Clio 172 from spain



  Clio 172 Phase II
Hi guys! My name is Fernando, i´m posting from Zamora (Spain). Excuse my poor grammar, i do it the best i can.

I purschased a Clio sport 172 4 years ago, my second car for tracks (first one was a citroen xsara VTS).
When i bought it, it have a KW suspension, renault sport rear bridge, oreca exhaust and a BMC CDA intake system.

The car was an absolut dissaster, no compression, shock absorbers broken and start failures.
The restoration was a hard work and i become the best friend of my mechanic...

The engine was restored with OEM parts including pistons, ported inlet mainfold. No works on engine head.

I changed the BMC CDA for a OEM FILTER BOX with sport sponge. With these configuration, it makes 179,4HP at 6300rpm and 218.7 nm at 5350 rpms.

removed also the KW suspensions and fitted a Bilstein B14 performance by tecnoshock (for track, little more hard and EIBACH ERS front coilovers)

  Clio 172 Phase II
BUT...one day, on the jarama track (madrid) i blow off the engine, gearbox and clutch when i put 2nd gear instead 4rd gear :(

Then, the last 2 years i have had the most terrorific nightmare. I restored the engine again, but something was wrong because the oil level went down really faster so...we repared the cilinders with a burnish, fitted hi compression piston iesa, cometick basket and removed the ABS system with a regulation pump brake inside the car.

i have pictures, but later. time to eat!

Regards!
