Clio Cup Racer

Clio 172/182 Cup Racer Dampers ::For Sale::

Clio 172/182 Cup Racer Bilstein/RenaultSport Dampers For Sale – £750 a pair inc. Delivery

The dampers are the only used part of this kit – everything else is brand new and unused.

Following on from my earlier bits for sale thread, I am listing these two pairs of Bilstein Clio Cup Racer Dampers separately.

One set is from the earlier Clio Cup 172’s (Silver) and the second set were used on the later 172 and 182 Cup Racers, however they are identical as far as I am aware apart from the colour. The silver dampers are slightly different lengths due to them being the earlier design – I can’t tell you why this is – but obviously this is not an issue, as the ride height is adjusted using the srping platforms. New the dampers alone are about £170 each, springs £60 each and the ancillarys such as the bearings, and everything else are about £250 per damper – So you are looking at about £1000 for a pair of the dampers new.

They fit the standard car and are fabulous for anything on track orientated – I actually ran them on the road for ages, but I am a little more hardcore than most – they were perfect with the vehicle that I was running, and were well rated and damped.

The Clio Cup Racers  run with “Clio Cup” Eibach Springs – but you could quite easily update/uprate these with the Eibach. In this range the Clio Cup C-400 spring is the softest rate that Eibach do, but, this range goes up in increments of 50lbs at about £65 per spring.

I am not really negociable on the price, as everything in terms of parts is brand new. If you would like to pay on Paypal – fine – but you must pay the charges.

Looking to Buy a Race Car?

Race Cars For Sale

Looking for a car to compete in can be an ardous task, we hope that our page here will develop into a page where you will be able to find all of the resources that you will need when you are looking for a race car this is for sale.

Some of my thoughts about Buying a Race Car

The main thing to consider when you are looking is that different people will advertise their race cars in different places. If you are looking for a classic race car then the likelihood is that you won’t find it in a sports car or modern motorsport publication (either online or offline). If you are looking for a specialist vehicle, you are best looking towards a specialist publication – eg. Porsche Race cars aren’t going to be advertised in performance BMW are they, so why would a specific race car be marketed on a general motorsports site?

A good offline publication to look at for Fast Road and Trackday cars would be something like TRC, they have a few pages of classifieds or PistonHeads which I mention later in the article. – Track and Race Cars Magazine

I would recomend that when looking to buy a race car that you research the kind of specification that you feel that you will need to have to compete at the level that you want to compete at. For example if you are looking to compete at the top level of any championship, in my opinion, you are going to need to do one of two things:

a) Build a car from scratch that is as good as or better specification than the race cars that are leading the championship

b) Build a similar spec race car to cars that are competing well and drive considerably better than those leading the championship currently

In championships where the car is a standard (Eg. Clio Cup UK) then you will probably need to consider the following: a new shell is going to be paramount if you are planting it at the front of the grid – I was told that with the old clio cup cars that a new shell was worth 2/10ths around Brands Hatch? If you are going down this route, then it is probably more sensible to consider buying a new car over a second hand vehicle… as the costs of migrating the setup into a new shell are going to be pretty prohibative.

Where to Look to Buy a Race Car?

RaceCarsForSale – A Leading International Site for selling Race Cars

Raced and Rallied – A well known online portal for buying and selling race cars throughout Europe.

eRacingCars – A well respected site with all scales of cars advertised online. I like it more than most.

Race Cars Direct – A personal favourite of mine, it attracts more of the big money race cars (GT3/LMS), but there are plenty of good deals to be had.

Motorsport Ads – Another good site for race cars in the UK & abroad. Also powers the motorsport classifieds on Crash.net

Pistonheads – Pistonheads is one of those sites that always throws up some oddities, supercars and hatchbacks side by site. Its always worth a gander.

FastRoadandTrack – One that I have seen about, but never really used.

750MC – 750 Motorclub Race Car Classifieds.

The list isn’t by any means intended to be exhaustive, but I will add to it when I get time – its intended to be a gesture in the right direction for those of you looking for race cars.

Carbon Fibre Clio Cup Racer Headlight Covers

Carbon Fibre Clio Cup Racer Headlight Covers

Clio Cup Racer headlight Covers

YozzaSport Clio 172/182 Headlight Covers

The RenaultSport Clio 172 & 182 Cup race cars do not have front headlights, instead they have perspex covers which replaces the headlight unit. The item has been unavailable from RenaultSport for the last few years, and purely by chance, we found a set of them whilst we were clearing out some old stock. So made moulds to enable us to provide customers with a light-weight carbon fibre replacement item.

The carbon fibre covers are 1 layer carbon, one layer fibreglass so are robust enough to cut to enable you to add ducting to an airbox or a cold air feed to the air filter.

Priced at £175 they are a solid and lightweight replacement to the now unavailable RenaultSport light covers.

They are suitable for both the Clio 172 and Clio 182 Cup Race Cars, most of which now run in the LMA Euro Saloons or other circuit series, however, they can be fitted to any Clio from 2001 with the pointed headlight design. Should you wish to purchase them, they are available through yozzasport or their distributors.
