As said, I've been umming and arghing about whether to get a decat for the cup. Does anyone have this combination as a daily driver?
Is it silly loud? mostly concerned about motorway speeds as the stealth on it's own is reasonably civil when you're cruising.
Anyone know where I can get some of these from?
And how much I might be financially raped for them?
EDIT : I mean door cards.... it won't let me edit the title
So having just got my Clio, I guess it's time I get to know a few local people.
Fancied a meet somewhere local, trying to think of places we can go where we're not going to look like a gaggle of chavs in a tesco car park.
Suggestions for time / date / venue please!
My car seems to be using a huge amount of fuel.....
My speedo sensor broke last week, so could this be why?
The trip says that I'm doing 8mpg.... but I'm guessing this is due to the speedo not working. I did a little test on it over the last couple of days, and it's doing about 16 / 17 mpg...
My new disks and pads arrived this morning and I've decided I might as well replace the brake lines at the same time....
I've been doing some research and found a few threads on PH and various other places from people saying their goodridge hoses have inexplicably fallen apart in 18 months or...
The stance of this clio looks glorious, just wanted to know what you had on it :)
I think it may be a 172 cup but I'm not very good at recognising differences yet.... may be RB... I don't know.
Anybody used mintex disks on a 1*2? I bought some with some ds2500 pads.
Are they any good or should I turn them into a pretty place mat and buy some brembo's?
Does anyone have any old engine mounts that I could have / borrow? I need to replace mine but I want to see if I can make some instead. I just need to use them for a pattern as I can't afford to have my car off the road.
Thanks everyone.
Having had my new car it's getting a bit dirty... I don't any cleaning products whatsoever so I want to get a bit of a collection going.
Could someone please knock me up a quick list of things I'll need and the best ones to buy? I'm not stupidly keen so I dont want to spend hundreds of pounds...
This belong to anyone? I was very close to buying this car from the garage round the corner a couple of months back, obviously someone else has it now!
I'm pretty certain my rear shocks are fucked... Pretty pissed tbh as I only bought the car a week ago and it wasn't mentioned. But there we go, where's the best place for me to get rear shocks from and how much are they going to cost me? It's for a 172 cup.
After having my car for a week, I'm already struggling to listen to Radio1 all the time (it's the only radio station my HU will find for some reason?).
But anyway, I used to know a fair bit about car audio stuff, did a bit of install work while I was at uni, but I'm well out of touch now.
Can...
Just bought my 172 cup last week....
Standard car except a K-tec stealth system, 68,000mls, excellent condition and good service history.
I thought I might start the progress thread now, just because I'm bored really!
I've tried to start as I mean to go on with it, so I've booked...
Morning everyone,
Just a quick question, I've just got my 172 cup, and it's making a knocking noise...
It only happens at high rpm in 1st and 2nd gear, but on all road surfaces, cornering or straight. It sounds like an exhaust knocking, but it's difficult to tell where it's coming from when...
I need 4 new tyres, can't decide what to get....
Yokohama parada spec 2?
Michelin sport pilots?
Conti sports?
Also, there seems to be a few people on here who have gone for 205's instead of 195's?
Sorry to ask an obvious question, but I only picked the car up yesterday so I'm not familiar...
Has anyone ever done this? Is it relatively straight forward in a 172cup? I'm keen to change the driving position asap so im buying some ktec carbon bucket seats and I want floor mounted pedals (easier for heel/toe braking).
Any and all advice welcome!
Evening guys and girls, just put a deposit down on a Clio 172 cup. Prepared for being raped by admiral for my insurance and looking forward to picking it up on Friday!
I'm sure I'll be spending many an hour trawling through the forums for info so looking forward to getting to know you all...
Hi,
I'm looking at buying a clio 182, I've found one at my local garage that i love.
It's done 42,000 '04 54 plate
Racing blue with powder coat white wheels
Milltek exhaust
Eiback lowering springs
Ktec front strut brace
There's a few problems with the interior, nothing serious, for example...
