Hi,
The cup is only a fraction quicker in a straight line. The most my brother has ever beat my mk2 by, in his clio cup, is a car length, side by side(normally it is half that). If I am behind him I can stay with him due to the slip stream effect, it is only through the corners that he...
Hi,
Definate slipping clutch, my 172 was in the dealers for the same problem not so long ago. Driving along in fifth, put my foot to the floor and weyyyyyyy, rev needle goes to 5500 rpm straight away and settles down again. I know I did not have it in neutral at the time!
Bye Bye
Hard one to call.
The gti6 rallye I used to own would be well beaten by my civic type r but my mk 2 cliosport would keep in touch with it at the same speeds (up to 110). The disadvantage of course is that you waste time changing up an extra gear over normal and cannot get the time back in a...

Agree with tb1 on all points about abs bar one. If you have ever done any advance driving courses you will probably have been told/shown the one proper use that abs was designed for, which was steering around obstructions/obstacles while under extremely heavy braking and maintaining control of...

Yeah, but in reality it costs 3 grand more than the clio sport. No matter how you look at it, even if it is a couple of car lengths quicker to 100 mph, it is not worth £3k+ on top is it?
If you owned a civic type r and raced a clio sport and only just outdragged it (on a straight, not the...
Hi,
No kdf, renault only recommend 98 ron to help the engine run cleaner (will not clog the fuel filter as quickly because there are more cleaning additives etc.. and during a yearly service you would normally get a fuel flush to help with this) due to the long 2 year service interval...

Hi there sportsters,
I was wondering about the trip computer oil indicator level on the mk 2 clio sport, when I press the reset button on the oil ok message, to get the level, it reads as 6 dashes one of which is a nought (could be the other way around, not...

Yep, was definately modded to some high degree. Have toasted plenty of 1.9 gtis (standard) in a straight line when 2 up and a full tank (no chance in the corners though). You can tell if they are modded by the fact that it is faster than you! as no way is a pug 1900 faster, even if you are 4 up...
Agree with big bash on saxo vts handling being better than a 172 on the road(still own one now but hardly use it), but only just, the 172 corners 90% as good but will always be a car length or so worse off on narrow roads, but when you hit the straight the 172 just pulls right back and goes past...

Guys,
Let us not lose site of the fact that the 172 is only an 11.5k (brand new on the road price, including alarm, via import) supermini gti. For that price it is the cheapest, fastest most affordable car you can buy BRAND NEW anywhere in the uk, by about 1500 to...

Amazing car for 13k. Be careful though my brother nearly lost control of his cup racing my mk2 cliosport the other day, under heavy braking, I can see this braking being a prob, as we tested both from 80 to 0, and the mk2 definately stops quicker on the road (you drive a lot more races on the on...

The 206 gti 180 will probably be a fraction faster than the 172 at best, so at least we know that it would be pointless swapping the 172 for one( no doubt there were quite a few people on this forum interested to see if it was worth buying ). So maybe only the Civic type r is now the only option...

Anyone got any idea if you can permenantly override the headlights coming on automatically? on a mk 2 cliosport, it is very annoying to say the least
Bye Bye
hehe
Yeah I did 1916v......... Essex Boy and Builder and 1 step down on the evolutionary ladder, come to mind.The rest of you guys are cool though and what a great site.Least most of you dont resort to swearing because you dont have the cells to formulate a coherent argument.
