valver no probs, the 2i is a really bad car and a slur on the XR tradition, it can't handle go or stop utter crap IMO. My other car is a mk1 fiesta supersport which is my first love and and a total classic.
good show for once:D must say tho I recently purchased a 172CUP 53 plate with only 7500 miles on her and I was given a full 3yr warranty from date of purchase:D which was around 2 months ago,result.
I was in seeing my mate yesterday at the local renault franchise and he checked on the system at around 12.30 in the afternoon and there was 101 trophys left available but he also had a bloke coming in that day to finalise the purchase of the 1 on his forecourt so looks like 100 left as from...
T plate mk1 fiesta 1300S back in 1992, I love all things mk1 fiesta related thats why ive also got a W plate fiesta supersport in my garage alongside my 172CUP as we speak...
I only picked up my 8000 mile 172 cup on saturday (well delighted) but I have been browsing this forum for a few weeks as I knew I was buying this car, I have seen several threads regarding the engine mount knocking in low gears, accelerating, decelerating etc and guess what I have a knock...

I am thinking the exact same thing as you B19-TSH, I have recently purchased a 172CUP and I want to get 17s but I dont want to sacrifice any performance and I want to keep to motorsport style wheels, superlegs comp MOs etc. I was thinking a lightweight superleg with a 195/40x17 would be...
right where I am going with this is, I have a set of 7x17 (khan RSR) iirc in my garage left over from a previous car. The offset on them is ET35 and I propose to put them on my 172cup with a 195/40 and standard ride height. I know the cup rim offset is ET38/38.5 and I see most people going for...
sorry, but the 40 is the aspect ratio or % so a 205/40 has a slighlty higher profile than the 195/40. The second number is a percentage of the total width of the tyre.
the width of the tyre does make a difference because the 40 in this case is the aspect ratio of either 205 or 195 and therefor the 195/40 will be a lower profile.
Hi, do you guys notice a performance drop considering the slightly larger diameter? I am considering going for the much more expensive option of 195/40 but if the difference is tiny I would go for the 205/40.
comments welcome guys.
