What is the PCD and offset for wheels on a 172 cup ph 2?

I have recently fitted a set of DS2500 pads on the front of my 172 cup with high carbon brembo discs as recommended by Shaun @ K-TEC. After bedding in as per the instuctions, these pads grip like nothing else I have tried. Especially from cold which was what I needed while sprinting the car...

Round 3 of the NSCC speed championship for the Clio this weekend. Just had the steering rack replaced so am hoping to improve on 2 second in class results so far. 5 Clios in my class this time so should be interesting. Target time is 69.72 seconds, my best so far is 73.59 (in my 8v Golf)! Hope...

Having arrived at Curborough Richard and I got set for the day. Practice went well with my Clio easily into the 39's and Richard not far behind. Class SB was again shaping up to be closely fought. 1st timed run was before lunch and the Clio dipped into the 38's, Richards' Golf was running just...

My Cups steering doesn't self center very well at all. I have made some enquiries and the cup was set up to have more castor at the front than the FF172. THis should make the steering center quicker as well as giving more negative camber when the wheels are turned. Anybody know how the extra...

Only the second trophy I have seen on the road! Heading out of Hucknall on long lane toward Watnall. Sat in all the traffic!

Hi all Have done the clay, SRP, EGP routine and wondered which Carnuba Wax I should use to add the finishing touch to my 172 Cup. Are the carnubas different for different colours or doesn't it matter?

Hi all Can somebody post some piccies of their boot carpet and the tool kit/ tyre foam kit you get with a 172 cup. My car comes with a bodly fitting bit of ply with carpet clipped to it and a dodgy 5 spoke alloy which I'm going to bin. The tool kit is the type that fits inside the wheel and...

This is the 1st Trophy I have seen on the road since I bought my 172 Cup in Jan. He wasn't hanging around either. I was stuck in my van so had no chance of keeping up!

Anybody out there know why my 172 cups' steering has tightened up? If I turn the steering wheel it is very reluctant to center again. The steering boss I have just fitted does catch very slightly on the plastic around the steering column, but it was doing it before I changed the wheel. Could it...

Here are some of the many pics I have taken of my 172 Cup over the last few weeks during its rebuild. There is a pic of the body shell just after paint. A pic of where the subframe braket had been cut off and re welded so it lined up with the subframe. A pic of the anti roll bar which due...

Can anybody recommend a garage in the Nottingham area to replace the drive shaft oil seals on my 172 cup as I have a leak! Don't want to ask renault dealers at £75 p/h.

You all probably know this and I am therefore preaching to the converted, but no matter what the price or how genuine the seller - ALWAYS HPi a potential purchase before parting with your hard earned. English law dictates "Buyer BEWARE" which means - the seller can tell you what ever lies they...
