My Cup was there on Sunday :) I can't see the pics but it obviously isn't mine as it was'nt there Saturday! As I left on Sunday there was a Liquid Yellow 182 with black wheels (Bubbles?) and a silver 172 making their way out the car park too.

What do you mean? - the exact same thing?

Yeah that curb is massive! :eek: Silly bint should'nt have parked there though :rolleyes:

I've noticed that when driving Peperami's Cup. The blips feel really good. Mine is by no means suffocated (sports exhaust and cat) but his with the decat is spot on.

My thinking too tbh. But I can see the attraction.

I'll bet. Another couple of cylinders is all good too! Watching that vid Ali posted a week or two ago of him on track; the noise was immense.

I dunno it definately helps to avoid un-balancing the car when pressing on (or perhaps thats driving like a loon!). I like the extra smoothness even when driving normally too.

Yep. Worth it for the noise too. Want to learn to heel and toe properly one day.

Go on my son! I'll pass you the spanners ;)

You must either get some very cheap petrol or are not running the Clio to anywhere near empty. The tank is 50 litres.

Mine always does that. I just ignore it and fill up approx 40 miles from when the light comes on. Hav'nt run out yet (touch wood), the least I've ever run it down to is about 7 litres. That readout is really usefull the way it goes blank just as you start to approach filling up time. Not!

134 GPS is my PB. (I hold the record on Ralph Wiggums sat nav - get in! :D ) Still had more to come, need to bounce it off the limiter one day.

I doubt it. By all accounts his car was pretty damn fast! It was a racing incident. Norris has put his hands up and admitted blame. Whats the big deal? As others have said theres only a big fuss because of who he is. ETA it was an impressive smash though!

That is pretty horiffic Mark! Mine started to go last summer. I've just chucked an old t-shirt over the wheel whenever its parked in the sun and the thumb grips hav'nt got any worse. The top of the wheel has started to crack this summer though. But f**k it. I did'nt buy the car for the lovely...

Dunno mate. Word of warning though I've heard that the 182 system they do isn't as good as the 172 systems (may even lose power :eek: ). This by no means proven fact, just make sure you do some research before taking the plunge.

Sorry, £300 for cat back. (I'll double check the reciept later too)

£300 fitted IRRC. Think stealths are a tad cheaper as they don't have to cut the bumper. Come to think of it I do have a clip of me overtaking a mate. Its does'nt demonstrate how quiet it can be...more what it sounds like full bore at 6000rpm :evil: I'll PM you it later.

Nice one! You local then?

:cool: I am very happy with it. The K-tec stealth I had before was too boomy around 3000rpm(this is coupled with a sports cat btw). Basically I told Charlie at Prospeed I wanted an exhaust that was'nt too boomy in normal driving - and he delivered. It gets slightly louder once its hot but...

Re: I don't f**king believe it Maybe it died of embarassment because of that car-bra

Just remembered this! Spotted going into town about 10am. Gave me a headlight flash; made me feel all warm inside :approve: Who was it?

Thats very good on Mikes part. Top man! :approve: Renault are taking the absolute piss, hope he gets his money back for the new engine.

Thought the title was 'Clio Cup in hedge' for a second there! Would'nt have surprised me...

Edited for accuracy

I heard of this happening in a Cooper S recently

"and if you know your Clio's you will know al this anyway" Oh really? :lolup:

Does the 197 have a spare wheel as standard? Deleting that will be a nice saving (until you get a puncture of course!) RE deleting the a/c - aside from the weight saving there is also no drain on the engine powering it (which is why 172 Cups tend to perform well on RRs' compared to 172FF I...

Most likely its your decat. Its the cat which reduces the toxic fumes coming out of your exhaust btw! ;) I was a bit worried my sports cat had stopped functioning properly when my light came on.

Mine came on the other day. No nasty smell or affect on how it drove. Pretty sure it came on when the bracket on the middle section of my exhuast snapped off - think it just tweaked the lambda sensor when it went. Got my friend Ralph Wiggum to hook up his diagnostic box (think thats what...

Exactly. White is the new black (or something ;) ). Have you ever seen a Focus ST in white? Looks really good
