I didn't say it was better than any other RenaultSport! Though I wouldn't say that it's completely pointless either, after all it can move rubbish to the tip and take me to the shops. But there was a major benefit when it was new - the price! I like all the RenaultSport cars, and without...

Good point from admin there. You're entitled to your opinion though.

172 Cups are difficult to insure due to the lack of ABS. And you get cool as f*ck silver cup badges on the 182 cup - can't believe you'd need anymore reasons to have one!

In my eyes the aluminium bonnet version is the best 172 out there - a true homologation special.

Looks mint, how does the Clio badge come off?

Aren't OMP mild steel? IMO Mild steel exhausts always sound much, much sweeter than stainless.

Looks very nice! - What system is it?

Mine pops and crackles when I first start it up, but stops doing it after the ECU has changed to the proper map after 90 seconds or so.

Undertrays don't just stop crap getting to the engine - they can (and I'm not saying the Clio one is) be used to aid aerodynamics. Lots of modern cars have them now at the front and back to improve airflow under the car and prevent drag. 2008 Skyline below: I'm no aerodynamics expert, but I...

True, but no-one said that you shouldn't re-map after fitting an induction kit, or exhaust, or any other engine modification for that matter. And that (if done correctly) would irradicate the potential of running lean.

Quoted as being good for over 30k miles? Aren't the standard fit NGK's first due to be changed at 76k miles? If that's the case, even the NGK's at stealer prices are not bad value!

I've also had Rota wheels on my car also 16x7. What ones are they? As far as I know most (if not all) Rota wheels are available in ET45 - unless you're buying second hand? I had a caliper clearance issue on the rear wheels only, easily sorted by small spacers.

To save some cash, can't you just insure your sister for the road and then simply share the driving at the track days?

You need to post the centre bore size and width of the wheels too mate.

+1!

The dunlop sportmaxx cup would probably be a good way to go, a few Clio's in there. Mark Fish would be able to point you in the right direction, I know he works on at least one car in the championship.

The load placed on the wheel (around 250kg when stationary) will be placed entirely on the wheel bolts and not the hub - they could break.

Nothing wrong with ripping off Ferrari!

Mine's pretty loud (Orbisoud single silencer), but I wouldn't say it's the loudest - a guy posted a video of his longlife system the other day - now that was LOUD!

Remind me of Seat Ibiza alloys.

As you can tell, I don't clean much under the bonnet...

Think black was on the older cars, grey was on the newer. Mine's an '05 with grey from new.

Might be worth making a heat shield to bolt where the fuel rail gaurd used to be? Stop the rising heat from the manifold? Can't imagine it would cost much if you used some custom stuff from demon tweaks or even lifting some heat shielding from the engine bay of a scrap yard car. Just an idea.

Might be worth enquiring with Mark Fish - got mine from him ages ago.

There's always going to be arguments about whether or not induction kits actually produce real gains or not. The fact of the matter is that getting air into the engine as efficiently as possible and expelling the spent gasses as efficiently as possible is the key to maximising engine efficiency...

Sounds nice, what's the exhaust?

I'm just trying to sort my proof of no claims bonus for my next insurer. My previous insurer was Adsa and they've been more than happy to provide me with a piece of paper stating 5 years no claims, which is fine. However, I've been driving on my own insurance without a claim since I was 19, so...

I think they'd look great with black centres, but I don't think may would swallow the cost of split rims! £££

You'll need to imagine the polished lip on the first one and the black on the second one!
