I have access to decent plastic 3D printing and high accuracy 3d laser scanning equipment, and I've recently done a few bits for car interiors, where the originals have broken, so it's been glued and then scanned. Made me wonder if there are any interior bits on the clios that anyone thinks are...

Had a D type in at work today and we couldn't resist getting some pictures before bringing the Jag inside.

Hi, got a right swine of an issue with my 172 cup. It doesn't get used too often, was driving along the motorway and every now and then it would lose a cylinder, which would then come back. This progressed to full on running on two, with 2 and 3 not getting spark. Replaced coil, leads and plugs...

Hi all, I have just finished writing my final year dissertation after taking a break from work to finish my university degree. My employer suggested that I should investigate the effects of adding dimples to the internal surface of an intake port in order to determine if it is beneficial to...

Good evening, I am looking for a place to buy the spring clips that hold the brake pipes in place on the clio. These are the clips that hold the lines in place. When you undo the hardline fitting to put braided lines, there are 4 on the back and 2 on the front. They look like a U with rounded...

Hi, I work as a CAD Engineer at a reverse engineering company Crosthwaite and Gardiner (as proof of competence, we've all seen some suspicious suspension components). I am looking to produce some cup racer style uniball holders, matching the original geometry of a 1*2 ball joint. This will...

Hi, I am competing in the Wethersfield Targa rally this weekend, and noticed the entry list has a couple of clios. Are the entries anyone from here?

Hi, after doing my wheel bearings, I am left with a press I don't have too much use for. If anyone wants front/rear wheel bearings pressing in contact me, as I'm looking to cover the cost of my press, or at least justify having it set up in my garage. Cheers!

I have spotted the above clio RS's on my commute over the past few days, and wondering whose they are! Silver 182 (lowered) with bucket seats in and around Crowborough, we often wave in passing, I am in the 172 Cup! White 200 in Snodland Shell garage, with roll cage, very nice car indeed! We...

Hi, I'm wanting to rebuild my gearbox in a couple of months, but as my car is going to be used predominantly on rallies I want to upgrade from the current box to something better. Ideally I would go sequential, but I don't think I can afford it (not found someone selling one yet) so I am...

Hi, most race cars seem to have plenty of buttons around the steering wheel for controlling various functions, and I want the same on my rally car, but can't find them anywhere. In case my description was completely off, the cup racer here has the exact product I want: If anyone knows where I...

Hi, I need to replace my front wheel bearing on my 172 cup, and a look on euro car parts is telling me there are two sizes (40ID 84OD or 37ID 72OD). K-tec has different categories for 182 Cups and everything else, but it doesn't say which is larger. Renault parts direct has different bearings...

Hi, just wanted to know if anyone else out there is using the above tyre for road use? I was recommended to use them for autosolo use, as tyres have cannot be in the MSA list A tyre exclusion (so no 888's or other semi slicks). I recently used them in a 12 car rally, and through some of the...

Hi, I am building my clio to road rally spec, and the regulations state that I can't run aftermarket Xenon headlights, but that I can run OE headlights from a later model. Hence I want to put the Xenon lights some 182's have on my 172 Cup, but haven't been able to find them new for less than...

I wrote on here a while back to introduce myself, and have now bought a clio 172 cup, as the title suggests. So far I am very pleased with it, and plan on slowly building a rally car from it, hence I don't mind the few problems mine has. As always, the steering wheel is well and truly trashed...

Hi, I have recently saved up enough to buy what will be my second car, and as the title suggests, I fancy a 172 Cup. I have read about a lot of people having pleasant experiences with them, and can't wait to get behind the wheel of one. My plan is to compete in road 12 car rallies and targa...
