Hmmm.... Tom Rigbanks..... Is that an anagram of something? ;)

172 offset is ET48 iirc, 172 Cup Turinis are 37.5.

Eureka!!

JillyB had one on her black 172. They look s**t.

On his speedo. Probably 120 at the very most. What you can't see is how long it took him to get there. lol. Nice pics shag.

I actually prefered it before...:o

Cup didn't sound standard to me.

So it didn't have the same standard equipment then. I got a UK car brand new for 12k. It's worth more than an import. Get over it.

According to Nick @ Hillpower it's £300. Which is pretty good. If you want improve throttle response get a GrpN ECU - one of the things it does is open the throttle much quicker. Has completely changed my 172.

Having said that, handling is a subjective matter I suppose. For instance Michael Schumachers car may be set up perfectly for him, but the next F1 driver might think it's a bag of s**t.... it's a personal thing.

Utter cod s**t. If the Cup is so great (and I'm not saying it's bad out of the box, far from it) why do most heavy track day goers on here with Cups at the very least replace the springs or fit aftermarket dampers/coilovers etc?? A 172 with decent coilovers set up correctly would corner...

Get her a Cup splitter. Makes a nice subtle difference to the front end.

It's only nuts and bolts really. Bolts at the manifold end will be a bit awkward to get to mind you.

Coilovered 172. Provided it's set up correctly and not just lowered as far as it will go.

Doubtful. My missus has gone from a 1.2 mk2 to a 1.4 mk3 and the mk3 is quite noticeably quicker, especially after 60 mph.... where putting your foot down in a 1.2 is actually pointless!! I think the new Clio RS looks OK.... Looks much more stable than the outgoiing model (longer,wider etc)...

Arse!! No flash player on poxy work PC's. 162 bhp 1.8 16v!! brilliant!! That fucker must revvvvvvvvv!!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with imports. The reason to watch out for them is that they came with less standard equipment and were generally bought for less, thus are worth approx £500-£1000 than a bona fide UK car.

It's on the RAC site petal. I would get a 182 WITH Cup packs if I were you. imho there's not much point in paying the extra over a 172 otherwise. Unless your hell bent on having those silly twin exhausts.

You could leave the air feed/accoustic valve assembly in if you wanted, but it's probably better to take it out.

Cheers mate. The guy I went down to ProSpeed with (Nick aka The Bear) had a 3" twin cut into his bumper on his ph2 172. Looked smart. Was very loud mind. I'll see if I can dig out a pic.

PMSL! I reckon if you fit one it'll be as fast as a Williams.

Agreed ^^

My cats breath smells of fish.

ProSpeed on a Phase 2. Phase 1 rear bumper is gay. ;) 2.5" bore with 2.25" silencer. 3.5" inward rolled, slash cut, cut inot bumper with 182 surround.

I can't buy anymore fooking products!!! I'll run out of room in the effing garage!!! I've had pretty good results on my Silver (although usually much better after Clay, paint clean, SRP) with #21 and topped with #16. Incidentally, I found my car had a much sharper shine/reflection before...

Awesome!!

To be honest mate, any decent custom place would be able to do it..... Difference with ProSpeed is you know that they have done lots of Clio's in the past and have had very little, if any, negative feedback. Which counts for a lot.

Nice. That's the one trouble with Silver - Even after a fooking good detail, it never has as much impact as a darker colour. Looks lovely though mate.

That's a statement from the DOT. As there are no UK regs, the European regs are adopted. This is the full letter of response from the Department Of transport "The situation for Gas Discharge (HID High Intensity Discharge) (commonly known as Xenon) headlamps is complex. I attach links...
