Welcome! I hope you enjoy the clio. I have just recently sold my 306 rallye and bought a 172 cup. Im loving it apart from the lack of noise, which the 306 had!
Oh i bet you wish you had sold it to me when i wanted to buy it before i bought my cup matey!
Somebody give this car a good home, it truly is mint, it has been really well looked after. Gib spends more time faffing and cleaning and polishing this car than he does with his GF, lol !
I did a 3 hour drive up to Newcastle, reset the the computer in my cup before i set off, filled up when i got there and checked the mpg figures. The car said i was doing 41mpg, the calculator said 33. Whats the crack there then? How does the car work out how much fuel it has used?
Thanks for the comments! :-) She is a belter and i dont really want to sell, but my cup ive just bought was local, mint and a good price so i could do with shifting the rallye on. Or get my mrs to get a job really near to home and sell her car so we can keep the pug lol
Here is my Pistonheads for my 306 Rallye if anyone is interested in one :cool:

Thanks for looking
Awesome pics rex! You certainly have a good eye for a pic.
Post 5, 3rd pic, this bend is just below the aberystwyth mountain road isnt it? Heading towards the reservoirs in the Elan valley? Did you drive down that road as far as the big set of double s-bends ? Mucho fun was had by myself st...
Kriss yeah the eskdale green to broughton is birker moor, i love that road lots! I drove it last weekend and the road you speak of upto coniston last weekend just for the hell of it ha. The bit between hardknott and wrynose has gotta be one of the best there is!
I had a spy on that there...
I live in Ulverston over near Barrow, oh yeah i like kirkstone, it would be brilliant early in the morning when its quiet! I like the moor roads over this way, such as kirkby moor, birker moor, corney fell, woodland fell, wrynose, dont know if your familiar with any of them?
Im trying to sort...
That is so nice! I wish i could have afforded one. Fancy coming for a blast over to the lakes in a few weeks??

Ah very good guide there Jim.
I have a couple of questions , it would be much appreciated if anyone could enlighten me!
Whats the best way to strip the old paint off of a set of Turini's?
Should the paint and lacquer be baked on ideally afterwards?
Does anyone have a paint code for the original...
I took her out again today for a blast on some of the lake district back roads, oh im in love with her!!!
The cup is soaking up "Britains best view" there in the last one .
I had some fun today, and had a wee blast along with a Fabia vrs as well.
All is going well, the car feels very...
I thought i would post up a few pics of my new cup. I picked it up yesterday and i am loving it!
I cleaned her up today and went for a spin, and bumped into some of her siblings on the way .......
Now judging by the angle of the magic tree in the last pic, it looks as though...
Yes this is what i am liking a lot about the cup. 40 mpg should be possible on a motorway run should it? with high 30's as an average if driven sensibly? Oh i cant wait until friday!!!!!!!!
Rallye will maybe do 30 mpg if it is driven by my mother, lol, and more like 25 when im going to work in...
Oh that is very nice! Lowered one notch and 35mm at the front?? Mine is bog standard bar k and n panel filter, but it is a beast. Still puts a big smile on my face!!!! Should i really sell it, or keep both? lol :D ;)
What do you think of the cup compared to the rallye? Ive driven gib172's cup a...
Yeah i am the new owner, Hello to you all lol. I suspect that we will be spending next saturday cleaning her up Gib and farting about taking some pics, so ill do a thread then :-) then maybe we will take it for a blast, against the rallye !
A clio cup with a rallye gear box would be awesome lol, through 1st and 2nd its pretty damn close, even though this little beast of a cup has 30bhp more than my rallye.
