Really good to see someone doing this as I need to do the same with mine!

Hahaha thanks. I’m very lucky to have it! It does mean I make stupid purchases like this though as it’s all a little bit easier 😅

Had a productive day looking round the cup. First of all, I through a battery on it, cranked it over with the coil unplugged to get some oil pressure, plugged that back in and it fired straight up! So that’s a little win, I will do a compression on it before I pull it out but apart from...

Might need lots of work, but I’m so happy to own another cup!

She arrived this afternoon to the unit, flat tyres, still crusty but looks good in pictures! Always good when the recovery driver turns up and says ‘why have you bought this piece of s**t for’ cheers then 😂 I’ll get it on axle stands tomorrow, get the sill covers off and give it a good poke...

Here we are again, another Clio purchased, my 14th if I remember correctly, and my 5th 172 cup. A little back story, I commented in the 172 cup thread about possibly getting another as out of all the Clio sports I’ve had, a standard 172 cup imo is the best there is. A day or so later I got a...

Don’t need to tax it when it spends 363 days a year in the garage

What’s a sabelt Renaultsport seat out of a mk3 cup car worth?

Message me some details mate, think I’d like another before they’re all gone.

As ant said if you can keep it for another day do so, if not or not bothered stick it up for sale.

Guess it’s one of those, they will go up in value but probably less so if it needs x amount spending on it to bring it up to a standard, and in a humid garage it’ll just rot to nothing anyway. I’d love a standard cup again, shouldn’t have sold the last one I had, out of all the clios I’ve had a...

That’s the trouble with Clio’s and cups especially, you always want another!

As long as it’s locked at TDC, pull the pin for the crank, leave cams locked and have the cam pulleys loose you can spin it over no problem.

I’ve built 3 or 4 F4R’s and timed them up using aftermarket tools. All made good power on the dyno and all still running.

Just watched it twice, looks insane. Need buy a ps5 now

No problem at all, and they look great now, exactly what they needed.

It’s going to be a last minute decision whether I can come or not, but if I do I can bring my RS tuner and code airbag lights out

That’s a watch for when I get to work 😎

Think that’ll make more than we think, not many on that mileage and unmodified.

It’s not a daily so a bit impracticality I can deal with, would be nice to take it to work very occasionally but thats a 110 mile round trip. Looks like I’ll have 2 gripper boxes for sale soon then 😅

Good point, it hadn’t even crossed my mind that a quaife was an option! I’ve used my grippers on the road, they’re not too bad but definitely can’t push on like you could with a standard car, especially on the roads near me!

I’m in a little predicament where I can’t decide what to do. Sandwich plate came loose on my 182 turbo last week on a track day, dumped all the oil and seized the engine. Now this isn’t an issue per se as I wanted to put my n/a setup back in it. It may go back to turbocharged one day as it was...

Yeah we sold it to Dawn. Definitely a unicorn car worth keeping!

Haven’t seen that in a while, my dad owned it in around 2016 I think it was.

I’ve got my ex 172 cup race car shell that will be available in the next month or so if you wanted a proper project. It’s not rolling but will come with: Subframe Lower arms Rear beam Body panels Windows She’s had a life but with some work could go back on the road, V5 is present.

@182Trev

There’s a thread on here somewhere where someone weighed them. 170kg iirc

Yeah over to the left and up, tighten the rod up and it’s all good. Done both of mine like that over the years. And make sure the gearbox is in reverse also.

I used a bunjee cord to hold it over in reverse and tighten underneath, never had an issue doing it that way

What tyres would people recommend for a low boost 182? Just an occasional drive on the road, I’ve got ar1’s for track days.
