Hi guys, Fitting brembos on my 172 today running 280 discs. The caliper has been machined to fit 15” wheels. I have 15” team dynamic e40 (1.2 15x7.0 e40 4x100 60.1 B53) . Tried to fit the wheel on without spacers and it was a no go as the brembo is hitting the wheel. Tried adding a 10mm spacer...

Thanks for the reply, is this a common issue ?

Looking for advice on a engine dynamics 172 low boost conversion, I seem to have an oil leak coming from the oil outlet of the t28 turbo, I have spent time, cleaning and monitoring the leak, the oil return pipe has had a constant flow of oil showing on the pipe so I am adamant it's the seal on...

It’s me again

Great.. would love to see the footage. I was in the blue 172 clio with the Clio cup decals

I was there with my 172 cup.. what a great day we had

i need to get my 172 half cage powder coated in black. Can anyone recommend someone around high Wycombe (Buckinghamshire) who offers this service? I have had a quote for £100 but that seemed expensive after hearing of far cheaper prices on this forum.

Thank you for the reply, I have just today ordered a half cage so should be with me in 2 week, I may however do your technique as a temporary measure. Can you confirm the eye bolt sizes required and do you have any pictures of the left side of the seat mounting you talk about?

Any ideas

So where do I fit them to?

Hi Guys, Looking to fit a set of Luke 4 Point harnesses, is there any good photos showing the exact positioning to fit the anchors on a 172 Cup or a guide? I am running corbeau club sport seats on a XL low frame. I assume I need to drill the holes and not weld, I also received the plates from...

Sorry for the delay, here are the rear BC Springs in Situ....PLEASE NOTE I AM USING THE HEIGHT ADJUSTER FROM THE BILSTEIN B14 KIT FOR THE REAR.

Thanks Matt, that is really useful, does anyone have any links to the subframe? Is there any images as I have no clue what a spreader plate is for the harnesses....

Hi Guys, Looking for advise as I need to buy some bucket seats for my track 172 Cup. I am interested in either the cobra monaco seats or the sparco sprint. Is there a guide online showing the installation of these seats in a 172? I am sure it is dead easy but what I need to know is what parts...

Yes I believe so from speaking to KAM but he explained it messes up the rear damping setup which is why the height should be adjusted via the spring

Here is a video showing the BC racing kit in action on track.. they are a night and day difference compared to the bilstein b14 however I do think the b14 as a road setup are awesome! You should get a sense of how neutral the car is, also running a pms arb on hard setting. It took me about 6...

Best to buy the bilstein b14 height adjuster for the rear springs... KAM STRICTLY said don't touch the rear shock to adjust the height

I should I should be able to send some photos tomorrow - I used the adjustable mounts of my Bilstein B14's on the springs so its not a standard setup

Managed to fix it, when I fitted the damper the knob is not installed, what happened is when I installed it I must have managed to get dirt inside the bore, I tried spraying wd40 in the hole when in situ, didn't work so I had to take the damper off the car to enable me to turn it upside down to...

Update - everything is fitted bar one of the rear adjustment knobs.. one side fitted spot on, you could feel it locating correctly and it clicks as it should.. the other side it feels like something is protruding so it is not allowing the locating to occur.. what could cause this.. so dam...

The reason I ask is when the garage who did the last height change set it up when I measured the arch to wheel height it came out as 11cm front and 10cm rear - the guy who set it up was experienced in race car setups, the rake looked good I.e. Pointing down forwards

I assume the 10ml to 15ml is measured based on the front and rear sill height to make sure the rake is correct or am I basing this on the arch to wheel measurements ?

Also I have a pms arb currently running on the hardest setting - is this ok with the bc's? When on track I am on it pushing like crazy

And this is good for pure track use the settings, I have 1.2 15" alloys on order but initially I will be using 16" turinius with sticky tyres, from 16" to 15" will I have to change the full setup again?

That would be great to see

Also what firmness setting on track are most going for and any geo recommendation for track focuss?

Yeah it was the rear I am talking about, I understand the front end. I will go for the larger spacer at the rear, just to confirm the spacer goes on the bottom of the spring?

Thats what I was thinking, is this an issue, do you know what the height is as standard?

Quick update, I have just received my new BC racing DR kit with 9kg front and 8kg rear springs after the advise I received from this thread so thanks for that, the kit looks great, the only concern is the rear height adjustment, I was under the impression the kit was fully adjustable at the rear...

hi guys, When I got my Clio a couple of weeks ago PAS Fluid was leaking out the PAS bottle cap, it looked like it had been overfilled so I drained some of the fluid. Also noticed the pipe underneath the bottle looked like it was leaking PAS fluid but just thought it was leaking down from the...
