Hi there people not posted for a while on here, defected to ford forums after selling my cup.
Missing my old car :dapprove: , so looking at getting another cup very soon :cool:
Had a couple of cars since the clio both were fords and pretty pants.....
Looking for KV52 FDA sold it in april...
Are the cat back sections interchangable between a cup and a none cup 172 ???
There both 2003 model phase 2 cars.
Will the exhaust be a 101% straight swap ?? or will it require mods ???
I need a new exhaust for my 53 plate clio 172 ASAP, and as cheaply as poss.
Can anyone suggest someone/somewhere that might have one ???
Not fussed if its new or used, standard or aftermarket, aslong as it will fit a 53 plate 172.
At the moment think im guna get a k-tec stealth...
I have just sold my old type xbox on ebay for 50 odd quid, and in the auction it said "please contact me before bidding so i can let you know of international shipping costs if you are outside of mainland britain".
Some c**k has bought it and guess where he is.......... Reykjavík, ICE ****ING...
Just found this old vid of my car at pod, filmed with my k750i wedged in the steering wheel! i have tried to encode it but it went completly out of sync so left it in 3gp format!

While my car is being repaired im gonna get them to fit some lowering springs, and i particularly like the eibach springs, as i know they are top notch quality. Although they do not do much cosmetically as i have seen Sh33N's car with eibachs).
Can you post pics of your lowered cars either 30...
My cup is looking like its gonna get written off, 7k car with 5.4k's worth of damage.
i have heard that you can buy back the car for 10% of the insureres payout, so if they were to offer me 6.5K for the car i could buy the car for salvage cost of £650.
Can anyone confirm if this is true...
If the insurers decide to repair my car, im gonna be getting some 15's and gettin rid of my turinis.
Will there be much of a performance gain with the lower rolling radius??
will there be a massive difference in ride height, ie will i need to lower it so it dont look silly??
Oh and does...
Had a smash in the cup this evening,
Was in right hand land of dual carriageway doing bout 50 odd, and was alongside a mini that decided that he was going to overtake without looking in his mirrors or even tuning his f**king head! Pulled straight across and hit the front of my car, as it was...
Good morning to you!
Sorry if i didnt flash or wave, just done 18 hour shift so reactions were shot and took me a while to realise it was a 182!
Looked great tho, lairy colour!:cool:
I am getting some made in a custom colour for my car, any chance some one could measure.......
The width of each stripe, and the width of the gap between each stripe please??
Oh OH OH
And if you can post some detailed pictures of where the stripes start and end, how they go over the cup...
My lil sisters 206 GTI standard box has rusted through, and she needs a new rear box and centre section ASAP.

I have been looking at a 4 -pot caliper kit that has 325mm discs designed for the 172. I know these discs are huge but will they fit behind my turinis???
