where is yours cutting in at?

Cool, its going to look very nice Tim. Not that the CUPS dont already! Are you going for the "speedline corse" wheels like they use on the Cup Racers - theyre white. I might get a set - i know a guy who prepares cup racers nearby who said he could get me some....

especially silver mk.1s...............Look at him go!

It takes about 15 minutes plus for the rev limiter to raise to 7200 rpm, no wonder so many 172s get beaten or kept up with probably because their limiters are coming in earlier than expected! Try driving it for like 30 mins and then testing it again. The first time my car ever cut in at 6800...

very nice indeed. Both of them! What exact mods were you running on your old mk.1? would you mind listing them for me dude? thanks in advance! (if you do! :) )

Hi cliocupmaster, im in surrey - thats kinda close to you. Do you know where Guildford is?

Jimblive - my bro goes pretty much the same route as you. Up the A3, off at Puttenham down the Hogsback. Look out for him; a Rover 200 BRM V-reg and hes always up for a toast! he wont go much above the tonne tho. I come to petersfield a fair bit, friends live around mogsmead and near the...

i dont wanna be rude, but if you hit the rev limiter you lose LOTS of time especially in race situations. I find you get the most out of your car if you change at abou 6500 rpm, and not take it to 7200 in these situations (slower cars). Only go to 7200 rpm if youre racing neck a neck with...

Me too, mine did this, renault replaced the idle control switch it does it every now and then, but not as much as it used to.

Norfolk-172 - maybe its the norfolk air that your clio doesnt like? hehe ;) A lot of factors go into play with regards to cars "keeping up", in that you were probably not pushing yours as much as the other driver would have been. Also remember when you look in your mirror, cars appear closer...

for a blower!

someones gotta make a cheap bolt on turbo soon!

Probably was. He toasted me and i want 300 bhp!

I saw a Mk. 1 172 in Guildford (Halfords car park) the other day with a V6 rear bumper, vents on the side and some splitters on the front. On the back they had a renaultsport badge in between the two exhausts. It said RS-R on it too? Dont know what country it was from, it had a strange...

did the engine turn over at all, or, when you turned the key, did all the dash lights/clock lights turn off? few possibilites - the immobiliser cable came loose on mine disabling me from starting the engine. Locate this by following the big cluster of wires leading into the ECU down...

Yeah, i thought renaultsport just advised mods to be done at the normal factories. Like the suspension geometry/wheels etc etc. Is it true the ports are gas flowed by mechachrome - im trying to find out where i read that from!?

I wouldnt have done that, he looked like a bit of a meat head/big dude! well, his foot certainly was heavy!!!

It still looked amazing and sounded nice when it cruised past! he couldnt have been further in my boot when he was behind! "arrrg! im getting outa the way mate, just gimme a chance in me lil clio!!"

I find the ride quite hard in mine. Especially now the tyres are high on air! im going to go and test it out with the new rigida tyre setup! Maybe ill be able to get a higher top speed!? Dead impressed with my goodyear eagles tho. Theyve lasted ages and taken countless traffic lights toasts...

I was going around the devils boat hole and there was this black BMW convertible -looked like a 330 ci or something, with the big front bumper and round lights. And in front of both of us was a Cooper-S (talk about "this is gonna be a good blast!") Anyway, the road goes from 1 lane into 2 and...

BenR when you say "the MK1 was super twitchy though! lol" Do you mean the mk.1 172? I drove a 16v around a car park and really liked it. I also liked the driving position and felt the seats hugged me in tighter than mine do. How are you tyre pressure on your 172? i checked mine for the...

youll have to ask him in a bit nicer way than that.........;)

haha oh dear! i wish my mom drove like that! She has a celica automatic M-reg jap import SSII i think? its 2.0 litre and has a strut brace (noiyce) and Sein Fein alloys, she drives, sitting about 1.3 cm from the steering wheel tempting the airbag to engulf her face on her only 0.25-mile journey...

Vauxhall may make some boring cars, but they do come up with the best ideas.... ;)

Yep mines done this since new, and sound AWFUL. Another thing to ask Renault about again and them not to do anything about, or not even hear- yeah right. I got the guy to go out with me to try and get the gearbox to crunch and i told him to give it some and he gently accelerated upto about...

OK........whose girlfriend/boyfriend has the best car? and what is her/his driving style like? My girlfriend drives a: Polo 1.3 and its quite nippy (!?) but very boaty! Its standard but im going to give her my old JVC stereo when i find it... She managed to catch up with me when i was...

I really want one with a fast "shutter(!?)" speed. The only downside about mine is you have to hold it really steady for ages to get a good pic with plenty of light. But the results are pretty impressive considering the price and the build quality (feels a bit plasticy). My bros work one...

Ouch! hehe. I get a bit bored so have been using my DV cam. Its not too bad, only cost £100 from http://www.iwantoneofthose.comwww.iwantoneofthose.com and the memory was something like £40 for 128 megs from somewhere else. The video function is the best thing about it - has sound too. You...

My middle left finger does look quite bad actually. I dont usually bite them, i guess its cos ive been looking on here too much and developed bad habits. It really hurts come to think of it. My fingers arent big, i reckon i could change an oil filter on a 16v. Although i cut my hands to pieces...

doesnt anyone like my ecu pic? I went to a lot of trouble to take it you know :( ;) http://members.lycos.co.uk/scrubberx2319/pics/group%20n%20ecu.jpghttp://members.lycos.co.uk/scrubberx2319/pics/group%20n%20ecu.jpg
