So the first thing I did was to trade those ugly 17 inch rims for a set of OZ F1 Black series with new Continental sport contact3 tyre... that would be my, road gear to use when I'm not on the track....

In between I fitted a set of those, I don't know if you guys knows that brand, it is French, it use Bilstein b14 cartridge re-set to they own spec with there own bottom end.... they are absolutely awesome to my purpose!!! the performance is realy like B14, just you can keep you standard spring if you want or just go lower, making them lot cheaper than a set of B14. After trying couple of brand, I'm happy with a set of -40mm apex spring. wich are realy only a -25mm with the weight i removed of the car... :S

where did you get the brembo adapters?

Ragnotti rules

I do not know if it is the appropriate place for that but I and a friend are making and selling them as a kit ... :eek:

Yes Ragnotti at his age can and will kick ass lol!

Are you going to be changing the car registration to French?

Yes under process already... I'm travelling a lot so i did not complete that task yet...

  RS2'ed 172 Cup
Looks great, your are certainly spending a Few Euros on some choice parts!

Did anyone else snigger at the Name of the Garage in the photos above? 'Garage Tomauto'
 
  Clio Cup by RIKUS
very nice mate. where did you get the mani from? looks like a 182 one to me :S

Indeed ! it look like a 182 but it is not... the 182 got a flat spot on one of the tubular to improve clearance with subframe, this one has not, also the racing cup is about 2 to 3 cm longer... and for instance I had to modified the k-tek exhaust to be able to fit it properly.

Plans look very nice indeed!
Look forward to seeing it finished ;)

Except for the plan to come... like the rs2 manifold, the car is kind of finish...

I'm just finally sharing backward in time ... :D

Thanks mate!

mehhh that garage.... well that deserve an explanation... it is the only garage I trust! to make it simple.... The owner, a friend, chief mechanic trained with Citroen and Peujot in the national rally championship, even though I'm starting my own structure and performing 95 % of the worked inhouse I ' frequently rely on him when i'm too much busy or just lazy ;)

On the top floor you have, an other friend Marc, specialize in after-market rims... He is the one to thanks for those OZ back special edition, repaired and repainted as they would have come from OZ ... He also the one who found 15 inch rims that would fit on top of my big break set up...

I recommend they if one day you pop in France ...

I don't know, poaching one of the 1500 ish Cups left in the UK....

....and making it something special! Awesome.

Very nice toys you've got for it too.

I bet that Quaife made your pockets s**t themselves....

LoL, with the amount of pound I leave in the UK, I can't say that I'm not helping the economies LOL

Thanks !

You bet right !!! but now it is super-cars owners who s**t themselves !! they cant figure out why I pass them or why the track team give them a blue flag for a simple Clio .... (I want to say that comparaison was done on normal track, suitable for smaller car, not like F1 tracks)

Quaif is the first modification any Clio 172/182 owners should do first ! it literally transform the car into a corner monster !
