chasing 172 cup in my hybrid

[Batman]

phew

havent had the chance to compare my converted dynamique up against any other 172 until i came across a 172 cup tonight i quickly persued and he went for it off the roundabout and i was expecting him to pull away from me but i kept gaining on him! i was actually gonna overtake but decided not to risk it and not to show him what was behind him, i'm quite pleased actually as i'm fully stripped out in the rear and have a viper and magnex so it shud provide a little edge even if it is tiny, cant wait to get my carbon bonney on now, I LOVE MY CLIO!

well done mate....i gather you've dropped a 2.0 in your dynamique???? Good job there was no twisties

Its a full conversion so the Cup would have lost even in the bends (as the hybrid has more power no stupid PAS).

didnt realise PAS reduced your bhp output...wish i had done that now!!!! balls, i used to have a 1.2 clio aswell

Yep sorry for the apreviations I hate them.

 

[Pep]

im confused, why is PAS linked to power?! is this a joke im missing!?

 

[Saner]

The pump for the power assited steering takes a few of your bhp

 

[Pep]

never knew that!

but why has the hybrid not got it but the cup has, thought power steering was standard on all mk2 ph2?

 

[Saner]

erm.. I'm think it is, but taht when he had the conversion, he got rid of it!

(i'm guessing here)

 

[Pep]

o right!

fair does, suppose thats the obvious answer to a stupid question really!! man i need more sleep!

 

[Batman]

no the 1.2 has electric steering, plus i have no air con and whatever, no airbags, bucket seats, its on 172 suspension with 60mm lowering springs for a 1.2 it handles really well but i'm going to get some coilovers set up properly and some better tyres

 

[Batman]

gotta go take my gf's fiat seicento for its mot now....... i really dont like it scares the crap out of me no power steering and brakes that make the titanic look good.

[Adams_16v]

iv got no PAS, its a pain! not too bad once moving, but compared to my daily drive the steering is heavy as fuk!
