BTW, my dad has a 1.6 Dynamique in black and the metallic black on my 172 is different!

Ive done two track days - one with EasyTrack at Brands, and another with Palmersport. Both were very professionally run and my car was fine, other than the obvious tyre wear. Many others on here have driven on track safely without any problems. The key is to drive within your limits and keep...

My mate has a team of 4 Clio Cup race cars and doesnt particularly rate the Orbisound exhaust (esp. not at £900!). Still, you dont get a choice if you compete in the series! I think you can do far better for the road with the likes of H&S, Magnex, etc.

We can go...according to Gemma These days are part of the Autocar members club events so there will be a mix of cars attending, but its hosted by a manufacturer.

Thanks for the ideas. * OK, so all Clios, not just 172s. * Run off areas will never be as good as at Bedford. * EasyTrack have a number of Clios/172s already on their books.

smart arse?! ahh, ok...thanx! Ive only pushed the trip button once before, to reset the oddometer!

We can choose from a range of circuits all over the country, but it would obviously depend on availability.

cliojohn... Well, personally, I think black and titanium are the two best colours for the 172. Its all down to personal preference. Just an observation

Hmm, Im not one for loads of badges on my car - the more understated the better, IMHO I know its been mentioned before, but I do find people try to race you more as soon as they spot the sport badge etc.

Just spoken to Marcus @ EasyTrack and hes more than willing to help us put together a 172-only track day if there is enough interest. We would need:- * Around 30 cars * People willing to pay between £100-150 (estimated) for the day What say you all?

Just spoken to Gemma @ Palmersport, and there are two more events so far this year, but not 172 specific. One is an AMG event (16-Aug), the other is a Jag event (04-Sep). The format of the day is very similar - 3 to 4 hours on-track time, and a ride/drive in an AMG Merc/Jag. Alas, no Clio Cup...

Err, daft question I know, but how do you reset the computer - mine still reads 30mpg after two track days!! *LOL*

Thanx for the replies. Do Green, K&N etc. make panel filters for the 172 Mk2, or just Piper X at the moment?

Im with TonyKL on the sticker front Id only had my car an hour and I removed:- * garage sticker on rear window * ELF sticker on rear window * alarm stickers on side windows * tacky garage tax disc holder Either white spirit or furniture polish (spray on, leave to soak, then wipe off)...
