Here it is then...my attempt at a short film. It could (should) have been a bit longer, but I got carried away on the sprints, drag races, and with everything else. Freebone, Clarkie, thanks again. http://crowspeed.net/videos/airfield2/Airfield%202005-05-01.wmvWARNING 30MB [Edited by...

At the request of a few people Ive pulled together all usable clips I had of when I was following other Clios, Mole and his Evo or his pal in his 325. http://deadboyfriend.com/markbriggs/video/172Red.wmv172 Red http://deadboyfriend.com/markbriggs/video/172Silver1.wmv172 Silver 1...

Had a NIP for doing 41mph in a 30mph limit. I thought "B******s! Why didnt the b2 warn me/I see it? Hold on, West Yorkshire...last Friday morning...Ive must have been cloned as I was at work". Turns out the reg no. was wrong...it read his N at the end as my W. Be sure before signing a NIP...

Recently purchased an Origin B2 from Has 16v which arrived on Friday as promised. Was nicely packaged and sent Special Delivery insured for £500. 1st impressions with the kit were; nicely built and put together lots of useable features straightforward to install (with the cable...

On my way in this morning... 19,997 19,998 19,999 20,000 (sniff) Its not a teenager anymore...should I start treating it with some respect?!

Having got my first track day out of the way...I need to book another up. It would be good to meet up with some other like-minded Clio owners so... Any suggestions for a track? Anyone else have any trackdays already booked? Mark

Ive got a couple of visible chips on my bonnet now, only through the Mondial Blue, down to the primer. No exposed metal on show. I got a touch up pack from Renault (paint + lacquer) but have never done anything like this before (never given a flying-f*** on any of my cars before). Anyone...

Ive been practicing holding the Cup on the point of lock-up recently (traffic and road conditions permitting of course :)), and have pushed passed that point to see how it responds and feels once it has locked. Each and every time Ive locked up its been the nearside front, never any of the...

...believe your trip computer...42 miles to go my arse! P***ing rain, howling wind, no coat, and already running late it just died at 85mph, outside lane. Hazards on, cut across front of an HGV, and managed to coast to the slip road without getting rear-ended by 250,000 cans of Heineken. No...

...almost crunched this morning. Mini-roundabout...bugger all coming...and going less than 10mph...understeered like I was on...well...ice oddly enough...straight towards the kerb...but the front bit at the last minute and it pulled round nicely. Sh*t myself, bearing in mind all the other...

Is anyone running a full set of these on a Cup? Im not talking about the Exalto2s you get on the new 182... Mark

Havent been on the forum for a few days so was expecting the flood of 182 threads (following the Evo review)...makes for some very entertaining reading ;) What I picked up from the article (think it was the Evo one...may have been somewhere else) was that there were probably plans originally...

If so...how long did it take? Did you have any problems? Ive printed off Frostys guide which seems straighforward enough, and Ive got all the required tools, but Ive only got 90mins between meetings this afternoon, and being late for the second meeting is not an option!

Most of my driving is to and from work, and 75% of that is on a gloriously clear dual carriageway...so Im probably at 75-85mph for most of the time. In the manual it says that for motorway driving you should set your pressures to 39psi (F) + 33psi (R)...so I did...and I think Im going to leave...

...having a Cup with no problems that is! Yesterday...parked up...went into Halfords to take some mats back...come back out and Ive got a 6 inch crack running from the drivers side lower corner diagonally up into my line-of-sight. I know it wasnt there before I went in as (very sad) in the...

On the way home last night I gave it some on a few occasions (as you do) and a few times after doing so it became difficult to pull it out of gear...like it was stuck. It did release but needed a firm pull/push and only happened when changing from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. I know a few people...

...172 owners with your nice straightforwards five spoke alloys. My f***ing hand nearly dropped off today having given my Cup a spruce up for the first time since I got it! Was only about 6 degrees outside and I was shivering like a t**t before I even got to the wheels...they took so long to...

The First Week… Well, the Cup finally arrived last Friday, but true to form I had to wait at work, in the freezing cold until 6:30pm before the delivery driver finally showed up (it was meant to arrive in the morning…but then it was meant to have arrived during the second week of September...

...sleep at night when you know your new Cup is going to be delivered this coming Friday morning!!!!!! Four months of hard work and nothing in the way of information from New Car Discount.com...but theyve come good in the end :D

Just spoken to New Car Discount.com and my Cup was delivered to their dealer today...I get a reg. no. tomorrow morning to sort out the insurance, and all going well (hope, hope) I should have the Cup on my drive by Wed/Thu next week. Its been a very painful wait...I ordered it back in...

Now what Im in at the moment drinks like theres no tomorrow...the fuel light is normally on before 300 miles and its gasping come 330...and this is with a 60 litre tank. What size is the 172/Cups tank, and how far do you get during normal driving (normal being a mix of motorway, A/B-roads, and...

Still waiting for my "new" Cup to be delivered and still waiting for confirmation of when its going to get to me...a***! Then this morning, at an independant dealer just down the road from where I work, theyve got a 52 reg Cup with 4k on it. Went to see it at lunch and all seems sound...they...

Ive got a track day at Castle Combe to book up some time before June 04 and was wondering what, if anything, people do regarding their insurance? Ive read that unless theres a specific exclusion on your normal policy, as youd not be racing or timing on the day, conventional insurance should...

Having paid my deposit to New Car Discount.com in the middle of July, and twice there being delays which pushed back delivery of my Cup, Ive had it confirmed today that I should see it during the week ending 7 November. At f***ing last! Barely two weeks to go...I feel sleepless nights coming on...

http://www.fool.com/m.asp?i=1003691www.fool.com/m.asp?i=1003691 I wonder if itll make a difference to the Renault dealer network?

Finally got a delivery date from New-Car-Discount.Com for the Cup...and Im now not going to get my hands on it until about 7th November. It doesnt arrive at Renault UK until the 5th, and I should see it a couple of days later. Its been eight weeks since I ordered it already...I was starting to...

I always thought that Id never get into modding cars, but with the Cup on order, and having been researching everything I can find on this forum, the temptation is to great to resist! So I started thinking... I want to keep the whole car looking as standard as possible, but just want to...
