Sleeves were tacked in after that pic Engine plans, nothing exciting yet. I have a set of matched inlets to go on and decat. I already have the K Tec stealth exhaust.

I'm 36 in July and have been in Clio 172 ownership for almost 3 years now, i've been into hot hatches since passing my driving test in 1996 and at this moment in time have no intentions of driving anything different. I too owned 5 GT turbos for years in my late 20s early 30s but found the 172...

RE: Heater matrix delete pipe, that 180 degree pipe 19mm ID, would that fit on the OE heater matrix pipes ok? I'm doing exactly the same in my engine bay. Did you buy it from 'autoperformanceonline' from E Bay ;) Massive props to you on this project, attention to detail is awesome

I've just bought the Konigsports from europerformance for £654 inc delivery

Hehe yeah it was a ball of wires inside and nothing on the outside! Next weekend I hope to lift the engine out to give it a paint up ready for its cambelt and other belt changes

Yeah I'd like to copy the passenger side to have the same on mine. Its something I'll have done in a few months time
