    roblee8g Clio X85 Cup

    The wheels that came with the car showed a fair bit of scuffing & gouging incurred during 2 seasons of Clio Cup Benelux and 1 of Michelin Clio Cup Series. My project is to restore them to as-new condition. Here is a typical wheel in the as-received condition. The next step is paint- stripping.

    roblee8g Clio X85 Cup

    Thanks Lewis. This is the later session after the rain came. A bit of a spin after the back stepped out on turning in to Turn 1.

    roblee8g Clio X85 Cup

    I imported this Cup racer from the UK to Australia recently. It arrived in March and I have done a couple of track days in it. After an initial check, I had to do some repairs and was glad to have Alex from APMotorsport ship me the necessary parts. Here's a photo and a video from the most...

    X85 Cup Racer VVT fault code

    Replaced the VVT solenoid and the error code disappeared, but was replaced by an "Inlet p - def" code which relates to the MAP sensor. The sensor was a bit loose so I tied it down with a cable tie. I have Enis Galijasevic's machined holder coming so that would be a better fix. Should I take the...

    X85 Cup Racer VVT fault code

    It doesn't feel flat at all, but I've only driven the car twice, so there may be extra horses hidden away that I don't know about. I'll wait until the new parts arrive, and then try them out.

    X85 Cup Racer VVT fault code

    [QUOTE="Marsch, post: 716579, member: 56653"]I've searched a bit but didn't found anything Clio related. I've found some infos in a Toyota forum which say that the actuator (servo) can get stuck but then you'd presumably get a constant error message. I'm guessing that I only get the error...

    X85 Cup Racer VVT fault code

    Thanks Martin, I'll try a couple of initial actions: 1. clean the contacts on both the solenoid valve & the camshaft position sensor. 2. remove the solenoid & check its operation when applying 12V. If neither of those identify the problem, I'll determine how to check the camshaft position...

    X85 Cup Racer VVT fault code

    It's a sealed Renault Sport engine with unmodified Cup wiring loom. Really interested to hear from someone who is, or has, run the same car and has seen this error message before.

    X85 Cup Racer VVT fault code

    I had my first track day in the Cup racer that I recently imported from the UK. An intermittent error code appeared on the display "VVT def". Is there anyone on the forum with experience of the MM ECU used on the Clio III Cup racer (or has traced this error message to a hardware or electrical...

    Cup racer accessory belt

    Is anyone able to tell me the length of the accessory belt on a Cup racer? Alternatively, a non-genuine (e.g. Gates) part # for a 5V belt to suit. Thanks

    Hi, I live in Adelaide, Australia. I've just bought a Clio R27 for my wife, and I have had a Megane 225 Cup since 2007. The other cars in my garage are a 1970 R8 Gordini and a 1971 Alpine Renault A110 1600S. I'm a member of the Ozrenaultsport forum in Australia and I hope that this forum...
