Awesome cars, anything after a 'c4' so 1984 handles well, transverse leaf springs, 1g cornering ablility accoring too the of the time reviews. Under powered untill 92 when they got the LT-1 though
Mine doesn't 'whistle' at any speed, abit of tire roar at above 70, but that's about it. £2000 sounds like top money for a non cup 172 to me. Loads of imaculate ones without kurbed wheels etc for that on eBay/ Pistonheads
I just turned 19, and tbh going to various car parks too meet friends due to the novelty of new freedom is a novelty and wore of within about 6 months. Would much prefer too sit inside with mates now. Not all young people are the same, and there is no point in deliberatly baiting police to pull...
Had my 172 Cup for a few months now, very happy with it coming from a 306 GTI-6. Performs better in everyway IMO, but i do miss the gear ratio's of the pug lol
Standard FTW, just had mine done:

As a side thought for the money of a 200, surely you could get BMW M3, Honda S2000, or Astra VXR and still have change left over. All of which would feel faster?
So just out of interest what is the real life 0-60 and 0-100 times for a 172 cup? When fifth gear had a trophy vs a 197 on track and the 197 was faster. There looked to be nothing in it on the straights, so why the slower acceleration figures here?
Same friend also says 'warming up a car makes no difference and im being stupid' and 'why would you check your oil so often?' I check it twice a month :/
I have a Clio 172 Cup, have a friend with a 1.2 5 door. Always informing me and anyone we meet together we have 'the same car'. But hers is better because it has a sunroof. Anoying to say the least lol
I normally get between 32-34, but taking it easy ish today i got 40mpg out of my 172 Cup. All according to the computor, so not that accurate but still a good sugestion lol
Yer pretty chuffed with it, goes about the same as the 306, but has abit more low down grunt and feels lighter on its feet. Dubby, just looked on your profile, you work for Costa, and so do I haha. Whats your real name, inevitably going to know someone you know or visa versa lol. What part of...
Hi, been a member of the site for a while now. Sold my 306 Gti-6 a few weeks back and bought myself a Clio 172 Cup about 2 weeks ago, thought it was about time to post. The car was from Southampton and seems to have been a forum members car. Anyone recognise it? Has K-Tec stealth stainless...
