Paddy, Im sorry but thats arse what your being told! Admitedly the bloke at Powerstation said it was more for turbo cars than N/A but he was surprised at the gains I got from it?! After all, after spending nearly £500 on it I would have hoped for some improvement! I needed to have it done...

Ordered mine on the 2nd of July 2002, day after ordering started! Picked it up late September time after a few weeks delays. Am 22, live in Oxford and have done 9000 miles. Was going to sell it but changed my mind after having no decent offers and failing to find anything as fun!

youll have to post some pics of that Dan as sounds good.

Any pics yet mate?

Id never de-badge mine though, just dont think itll look good. Tim, get some pics on when its done as I think itll look really good but would like to see it first! Cheers

dont worry pal, youre not to know if youre new. Still it does seem to be a thread that appears every other day hence the response!

I got beat by my mate at work Evo VII. I said my Cup would be a match for him after it was chipped. I was wrong...

oh and 162lb of torque!

Ill get the sheet scanned in to settle this. Its 172Bhp At The Wheels, estmated 192bhp at the flywheel. Only got a Viper kit, Dastek chip and a K-tec titanium exhaust. I felt my ears burning last night and came in this morning to see everyone chatting about my car, spooky! All I can...

When I picked my car up it had 45 miles on it so I demanded another free tank of petrol after Id used the one I got with the car! I only take it back there if it really needs something doing as they all seem about 18 and want to rag the sh1t out of my car on test drives! Take it to...

did you get that done at Crossroads Abingdon? If so they are buggers for test driving! I always note the mileage when I take mine in there.

Agreed, its a pain in the arse they are all the same colour! There are a few around my area now and feel a right prat to see everyone driving exactly the same cars. Definitely getting rid of the Clio now, cut price to 11 grand with all my mods if anyones interested!

Im actually going to try it on my way home. so if anyone sees a blown up clio near Oxford please give me a lift home! Never pushed it to the limit after having my chip fitted so no idea whats going to happen...

Ill definitely agree with the top speed there as was doing 138 and it was still going, I just ran out of road! As for the 72, might be possible but have never really tested it? 65 it definitely does without hitting the limiter although I have had mine chipped. I might test this out later...

bloody expensive to maintain though. Mate had one but sold it (nickg123 nearly bought it!). Undoubtably VERY fast! Hes after my Cup now. As for which Id get next I would have said an S2000 but Ive just bought one anyway! Not even looking any further than that.

thats bloody quick for second gear! Not really measured mine but think its about 65 ish?

when I drive in it everyone looks, Id call that respect and admiration. Not as fun or as fast as my Cup but pure style for a nice price

Get an S2000, far more respect on the road than a CTR. They look gorgeous, are not that common and are quite quick to boot! anyway, thats what I went for!

Im sure Ive already given you the details but Ill PM you them again me ol mucker! In short im very pleased with it fitted to my Cup and its given me 172bhp ATW. Nice pick up on it rather than a bit flat to start of with when you first accelerate.

Cheers, different to what im running at the mo then. im using 33 at the front and 31 at the back. I have to admit I thought that my settings were a bit hard for quarter miling yet have not really done it before so not sure?

Not too worried about that, just dont want to look like a spinning idiot on the line with loads of people watching! Well any pressure tips gratefully received or do people just leave them as normal?

what pressures are people running in their tyres for quarter miling? Have been told its better to run lower than normal so you get more grip?

Ive got MB Quart PSD front components powered by a RF amp and it sounds fantastic. Apparently the PSC ones are even better. Cant beat MB Quart stuff IMHO

If not advertise it on a GTI-R forum as they are always looking for those to fit and apparently struggle to get hold of them.

They have a specific department for it now and are actually quite good. You can get a catalogue sent online from thier website.

Strange that as my mate sh1tes himself everytime he goes in my Cup and hes owned two CTRs? He thinks my Cup is faster although I have had it tuned. I really like the CTR though, lovely cars to drive IMHO. Wouldnt swap my Cup for it though but they are nice....and fast!

I had something like that when I had my Astra GSI. Some kids rode out in front of me at a roundabout and then proceeded to ride deliberately in front of me. After I ragged past and got out and he-man b**ch slapped one of them they soon shut up. Kids these days need discipline so shoe as...

You wont get any power increases from an exhaust, maybe if you get a De-cat pipe but then youll have to put the cat back on for M.O.Ts and also the SERV light will be constantly lit due to the twin lamda sensors on a MK2 172 being out of sync. Dont be discouraged though as an exhaust will give...

Agree, thrash it. Did with mine and its fine (touchwood). Ill keep a look out round Abingdon for you tonight then!

Not at all, just will have to live in it thats all! I dont really see the point in having two cars but have done a fair bit to my Clio so might just keep it if dont get any good offer as am not offloading it for cheap even if it is a buyers market these days. The hondas are lovely crusing...
