    Show me your 172 cups!

    Here's my daily for the last 3 years. Love it.

    What's the average 172 Cup Mileage these days?

    126k and sticking 1000 miles a month on it now. I've had a low mileage Impreza P1 before and didn't actually enjoy it as much as I worried about affecting future values etc. Really enjoying just using the Clio care free. Getting suspension and steering refresh next week so the odo is just a...

    172 Cup - Spruce Up!

    Pretty much the same here! I'm East Lothian but in Edinburgh a lot.

    Clio 172 Phase 1 34k

    Great buy. Love the colour.

    172 Cup - Spruce Up!

    Thanks mate. No, it was great. Previous owner had it 7 years and looked after it. It was fairly high mileage and needed (still needs lol) a little cosmetic work. It was a bargain.

    172 Cup - Spruce Up!

    Had a couple of set backs this week which have made me appreciate what I've got and make the best of it! Decided it's time to show my 172 Cup some love as I will be keeping it for a while yet. I bought this car off a member on here for £1000 3 years ago. Use it everyday and now doing about 50...

    MrBlonde's 172 cup

    Don't know how I missed this thread. Spent the last few pages worrying you were going to get rid of the Turinis.....! Don't do anything else to that car. Save your money for vpower and tyres. It's perfect. How are you getting on with the B14s and is the centre section noticeably quieter...

    Eibach on 172 Cup - worse handling?!

    Thanks guys. Sounds possible. Previous owner fitted them - probably 3.5 yrs and 25k ago. One of the rears needed replaced earlier this month as it was leaking

    Eibach on 172 Cup - worse handling?!

    Evening gents, I've had my 172 Cup for couple of years now and love it. When I bought it, it had standard suspension with RE050A on front and Toyos on the rear. It handled great, really pointy with no discernible understeer on the road. Since then I fitted eibach sportlines, Pilot Sport 3...

    Carbon cannister EML light removal.

    For info - sticking on RStuner 98 ron map cleared it on mine

    Our new cup

    Agree with all the above. £2200 is borderline underselling that. £2500 more like it in my opinion.

    RS Monaco Clio surprise (Renault Clio R.S.16)

    http://www.evo.co.uk/reviews/17997/renault-sport-clio-rs16-review-the-most-hardcore-small-hot-hatch-ever Evo seem to think it's going to make production. Please please please!

    Getting back in a Clio. Can't wait.

    Love it. Stunning colour too! Is that rare? What's it like compared to the 182?

    Just noticed this. Stunning example

    My 182 clio

    Do some searches on the rstuner 98 remap here. I found that with mine it: Idled better Was much smoother to drive cold More responsive / pull low down People have stuck them on the dyno and max bhp isn't really improved but I found that my car is so much better to drive now. You can buy an...

    My 182 clio

    I agree, it looks cracking. There's lots posted on here about suspension. Aside from the £70 a 98 Ron map will cost you, I think it's the best money you will spend on your car. A lot of people opt for new OEM dampers and either eibach or cooksport springs. I have eibachs and like them. It's...

    What is it with 172 cup prices?

    Values will always be subjective to a point. I sold a nice P1 three years ago for around £8k. It was maybe a little low, I didn't advertise but it was an easy sale at a fair price. There's now examples up on Pistonheads with double the miles for £15k. I don't think they will sell for that but...

    My 182 clio

    Midlothian here. Nice car, hope you enjoy it. I personally wouldn't wrap but each to their own. Good tyres, springs, geo and an rstuner 98 ron map. Save rest for fuel!

    Pilot Sport 3 Alternatives?

    Try Bridgestone RE050A. I had them on my Cup before I fitted the current PS3s. Excellent tyres, I think even better than PS3 for outright dry grip. I will probably go back to them for my next set. They were the tyres fitted to the 265 Trophy when it broke the ring record back in the day.

    RS Monaco Clio surprise (Renault Clio R.S.16)

    My money is that this will make it to production albeit in a limited run. As people interested enough in Renault to join a forum on them then I think we should all be very excited that in this day in age Renault have been able to green light a project like this. A halo model is great for the...

    Getting cam timing checked in Scotland?

    Rentec Edinburgh is my vote. Great guys in there. Really know their stuff and provide a first class service (excuse the pun).

    A few from this current year .....

    Love it!! Impossible to choose.

    Cup shocks VS the world

    Thanks mate. A ride would be nice but I'm a bit far away up in Edinburgh! Think I will take the plunge, can always just sell on if I don't like it.

    Cup shocks VS the world

    George, I've got cup dampers and sport lines. Tempted by a Whiteline RARB. Would you recommend?

    Cup shocks VS the world

    I have the same as Davy. I wouldn't want to go any lower tbh for a road car. Needs to be combined with good tyres and geo of course.

    Clio cup racer #34

    Watched the vid earlier today, me and my son were rooting for your car as it was the closest (in looks only!) to my 172 Cup!

    Picked it up today

    Good for you, a bargain fun car. If it was me I would only do cheap jobs on it - enjoy it till it blows up. It will soon cease to be a bargain if you pile lots of money in. Very easy to do that.

    The Knockhill Thread.

    sburrell - your car looked quick. I was up last half hour or so to watch my brother in the R26. He caught a little of the aftermath of the scooby / evo prang on video.

    Our new cup

    Looks a cracker, well done

    Thinking of selling my Meg Trophy and getting a 182

    Agree with that Daz. Cars always cost money (particularly performance cars) and often it's better the devil you know. You could well end up needing to spend money on the Clio you replace the Megane with.
