    tyres for 172 cup

    I have conti's and find them ideal for all scenarios. They came with the car as OE for a reason i guess ...|The P Zeros it came on, whilst nearly new were sh1te in the damp/wet, hence i threw them in the bin. Should be able to get 4 x contis on a 195/45/16 for £280 fitted on blackcircles.com

    Tom, you just need the Recaro to clio subframes, then they will fit perfectly, just like i said in my pm :rasp:

    Anyone running an espace V6 airbox on 172/182

    I have one, removes the '4k kick' and feels like it pulls harder to the redline ... also produced 177bhp on the rolling road for reference ...

    My 172 Cup Story

    Not related to this specific car, but my Clio project actually stared in 2005 with a 6 month old Cup-Packed 182 in Racing Blue (with stripes) - i absolutely loved it, but after 19k miles in 4 months, it simply wasnt sensible lol. I replaced it with a remapped 206 hdi until i could have another...

    My 172 Cup Story

    Right, no coilovers yet lol, but i had to buy a new speed camera detector this week as my Origin B2's display decided to pack in yet again ... luckily enough Origin had an upgrade offer on. So £145 + old broken B2 = New Pogo Alert. I decided against any other brand as the database is...

    Privilege are Direct Line and as far as im aware dont allow mods if you are under 25 ... Im with Highway through Adrian Flux and neither my exhaust/filter/seats made any difference to premium. No admin fee either.

    AST review from Oulton

    In addition, different drivers prefer different setups. IIRC correctly when my housemate drove in the Seat Cupra Championship his suspension was set up totally differently to his team mates as they prefered diff handling characteristics ... So surely Fred's preference may be different to...

    Jacking point bent

    Is this a problem anyone else has faced, it would seem mine had started to bend up towards the car - distinctly unhelpful seeing as i need to do the oil this weekend - can i jack the stupid thing off the chassis rails? Amazed they bent tbh, its not like the cups heavy lol

    STOP!!

    Have you tried reading the instruction manual that comes with the car? I found mine was quite useful ;)

    If you have a jammer and you are caught, you will be bummed by the law. Probably with no lube as well :dapprove: Admittedly, this might appeal to some people that post on here, but not for me lol
