You seem mightily impressed with it mate.
I haven't driven one, or any RS for that matter, but just getting a lift in one you can instantly tell the difference.
At low speeds even they just seem to grip solidly and there isn't much body roll atall.
Different world to a 1.2 tbh.
I can't...
I'd get a set of h&r's and save the rest towards exhaust etc.
Its funny how people on here say don't mod save the money etc yet will mod there own car and enjoy doing so....
Give the carbon one a go. They look brilliant, just an expensive mistake if you hit a kerb again.
This is the reason why a lot of cup packed 182's are missing the splitter, they get broken and not replaced.
I love this car, the best part for me is it just looks like a completely standard mint condition car.
The cruise control is a welcome addition aswell, should have been standard on all ph2 172's imo not just the late ones.
Tbh i'm looking forward to seeing f0xy's MK1 finished. If he goes all the way with ITB's etc eventually then it gets my vote.
I would also sell one of my lungs for barrons Ph1 its epic.
Mine because its the quickest.
Might only be a 1.2 but i've removed the B pillar trim and N/S 16V bullet, they're in the boot so its light. Easily beats 1*2's when I have the back seats down.
182 with cup packs is regarded as the best all rounder.
Ph1 172's are a little old for some.
172 Cups and Trophy's are known as the best drivers cars.
The normal 172 is known to some as being too soft and not focused enough however I haven't driven one so couldn't comment, however with...
Must have been mad looking at the speedo saying 171 then remembering your in a clio.
A true 160.6 is good going from a Vee though, they're not the most aerodynamic cars sround.
Was that on your ring trip?
I'd go for the trackday and tuition option.
When I get a 1*2 i'm going to book a trackday with tuition to try to learn how to maximise its potential. The trophy is the best handling standard Mk2 Clio so you already have a huge advantage.
If you want to go down the route of physical upgrades...
