ive owned both i know, you dont.
I was under the impression the front discs were larger on the cup. its more stable as it has 40mm wider track and is lower than the 172 fullfat thats not talking out of my arse m8 there facts.
fliud means less weight when changing direction and the suspension...
funnily a mild usage of fairy liquid (and i do mean mild lol) in luke warm water can get grease/oil of alloys and brings out a sparkle (as there are cleaning agents within fairy/dish stuff that are designed just to create reflection shine etc..) just dont over do it.
my cup get washed once a...
.... havent read all this. although i have owned both MKII 172 and MKII 172 cup so i know about them both
there both great cars for the price, theres no question about which one is technically quicker although driver/real car output (reno`s fluctuate on power)/luggage/driver weight/ fuel type...
150bhp is a lot for a car of its time let alone its type, bet it shifts.
they look great, and TBH even though that shape clio is cheap now i have seen only 1 valver in my town (a chav town) and it was a cliosport.net member although he didnt reply to my spotted.. if your in selby and on...
^ weird they usually nick scooby`s / landrovers for this task for all weather and off road ability
maybe the 182 clio is better now as its discreet and can pretty much keep pace with a scooby wrx
just feels good to drive mostly down to acurate turn in and lightness you feel like your driving very much like the first crappy lightweight cars you own, only this one goes round corners better and has 170bhp
youl get your scratches sorted m8, they will never get there life sorted its the only thing they can think to do, dont know why there is such a continuous culture of car keying is it in a 50`cent song or something ?
i have to agree, im coming round to the looks honestly i think its not bad at all very subtle not OTT VXR type styling which should keep it out of the eyes of barryboys and more low key just like first 172 did.
but as for everything else your right. autocar have done a full test i read it...
ooh must add a MKII 172 being very early for the build mite be worse certainley 5yrs of hard driving on a £12k clio may also tarnish your view on reliability. also my old nxt door neighbour loves messing around with his race prepped classic e-type jag its part of the hobby i know most people...
your a git, clear dubia roads at 95mph ! you want a lodger ?
adtmits you can only claim to beat me on lengh of purchase as I was given a 225 testmule (with 205hp at the time) by reno
do i win i did 40k miles in my first 172 in 20months !!!
both clio RS ive owned havent ever gone below 36mpg average and im no granny driver. i have seen 43mpg in the cup when driving like a stiff
i was two days from placing an order on a meganesport im waiting for the 250bhp version early nxt year hopefully it will have those funky new Recaro CS seats in aswell
your gunna die ! my cup is straight and true but i wouldnt wanna be going 100+ for very long as its get a bit buffety with shotwheel base and lightweight it can jump around too much, if yours has problems as mentioned above get it checked out or you could end up in an early grave, im not...
^ lol it is safer, better built more expensive material.
194bhp 1240kg (excluding driver) still fast but how does the 40kg of down force from diffuser affect accelaration at 100mph + to the massive and dizzying 134mph top speed ?
its almost identical to mondeo St200 pace (not st220) as a...
in truth my last 172 had climate and it was great although not very powerfull in really hot weather just enough but not silly cold. i dont miss it now i have a cup because now i have a cup !
also its 19deg today and raining in york. it will fluctuate all year round, id rather have the handling...
do people not listen to me ive already posted a website link for a tuner of dci 100`s that gain 127bhp "130ps" with a tuningbox and 129bhp with green filter fitted
sigh
is it me or is the old adage of being a gentalman and treating women like ladies completley fooked, i mean a lot of women dont act in any way like they deserve respect anymore there no different from men in that respect if your treated harshley by one do the right thing and dont let them get...
