    New Brakes Options......advice required....

    Hi guys, I have a 53 (late 2003 registered) 172 Cup (so no silly ABS) on about 86k, and will be needing to be replacing my brakes (Front and Rear), discs and pads in the next month or so, and would like some advice/info on what I will need. Can I confirm the front discs are 280mm.......and...

    Does anyone else get killer torque steer from their 172+?

    I find the quality of the Road vs. the geometry of the suspension/drivetrain affects the quantity of torque steer experienced. I (am lucky enough to) drive country roads every day to work, and find the variation of road 'quality' makes a hell of a difference in how much my Cup will jerk about...

    PH1 172 Maintance

    Quicker.....? All the RS range of clios (ph1 and ph2) were 7 sec 0-60, excluding the 172 Cup and the new 197 which are both rated at 6.7 sec. With the ph1 and ph2, the engines are both the same as is the drivetrain, the reason the cup is faster is its 80-90 kgs lighter......and the 197...

    L.E.D sidelights????

    Ok point taken........but for me like I said, my experience of the LED-bulbs I described was poor, and therefore I dont want any: "d) got fed up and bought some OSRAM Cool blue W5Ws to match the Night Breakers I've got (H4 and H1)! All the bulbs look the same now and are a lot more white and...

    L.E.D sidelights????

    I've just returned to filament bulbs, obviously I dont have the funky xenons you and your FF 172s etc have so just wanted some 'whiter' side-ies rather than ones to match the xenon blue......so got some white LED recently to whiten the side lights to match my OSRAM Night Breakers. The LED 501's...

    Sidelights to math Xenon's?

    Sorry i didnt get a chance to post pics.........ironically one of my side lights decided to start flickering on the way home from work......decided that may be a little bad so took it out. Will be finding the receipt and taking them back! Of the 4 LEDs in both only 2 in each is now working so I...

    Sidelights to math Xenon's?

    I fitted some LED ones from halfrauds, were cheap, but the 'white' set have a slight blue tinge, ideal if you have xenons.........look a little odd on mine, having normal orange-y dipped and full beam (albiet Osram night breakers)....but not too bad. Have yet to be pulled by the police...

    What would you have? 8gb Touch or 80gb Classic

    I've got both...... I've got the 80Gb Classic for most of my music collection....mainly for leaving in my glovebox connected to my Alpine IDA-X001 media head unit in the Cup....full music collection on tap whilst driving.....although pre-setup playlists are a must. Stiff suspension in the cup...

    WTF.....Ebay find.....

    HID's (not PC)

    Hi guys, I'm looking at getting a set of white-er headlights for my 172 Cup to match the smart crisp white (not chav blue for the record) LED side-lights fitted to my car, had a look at HID's but little worried about the legalities as I have no washer jets or auto leveling headlights like FF...

    KTEC Stealth

    I had a rattley Stealth centre section problem a few months ago, so got in touch with K-Tec, who said the new one would be about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks wait, but as above, took the money straight from my account, nice. Generally its a rule that the money is taken as its despatched from most...

    I need a kick in the balls

    I tend to do this too, esp when overcast and in the evening......also the headlights on when having a 'swift' drive just gives me an extra amount of awareness to other drivers....personally I think its a good idea..... however fogs = nono!!! had my Cup back from its MOT back in Feb to find the...

    Tyre 'vulcanising'.....where? N'pton....

    I have a 500 mile old conti sport I bought as a set of 4........and this one has a puncture too near to the sidewall to be repaired 'normally'.......very frustrating..... Does anyone in the Northamptionshire area, or surrounding counties know of a place that can vulcanise the tyre so keeping...

    Is the 172 Cup supposed to have a Spare Wheel?

    So therefore if I fitted a regular 195/45/16 to a turini that'd do the trick and not raise the boot floor.......?? Think this may be the best choice for me.......and it does mean if I get a puncture my first stop doesnt have to be a garage.......it'll last indefinately and I can fix the spare at...

    Is the 172 Cup supposed to have a Spare Wheel?

    I've considered getting a spacesaver as a 'get me home' tool......even though I'm with the green flag....... I can change a tyre in less than 5 min as I've had to before on my 206 (I wasnt even late to work on that occasion), so that Vs. waiting up to an hour for recovery........easy decision...
