Genuine Mk1 Clio Cup Racer 16V Valver

[Coops Mk1]

always wondered if they kept the torsion bars in on full coilover rears

That's a right result on the sunstrip! Great to see the original!

Not been much going on for the past few weeks as have been travelling a lot with work... however removed carbs, cleaned, new Misab plates, new Pipercross filter.

The car is now in having a new timing belt fitted, then it's off to the rolling road for proper setup.

Hoping to get it out on track in the next month or so...

That's super cool. Is there a register of surviving cup racers? There can't be many left surely, which looking at yours is a massive shame.

No register that I know of...

It's actually quite tricky to find any web forums at all for Valvers nowadays. There's an active Facebook group, but that's not the same thing as a proper Forum. The WIlliamsClio forum is pretty dead tbh - lots of tumbleweed. There's something on TurboRenault, but that's not much better.

Maybe we could do it on ClioSport.net? To me, this is the definitive site for Clio's and the site has a lot of active members. I would think this site is the logical place for it.

Looks awesome always like the clio gen 1 cup cars. Just noticed the u clamps on the rear torsion bars and jubilee clips next to bushes on front what are they for ? Stop any possible side movement ?

Yeah this would be the best place to keep track of the mk1's. The problem is finding the owners and persuading them to participate in it. I also agree this is the no1 place for clio sport on the web.
