Right, so my Clio 172 Cup cut out a few times today. Every time it did, it was at idle and the engine was warmed up to operating temperature; it would drop to a very low idle (noticeably less than 1k rpm) and then cut out. It didn't do it while the engine was cold or while I was so much as...

Right, so, did a quick keyword search and didn't find what I was after. It could be that my search-fu is weak, but that being what it is I figured I'd go ahead and ask: I have a Clio 172 Cup. Had a crash a year and a half ago. The pretensioners on the driver's side fired, and when I plug my...

So, my 172 Cup. Started misfiring but only does it when the engine's up to temperature. Replaced the lambda sensor as it'd needed it for a while. Replaced the spark plugs. Checked the injectors. Replaced the HT leads. Replaced the coil pack (twice). Put it into a garage to see if they...

So long story short I need to remove the driver's door from my 172 Cup and I've got to the pins and removed the clips but the pins aren't budging. Is this common? Is there a trick to it or a particular tool that makes it easier? Do I just need to find a way to hit the pins harder? So far I've...

Right, so. My track car, a Clio 172 Cup, has stopped responding to throttle input. In addition, it's started idling a little high- about 1900 RPM- and quite rough. I've checked the pedal box, and that works. I've checked the throttle body, and that works. I've checked the wiring, and while I...

I'm building a 172 Cup into a track car. My main priority is gonna be suspension and brake setup to start with (though I am easily distracted by shiny things) but I have no idea where to start. My goal is, obviously, improved handling. I plan to do most of the work myself; I've worked on...

What's the best place to look for replacement stock bits for a 172 Cup? I'm looking for brake discs and pads, shocks and springs just now. None of it's urgent, but I like to start doing my research early. On a not entirely related note, what's the most cost-effective route to go down if I'm...

I would like to replace my engine undertray (I don't really need to, but it's got some damage on it and I'd like to). Since they seem to get damaged or thrown away a lot I'm not holding out much hope of finding an intact one second hand on here, but I would like to know if there is any real...

Having checked a few threads on here there seems to have been a little- not much, but a little- confusion over the years but the general consensus seems to be that the Ph2 172 Cup's windscreen is the same as a standard base-model no-electronics-or-electrics Clio 1.2's windscreen and is not...

I'm looking to replace my engine and gearbox mounts as soon as possible, but the problem is I have no idea which ones to get. I mean, I've done a bit of looking online and I think there are essentially three mounts I need? I think? I just have no idea who is reputable, which parts will last...

My current place of work is in an industrial unit on a farm. One of the actual farmer types has seen fit to hide a chunk of a steel gate with a couple of vertical nubs on it in the long grass next to the access road, with the net upshot that when pulling over to let a truck past just now I lost...

Heh, just looking at all the other people who've posted very similar topics- nothing changes under the Sun I suppose, and this is no different. I bought a 172 Cup from a friend of mine who was/is a member here in April, and he recommended this place as somewhere to get good advice on...
