I prefer the looks external and internal of the CTR - performance wise not much in it - the CTR is better kitted out for the money and ull get more lookks!
Teady - so why is the top speed of the 172/Cup 138MPH then - that has been tested around a proper test circuit with proper timing gear 100s of hopurs put in - not just some geezer from a renault workshop reading the speedo! 138 is the top speed - fair enough if the speedo says 145 then it...
the Mk2 official time is 7.2/7.1 for 0-62 therefore you would assume about 6.8 to 60, the Mk 1 was 6.6 to 60 , not 62! The cup is 6.9 to 62 officially, but all notable motoring mags (EvO)have proved that inaccurate with 0-62 in 6.5 which most cup owners will back me up on and agree with!
Once you start messing with the standard suspension - your asking for problems and diffs - u cant lower a car on standard shocks and expect it to perform perfectly - get used to driving the cstandard car and actuallty see how it can be improved rather than lowering for lowerings sake! Save up...
Dont know - I dont have leather seats and climate control - unless one lives in a country with a variable climate throughout the year then climate control is pretty pointless - it depends what and how much you use your car for - if its every day then luxuries are a good thing but idf its for the...
Sorry mate - A/ shopping for new Bras this weekend - and B/Not going over to England to prove what everyone already knows that a standard £12 K car with no girly gadgets in it can beat a heavily modded Cooper S with automatic lipstick and hair curler applicators (costing an optional extra of...

Had a few tussles with 1.8 Turbo Golfs and A3s/A4s - not very difficult to pull away from at all - evenn the V6 4 Motion/V5 is a doddle - havent met an R32 yet, but its 0-60 is 6.4 I think although Clarkson timed it at 6 dead - ud kinda hope for more than that for a top of the range golf with...
Evo mag this month has proved yet agian how what a waste of money and a total perfromance rip of the John Works pack for the Cooper S is - to start with the cooper is is a rip of and the 7.7 o-62 time (QUOTE FROM EVO) says it all - not exactly a scorcher is it? And now BMW want another £3000 +...
Who wants luxuries - its about driving not how buttons u can press! The cup is 0.7 at least quicker than the Mk2 - 6 secs dead to 60 is easy in the right conditions................
And me - mailto:tim@knox-clayton.co.uk">tim@knox-clayton.co.uk - cheers!
ps the Jean Ragnotti IS what the 172 CUp is called in France BTW - it not a Grp N rally car..
Dont know - u could wait for the temperatures to drop or a big gust of back wind but Id reckon not much more and that was a once of - wont be doing that again...................It wasnt on the limiter though so it has got a bout 500more revs but most cars never tend to reach the limiter in top...
The code number is wrond BTW - it should be 77 11 129 406 - u missed out a one - I just phoned my renault dealer and they have no listing for that part number - how do i order it mate?
My cup actually hits 68 when its very warm not 70 like I originally posted, but its still good and yeah the 145 is accurate thanks for confirming that mate!
Fitted at the weekend - looks smart under the clio badge offset to right a bit - should have been on to start with! Now where to put the other remaining one £4 for both!
Anyone on here own it? Saw it yesterday parked 500 yards from my work - looks mint - also passed it on Saturday lunchtime last - driver admiring my cup and I was admiring his willy!
Just to put to bed any doubts whether or not it is possible to make a 200BHP cup ......please read this and take it in....a quote I got from Efjie in France

2005 - bollochs - so whats that then jeremy - looks very much like a new clio or replacement for it to me...........dont think a 2.0 T woukld sell very well fot a "city car" now do you.......... this shape clio aint gonna last the guts of another 2 years - send us some proof and then we might...
ahhh dear - listen to everyone getting their hackles up again..........poor babys..........pop down to boots for a few pacifiers - especially the blue and red ones! Its great not having to go above 2nd on the motorway to reach the legal speed limit! A few seems so sure that MY car doesnt do...
PS - sangys cup has 172BHP at the wheels, a hell of alot more than a 172...............hmm, Neil maybe youre just not driving your cup the way it should be. (ps - u dont have to change up at the wee greeny light thing BTW) ......if your top speed is only 63.8/65, I d consider bringing it back...
Sorry, but unless Im blind - it does infact do just over 70 - so that my friends is the end - we drive the car so it doesnt really matter if everyone elses dont do 70 - ours does, sorry if that offends anyones overinflated ego........dont pass judgement on someone elses times/speeds/info unless...
Well it happened - just accept it mate! I cant see any reason to make something like that up - maybe u got a dud cup.....? Or maybe the grp N elemeent helps, defo does over 65 anyway, but Ill try later myself and see for myself, but I can confrim that the cup will do 145 (got pulled doing that...
Thats what my fiancee managed yesterday - picked me up from work and says "Tim, this car does 72 in 2nd......" Pretty impressive and thats without a raised rev limit or chip - just a grp N green element -getting the cup door badges today and gonna remove the clio badge and replace it with the...
