Just wanted to share quite a proud moment for me! after years of building this thing! it finaly made a proper appearance in Time Attack Uk.
and managed a rather decent time! What are you times around Brands? afetr all i am #buildingthefastest. Factory-built Clio cup cars can get around quicker...
Just incase you missed it on Facebook :) I’ll leave it here. You know for the record.
Building the fastest standard engine (the one from MK2 clio) Clio in the country. By fastest I mean fastest lap times around UK tracks.
Finally got mapped! Stoked! 460 bhp/tonne. Now to learn how to drive it...
hi guys. i hope someone will find this useful.
yes OEM plastic gaiter is better. but they are hard to find. and in my opinion, good quality stretch boots hold just as well.

Hi Guys.
What series can I race in with sequential sadev box from x65 Clio cup?
Anything competitive will do! Last thing I wanna do is spend my daughters uni fund lol on the box and limit myself to Trackdays...
oh and I am boosted a little [emoji51] but that’s not a huge problem as can always...
Hi Guys. a sort of quick question. is that pipe that goes from the manifold to the booster has to specific diameter? the reason why i am asking i because i am trying to diagnose a weird brake issue i am having on my track car. basically after about 3-4 laps pushing hard. my brakes will start to...
Hi Guys.
i am having slight issues with my suspension. it just don't feel right.
almost feels like i have no feedback from the steering. it kinda wonders around in the straight line and while turning doesn't come back. constantly have to fight with it and correct it.
i am really not sure...
Hi Guys.
Here is my dilemma. I have 172ph2 inlet. With aftermarket cable throttle body. With DTA s60 ECU. What’s the best way to control my idle?
Solution 1, get ph1 idle valve, drill hole in the inlet, job done. ?
Solution 2? ....
any ideas are welcome.
Would something like this work...
Hi lads. Started on the loom today. Quick question, are the sensors one sides or not? Most have 2 wires like air temp, water temp, oil temp etc. They have a 5v/12v feed and signal to ecu. Does it mater what pin goes to what like and LED bulb? Or like a normal light bulb?

Hi guys. A bit of a weird one here. How do people lock their race cars?
Not looking for an obvious answer like “standard central locking” etc.
I mean on dedicated track/race cars with removed UCH, central locking etc.
I have no UCH left. So no central locking or alarm. But think it would be...
Hi Guys.
once UCH is removed, how do you control brake lights? i went with Cartek PDP for all the switches. and going with DTA S60 ECU.
i am a little puzzled, how do i wire brake lights? this may seem like a stupid question but i am kinda puzzled.
does brake light switch act as a normal...
Hi Lads

Hey guys.\
After having some minor imoboliser Setbacks haha been trying to convince myself that i DONT need standalone ECU and wiring and custom interior loom but my brain says one thing and heart goes the other way. or vise versa who cares. #BECAUSERACECAR
so been looking at kits to make my...
Hi Guys. Anyone local to Wembley with that software that is willing to scan my car for me? [emoji51]? obviously not for free. The car in a state so not transportable. Having immobiliser issues. Solid light staying on. Cranks for few seconds than stops. The usual. Already checked almost...
Hi guys. Quick question, do I need to apply exhaust assembly paste on to gasket that comes with fitting kit? Between manifold and catalyst? Or do it Dry? ?

What is the hole position supposed to be on the alternator?
I got 75amp version from eBay ages ago. And now trying to fit PMS pulley kit but the thing won’t fit. Seems to be hitting the top bracket.

Hi Guys. I have a pair of this side mounts from my other car. Made from 5mm aluminium. Will they be ok to use for MSA events?? Or I need to buy something else? I bought specific corbeau mounts but they are to wide at the bottom to fit the seat as far back as I want and to clear the cage with out...
Hi Guys.
Probably a long shot but... anybody know what this connect to? [emoji54]kinda have noooo idea...
Clio 172 non cup interior loom if it makes a difference
Hi guys. Quick question, is the Cup spoiler made of plastic or metal same as non cup version? The damn thing weights a ton! Actually same as my new fibreglass boot lol. Really don't wanna put it back.
Cheers.
Hi lads. I know it's a long shot but I will ask anyways. Does anyone know of a company or a person who can successfully modify existing loom or wire a brand new one on my clio 172? Basically needs to have only the essentials. Airbag, speaker, heater, ac, sensors, wipers, windows etc. must go...
Hello everyone!
I think it's time to start my own build tread.
Mainly to keep record of what has been done to the car and how I butcher it up in the only way I know how :) and perhaps to get advice and pointers from fellow members!
Little history,
Russian born, living in the uk for the past...
Hi guys. Quick question. Has anybody removed/replaced it? Is it even possible? Long story short, purchased complete rear axle from 1.4 clio. And used pure Motorsport strengthening plates to stiffen it up. Only to realise that they are different size :( I know I know what a damn ass!!! So now I...
Hi guys.
Anyone had any tips on removing unnecessary cables from interior loom?
It will be pure track car! So no need for interior lights, switches, sensors, airbags etc,
Do I just cut the wires? Or there is method?)
Cheers
