^ good, but does power return ?

great pics (in widescreen lol) any mods planned ?

great pics, love the prospeed on the trophy :d quality in really nice on images also (well for jpegs)

engine mapping + Decat query ? this is there blurb.. When MOT time is due, it’s a simple 4 bolt removal to re-install the cat and get the car to pass the required emission test. Once you’ve got your test re-install the de-cat pipe. To make the most of this programme BBPT will also be...

but a single rsport chip may smooth the power and add some extra hp but you havent increased the rate the air comes in or goes out, thats what a full 4-2-1 manifold + decat and custom feed induction + inlet manifold does, then your mapping not before these mods ?? if your going that route you...

has your clio is amazing. btw its probably not true but my 172cup`s arches seem bigger than my 172MKII arches did ? if you look at them on mine there like ford racing puma wide on the front ??? are they wider to mask the increased track width and different offset ?

put the cup on H&R`s and it doubles the fun m8 you`d have to spend £££££ to get more genuine fun from a standard performance car.

thinking of tracking my cup at some point, il be getting some ultra cheap alloys from ebay 15" or 16" and sticking the tyres on that, i know full slicks are awesome but A.) sometimes track days are damp/wet and B.) with road legal slicks i can have a play in the summer time round some decent...

never knew about the discount FFS ! i just bought two new fronts (the worst tyres in history for performance)

time for a carbon one then ! yay and get a carbon bonnet then il be jelous big time.

have to do a york meet sometime

^^ agree tbh, i couldnt give a shite about build quality its not why i bought one. externally the cup looks miles better than a golf new or old and internally well its just crap is the clio.

yea i put the eibachs on because before i had 30mm P.I springs and they didnt have any play in them just hard as granite but on smooth roads it was untouchable

and some people arent intimidated by bully`s who think they can destroy your property, id love a garage to keep the car away from the weather and roll it out on a snowy mornin with no snow on + work on it and easliy clean interior do mods etc.. but id never get a garage just to hide it away, im...

couldnt you go to ktec and get it fitted seen as its there system and has been designed so you dont have to drop the subframe and all that crap.

but the main point is you had fun, which is what its all about not this 0-60 crap

i really liked my koni shock eibach setup, very hard but great at cornering silly good in fact.

so is the ktec one ok ? seemed like a good idea to me 182 manifold was probably the only thing that the 182 gained power wise over the 172 and 8-10hp is a nice gain, i was gonna put the 182 replica system with 4-2-1 + sportscat system on mine, cant be arsed with a decat even though i know...

remove rear seats 15kg + 5 for luggage bar = 20kg saved brings kerbweight to 1000kg ( 1ton) every 1 bhp you gain increases its hp-per-ton which is nice. you could as mentioned get a carbon bonnet ? dunno how much they weigh compared to standard ? bucket seats usually weigh around 5-8kg...

kind of proves a point usefull for this discusion though its 300 bhp and 0-60 in 6 seconds ?! thats one heavy hatchback, the 182cup has been timed by autocar at 6.3 and the 172 cup officially is 6.5-6.8 etc.. obviously top end will eat a 172 /182 but at least it gives some idea as to weight a VW...

the bass compliants from people who demo shures arent founded when they buy them and fit them correctly though. they need to be very far within the auditory canal to get bass. simply sticking them in your ear isnt enough.

what about Ktecs 4-2-1 manifold ? doesnt mention that needs doing and the price although not cheap isnt too bad.

to close the can cup can own in a straight line but honda is better on track... actually it isnt oops ! whats it good for then godamitt ???

wtf is that cup running on ??? H&R im guessing, it has NO roll at all :O

if i had two cars, one for fun and one for family i still wouldnt own one. (id just own a 225 megane lol) TBH id own a GT150PD diesel, they REALLY shift enough to scare a 172 as standard in gear, id get one remapped to 190-200hp with 310lbft (about 380nm i think) id have decent economy then...

wheres that 425bhp clio

yea knowone will argue the otherwise m8 and it was pointed out by everyone about the superior build and refinement, big deal for us we dont care about that stuff at all the golf is not fun ! we dont own french girly supermini`s for our image do we now and we dont own them for longevity or build...

does milege matter (within reason) ? surley if you have do 2 miles to work and two miles back home on a night for 10000 miles it will knack the engine more as the oil hasnt heated up properly and the strain of warimin starting is the most damaging. shame the 172 doesnt have an oil temp gauge

the last two posts basically say what i said so disregard their comments put the kettle on and read my novel (or the last line as mike pointed out lol lol) :D :D
