Probably been written up before (?)... I've just got the latest issue of Autocar, and thay time, in both wet and dry conditions, the Trophy against a Golf GTi, Astra VXR, and Fiesta ST. In the dry, the difference was only a second or so (in favour of the Clio) over the other three, but in...

Not sure if these should be in here? If a mod thinks otherwise please move it. Anyway here goes, was a fantastic day, and we had 14 competitors running up to 6 times each through the sprint, with some informal drag-racing to round the day off. The weather was kind to us, and the competition...

A frustrating p***k in a Cossie ruined TomS's session, he just would not move or lift :mad: , but then I finally managed a clear full lap mid afternoon...I've timed it at around 1:30 :) Had a better session later on, but my battery was dead as I left the thing running while changing wheels...

Finally managed to catch a shot of me with one wheel up...but it was the AO32's that made me do it LOL. Had a really good day at Castle Combe on Friday, met a couple of forum users for the first time, and big thanks to TomS who helped me in my time of need (see the last picture :( ).

F***ing pissed right off :@ Stupid question I think, but, are locking wheel nut keys the same for all 172/182s? Ive been running around like a madman all week getting ready for Castle Combe tomorrow, and I thought Id chuck the new front pads in before my Wife got home. No problem there...

Ive come around to them now...I think they look great! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/MarkCup/100_3463.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/MarkCup/100_3464.jpg

...didnt there used to be a sticky in here with a load of details written by Jon_r? Wheres it gone? Or was I imagining it?

Anyone...? Theyre destined for track use only, cause Im fed up with not being able to spot myself amongst 10 other blue MK2s in pics from RS trackdays. I thought these would make it a little easier. Now Im not so sure... http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/MarkCup/100_3442.jpg

Anyone have any experience of these? Can one be fitted to a 172 Cup? Id be looking for adjustment NS to OS on the fronts only...

If youve got an RS Clio with traction control...when the weather goes all s*** like it is now...do you just bury the throttle in the carpet and let the TCS sort everything out for you? Does TC make you a worse driver beacause you become used to the safety net always being there, as opposed to...

...f****** useless piece of Renault sh*te. Theres a light, centre of the top row of the central group of warning lights between speedo/rev counter, its small, round and red. I normally only see this blinking away when the cars locked...but today it flashes very fast when Im turning the key...

Had a great run this morning. Warm, dry, bright, but oddly there was quite a bit of traffic about. Well have to start the next run at 0600 :devilish: My roadkill :( http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/MarkCup/Breakie%20Run%202005-06-05/100_3032.jpg...

Tonight I had the dream drive home, there seemed to be a lull in the traffic everywhere I went, and almost every roundabout was mine. It reminded me of why I love this car so much and will never sell it :D After 36k miles and 18 months theres not one thing Id change about it. I seem to have...

Well, not really versus as in racing, we were just having a play about, trying to get a little out of shape and catch it all on camera. Two clips, each approx. 20mb and about 5 mins long, with the camera facing... http://crowspeed.net/videos/rensportbrands/MarkCup_clip01.wmvForwards...

Here it is then...my attempt at a short film. It could (should) have been a bit longer, but I got carried away on the sprints, drag races, and with everything else. Freebone, Clarkie, thanks again. http://crowspeed.net/videos/airfield2/Airfield%202005-05-01.wmvWARNING 30MB [Edited by...

At the request of a few people Ive pulled together all usable clips I had of when I was following other Clios, Mole and his Evo or his pal in his 325. http://deadboyfriend.com/markbriggs/video/172Red.wmv172 Red http://deadboyfriend.com/markbriggs/video/172Silver1.wmv172 Silver 1...

Had a NIP for doing 41mph in a 30mph limit. I thought "B******s! Why didnt the b2 warn me/I see it? Hold on, West Yorkshire...last Friday morning...Ive must have been cloned as I was at work". Turns out the reg no. was wrong...it read his N at the end as my W. Be sure before signing a NIP...

Recently purchased an Origin B2 from Has 16v which arrived on Friday as promised. Was nicely packaged and sent Special Delivery insured for £500. 1st impressions with the kit were; nicely built and put together lots of useable features straightforward to install (with the cable...

On my way in this morning... 19,997 19,998 19,999 20,000 (sniff) Its not a teenager anymore...should I start treating it with some respect?!

Having got my first track day out of the way...I need to book another up. It would be good to meet up with some other like-minded Clio owners so... Any suggestions for a track? Anyone else have any trackdays already booked? Mark

Ive got a couple of visible chips on my bonnet now, only through the Mondial Blue, down to the primer. No exposed metal on show. I got a touch up pack from Renault (paint + lacquer) but have never done anything like this before (never given a flying-f*** on any of my cars before). Anyone...

Ive been practicing holding the Cup on the point of lock-up recently (traffic and road conditions permitting of course :)), and have pushed passed that point to see how it responds and feels once it has locked. Each and every time Ive locked up its been the nearside front, never any of the...

...believe your trip computer...42 miles to go my arse! P***ing rain, howling wind, no coat, and already running late it just died at 85mph, outside lane. Hazards on, cut across front of an HGV, and managed to coast to the slip road without getting rear-ended by 250,000 cans of Heineken. No...

...almost crunched this morning. Mini-roundabout...bugger all coming...and going less than 10mph...understeered like I was on...well...ice oddly enough...straight towards the kerb...but the front bit at the last minute and it pulled round nicely. Sh*t myself, bearing in mind all the other...

Is anyone running a full set of these on a Cup? Im not talking about the Exalto2s you get on the new 182... Mark

Havent been on the forum for a few days so was expecting the flood of 182 threads (following the Evo review)...makes for some very entertaining reading ;) What I picked up from the article (think it was the Evo one...may have been somewhere else) was that there were probably plans originally...

If so...how long did it take? Did you have any problems? Ive printed off Frostys guide which seems straighforward enough, and Ive got all the required tools, but Ive only got 90mins between meetings this afternoon, and being late for the second meeting is not an option!
