ty, will look out for yet another 172 cup tonight.

Im getting so many clueless views from renault/dealers its quite shocking. the guys saying he'll re-MOT it and pay for both belt changes to be done?

Well theres one close to home I can look at tonight (172 cup) ...... its on 52k miles and aux belt and cambelt havent been changed yet he's saying it doesnt need to be changed til 72k? Renault told me monday @ 52k Cambelt needs to be changed, and @ 30k auxbelt needs changing? Car only has 2...

Sure; well I was looking for a clean car ideally not an insurance write off. DazG ty for the advice

totally agree with you Ben, but a cat D 03 cup for 6k? i think not. :)

Hi Dave!! :P

Hey everyone, Ive just sold my Saxo VTS from 2001. I have my eye on a Clio 172 Cup, bloo_joo's one in the for sale section. Is there anything I should particularly look for? I intend to get a 172 Cup, first few changes will be to change the indicator bulbs (pathetic but effective), ITG...

surely you shouldnt need to use sealant?

Woulda imagined low 15s, high 14s. My Saxo runs approx 15.3

Ah, well the £50 of fuel it'd cost for me to do a return journey beats paying Renault 1k.

Where is Rentech?

weird as hell, why would one local renault dealers say £850++ and then someone elses renault do it for £500! Wow, this is the only thing putting me off getting one lol, just test drove a 182 and it is a real nice car. Much nicer than my Saxo VTS, however the cambelt costs £180 to change on...

Hi all, im in the process of considering buying a 172, now ive just taken a 182 for a test drive and apparently a cambelt replacement is £850+ is this true? thats a shocking amount of money!!

.......:O Awesome motor.

.....someones going to be out raping tarmac tonight :)

I have an iPhone, best phone i have ever owned. :)

Just picked this up. seems like a quality read. Was my first real look @ a Clio 197 Cup, not so sure on its spoiler...

take the kit off tbh.

That CF bonnet, is that a Procomp one you can get from K-Tec?

I have a Saxo VTS, Ill safely tell you people that a 172 Cup has the edge over a Saxo VTS/106 GTi. Its not a huge amount but the 106/Saxo fights hard all the way up too 100 :)

Im looking @ buying a 172 Cup, seems like the "newer version" of my Saxo VTS... very similar car.. just slightly better looks, newer number plate, less miles. Slightly quicker too. :)

Lowered on some decent suspension (H&R Coilovers) 4 Pot Brake conversion Perhaps Anthracite Trophy Turini's... ...stand back and admire.

Mine is 1610 quid on a 182 fully comp 19 with 1 years ncb.

is there a difference between "superchipping" and mapping then, as i thought a superchip was non specific and a map was unique to your car.

DC5 are sexy.

true that

yeah ~ but you'd have a map for your modifications then, not just a chip which raises the limiter.
