WTF? 52k miles? Have you had the rear pads checked at all? You probably wont have any rear brakes! Have you noticed the front pads are needing replaced alot more frequently? ;)

I know that... But they dont seem to last long! Its probably due to the design of the turinis as well which let the elements get to the disks more than they would on the normal 172. When my car is out of warranty these definitely would be the first thing i'd upgrade... Some brembos with...

Are u renault salesman by any chance? Exactly the sort of comment I got off them! And you should know that the front brakes take most of the braking bias and they are only 10% worn! Fraser

when the car is in gear with plenty of throttle! ;)

Oh and excuse me while I sew my split sides back up! hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa.... ;)

Thanks for your constructive advice! Any 172 cup owners had this problem?

Has anyone else had problems with bad corrosion on the disks of a 172 cup, (particularly the back)? Ive just had the rear disks replaced under warranty as one of them cracked when driving after 10000 miles and they are already in a bad state! Its just been in for a service and they are saying...

Chris how much have you lowered your 172 by? I would like mine sitting at that height. Is it on coilovers? Nice anyway Cheers fraser

With that sort of power you will need upgraded brakes, tyres at least! I get excessive wheelspin with a std 172 cup, I wouldnt like to see how much you will get with 250bhp min! Wheelspin at 80mph in 5th anyone? And I would probably invest in a decent lsd to help get some of the power down...

So what youre saying is the cup is the better model then? ;)

I ordered one from halfrauds at £99 but have been waiting over a month for the clip for the dashboard! Shocking! Fraser

Oh rite I know where you are... I dont know if uv seen the 360 spider in silver near you but the owner pulled up beside me at the lights at anniesland, looked at me, smiled, and revved the engine. What a noise! I revved mine and he laughed at me! Wouldnt mind that as a trade in! Fraser

On drymen road just before the railway station going up to the cross. Ive seen the guy driving he looks in his early 30's. Lucky guy! Fraser

Thats the guy that lives down the road from me. I saw it pulling out the drive with that plate on it. Fraser

Rory I cant see what car it is though when it going at 150! haha

I dont think it could have been me as im in work in bishopbriggs for 8.45am in the morning. And i wasnt skiving yesterday! Fraser

Oh and when was this? Yesterday? (Tues) And what time roughly?

That does sound like me! Oh dear Im a bit slow spotting people! What car were you driving? Was the end of the plate you saw "fcd"? If so then it was me! And did it have a cliosport sticker in the rear window? Anyway sorry for blanking you if it was me! Oh and rory I never see you cos you are...

He lives at the bottom of my street I think, stunning colour on a stunning car!

Shell garage at anniesland a couple of nights ago and drymen road in bearsden. Looks nice! I wonder if the owner would like a swap!!

I've just seen this exhaust on ktecs site and it looks quite good. Would 172 owners fit this or prefer one of the stealth exhausts or different style? I think I'd go for one! http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1560

Not sure but a diff would definitely help with traction! Nice! Must be able to get close to a sub 6 sec 0-60 time with one of these!

Just seen this on ktecs website! http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1792&pic=2 Dont know if its been posted b4 but I want one! Must really help with traction off the line and cornering! What do people think of the price? £850 + vat? Cheers Fraser

Ive spotted a mk2 V6 over the last couple of days in my area. Anyone on here? It looks about twice the width of my 172 cup. Nice! Cheers Fraser

What time? Im in glasgow quite a bit. If it was a 6ft6 guy driving then it was me! Fraser

If it was yesterday (thurs) then I dont think it was me! I was still at work at that time! But I will spot you one of these days, you must go too fast for me to see! haha Anyway have a happy xmas and new year! Cheers Fraser

That power would be a waste in a fwd car. Rear wheel drive at least! Would it fit into a clio v6 engines bay?

What is that not a good suggestion? ;)
