172 cup

Hi all I’ve spent the last two years restoring a Clio Cup, which has been owned by a couple of members on here already. It was a solid car to start with and had been stood for a few months prior to me becoming the custodian. Anyway, it went for its MOT and everything was going great, until...

Following up on my previous post (https://cliosport.net/threads/172-cup-massively-over-fuelling.850820/) I thought I'd check if you had any other ideas about what could be causing my emissions problems before getting it remapped. As you can see it failed on everything! I know it needed a new cat...

Hi all, Just had my 172 Cup MoT'd today, unfortunately it (should have) failed due to hydrocarbon emissions, which they they think is from a dodgy remap in the past which tallies with the history I have. Does anyone know any companies down south that'd be able to sort the map out/return it to...

I've been into small fast Renaults for years now; my first time was in Adey's first Renault 5 GT Turbo back in 2003, and I spent many evenings out in it chasing Escort RS Turbos and going to various RTOC days. I will always remember the excitement coming from Adey when this exact car made 201...

Hello all , does anyone know if a 172 cup spoiler would fit on my 2001 ph2 dynamique? would it be a simple replacement just undoing the torx on the boot? Thanks in advance

My car is a (PH2) 172 cup with no air conditioning. Can someone drop a link for the correct place to pick up the right items for my car? Everything needed for a full cambelt / aux belt service. Found the right person to do the work for me, just need to gather all the bits! :)

Hi All, I've been looking to buy a 172 cup after being away from cliosports for years. I found a fairly nice one but I did notice all of the jacking points are folded over and rotting, I didn't notice any more rust on the sills but I know it's hard to see without the covers off. Since I don't...

Hi everyone! Recently I started a thread on whether to buy a clio exclusive, I then changed my mind when I found out a mechanic friend of mine has decided to sell his 172 Cup. He bought it on eBay and had a list as long as his arm to fix. Mechanically it is sound after he has serviced it and it...

Hi from Australia everyone, I just recently purchased my first Renault (a 2001 Clio 172 non cup). It has 127,000 kms (approx 79,000 miles for everyone else in the group). Its due a timing belt and has a rough idle on startup but other than that is in very nice condition. It does have a sticky...

Hi, I've got an issue with my 172 cup where the radiator fan never kicks in. I've done a lot of research and tried a lot of troubleshooting but I can't get to the bottom of the issue. Some info I've got through troubleshooting: - If I bridge the fan relay in the engine fuse box the fan starts...

I am gonna try and make this as complete as possible, if you have any questions, i'll answer. So... Your 3rd brake light failed on your cup spoiler. Great you're in for a treat. Alright, first off you need to source a new one, which can be expensive as they go for about 90€ (i'm french sry idk...

As the title suggests I’d like to know what choices there are (currently, Feb 2020) looking for something quiet, and not too chav looking :unsure: My car is a 172 cup (so ph2) and I think it currently has a straight through exhaust with some backward pointing tips on the current back box...

Has anyone got side skirt extensions on their 1x2? Maxton Design do kits for the mk3 & mk4 so has any one modified anything to fit? I know of one which used a BMW kit but to buy these new to chop up makes my bank account cry.. looks good though Discuss

Hi, I thought I'd start a thread for the 172 Cup as momentum has gathered and the parts have started to arrive. The car itself belongs to my partner, she's been interested in picking up a clean one of these for a while now. After numerous days, weeks.. months. Searching on Ebay, Facebook...

So, my 172 Cup. Started misfiring but only does it when the engine's up to temperature. Replaced the lambda sensor as it'd needed it for a while. Replaced the spark plugs. Checked the injectors. Replaced the HT leads. Replaced the coil pack (twice). Put it into a garage to see if they...

So here it is, the start of the OEM+ cup, its quite tidy already but its not perfect. The list ive got down so far is : 1) Belts and depasher need doing 2) wheels need refurbing 3) bother bumpers and bonnet need painting 4) needs new cup badges 5) steering wheel needs retrimming 6) new...

Hi, This is my first project thread on here. I wanted to start a thread to document my attempts to get into racing, my development as a driver and my cars development... My Background In from Sheffield, been obsessed with cars since I was a kid, went to University to study Automotive...

Afternoon all, Long-time-lurker, first-time-poster. I've bought myself a ph 2 172 cup, which has already been track-prepped, but now I'm going to modify it to go road rallying too. So with that in mind I'm hoping to harness the wisdom and experience of the cliosport forums for some words of...

Hi everyone from the Czech Republic, I would like to introduce my track project, and learn something new, especialy about setting for track use. in 2015 a car appeared in the Czech Republic for sale, in a terrible condition. Still, I bought him for about 1100£ , with the idea that it will be a...

A couple of weeks ago on the way home,about 5mins away from home my cup went into limp mode. Wouldnt rev passed 3k & not go much above 45mph. Once home turned engine off then on again and all was fine,a week or so after this i have had no limp mode,but then today it done it twice.Again turned...

Right, so. My track car, a Clio 172 Cup, has stopped responding to throttle input. In addition, it's started idling a little high- about 1900 RPM- and quite rough. I've checked the pedal box, and that works. I've checked the throttle body, and that works. I've checked the wiring, and while I...

I'm building a 172 Cup into a track car. My main priority is gonna be suspension and brake setup to start with (though I am easily distracted by shiny things) but I have no idea where to start. My goal is, obviously, improved handling. I plan to do most of the work myself; I've worked on...

Only just realised I've never done a build thread for my current 172 Cup so thought it would be rude not to. Had one back in 2014 which was actually quite a nail so ended up selling it on. Since then I've had an MR2 Turbo and a Skoda Fabia VRS which became my only car when the MR2 blew up. I...

Basically started around a couple of months ago I was driving my car pulled in to petrol station, when I came back and to start the car the fuel pump didn't prime at all and didn't fire first time turn the key off and on again and the pump primed and fired up fine. I thought must of just been a...

I'm a 'Professional' photographer (aka photography pays my bills) and I used to be mega into shooting cars but it's been about 12 months since I've got stuck in and took any car photos. Real life took over and I shoot other stuff to make a living but just had an urge after cleaning the cup...

Ive Been reading an old copy of Evo Magazine with the article about the 206Gti Vs 172 Cup. When reading both specs it says that the cup came with 195/40/15 tyres and 6.5 width??

Went on a little drive today to get some upto date photos of my cup after fitting the smaller front plate,air ducts and coilovers!

What's the best place to look for replacement stock bits for a 172 Cup? I'm looking for brake discs and pads, shocks and springs just now. None of it's urgent, but I like to start doing my research early. On a not entirely related note, what's the most cost-effective route to go down if I'm...
