someone quoted 9kg`s per alloy last week, so there not too heavy the 172 standard wheel is 10.5kg`s i seem to remember. i know there are 7kg wheels around and thewould be 4 x 2kg saving = 8kg of unsprung wieght = 8hp gain in theory but lets face it the turinis look mint and suit the 172cup down...

make sure you get it mapped properly or it will idle rough as a hedgehogs arse.

save your money and get a 32" LCD and put a deposit down on an xbox 360

ohh a link.. http://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk/Products/Default.asp?type=dept&DepartmentID=7971

the B&M are meant to be rubbish and the gear lever is just too small, one user on here even had one snap in his hand. cant belive knowone has mentioned the new one by BBPT that has been specifically designed for the 172/182 !!! thats the one im getting, doesnt hardly alter the gear lengh...

well can we be at least in agreance that its not brought on by wrekless driving and is a genuine fault which needs resolving. i was hoping to keep the cup and tune properly so as to have a project/hobby car and ones that can keep pace with the latest range of turbo cars.

great idea but its been touted before and knowone does anything, as i keep saying its is a genuine problem even though all cars do it maybe some of the newer 182 owners on here are having trouble accepting this inbuilt crapness in thier car, the 172/182 does it in a manner that you think the...

yea always sort the mad engine knocking first lol lol lol :D

im doing a homemade Induction kit + removed rear seats. also looking into inlet manifold + decat and remap for all those. not too expensive = £120 decat, £240 remap, £78 for homemade induction, inlet mainfold ??? not too expensive i think around £120/150 should bring my 172 (170hp) to 180/182...

... or is the sensor for the front airbag ?

will there be a problem with the 172cup as it has no side airbags ? any other things to watch out for ??

^^^ agree completley, people actually panic slightly when it happens as they think the car will explode or something and its not reasuring having to tell them "ohh dont worry i came fuk`d from the factory all renos are like this" i need a proper fix. now i had my gearbox mount replaced on...

cool, thats good to hear. i dont as mentioned drive like a loony (no offence loony) but even if i did it my business and for the law to rightly penelise me for. thanks for the advise il try not to use the performance of my car in wet,ice, damp, cool condidtions (sigh) also as has been...

lol how dare you a GT90 is no freak.. well ok it is.. but its the kinda Freakiness i like.

look... its been accepted that this is a know fault that can occur on the current clio RS. lets leave it at that, i trust andy will look into this and that iam not the only one with this problem, certainley chris n `nic I am sure would be interested in this fix. also.. no my dampers arent...

true.. but i have one more that bests it for me and nothing will ever touch it ironically its a Ford LOL http://www.quantumsoft.co.uk/files/clipart/jpegs/cars/Ford_GT90_Concept.jpg love playing this car on Toca 3 Xbox its stupid fast and looks the nuts only a lambo diablo gtr comes close.

are these you selections ben ?? if they are then thats unreal. you must have exaclt ythe same taste as me in cars + women. love the supra, v6, Beetle RSI

good old andy top bloke :D if you could sort something out then i will be the first to test it on my car and il pay also. looking forward to any answers you can come up with ! :)

thanks for the info Chris. im gonna get pilot exaltos 2 or Eagle F1`s next.

yea its still under warenty and its just had the gearbox mounts done as that was a knocking/sliding noise. thing is i can take it but i wont get a straight answer will I !? they wont really know and they will change a random mout etc.. and it will just happen again. such a shame it wrecks...

Chris n`nic thanks very much that what i wanted to know. i knew your car was rapid and would suffer. so is there any 'uprated' that will not perish. if your car tuned up and you drag it also 4.5 months isnt too bad a stock car would manage 8 months. an uprated mount would last 1-2 years...

sure you may have a point but i firmly belive this is much more of an issue with the current clio, its been discussed lots of times before but finally ive had enough and i wanted someone to tell me the fix, i know there is a fix btw i just dont know what it is. its ok to say other cars will...

and what im saying is what has it got to do with them i want an answer to the problem not a patronising critque on my driving skills. wheel spin is inevitable when launching you dont even have to do a standing start you can be rolling and then open up and it happens. it blights your performance...

cant belive your stupid responses. i just knew that what you would say. driver control isnt the problem i can launch fine in the dry and i can probably spank most people at driving fast also. In laymans terms im talking about the known fault with the current Clio where severe banging occurs...

it was an issue in the MKII172 but not as much due to TC and extra weight. But in the Cup there is no traction and its lighter, i simply cannot put my foot down in 1st then change to 2nd without Serious engine banging or something. ok so if its cool or damp as soon as you start to spin you have...

yea those wheels are really thin. thing is apperntly if people just used snow tyres in this country then acidents would be all but avoidable.. i want some of those for christmas :)

not my car m8ty i now own a cup which has no back seats as off this weekend and a homemade induction kit soon. i will be getting the cup caged like that as its not that intrusive in the front.

:D http://personal.inet.fi/cool/globe/rally/paradise/pics/2005/mikkeli/frc05r3_5061_pinomaki.jpg love the snow wheels really thin lol

cool, always suprises me how well the little cheap N/A clios superminis do against more exotic machinery

dunno if i like it certainly different... http://www.clioland.ch/images/ClioFotos/Michael_Melly_exDegen/cliomike7.JPG http://www.clioland.ch/images/ClioFotos/Michael_Melly_exDegen/cliomike8.JPG hehe ive come across a website with loads of badly modified 172`s some shocking stuff on there.
