    The £1k Clio 172 Cup

    Strange. I’ve not really been keeping a close eye. I roughly know where the market is at but not the specific cars. They are definitely something I would consider long term. Still presenting a lot of fun per £ even for something around £5-6k.

    The £1k Clio 172 Cup

    Sold the Subaru last year. Needed something remotely sensible as a family chariot…!

    The £1k Clio 172 Cup

    Thanks mate. It’s been an amazing car, so much fun has been had in it. It’s starting to need a little love again, the rust has been slowed down but will need a proper repair at some point should i decide to do it. All year round use has its drawbacks but gives me more time, miles and...

    The £1k Clio 172 Cup

    Been too long but fear not, the £1k Cup lives on. Which is more than I can say about the **** rabbit that popped out in front of it. 185’500 on the clocks now and still running sweet. Wonder if there is a higher miler out there?

    Coolant dropping rapidly

    Hi guys, Clio is dropping coolant. Had a look underneath and this appears to be the source. Whatever it is, it seems to be disintegrating! For the non mechanically minded, what is it?!

    The £1k Clio 172 Cup

    Hi mate, hope all is well and your Cup is going grand! Yes I’m loving having another Impreza. So much character, fast and fun to drive. I was very fortunate in the circumstances to find this one. Been looked after and had a lot spent. Just needs gold wheels :-)

    The £1k Clio 172 Cup

    Been a while! Car still going great and will hit 172k in the next few weeks. Will need to give this thread a proper update but needless to say, I finished off the rear quarter and after a couple of attempts got it looking half decent. I’ll get a pro job done on it at some point but not...

    Giving a 172 Cup some TLC

    Just seen this thread. Cracking car, great job you have done on it. Your exhaust sits exactly like mine and mine was only done last week.

    aftermarket steering wheel on the 200 cup

    Definitely make sure you get a genuine one for safety reasons.

    Will I destroy my lovely Clio Cup ????

    I love the idea of it but I can’t help but feeling that if you will worry about reliability and big bills then it’s better to stay N/A or move to a Megane R26 which gives you the turbo, 6 speed and LSD for probably the cost to change that the conversion would cost. I had a Subaru P1 for a few...

    Back in a mk2 clio rs

    Yeah I would give it a decent try first before changing and having hassle with moving the seats back and forth etc

    Cracking looking car. Hang in there with the driving position, I’m 6’5” and have grown to love it for some reason ha.

    The £1k Clio 172 Cup

    Thanks Colin. Strips were very easy. To remove them, open the door and push them back towards the door edge. If that doesn’t work there is a small grommet just inside the door that sits behind the strip and can be used to access and push it out. Sanded and then primed. My bullets weren’t keen...

    The £1k Clio 172 Cup

    New back box on. Sounds great and is tucked up nicely behind the bumper. Couple more coats of base on the door and clear coated. Will leave it for a couple of days before sanding and polishing. Fingers crossed for some shine! Door strips and bullets done. Bit more work on the filler on...

    The cup

    Cracker and you’ve not wasted any time on it! Impressive progress.

    The £1k Clio 172 Cup

    Time for a wee update. Car is still going strong and has now ticked over 165k. Still makes me turn round to look at it after parking up. I’ve decided to grab a few bits and pieces and try and improve it a bit in the last few weeks: - alloy foot rest - new rear licence plate lamp - ‘Clio’ mats...

    Just picked her up today from DTM Cars (Newcastle)

    Congrats. Looks cracking. Still got an itch for a 200. What are DTM like? Always seem to have some nice Renaults in.

    Clio 172 cup "clubsport"

    Cheers for that. You’ve done well then! Mine came with a KTEC stealth which disintegrated and I think I’m on my second going on third mild steel one since....

    Clio 172 cup "clubsport"

    Car is looking so good! You’ve taken it some way over the last few years. Belts due on mine so I’ll be heading over to see Barrie and the team shortly too. PS what exhaust have you got? It’s nice and tucked away. Mine is a horrible Karina pattern one which sits low and is now blowing 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Iceberg Phase 2 172- Bit of a Hooligan

    Cracking car and right decision to purchase. Lucky we are up north and too far for some to travel! Lots of happy times ahead with two clios in the family!

    High performance pads that still cope on the road.

    That’s the setup I’ve got on mine Mossy. I can’t speak for track but on the road they are fantastic. Sometimes a little squeal but mostly silent.

    The £1k Clio 172 Cup

    In true me fashion, not a massive update! Car going well and enjoying its very quiet life these days. Just ticked over 160k in it. Wind caught the door and slammed into my house, causing a fairly nasty dink and paint damage. Decided to give it a crack this week. Very pleased with the results...
