Great car for the money, but have you thought about an import 172 for £12,000 and you still have the Renault 3yr warranty? Still dont like the idea of no ABS on a car with that performance.

Last night i raced my mates cup......guess what? its a little bit faster WOW, there we go folks the great debate is over. He was about 4 mtr ahead of me after 4th gear, its such a small gap on the road it seems to be a rip off when Renault try to market the car as the fastest Clio. Fine go...

Call me stupid (set myself up there ;)), but if i had spent £1200 on head work I would really want a before and after on my choice of RR? There must be someone whos done this, L.A.D have said there quite happy to do this.

Yeah like i said thats the only way you can be sure, with all these conversions going on there must be a few around? Has anyone raced a CUP/172 thts quicker than it should be?

Try some grease, if that dont work go see a pro?

Its about time someone had em them? A simple before and after on a RR is all it would take. I have seen an article about a guy who has a 106 with some L.A.D work done, on a K&N rolling road he was showing 109 bhp instead of the 130bhp the L.A.D work should of produced! But as it was a K&N...

All I would say is just because benR has said it cant be done thats it, no offence to BenR, he sounds like he knows what hes on about, but im sure L.A.D would be in trouble over this by now. If I paid them £1200 and there was no improvment i would have em, there is laws protecting people from...

Well all i can say is SHOCKING! My Mk2 172 (5 months old-5000mls) has most of the above problems. Why oh why cant a company cabable of building a car! (f**k off) fix rattling plastic and lose bits of metal. These faults have being there since day one, after 3 odd years Renault still cant fix...

Not sure but I have heard that when Renault service the car they wipe the ecu, set it back to standard. So this takes out the Re-programming from Superchips? Anyone know any more about this?

Thats for the Mk2 172 :oops:

Anyone got and thoughts on this? Seen one fitted etc etc.

I cant understand this 20% crap, its just another scam. When was the last time you had to pay 20% towards the repair of a TV because you switched it on!!! Its weird just how close EVOs 172 (Mk 2) is to mine, its a good idea for anyone thinking of getting one to have a long read of it, very...

Does this all depend on how much extra flow your induction kit and exhaust give, i really dont belive the standard Renault kit is that sh*t to be honest, maybe im wrong? The only noticable improvements i have ever done to my motors involve chips.

Come on guys, you would be lying if you said Renault has a good reputation for build quality. LOL. They rattle and bang and clonk.....the 172s do go like f**k though (as long as you rev the nuts off it), so as long as you dont mind the odd bang, lose seat, slipping clutch etc etc there ok...

CTRs are good, 172/Cups are good..... shut up and talk about something more interesting. Did you notice how Autocar didnt mention about the Cup having crap brakes this time thay hammered it on a track? LOL Oh and the CTR has gone from Zero to Hero? what the f**k are they on about, talk about...
