Hi Clio 172 Cup, only on hard acceleration i can hear what sounds like a series of metallic rubbing / graunch from under the bonnet, possibly LH side of the engine, and then it stops. It does it every time, but low speed accel its fine. Doesn't do it under braking, as if its on full torque -...

You can actually take the gearbox out from the top by dropping the subframe on the LH side and removing the exhaust manifold so the engine pivots on the RH top mount. This is how i do it with the rally car and its easier. Remember to get a wheel alignment check done if you have removed the...

HI Interested in the ph1 being the better cylinder head, what is the difference Russ out of interest? cheers

Hi All Its been a while since ive posted so thought i would post some updates on our progress. We found out the Gripper Diff is a weak point on gravel on the Clio and we snapped 2 output shafts and 1 driveshaft. As a result we upgraded the gearbox to a Sadev Dog box and Sadev Driveshafts which...

Hi Ian That seems far to cheap for Reiger 3 ways, i was quoted £5K for my clio rally car earlier in the year so let me know if they deliver on that price as i would sell my AST 3 ways and buy a set cheers Simon

The tyres we used were slick, T71 compound front and back which is Soft and we ran them all day. On the rear i made an inter cut to get more heat into them which seemed to work well. tyres were 200/610R/16 thinking of doing otterburn rally next !

thanks chaps! those pictures look great ! I'm really pleased with our progress so far seeing as it was built over 6 months at home in my garage, it seems to be a reliable car finishing our first 2 rallys which was always a worry as there arent many clios out on the stages. We just need to...

We have a 5.25:1 CWP so the acceleration is there and it keeps the revs up but tops out at 112mph which is perfect for rallying, gripper diff is set to drive on one shaft, think the plates are set to 90Nm which is quite high but it will drop off to around 70NM, it is a better diff than the...

the weekend before the output shaft from the gearbox on the passenger side sheared after 10 miles (the male end where the driveshaft goes over). Gripper copied the standard road car version which has a groove machined all way round ? and this is where it failed. The new one does not have this...

Thanks for the comments guys, and info Gary kindly posted. We had a great run yesterday and Chris from Manic Motors was there to give a hand as well. The clio ran without a hitch on what was a very rough rally especially with our low seeding running behind 80 previous cars. Im really chuffed...
