Im sorry you have to forgive me im not mechanically minded, but the codrod idea would seem to suggest that its a complete engine replacement?

Hey guys sorry if its in the wrong section but need advice.... On way home tonight under normal driving conditions on a typical b road I experienced a very loud bang/explosion from the front of the car followed by the cabin filling up instantly with black smoke, dash lighting up and power...

Hey guys, looking to buy this... Ferodo DS2500 Clio 172 / 182 Front Brake Package inc. Moquip Braided Hoses Question is will the above work/fit be compatible with a 172cup?

ello! :)

Hey Tay, I loved the LCR from the performance point of view, its very good, but in all fairness it was just to practical and a bit boring, I have decided to go back to my old 172cup as twisties and sound from the mods i have done is smile making, will miss the perfomance though in a straight line.

Been a little while since i posted here, managed to keep my 172cup and had the enjoyment of driving a LCR for the past few months but im simply not happy, im going to go back to my cup, its simply more fun!!! will miss the power though the 225 engine provides, I appreciate if i wanted similar...

Hey Guys, Well after moving over to the Seat LCR 225 from my beloved 172cup, im homesick and have decided to try and move back, will be looking to get a vee, (money dictates phase1 only) can anyone advise is there is any known problems with the 2001 phase 1 models that I need to be aware of...

Well, I have now got both cars, and to be honest the clio has the slight edge in perfomance upto 45ish past that though the seat seems to eat the road up, handling wise feels very similar, just a little bit heaveier, suppose if my clio wasnt modified then the differences would be more apprent...

cheers Ian, gonna see if i can get a sale in meh local auto trader ala

As above ... I posted in the wrong forum I applogise; but now its been moved to 'other marquees' i can no longer post, as not being a paid member. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=249210 Its a shame some of the posts are so agressive though, thanks to all those who gave thier...

cheers Gaz, really tempted.

so, how does a standard 20v turbo coupe compare to a lightly modded clio 172cup (remap/ik/inlets)

bump...anyone?

Hi Nigel, many thanks for posting, their is a yellow coupe sat just up the road from me day in day out and im now fighting the urge to rob it.. :), i currently have a 172cup with usal mods, remap,inlets,ik +caf and looking at the costs to bring my car up any more simply cannot be justified...

aye im liking what im seeing :) just finding one with similar or better milage

Stick with my 02 172cup with Inlet + Remap + IDK 50k on clock or get SEAT leon Cupra R 225bhp what you guys reckon, just want more umpf / accleration / power!!!! :)

for the 90 bend go hill power (www.hillpower.co.uk) for the cold air feed try (http://www.auto-performance.co.uk) if you get caf go for a little bigger diameter () i got 76mm and it was a very very very tight fit which required cutting the supporting wire circles to fit, for 80ish
