2002 Clio 172 Cup

[PeteCup]

My 1st Clio, well my 1st Renault in fact! Anyway, not much to show at the minute as i've only had it 2 days. Will hopefully be adding some engine mods and giving it a subtle track look.

New number rear plate!!!

But apart from that looks good... what you got planned for it then dude?

 

[PeteCup]

Thanks man, yeah new plate as soon as V5 arrives in the post. Plans so far include...

Silver bulbs
Induction (not sure what route yet, modded airbox maybe with larger cold air feeds)
Exhaust/decat (Cup racer style would be nice, or hidden), not too loud though
Cams/ECU
Rear half cage, maybe with buckets/harnesses
Coilovers (H&R probably)
Cup racer brake ducts
Cup racer tow eye (for track days)
Cup racer Sabelt steering wheel
Color change for alloys (white or anthracite maybe)

When all this will happen though i dont know as i'm now taking on our mortgage on my own but still, gives me something to work towards.

Well spotted, 1st owner was from Wotton Under Edge (not far from Bristol) then it was sold to a guy up in Chesterfield, then i've brought it back down south again to Gloucestershire.

So your a local member then, would be good to see you at the next meet chap ? or pop along to the castle combe action day on the 19th of april as we are having a stand there.

 

[PeteCup]

Thanks man, although on the 19th i'm up at Brands Hatch for the Mk2 Golf championship as my mates racing. Do spend quite a bit of time up Castle Combe though as my Neighbour races in the Auto Windscreens saloon car championship. Will sort something out though

 

[PeteCup]

Ok progress has been slow for various reasons, so heres a tiny update...

New plates...

De-wiper (excuse the dirt)...

Custom gear lever...

Eibach Sportlines...

 

[Jay Payne]

Doesnt look like the springs have settled yet in those pics. Should go abit lower in time. Plates look good, cut down one would look better on the front, no overhang.

Looks like a very clean and tidy one tho. Get it to the rolling road day in august to see what its putting out before u mod the motor.

 

[PeteCup]

Thanks, yeah its the tidyest car i've owned so i'm quite enthusiastic about keeping it clean and tidy. Will look in to the RR day too

[PeteCup]

Thanks guys, Friday is 'strip the back out properly and tidy it all up' day, should be fun

 

[CBetts]

Looks Superb. Where abouts did you get that cage?

 

[PeteCup]

The cage was very hard to find, had wanted ads up on all the forums i could think of for ages.

lol, sorry mate, some people dont like their name mentioned all over the place. In all seriousness, thanks for a smooth transaction, was a fun day

 

[Sean.]

can you tell me what you did and what parts you need to de-wiper the rear please, thanks

Glad you found one Pete. Car looks well.

Just took the arm off and the motor out then stuck a rubber bung in the whole. Got the bung in a Halfords £1.50 tub of random bungs

Glad you found one Pete. Car looks well.

Thankyou

I think the sportlines make the biggest difference to the cup. I always wanted them but never got round to getting them. I always thought std the cup was too high at the front esp and the sportlines look to be a perfect mod. Looks good.

 

[Luke.]

coming on nicely mate!
