Has anyone bought and used the Ktec aftermarket lower arms for 172?
I want to do a suspension refresh on my cup but don’t want to fit polybushes to the current arms.
I’m just a skeptical of ordering because knowing Ktec they won’t turn up!
Unless anyone knows somewhere else I can buy them...
I’m looking for opinions on where to go next with my low boost 182, today it’s done the gearbox again (was rebuilt 2 years 5 track days ago) it’s built with a gripper diff, and I really don’t want to spend another £1k on it, plus the time pulling it out etc
So that leads me to the question...
Hi, needing some advise/help.
The other half has got a Megane 265 and for a while it’s had a weird rotational noise, long story short got it on a ramp and found the bearing support clamp bolt for the offside driveshaft had come loose.
Did that up, noise had gone happy days. But now a couple...
Hi everyone,
Did a track day in my 172 yesterday, was all going well until the second session when the car just electrically shut off and wouldn’t restart.
Plugged in the RSTuner and the only code I had stored was an engine speed sensor code (presume this is crank sensor) has anybody had such...
Now I’ve got you in with my ‘172 cup abs problem’ and you thinking but they don’t have it, mine does as @GrahamS retrofitted it.
So the last few track days I’ve done I’ve had an intermittent ABS light appear, ignition reset sorts it.
But it’s now grown into a bigger problem. On live data I...
I’ve bought another Clio, as having a cup turbo and 182 wasn’t enough.
I’ve fancied a 197 or 200 for a while but didn’t want to commit to selling one of the current ones to potentially find I didn’t like it.
A friend of mine actually bought a 197 a couple of weeks ago and once he told me I set...
Got my brake kit for sale.

My old AEM FIC 8 for sale as I’ve now gone gen 90. Message me if you’re interested we can sort something out.
So unfortunately my 172 Turbo died yesterday and at present I’m stumped as to why it won’t restart. I’ll start with the story that got me to this point!
So yesterday I took the car to the Sunday scramble, drove there in the morning no issues at all. When I got there I turned off the car then...
Been meaning to start a thread for the 182 for a while.
While in the previous lockdown my dad had the bright idea that he should buy a 182 and a turbo’d one at that. He found this car on eBay, bought it unsighted and had it delivered to his house.
The plan for him buying it was that we could do...
So today on my 172 changed the oil and then gave it gentle drive down the road (still on unmapped group n timing) came back and it died, and wouldn’t restart.
I found the fuel pump fuse blown, and it blows as soon as the ignition is on (would be priming) I’ve ruled out the wiring and the relay...
So I’ve been messing about with the Clio wiring and it all runs etc I haven’t cut anything out just been tidying it up.
Now the climate control screen will come on with the ignition on, and all functions work, but as soon as you crank and start the car the screen goes off and doesn’t come back...
Hi, so I thought I’d document my journey with my 172 into track car/possibly race car. A little bit of background about me this is actually my 4th 172 and 7th clio having had 2x 172 cups 2x172 1x 182 and 2x 1.2’s.
Day job I’m a technician for Porsche which is fun to say the least.
So back in...
Hi guys, just looking for some advice, so I’ve got the caged/msv bolt in cage in my car (safety devices cage will happen later in year).
I’m just wondering if anyone has got any ideas on how to fit a lap belt of a harness (the one to the outside of the car sat in a seat) while having this cage...
Hi guys,
This may be a long one. Long story short I’ve pulled the engine out of my 172 for a rebuild it’ll be going on track and I’ve been there before with crap engines that go bang, so this time I’m doing it properly.
The car will also be used on the road still but won’t be a daily so...
Morning guys
so I took the engine out my 172 yesterday to do a few a bits but noticed that the exhaust manifold moves around a lot on the joint to the down pipe. It’s got all the correct fitting kit on it and it’s tight.
it hasn’t been blowing since I owned the car but have had an...
Had this weird noise at the rear on my 172 for about a week now, so today I decided to Jack it up. No play in wheel bearings and everything looks tight, but if you put the handbrake on and rock the nearside rear wheel as if it was rotating I hear the knock I’ve been hearing. I’m stumped as to...
Got to work this morning turned the car off like normal and was greeted to a knocking noise. I’m thinking maybe engine/gearbox mount? It doesn’t knock under driving or heavy acceleration just when I turn the car off! Anyone experienced this before?
Cheers!
My 182 has a strange issue and I can’t seem to pinpoint what the cause of it is. Ever since I’ve owned it it’s always used abit of coolant but nothing excessive.
But recently it’s started spitting coolant out the header tank, but the temp gauge never moves, no steam out the back or mixing of...
Now I'm not usually very good at stuff like this but thought it would be good for me to track my progress of how the car is coming along.
My 182 was my daily for a year then it came off the road and sat in my garage. Then I decided I needed a track car to go alongside my race car. It's...
Do these tyres fit and clear suspension on the 16's?
I know it would be better to run 15's on track but I have a good surplus supply of these in 16 inch fitment.
Cheers
Hi everyone.
Used to be a member 3 years when I had a 172 Cup, done lots of things since but I'm now back and the proud owner of a FF 182 in titanium silver bought off rickwood on here. Loving being back in a Clio again!
Cheers Ollie.
Hi everyone,
I owned a couple of 172 cups 3-4 years ago kw03lgg and sc53odu if they are still about?
Anyway I sold up, done a few things since and now might be coming to the 'scene'.
Will be looking for a nice clean FF 182 this time though.
Anyway just wanted to hi,
Cheers Ollie
