    Odd rear calipers

    I could be wrong though. One of them has definately been replaced and one seems original on the ph1 When I fitted one of each the handbrake seemed to have a bit more slack on the flat lever

    Dont think so, my ph1 has both the rounded bars like the left type When I replaced both calipers on the cup from dingbro I annoyingly got one of each type

    Think you've pretty much nailed it to the uniroyal rainsports with your suggestions

    What is this part called and where can i get a new one from or an 'improved' part?

    Thats the air intake feed to the airbox. Better replacing it with similar ducting as the original item has become quite expensive, one on ebay last week for £130!

    EPAS Conversion question

    Eliminates chances of fluid leaks which is a big plus point when it comes to track days and motorsport Frees up space in engine bay and allows subframe to be dropped without the worry of hoses restricting you For me it was the ease of maintenance that made me go for epas Resistance can be...

    Clio 182 - Injector resistance

    If the misfire is currently present then easiest way is to unplug each injector to see if it has any effect on the engine, if no change then theres your faulty one

    Quickjack lift

    Surely the whole idea is to do away with jacking each corner individually and not to do away with axle stands? Costco have these in stock for around £700, cant remember if thats with or without vat If you have the space and paying £1200+ I woukd be going for a proper scissor lift

    clio 182 starting issues, any help please

    Have you access to a volt meter? Check battery voltage when engine is running, should see 13 odd volts if alternator is charging correctly If you want to eliminate a bad earth, take a jump lead from negative terminal to a solid point such as engine lifting hook or similar. Does sound as if its...

    Gearbox Rebuild Scotland- Any info

    There is someone out Turriff way but think its an older guy, just seen him mentioned on forums before. Not the best to get hold of apparently Think most gearbox builds up this way end up getting sent away. Will you be removing box yourself or having a garage carry out the work?

    Bye bye Elf, hello castrol

    Castrol fairly seem to have the market now when it comes to oem. Must be a big loss for elf as they seemes to have dropped out of the spotlight apart from the renaultsport world

    The New Clio Cup Car...

    Towing car capacities and driving to races

    Older discovery like you say or a shogun sport, problem is finding a good looked after one that isnt going to cost you the earth on repairs. Audi / skoda estates also and avoid the 4x4 running costs. Depends how often the tow car would be used? Is it completely out the question to drive to...

    Bolts for mounting jon foz subframes

    Just going by comments from MSA Scrutineers at events when they have asked competitors to change For the inner anchor point use an eye bolt and a spreader plate mounted below the car Outer point, use the bolt and threaded hole that was used for the lower seatbelt mount and a Schroth B23A eyelet...

    Bolts for mounting jon foz subframes

    It isn't advised to bolt harnesses to a subframe, I know it is done by others. Its preferable to have the seatbelt anchor point seperate from the subframe. In the unfortunate event anything happens to the subframe bolts, least your not going with it. Also best to use penny washers for the cap...

    Lower inlet removal

    Dont need to touch the aux tensioner. Fairly straight forward, few hidden bolts at the left hand side round about the engine mount area. Just make sure you've got them all before trying to pry it off

    What is this part?

    Looks to be full pedal assembly including the brake servo and master cylinder. Havent seen one removed before so cant comment if it is definately a ph2 172 item. It is upside down in the photo though 😂

    Trickle charger

    Not sure if such a thing exists? Could get a solar panel charger for the one outside and have a mains one inside? I use a ctek one myself, just use it every so often to top up the battery as I run an isolator so there isnt a constant drain on it

    The Holy Grail all round set up

    Gaz seem to be a popular choice among the many clios I have raced alongside in the scottish sprint and hillclimb championship I ended up going KW as a set came up for sale 2nd hand, before that I was tempted with BC racing coilovers

    The Holy Grail all round set up

    Cup lower arms will give you some more caster, although I think Renault have now defaulted to all lower arms now being cup spec whereas before they used to have two different part numbers

    Engine flush products?

    Im sure if they were as harmful or useless as everyone makes them out to be then nobody would use them and companies would collapse as quick as an unflushed engine :ROFLMAO: Probably wasted £10 a year on worse things

    Suspension for Road Going Sprint / Hillclimb

    New proposals to the tyres is causing some confusion and needs cleared up. If going with any eu marked tyre then does this render the tyre lists pointless. Be interesting to see the outcome of all this, will be clear as mud as usual and down to everyones interpretion

    Suspension for Road Going Sprint / Hillclimb

    Sorry cant help on that one Just seen on facebook that all changes were scrapped due to the volume of emails they received but I wouldn't take that as gospel! Big thing was they were relaxing the original block rule in modified class which then introduces engine swaps into that class. Alot of...
