The French 172 "Monster'One"...

[Thrust-Rated]

What does it say on top of that RS2 intake?

 

[GodSpeed]

Nice project,

Have a few questions for you.

Rear brakes look like 197calipers? But what discs did you use?

I assume the new final gear for the box lower than stock but from what gearbox/car?

thanks in advance

????

Sorry for the late reply ...


The rear brake is the Clio 3 RS (197): the brake discs are those of the Clio GT with 4 holes as the Clio 2 (172) to mount the rims without problems.


About the gearbox: I added a couple short 14x63 with a fifth short.

I hate to upset you, but that cambelt tensioner has been set wrong!

Explain please Fred? He has what look's like the only way to tension the belt with the ecentric part facing to the right of the picture giving tension. Are you saying he has tensioned it anti clockwise when he should have done it clockwise?

Had me worried, common sense really, get the two mark's lined up and your good, same as any old ecentric tensioner...phew.


Is that an upper pulley to suit a skimmed head Fred?

yeah its slightly oversized for skimmed heads/decked blocks etc

Non, en fait elle est très bien montée : j'ai été moi même étonné mais c'est bon ! :S






And them :

About the JMS/STONE ?

 

[Thrust-Rated]

About the JMS/STONE ?

Yes.

 

[Pierre-Benoît]

Yes.

The JMS / STONE has not been done for clio 172.


For installation, you must change the cable accéléateur a longer and redrill the holes for attaching the mechanical throttle admission.


there is the adaptation to do ...

Avez-vous la machine la culasse tout en reconstruisant le moteur?

Thanks,

Do these calipers need an adapter to fit or are they plug and play in combination with Clio GT discs? No problems with handbrake or wheel bearing?

Are you able to provide me with the item numbers for this conversion? Have been scanning through JC5-062 to JC5-144 of boxes and none have the 14x63 ratio. My guess is these parts comes of a JR5-129 gearbox? What fifth gear ratio did you use?

BigAsh is your man if you want to know different available 5th gears. He toyed with a few ideas and has all the part numbers iirc.

 

[Fred@BTM]

your cambelt tensioner is in the wrong position

en fancais

votre tendeur Cambelt est dans la mauvaise position

 

[Chip-mk1]

If you arent running a slam panel, you could consider spacing the RS2 forward to give it more intake length, should help increase torque.

Attention to detail is incredible. Have you sorted the cambelt issue out Fred highlighted to you?

Looks like its coming along nicely! Cant wait to see this thing finished. Wish i had the space/money to build a track car like this.

 

[Fred@BTM]

and the cambelt tensioner is still wrong LOL!

 

[Chi]

Awesome work once again subscribed... Tres Bien

 

[rdoxenham]

Nobody can fault you for trying... you've pointed it out a few times!

 

[rdoxenham]

Do those top mounts allow for camber adjustment? It's not obvious to me that camber bolts are being used... thanks!

Looks great but I can't help but think that the hose you're running between the filter and the RS2 isn't really up to the job.

 

[Advikaz]

Looks like a promising project mate!

 

[sonny172cup]

Love it (not fan on the cartoon stickers though).

 

[Coops Mk1]

what an absolute mess that looks................... I love it! lol!

 

[MG cup]

You love a sticker.

What size of wheel spacer did you have to use with the Brembo 4 pot brakes and the OZ F1's?

 

[Iain C]

looks great. A lot of work has gone into that. I love the mad cartoon stuff. Ken Block would be proud

 

[Cupman29]

Really like the look of this but agree the welshnamed one that the intake hose will create a very turbulent flow which wont help things.

Good to use before the filter if oversized as a CAF but not after the filter sized to the TB.

Thank you, it will look good in blanc.

Are the wheels the original phase 1 15"? I don't think they look like them.
