    Back in a Valver? Hmmm

    Looks like it. I'd love to own something silly like that when I grow up :cool: Have to lose those lights and wheels though.

    My cup has no front splitter

    They did come as standard but were fitted at the dealership (sometimes they did'nt bother)

    My homemade attempt at weighing my Cup...

    Ha Ha! You joker! :clown: Did you have the back seats folded down?

    what handles better?

    Do silver and flame red Clios handle better then? The Cup is a piece of s**t? :quiet: Have a word!

    Sometimes we all forget

    Yeah, yeah.........but the 172 Cup is still the daddy! ;) Good thread Ian. The other day I re-read the Evo review where the Cup smacked it against the Focus RS, Cooper S and Impreza WRX. It is interesting to read how the RS Clios' were recieved when they came out. But aside from what the...

    unbalanced car?

    Or you could move your seat further back so you're sitting in the boot ;)

    unbalanced car?

    It will obviously be more tail happy than a non-strippd Clio. Won't the roll cage go some way to keeping some weight over the rear axel? I suppose you're looking at similar weight distribution to the old Clio Cup racers; not like they had any trouble keeping them on the track..........:S

    using a 172 as a getaway car

    I think if you stayed off the motorway and knew what you were doing - maybe it would work. Trouble is you'd need at least 3 guys to pull off the raid, so with them, their shooters and all the money the poor old Clio is going to be weighed down a bit. My car feels significantly slower 3 up than...

    Nearly lost it today!

    What is this necking you speak of? Spot on with the rest of that post. Agree that using power to pull out of a slide could make things worst if you don't know what you're doing (hence why I've never tried it! although I hope I'd have the presence of mind to do it if I had too). The one time...

    Dave, Topgear, Mark 1 v Mark 2, regrets

    Hmmm....I can think of a few other ways to spend £20k on a car with a sense of occasion! At least you enjoyed it.

    Russ 16v's Cup Road Racer Blog.

    Is it? I've just read a load of crap about GDI v Ben R on a previous page. Amusing as it is it detracts from the thread. ben_p - hats off to you for this mate. Just read the thread from start to finish. Amazed at the amount of work (and cash!) you've put into this. Awesome project :cool:

    172 Cup - Noisy Tickover

    Mine ticks like that once hot. I assume it is the charcoal canister like others have said.

    FAO 172 Cup owners who have track prep'd their cars

    Does that mean its over? :(

    Cup gearbox in a FULL fat 172? Good mod??

    Subways V6 - seriously considering it

    Think he got a bit more than he bargained for!

    Subways V6 - seriously considering it

    Its a crap analogy. It would only work if in the past I had bought a cat D car from Subway without being aware. Then I found out. And then I went back and bought another car from him. Simple as that.

    Subways V6 - seriously considering it

    LOL! Thats not the same thing. And I can't be bothered to explain it to you

    Subways V6 - seriously considering it

    I'd say another critical thing when looking at a Cat D is how much the resale value will be and how long you intend to keep it. If you intend to keep the car for a long time resale value probably matters less due to normal depreciation.

    Petrol gauge

    Mine does that. Stupid gauge

    Subways V6 - seriously considering it

    See my 'Bit of a mug' comment. Thing is if people were honest there would be no need for the HPI check. At the end of the day though the OP started this thread knowing full well the car is cat D. So there was'nt really a need to drag Subways name through the mud again!

    Subways V6 - seriously considering it

    How would you feel if you found out your car was cat D and you'd paid full whack for it? Pissed off? Bit of a mug? or Thats ok, he was only trying to make money?
