Not as much as youd think. Were just perfecting the exact setup (hence the track outing) but its going to be setup for road use first and foremost. If theres enough interest, Im sure we could organise a group buy to make things cheaper. Ill advise asap on price.

I was sceptical at first, but was totally converted once the mods had been fitted. Before, the car was quite twitchy at the back even with the lower/stiffer springs and a little unpredictable. However, on the track it was fine. Now its a totally different animal - cant wait to try it on the...

Correct BenR - go to the top of the class! And what a difference a few choice mods make!!

Just had a select few mods applied to my Mk2 Clio 172, using lessons learnt from the Cup race cars and Im amazed at the transformation :D Basically it involves new springs and some geometry changes front and rear. The result is amazing. The car handles even better than standard, with...

Main Track....so did you get to drive the Clio Cup race car on the 3 mile track then?

How did it go? Good/bad points? Highlights? And what were the fast laps like, especially in the new V6 and R-Sports modded Cup?

More to the point, why?!

Alas Geoff, its not really feasible and itd cost more to refit the std one then have the Eibachs refitted than it will if I have to pay for two new rear wheel bearings to be fitted. Plus, my new suspension mod more than makes up for it :-)

Just dropped the car off this morning for some suspension mods only to receive a call telling me that the rear wheel bearings were leaking grease everywhere! The car has only done 6000 miles!! I suspect it might have something to do with the handful of track days Ive done as apparantly its a...

Ive removed the Renault and Sport badges on the left of the boot on my Mk2 172, which were just stuck on. But Im sure the Clio badge on the right is mounted with two holes thru the bodywork. However, the car in the link above is also an "02" Clio yet has no holes.....how come?!

Anyone fitted Carbon Metallic pads on their 172?

So, if youre with Direct Line/Tesco whats the best approach to getting air filter/spring mods declared for as close to bugger all as you can?!

paul172 - where did you get the polished rocker cover from, or did you do it yourself?

I drove my Mk2 172 @ Palmersport before fitting the Eibachs, then again with the Eibachs on the same South-West track. As std the car rolled quite a lot in the bends, and could be slid across the track, which was great fun. With the Eibachs corner exit speeds were improved since there was less...

They are superb - really transform the car. try doing a search - theres been loads of posts on the subject

Elephant were also utterly useless on the phone and refused to answer any questions, preferring to point me to the web site! No wonder they save money - they obviously pay gimps peanuts for Customer Services. Direct Line are winning so far....

Then I must be lucky because at 5k miles on my Mk2 172 on BB Tunings RR, my 172 recorded 172bhp and 150lb/ft torque ATF. Spot on!

What -is- it?!

Thanks for the tips! What I find weird is that Tescos online quote was over £50 cheaper than my renewal quote, yet when I phoned them up they point-blank refused to price match, even to their own site!! When I phoned Barclaycard up they said they use the same company as Tesco and would just...

so why did they suck?
