i'll happily organise a group buy if needed?

Permitted – Uprated /lowered springs are permitted. Non-adjustable uprated dampers are permitted providing they mount on the standard mounts.
i thought it was to be standard dampers, surely someone could go out and spend a few £k on race spec non adjustable dampers?
also i thought it was clio only!, but hey, the more the merrier!

Ah yes, I read it wrong I read this and thought steering wheel, when that's for the actual wheels lol.
14. WHEELS/STEERING
Wheels must remain standard dimensions for the model being raced. After market may be used if they conform to the size requirements. Steering locks to be rendered inoperative unless cars are driven to the circuit, in accordance with blue book.
Was never to be clios only as it's held with French trophy series.
That will be covered in the class groupings im sure.
You would probably end up as invite only or something if allowed to run at all.
You'd need to clarify it with the organisers, but I expect it would be allowed.

Am I reading that correctly , £949 + vat fitted ? seems cheap ?
I would be interested in a group buy!!
172 cups are the car to have with them regs it seems.
PMS top mounts and strut brace are allowed according current regs.
Also it looks like they will impose a minimum weight too which will be good for fairness.
Being an open French class it looks like Clio's won't be the cars doing the winning when it gets up and running, most that are looking to compete from here said wont bother them though.

Put me on the list.
Sorry to ask what is most likely a dumb question but what is involved in fitting a cage. I've heard people talking about what a pain it is. Is this something I would be able to do myself or most likely taking it somewhere to get fitted professionally. I have quite basic mechanical expertise btw 
edit... just seen above post by Fred. I'll as the question in the appropriate thread rather than pollute this one

Whichever has fuel
Guys, how does this sound for a spec list for the car. ALL opinions welcome! I'm going shopping this week and want to make sure i've got everything. We're taking time off work to get it all done/fitted and if I forget something, i'll get punched.
It's a clio 172 Cup.
15 inch wheels
4 x new shocks
4 x springs. (Cooksports?)
Polybush everything that can be.
uprated engine mounts and dog bone mount.
New TRE's/ball joints/top mounts.
Camber bolts.
182 Manifold, link pipe and a Ktec stealth. (As I already have one)
Brembo discs, ds3000 pads at the front. Standard rear brakes. (All new)
Air filter
Battery relocation
Fire extinguisher
Roll cage
Battery isolator.
Is there anything missing from there that I need to consider?

Wouldnt bother with the 182 manifold... Things you do need though...
2L oil catch tank
Tow Straps
In date harness
FIA seat
Cage.
PMS top mounts aren't allowed, given the rule of "no spherical bearings'

I already have it mate so that's why i'm going to use it. Makes fitting the cat a million times easier if nothing else.
I didn't realise about the catch tank, cheers i'll get that too. I have the seat and harness on order from a mate so that's ok.
If you move the battery inside the car it needs to be in a water tight box or a liquid free one eg odessy or similar.
Very true, I overlooked that when I read front strut braces are allowed and non standard top mounts as long as they don't add camber/caster.
If you keep the std breather setup ie with the breather going back into the engine you don't need a catch tank
It says standard manifold and wheel size.
I assume that meansa 182 manifild on a 172 is not allowed and wheels must be 16x7
Ive not read my bluebook for racing yet (im lazy) but for sprinting a catch tank is only needed if running a breath to atmosphere. Is 2L tank manditory for this regardless?

I've got an odyssey battery. so I can just relocate that and not need a box? Smashing.
Good news about the breather/no catch tank too.
Thank you.

182 is a standard manifold. 15's were fitted to a phase 1. Is that the right way to look at it or not??
Other things discussed today, wheels are free so you can use 15" wheels for cheaper tyres, and spacers are allowed along with camber bolts.
Exhaust manifold should be fine as it's from that 'model', if you read it that way. But because you're not allowed to remap spending loads of money on little things is pointless. Better spent on fresher tyres/geometry etc.

Not in my experience (MSA sprint only) but worth checking first.
