SBV116's Renaultsport addiction, 172 cup content!!

Whats the difference with the breather plate for a 197? Only the carbon canister inlet not there?
Yes pal, but apparently thats on back order! So my original one has been modified with a grinder / demel and will be painted and refit!
Saving a few quid!Matt @ TDF will be mapping it eventually, when i am old and grey!
Was great to see this yesterday, looking good. Hopefully next time I'm round it'll be finished. I much prefer my 182 debadged - clean the way to go imo, although 'clio' off as well, holes fillled, repainted. The 'sport' badges look a bit naff to me now as there are so many non-sports with them.
What's the plan going to be for the interior?
P.S. Did 250 odd miles yesterday after leaving your place, no warning lights - so fingers crossed it's sorted, job done.

Awesome thread
Update time, had a good 2 nights on it this week, got plenty done, still bucket loads to do though! Let the pictures do the talking to start with!
Firstly, got a bit of VHT paint on the head face, before anyone says it yes it was all masked off etc before painting, nothing worse than paint in your holes!!
Shiny stainless steel fixings arrived, courtesy of Jason @ Paul Chetwyn Supplies, Many thanks
had to mount the vac for the brake servo, this involved drilling, no point in lying, i s**t myself doing thiis, not a good feeling, even after matt say's it's ok!
Then gaz got more involved with the wiring, not a fan of this to be honest....
eeeeeeeek :
Bodies actually fully bolted up!
Andy always goes mad at this little hole left in the cambelt cover....
So, he made this little cover, that i painted and bolted on :
Fuel rail all on and tight, it had a new injector because i broke one being heavy handed
Coil pack and HT leads / breather plate fitted :
Wiring loom into injector's, fue pipe connected etc :
Slowly getting there...................
So after many hours wiring and scratching of heads, it ACTUALLY runs, ecu and wiring is just resting and very untidy at the minute, we had truble with the crank sensor, but once sorted it fired up easy, runs and idles.
Thought we had a TPS fault, but it seemed to improve once warm so think it may just need maping properly.
Still loads to do, firstly tape the looms up and mount the ECU's etc, but it's a milestone!
Big thanks to Andy@Birchdown, Gaz - Kev, he's my sidekick on this project, in charge of wiring aswell, and lastly Matt@TDF, i rang him so many times it's unreal, big thank you to him.
Got a fair bit to do, them book a mapping session eventually, got further than Ben R did in 18 months though........ cough cough.
Hope you enjoy!

No, we had split them instead of piggybacking them, rookie error....... I was warned about getting them the right way, i believe from your thread you had that problem?!

Very nice fancy doing another 
fancy doing another Hellooooo!
Cup has had a bit of neglect really, got it running with the bodies, no where near perfectly, but i am hapy my wiring etc is correct, so when i get there Matt can do his magic at TDF ( probably bollock me for doing something wrong...........lol ).
Anyway, been on my tod tonight as my sidekick (gaz-kev) has gone to looooondon looking at lapdncers or something similiar.
Got on well i feel, engine oil and filter changed, genuine renault filter and Elf 5/40 oil.
Gearbox oil change, using valvoline gear oil.
Fit my N/S front coilover unit, track rod end, bottom arm, poly bush, caliper, pads, dosc and flexi hose.
Also replaced my PAS pressure switch as that was weeping More bloody expense!
Anyway, will let the pics do the talking, couple more good nights and i hope we will be gettitng there outside, then down to TDF eventually for mapping.
enjoy, or i hope!
Old disc off, skanky :
Old track rod end, replaced this, but failed to take a pic of the new one cos im a goon:
Somebody's idea of a well secured CV boot..........
CV boot grease :
Proper job :
Old and new together :
Anti roll bar bush, poly.
And fitted :
Old and new together :
in, with new strut top mountings:
New disc, carrier on and DS2500 pads in :
Caliper on, and braided hose :
Said valvoline gear oil:
With the ends unscrewed, you can actually get at the filter off pretty easily :
Doesnt look like this has been changed for a while :
New PAS pressure switch :
and fitted :
Front wheel on, first time in a long while.....:
Hopefully do a bit more soon!

Bloody tidy, good work.
Don't have any pics with me, but friday afternoon put the rear coilies on, rear braided lines, fit all the o/s front bushes , lower arm, track rod and coilover unit, bled all the brakes up, finally got a brake pedal, lol!! been driving around for months with no calipers on back and to from the workshop.

Little bit more tonight,
Rmoved the MAP sensor plug and capped the wires, tidied the end of the loom up a bit.
Wasn't touching, but put piece of rubber over the fuel pipe just in case..... better to be safe than sorry, tolerances were close!
Fitted the uprated gearbox mount while the battery was out.
ECU mounted, not going to put all the cover's etc on, only going to be a summer car / fun vehicle.
Just a quick pic of the capped wires that are not used, using Wurth heatshrink with resin, warm and squeeze. tidies it up no end, and no moisture can get in!

Looks nice and tidy. I do like your Rocker cover paint.
No doubt Fred will comment on the fact you have put one of your gearbox bolts on the wrong way!

brilliant thread ith some massive money spent. good to see a clio rescued and cared for.
What engine mount is that ? and where from please
Vibra-technics mounts only supplied by ktec though iirc.
Monaco 172 + mk1 RSi
I thought those ones were solid, those in the pic have rubber, unlike the solid ones as far as I'm aware :/
Thanks Jamie

Vibra-Technic ones are what Ktec sell. Technically not 'sold' I guess, but quite bit more so than standard
