172 Cup. They had no aircon, ABS or traction control. Slightly more camber on the rear, some added caster on the front wishbones and came with a basic interior. Obviously demand a slightly higher premium for good condition examples though if you were on a tight budget

Teng also do a nice ratchet screwdriver along the same lines as a snap on one if you dont want the price tag. This Bahco 1/4 socket set is great, use it for alot of jobs whether interior, engine bay or bodywork fixings. Coupled with the Teng screwdriver its even better

Iv got a plastic storage tub for spares, some fluids, fuses etc. Also got impact gun, Bahco 1/2drive socket set, jack and screwdriver set Then Iv a Plano tool bag with spanners, and pliers, small drivers, prybars, allen keys etc in all the side pockets so its well organised. I made it up for...

What sports cat is best to go for? Doesnt seem to be much on offer for them. My cat rattles like hell at times, and needs to be there for road going class in sprints and hills

Is there any small crimps that can be utilised in place of the standard plug? I suspect a dodgy connection within the plug as when adjusting it I could hear the engine go under load when alternator did start charging but couldnt get it to maintain a charge. I have a spare loom but would rather...

That'll be the standard class. It is fairly strict and loses some of the fun. They would have been better tightening the belt on road going class a bit rather than a new class that allows no modifications at all

Are you not allowed 1b tyres also for your class?

Yeah thats possible, as your rear plate on the car wont be visible anyway. Depends if its stuck or screwed on to your car for how much hassle it is haha. Also if you depend towing more in future be worth getting one made

Looks like it has the spring clips on the no plate holder, just slots in. Bottom edge in first, push down on the spring then push in and release so the plates clamped. Really simple ones

Got quite a few pics, heres some below

Best thing to do is get some practice like you said to get a feel for the trailer and reversing. Easy to read up on but not taking the turn off quick enough soon has things going slightly off course. Key is to not rush, just stop and maybe draw forward / readjust and go again. As long as your...

Is snappy no longer on the go here? Iv just bought a 1.2 as a runaround and the wheel is buggered as usual and was needing a refurb. See his name come up alot, mainly in old posts in for sale section

You can modify the ball joint bolt hole to give more castor, theres a thread on here on it. Titled got castor yo. Cup wishbones have more castor than standard wishbones, on a 172 anyway. Unsure of the 182 specs

The confusion for me just now is with regards to the circled part below. It mentions regulations for standard cars, and then goes on to mention road going series production cars, which for myself and Calum is currently A2 (up to 2000cc) and has quite a wide range of modifications permitted and...

Reading it a bit more in depth now, I just looked for tyre lists first then started realising all the rest of the changes!

https://www.msauk.org/assets/rulechangesseptember2016.pdf If Iv read correctly, its now List 1A tyres only for sprints & hillclimbs in road going class? I may have picked it up wrong

What tyres would folk like to see moved into 1B? I only started this year so hasnt effected me as much as it has others. Had heard that boys werent getting the same times with 888's this year as they were last year (unsure what tyres they were on last year but wasnt 888's)

Few run the maxxsport's in my class in the scottish series, seem to get good results All the rest run 888's, Iv got R1R's as I was keeping costs low this year and already had two. They'll become my wet tyre once I upgrade to a stickier tyre. 2Wonder if there will be any changes for next year...

Trailered for me but still kept road legal for the sprint / hillclimb class I compete in. Trailer it for the same reasons as others above. Can also make some cash on the side with the trailer aswell if you own one and have a tow vehicle

I did consider that option, of using the Schroth B23A attachments and that bolt for the seat subframe but seen a few people advise against using the same mounting points incase anything was to happen to the seat. That was my backup plan and thought Id give it a go with the spreader plates and a...

Fitting harness spreader plates today for the inside lap belt point, both lined up and marked trying to fit them in as best as possible. Problem is, the surface below isnt flush for mounting them on. Didnt want to trim the plate down at first but I gave it a go to see if it helped and it sits...

Not on a clio, but the Clio will be on the trailer :laughing: Looking to replace some lights on my ifor williams car transporter for LED items, mainly the rear lamps and number plate lamps. Side markers I was planning doing at a later date. Id read on a few sites that running LED and normal...

I am about to fit my seats and harness's into my phase 1 clio. I have done some research into this, and have a few questions. Going by guidelines, using the rear lower seat belt points creates too small an angle going by diagrams. I have seen talk of using the top mount on the top, where the...

Looking for any renault techs / someone thats had experience with Renault Koleos Car started and cut out and then failed to start last Monday, and showed injection fault on the dash. Had sat for 2 days, unmoved in frosty weather. Pumped fuel primer bulb a few times and started fine and has been...

Had read a lot of people use them and feed back in via cigarette lighter. Problem is I'll be trying to store the car inside as much as possible (granted it did spend most its time outside this year but that was till I got some space cleared that I could use and leave it without being in someones...

There is power, but being on a farm in a shed Im a bit wary of leaving a battery connected and a constant power supply connected up just incase. Will throw a charger on it every wee while when Im around to keep on top of it. And definately no bear strength here when tightening battery terminals...

On both cars its been the negative earth clamp that has been poor, fully tightened up and it can still be rotated easily and probably pulled off if enough force is applied

Iv used them on paint for years. Ordered some from a local detailing supplier and the cloths he supplied / uses are the exact same pile thickness as the Costco ones. Granted you do get thicker ones but theres nothing wrong with the smaller, less plush ones. I find them a lot easier to work with...

The neg terminal is a rubbish fit anyway, I found that before on a dci clio aswell. Is it a common thing or odd sized terminals?

Having a trawl around and seems that this is the ideal solution that Im looking for. Anyone used them? Seem to get good reviews, simple and effective http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0019ULCPW/?tag=cliospnet01-21 Would use it without the fusible link as no need for radio memory or to leave the...
