Ahhh right
i looked in the handbook but it's totally different
it says it should show current mpg but it only shows average mpg
I assumed the cups must be different
Chris - the problem is without doing a direct comparison back to back, you don't know what the raceland spring rates, or damping rates are set to.
Best bet is just to talk to people who have them fitted, check out the ride height and see if they are softer/stiffer than standard and go from...
I have only just got a clio - so obviously not fully qualified to rattle on about suspension
But from running 106owners and having quite a few dealings with raceland - their kit is cheap for a reason. I'm sure it will work, fit perfectly and for people who want a cheap coilover kit it will be...
I just bought a 172 cup yesterday for under £3k - it's a very late 53 plate and bodywork is absolutely MINT
Last 2 owners have done 24-26k a year on motorways - so its up at 96k mile
But an inch thick receipt log for every part bought for it, all the mots and full service history since new. Oil...
Schweppy - legend mate - thanks for that
I think I'll get some harness holes welded to inside of the recaro subframes to save drilling the shell - and I'll do a search and try to find the resistor specs :D
Ive only got one from the service station on way back - taken with my iPhone rather than my dSLR - so it's a s**t photo :(
I'll be at the xscape meet on satuday though! :D
Do the badges just come off with a bit of hot kettle water - like the 106 stuff does? As I may just remove the one thats one there.. not sure yet
Harnesses sound like the 106 then - 3 mounting points but 4th is a hole through tunnetl - shame as I didn't want to drill. I may get some mounting...
Bought myself a 172 cup today - chuffed to bits with it
There's a few little "niggles" that I want to tidy up
Wing Mirrors - both of them seem to have loose glass. The mirror itself is solid but the glass wobbles all over the place while driving. Is this something I can glue or should I...
Looking likely I'll have a 172 cup by end of the month, but really want the xenons you get on normal 172's
Is it an easy swap to change headlights and fit ballasts etc..? And how much do they usually cost second hand (cliospares.co.uk are about 10mins from my house)
Ok guys/gals I'm getting a 172 in January / February - Moving on from 7+ long years of Pug 106 ownership
I went out in a mates 172 cup earlier in the week and loved it
I'm now trying to decided between the standard 172 or the cup
Could anyone give me a list of the actual differences...
I don't get over to Lincoln much these days - I work in Retford with Rick (of cruise-lincs fame ;))
Whats chris driving? something a bit special?
Thanks again for letting me have a play mate - love it, literally can't wait until jan/feb now
Next years nurburgring trip is looking more fun lol
5 years of loitering without posting ;)
Ermmm thanks for the update on Melissa's dating status - but I have a girlfriend lol
I'm not sure cup's are exactly poverty spec 172's - the alloys on the standard 172's are god awful
It's a toss up for me - I'm 30 and I'd like leather and air con...
Aluco - that's the one yeah
It's up for sale again now as I want a 172cup LOL
Melissa - bloody hell long time no see. Didn't know you had a clio now
Not your bro's no - a mate of mine, Joe, from Worksop
