PLEASE!!! Can someone pop out to their beastie and measure the above for me!!!!!! :dapprove:

As soon as she arrives it will be booked in matey!

Why did you tell them how much they were worth???? Most insurance companies wont replace your aftermarket modifications if you crash. Telling them how much they were worth [if very expensive] will boost the premium. You should have said - I dont know, I bought them from a mate for ***

Well look at the thread I just started about 'the tape measure' and try and work it out that way. Are they side mounted or base mounted?

I need someone to help me out please :D I have just had some retrimmed Cobra Evolutions delivered and they have custom/uni side mounts mounted on custom sliders. Please can anyone with a MK2 Clio [or a mk1/2 172 - 182 measure:-] The distance between the 2 front bolts The distance...

I love my toys!

Ooops - I would have checked that out first before buying. I just got some retrimmed Cobra Evolutions.... They come with universal sidemounts and sliders - although I have a feeling i might need to buy some clio specific ones. [side mounts are around £45 I believe]. I dont know what to...

Fred I think im up for your offer of you having my Mk1 172 [when I get it] for you to create a cat back for it ;)

Interesting... I have just bought a OMP Superquadro wheel with Boss.... might buy a spacer too. I have also got some retrimmed Cobra Evolutution buckets that arrived last night!!! Just need a Clio!

In the last 2 years:- Pug 106 GTI Golf GT TDI Golf GTI Turbo Honda Civic Type R [still got] MGF Trophy 160 Lotus Elise VX220 [still] Clio 172 Sport [for the track - when I buy one!]

Well im just not used to that.... .... Im used to meeting up with the Lotus club or VX club, having a chat and comparing mods etc, then all going on a run, pub lunch, then run back home. Im 26 and feel like an old barsteward!!!!!

My 172 will get stripped down as soon as I get it. Something I was very surprised at was the weight of the suspension. Just had my coilovers and they weighed a ton compared to my VX220 suspension.

Good vid. What camera is that? and where did you mount it?

What are CS ??? Think Im going Imola BTW.

I am buying a 172 - even bought some coilovers etc for it ready. Just awaiting some pending funds before choosing the right one ;)

Thanks for the replies. This is for a fun/track 172... so no people in the back.... although I will need 2 x seats as I will want to take pass rides! Nick - were they the Corbeau Revs that you were on about??? Ive heard they are far to low... even to look over the steering wheel! I will...

Yes Fred - on the website its advertised as a straight through race system with an unsilenced catbypass pipe. Does this also fit the mk1 172? Although I would imagine this is too loud for the track. Fred have you had the DB tested ??? Thanks Chris

Welcome to the fold!!!! Good choice - although onc you go black you'll never go back!!!!

They are different and have LSD.

What is the standing db level????

Oh and does it fit the Mk2 Ph1 172 [2000-1]?

Think I might get the Cobra Imolas - do the side frames frit straight into the Clio?

Fred - i sent you a mail regarding the exhaust - does it fit a MK2 Ph1 172??? Thanks Chris

0-60 in about 4 secs, 0-100 under 9 secs. Go to Blink motorsport - they have vids and stats etc :D The vids are great!

Well the seller doesnt know anything about the engine - "The V-Tech point comes in at 6,500rpm" - More like 5800 rpm!!! Best thing to do is speak to Maidstone Sportscars - they specialise in the K20/a transplants for the Elise and can tell you exactly what you need. If you go to their website...

Im currently looking for some buckets for the 172.... I really want some Corbeau Revolutions. But I have read they are an absolute pig to fit - no easy mounting frames for the clio! Plus they sit too low. Any other buckets with side head protection flanges that have direct fitting...

Has anyone got any sound clips of this system? Preferably the straight through unsilenced decatted system. What your your thoughts on it? I think I will be getting it for my track 172. Thanks Chris :approve:

Cheers Tim... The washers are huge in comparison - and the hole does not even get close to fitting over the piston. Thanks for the help! :)
