Im not too bad with the ol paintshop jobie so take this clio http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1052428306__172-9.jpghttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1052428306__172-9.jpg add a few mods here and there..............

Its has the old s3 engine and it therefore easily tunable to 260-270 bhp and about 300lb/ft torque with just a ecu remap from aMD.

I thought the the superchip for the 172s was an ECU remap done on a rolling road, which means it would be setup to your car and would take advantage of whatever mods you had. I beleive Roamer had this done.

Yeah, Ive given a ST170 a good roasting a while back. Rolling start at traffic lights to go onto a dual carriage way. Booted in 2nd, and pulled several car lengths by 80mph. Slowed down for a round about and did well to keep up until I booted it on exit. Yesterday, had a tussle with a new...

...Then add either new suspension components, chip, filter, ss exhaust and lighter wheels, like most people have done, then the MKII is better as it has better quality interior.;)

Dont beleive everything Renault say. There is a good chance that production of the Cup will be extended especially if its selling well. Plus with the chance of increasing profit margins with options why wouldnt they. They did the same with the Williams. Anyways, the new Clio looks like it...

From Evo Mag "Renaults Clio Cup has been a bigger hit even Renault dared hoped. In fact such is its success that the 172 may be discontinued in the UK altogether and the Cup offered with a list of options including ABS and air-con."

With the way things are going with cars manufacturers, I hope weight doesnt handycap the megane RS, otherwise it may be just another mediocre hot hatch with average performance.

Yeah but the 172 is a 2.0ltr as well.:)

As you have his car details, would it not be possible to contact the DVLA and ask them the address of the current owners by telling them that you are thinking of buying it and you just want to check the address is correct, or do an HPI check on the car? I know its a long shot but you never...

TVR Griffith or Chimera, ok not 4 seconds but close enough

With that ride height, its probably made the car undriveable on about 20% of Britains roads, no thanks to local councils sticking speed bumps/humps everywhere!!:cry:

I found that from behind the wheel, the light seems yellowish than white. Get out of the car and stand in front of the car, then its bluey white. Put the main beams on and you can definitely see the difference.

Sorry cant count, sex does that to you:oops::oops:

Funny, 280 odd views in the space of 3 hours..........Great topic title! Well it got me looking too:oops:

JJ Watford. Theres a Renault garage in Croxley which give pretty good service so I may use them.

Any tips on where to get the wheel alignment done, Kwick Fit? Local Renault garage? Thanks

I have finally taken the plunge and had Eibach Pro kit springs fitted to my C172 at R-Tec in St Albans. I havent really driven it much yet over this weekend, but initial impressions are very good. There is a definite reduction in body roll and the ride quality hasnt deteriorated and infact has...

Is this the same Shorty, cmon, whos using his ID?

Ive raced my Raliegh Chopper against my mates Raleigh Boxer. I won thanks to my selection of 3 speed gears against his 1 speed, and I had bigger wheels for a higher topend!

I think Topgear tested FRP, ITR and C172. On the road not a lot in it. On the track C172 beats the ITR by about 0.5 of a second but the FRP lapped about 2 seconds faster!! They hardly had to back off for a corner.

Happy Easter everyone, Im off!!................

LOL!

Why do some people keep going on about "Cups being faster", or "Cup isnt as that fast", "it has the same engine", "no it doesnt have the same engine", blah de blah de blah! I admit that Im guilty of this too, but now its got to the point so what!, Big Whoop! There must be a dozen threads that...

I have a standard MKII 172 and as stated in the manual, I have it at 2.3bar at the front and 2.1bar at the rear, which equates to 33psi and 31psi.

Do that diagnostic test where you hold the column stork in when you turn the electrics on, press the speedometer reset button and it should tell you how many litres of fuel you have left.

Nice wheels, what size are you going for? 172 boy;)

I was gonna get a set but was told theyve been discontinued...:(

Perhaps it feels faster because there is less sound insulation. The cup isnt massively faster and would not completely open a can of whoop ass on a normal 172. Virtually the same car and same engine. Ok, Cup owners out there may well say I would say that cos I have a 172 and its a case of...
