Clio 172 Cup Underside Restoration [Part 1]

[@ricomartin8278]

Looks awesome dude

[@dickie8184]

Great job. After looking under mine last year, It's definitely something I want to do to my 182.

Do you know the part number for the 172 cup stub axle

[@TrackItYT]

Ah beam looking super super pretty. Love it! Stub axles were easy to take off because I had them off after getting major scrubbing at Bedford 😂

[@ChristopherGower]

Haha that explains it! Compared to the stub axles on the beam that came off of the car, they were a dream to get off.

Dude, this playlist from your Clio RS is really cool; I'm from Brazil and here we didn't have Clio RS, but I'm in love with him. Here, enthusiasts convert the Clios Dynamique 1.6 into Clio RS, importing many parts from Europe. I just accessed your channel and I'm really enjoying this playlist.

[@ChristopherGower]

Thank you Lucas. Really appreciate it. I know of the Brazil Clio RS Scene from Facebook and on here. Always cool to see what others are up to around the world!

@@ChristopherGower Thanks for answering! I'm following you here and now on Instagram.

Looks good and it’s probably a better solution to paint the rear beam, as opposed to powder coating, as with the latter the corrosion just comes back. Did you use any converters to stabilise the steel prior to applying the Cold Galv Spray?

[@kikkilinu]

Stupid question you may be able to answer. Would these axles fit on a standard 65hp 1.5dCi Clio without having to change the brake booster, since I'd be going from drum to disk? I ask because I've been considering refurbing my rear axle and was wondering if I could source an axle with rear discs instead

[@badusername4]

What was your way of capping the lines whilst restoring to stop the oil going everywhere? Cheers

[@ChristopherGower]

I'll be honest, because I was using new braided lines for the rear I just clamped a set of molegrips on the old rubber ones until I changed them!

[@css172]

Your video quality is very professional. That rear beam and ARB look brand new. I've subbed and following your restoration looking forward to part 2. Are you going to be refreshing your engine bay too?

[@ChristopherGower]

Thank you! Part 2 is in the works. Definitely. If things go to plan, I have a spare engine that i'd like to rebuild - so an entire overhaul is on the cards!

@@ChristopherGower Great stuff!

[@iamdenioz]

Nice!:)

[@petermport]

Stop calling it a Arb it is called a A.R.B short for Anti Roll Bar

[@ChristopherGower]

Cool
