Am very bored just now so went out and did few runs, changing gear from 2nd to 3rd just before redline for first few runs and getting around 5.1 seconds which i thought was pretty sh*t so for once decided to change when the gear change light came on and got an average of about 4.8 seconds over 5...

Soundz good price then- i am going to Strathclyde Auto tint in glasgow and the guy that owned it used to work forr Pentagon in glasgow which quoted me £225!!! So hopefuly the work will be up to the same standard as pentagon at 2/3s of the price. What colours your car mate? I will hopefully...

Oh and i am from Glasgow mate so cant help you out with companies in your area sorry.

How much has anyone or does anyone expect to pay for window tints on new clios? i am getting mine done tmrw for £150- cant wait!

well i have obviously forgotten wot standard engine sounds like cos hav been away abroad for a week and not driven since getting back!! i hav few videos of my car but can never realy keep the camera still enough to make out anything from them tho. Will need to try making few more.

Visceral do you have any more videos of your car?? it sounds class when you accelerated - what mods have you got on it?? and how good does that vw look sitting so low!!

Overall your 0-100 time is well impressive m8 - wot new engine is it youve got and wot power is it giving?? How long have you had the new engine for then and wot u think of it?

I have to say i havent noticed a loss of power when air con is on in the 172 , but last summer on holiday in Spain we hired a Ford Ka and there was a VERY noticeable difference when aircon was on/off. Maxed out without aircon we could do about 160 kmh, when switched on, only managed about...

Thanks geordiepaul - are you thinking on a set of these too or are you looking at other 17s?? Wot do you guys think about putting speedlines on a 172 instead of a cup?? Do you consider that copying the cup and therefore sad?? Well i think the wheels look quality and am off out today to get some...

Paul172cup was just wandering if you were the member who posted photos of your cup with 17 inch speedlines on it? if so would it be possible for you to e-mail me one or two pictures please cos i am seriously considering a set myself, but never got a chance to save your pictures you posted last...

Thanks guys for the replies- think i will order a piperx one today then. Now just to find a place to fit it! (joke)

Hello?? Anyone out there????

Hey everyone, was just wandering if anyone has or knows of any good replacement filters over the standard paper one?? i amnt realy looking for an induction kit due to the noise of them, however was thinking of replacing the standard filter with the likes of a green or k+n. Cheers for any...

This is weird-if most of you are now sitting at 4500 rpm at 100mph, either i am needing my eyes checked or somethings up with my car?? Oh well, gives me another excuse to go out and test it again! ;)

My mk2 does about 4900 rpm at 100 - just checked earlier tonight but didnt want to look at rpm for too long cos was on a bend!! Definately must be something up with your car or rev counter mate.

I am from Glasgow m8- wot about yourself? I doubt i will go tmrw then seen as its not supost to be that good- i had only ever been to the power tour and btcc which were great but glad i got the opinion of you guys on the hothatch day. Instead i think i will just spend tmrw giving my car a good...

Thanks for the replies Girl Racer and Chris - i think i will wait then till spring coes and weather is bit better for my shot on track and maybe go to one of the evening events then u mention. Chris you will need to tell me when you are taking your cup to Knochill iand i would be along to...

Just wondering if anyone is going to Knockhill this sunday 19th for the Hot hatch day and seeing if anyone has been to one of these days?? I am thinking about going along and having a go with my clio on the track and see what its capable of. Are there many of you doing trackdays this year with...

Yeh i knew that they had to be on in the first place and you can hear them try and spray but the water isnt coming out at any decent pressure. There must be some sort of blockage somewhere along the system.

I have been ignoring this post for some time due to the fact it claims a 1.2 clio can outrun an evo 6, but today decided to amuse myself and have a read at it. Hilly, is your dads morgan +8 standard? What engine is in it? or has he done any modifications to it? i am saying this because my dad...

Hey Simon, i have to agree with you the clio 172 mk2 has possibly one of the worst tugning circles i have ever seen. It can become a bit of a hazard too because at times when you need to do a quick U-turn ends up being a full 3-point turn in the middle of the road. I am not sure if the mk1 is...
