Great video, thanks. I have been doing track days in BMWs up until now and fancied a change. I actually bought the "One of a kind Geniune Cup" in your ebay listings in the video... So will be taking heed of your advice. It has a number of mods and has been a track car for some time, but seems a good base to start a project build.

Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video 👌 Awesome, you really can’t go wrong with these little hot hatches for the money, plenty more to come on the series as I’ll be changing the camshafts and injectors to hopefully crack the 200bhp mark 😬 I’m aiming to have the car back on track for the Cliosport.net festival at the end of August in Anglesey if you want to see it in the flesh 👍

Your wheels came up fantastic considering the wheel cleaners didnt work. I've seen the air feed from the headlight it looks good and then use your foglight ducts for the brake cooling. Great to see the Cup back out.

Yep really chuffed with the outcome 😎 Just need to decide if I wan the Clio to loose its headlight, OCD problems lol! More content to come on the little 172 Cup

Interesting video, I've been looking at one of these for rallying. We are rallying a cross at the mo, and it keeps breaking the short shaft. Maybe down the the gripper diff, but we can now change it in 8 minutes in eluding jacking up the car lol. Caldwell is a blast, ill have to watch your other vids for track time. We also did a trackday at caldwell in the pissing rain, needless to say I was the first person to spin off the track, although it did give me a clue as to limits on the road tyres we had on. Great vid, keep em coming, Steve🍻

Thanks mate, it’s been a labour of love that build 😅 yea values are climbing really fast for good ones nowadays, thankfully i purchased one when I did haha. Can’t go wrong with the MK2 Clio Sports, so much fun for the money 😎

think the cams with the advanced timing on the inlet give around 15bhp on a standard car. having a set fitted to mine this week then its getting mapped so will be interesting to see what it makes. its also getting the 8 degree inlet tool to time them up .

If you go more aggressive than the 197/200 factory camshafts then bigger gains can be achieved, the 197/200 are not massively aggressive to achieve big numbers but good half way house for the MK2 😎 The standard inlet camshaft in the Cup has already been advanced to Group N spec and Andy at Engine Dynamics has altered the VVT switch points to suit 😎 I would be happy if it cracks the 200bhp mark

I’d like to see the video on the cams

Hi mate excellente vid I also have a 172 for the track, but after any track day my clutch gets super sensitive and noisy and after a while it starts leaking valvoline from the transmission box, has this ever happened to you? if yes, what did you do and advise me?

@stoneautomotive

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Martin & glad you enjoyed 👍😎 Sounds like you have a fault with the clutch or a leak coming from the main seal on the engine which is potentially contaminating the clutch plates with engine oil. I’ve also seen the rocker covers leak so badly oil literally streams down the block which can make its way down to the gearbox side. I’ve got the usual oil “sweat” from the selector arm but doesn’t effect the working operation at all thankfully.

Whats the price of insurance to use on the road stripped out with mods? i wouldn't mind keeping my corsa vxr as a track b road car and buying something else for everyday its forged and mapped so should be fun but i asume insurance would be high. Would fit a half cage ect.👍👍
