So youre saying Group N is -identical- to a std roadgoing 172 - surely not!

R-Sport : 0208 540 7366

Ive looked on mytyres.net which are pretty good. Any others you can recommend? Thanks!

SNAP! Took the Renault and Sport badges off mine at the weekend, and broke almost every letter on Renault, but the sport badge came off in one piece. Looks much cleaner now, and far more discreet.....shame Ill have to get the bleedin boot resprayed just to lose the Clio one!

But arent you missing the point - just cuz its "Group N" it doesnt necessarily mean itll drive well on the road....its not designed for that purpose!! For all you know it could turn a well mannered 172/Cup into a dog to drive on public roads.

I must say, the Dare V2s in 18s look great on the K-Tec car but almost definitely fcuk the handling up...17s would be much better. So are they 7x17" and whats the offset?

Renault double spoiler?? Never seen it before! Is it for a Mk1 or 2? How much is it and whats the part nos?

JillyB Which rear spoiler is that on your car? And are those Dare V2 alloys, like on the K-Tec car?

Spoke to Renault UK about my 2002 import 172 yesterday and they said they will convert it from a 2 year pan-European warranty to a 3 year warranty on receipt of the necessary paperwork. They did however mention that the car then has to be serviced at the correct intervals by a Renault dealer...

Hmm, I see! So, if I have a great event that youd all be interested in, I have to post it in the General section from now on???

How come this is locked?

At the risk of repeating myself ^^^^^^^^^^

Got mine s/h for peanuts...fitting was about £80

Eibach Pro kit is about £130 and dropped my 172 (mk2) 15mm fr, 5mm rear

Kinda near the limit, on a windy bend (on a private road, occifer)!

Each to their own. I can see you point about the progressive setup, but proof positive is driving the 172 with the Eibachs - its superb!

Ive got a s/h HP IK on my Mk2 172 (Ramair foam cone filter + heatshield) and have to say, have not bothered with the much discussed lean running fuelling mod. I have spoken to a Clio Cup racing veteran and he assured me that it is very unlikely that a simple air filter will cause the car to run...

Sorry Sangy, deleted my old PMs!

I seem to remember someone on here, possibly Sangy, had one of these fitted to their Mk2 172. If so, could you possibly post a reply and let me know what sort of power/torque increases you got and how the car feels/performs on the road, plus any other pros/cons. A contact name/nos for the guys...

So youre only after sound then? Most of the systems for the 172 just seem to make it boomy and dont add any power - 1-2bhp if youre lucky....

You have PM!

Well, I was a sceptic, but I took the plunge and fitted some Eibach Pro springs to my Mk2 172 and have never looked back! They are superb! Ride is firm, but actually better than the std Renault setup, in my opinion. Handling is very good as std, but the Eibachs take it that little bit further...

Whats the phone number for Renault UK?

Ive got one on my Mk2 172 - consists of a Ramair foam cone filter, heatshield, silicon induction hose, plus ducting. Sounds awesome and took 5 mins to fit! Need to get the car back on BB Tunings RR, but Jas broke em!

If power drops off over 6800rpm (as confirmed by most RR plots) why would you want to rev the nuts off the poor little engine to 8000rpm????

25+ mpg on the track?!! Last month, round Bedford, I saw 15mpg sustained over 150 miles of track time!!:o

If you read the blurb, then YES! And if youre chosen as a top driver you get to drive the V6!!

Just registered myself for the 28th May.... :D

Mk2 172 is ET48.5

The brakes on the 172/Cup are fantastic, even on the track! Do you do a lot of track days, or are you just looking for -pose value-?!
