    W hat suspension is this?

    These were Mark Fish's own design solid top mounts. He sold a few some years back. I have a set on my race car that have been on there since I bought it in 2013 and they're still good. Over engineered and excellent quality!

    Clio on a trailer with tyre rack question

    If that’s the same as the one I use the Clio is a snug fit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rocker cover gasket leak?

    If it’s on top at that end it will almost certainly be the solenoid seal. Easy job and about £5 on eBay. Definitely try that first because the alternative is a much bigger job! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    172 Con rod and piston set

    You should be ok with 12.1 CR as long as it’s mapped properly, you use good quality rod and main bearings and ARP bolts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thermostat housing leak issue

    Yes that is possible. Gasket should sort it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pictures of the CM Composites Cup Spoiler

    Yes, I just needed one as light as possible. The trophy one still needs a light fitting to it. Probably not much difference to be honest though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pictures of the CM Composites Cup Spoiler

    I’ve had 2 over the past few years. Wrapped rather than painted but the quality is certainly good enough for paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3 Guys 1 Cup

    Good luck with this. I should imagine the Clio will be quite a bit lighter than the Pug. Unfortunately the jumping out of gear is almost certainly box related rather than mount. If you have the budget look to getting a diff fitted during the rebuild. That will be money we’ll spent. Sent from...

    Alternator and aux belt

    Aux belt is nothing to do with timing. That’s the cam belt. So you can easily remove or replace the aux belt. An easy job you can do at home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lifter locations

    No, not really. If you have time you could drop them in to a jar of oil over night to let them fill with oil so when you start the engine for the first time they are oiled straight away but it’s not essential. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lifter locations

    There is no correct order other than keeping wear even in your particular engine by replacing them in the exact same slot. You should be fine just putting them back in any order unless they are all noticeably different due to wear in which case you’d be well advised to renew them. Good luck...

    Timing question.

    Have you got both pulleys loosened off? Make sure you can move them on the ends of the cams then once the tool is in tighten them both up with out them spinning. It’s tricky and may take 2 or 3 attempts but you should get there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Timing question.

    Yes, there won’t be space for a feeler gauge but once timed up it should slide in and out relatively easily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    172 Cup: Where I'm at.

    Be good to see some pictures! Very unlikely you’ll be too loud for track days but the 182 manifold is a good upgrade and you should find the cat will be a direct bolt on to your existing system. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pure Motorsport stock standard spec big end and main bearings. For a few quid more you could upgrade to ACL too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The trials & tribulations of racing a Clio

    Brands Hatch 22nd May Well, last weekend kind of started on Thursday last week when @Rob Quantrell and I headed down to Brands to set up our gazebo for the weekend. The idea being that we could rock up nice and relaxed on saturday morning and just unload the cars straight in without the faff of...

    Pin extraction tools

    Just buy something like this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124690643947?hash=item1d08243beb:g:PLMAAOSwic5fA~eY There are probably 3 that you'll find you will ever use but once you have the hang of using them depinning a plug is easy.

    The everlasting ph1 ITB Build **GREEN-BUILD STARTS AT PAGE 100**

    Definitely need a tester who understands the guidelines for track/race/rally vehicles. Seatbelts and dash lights are the usual hurdles.

    Fair enough. Hope you’ve got a good garage nearby to sort it. Assuming you’re not doing it yourself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Definitely sounds like a problem with the valve train. You might have a broken lifter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dephaser pulley/compression

    Have you checked for fuel in the coolant or mayonnaise in the cam cover. Possible a head gasket problem but unlikely. I would definitely check the timing and perhaps disregard the compression test. Have you had any over Rev or missed gear incidents recently? This can cause timing to slip and...

    NorthloopCup likes a challenge, right?

    If he's going to be racing he has to have a catch can. Them's the rules.

    Dephaser pulley/compression

    I’m short, no. You won’t get low compression through bad timing UNLESS it’s so far out that the valves have touched the pistons and bent. The fact that the compression is uneven across cylinders is also not a good sign. Does the engine run? Any signs of burning oil? Sent from my iPhone using...

    Centre bore increase on alloy wheels.

    Only really possible if your wheels already use spigot rings but some wheel designs may have enough meat in the centre to allow for them to be turned out to a larger diameter. A decent machine shop or alloy wheel refurbisher should be able to do it or at least let you know if it’s possible with...
