South Notts or North Notts? The A614 north of Notts is a great road for the 8 car overtake, but only in a few areas. Yeah the 172 is a good overtaker, but ive driven a few quiker cars (mums M3) and id love that pace, with a slower top speed (so i dont lose my liecence!) Max

yeah, its a toughie, and i agree, having a high noise/cruise speed is a b**ch, but id rather have a car than can overtake in the blink of an eye than that can pull past a car at 130mph. Im pretty used to loud noise at high speed with my cup and scorpion exhaust minus centre box!!! Overdrive...

I didnt say i was going to do it, it was a hypothetical question. You could have a close ratio box. Look at WRC cars, as i mentioned in my first post. Looking at very quick 0-60 (4 or sub 4 if im correct) but a most of them will struggle to do over 120. So thats how you could do that maybe...

ok, well what speed would you say youd be happy with if you could accelerate like sh*t off a teflon shovel?

Ok, apologies if this has been posted before. What would you rather have. Your car, that is limited to say 90, but will accelerate to 60 in say 4.5-5 seconds, your car as it is that will do over 100. The reason I ask this question is I read a lot of posts these days that say “Well yes...

Hi, I get the guys at the local Immigrant wash to clean my car. Its costs a fiver and i only have to touch up a couple of bits that they miss. It takes about 20mins (i sit on the wall and watch the world go bye) then i go off and have fun driving the car. After about 30mins the car is dirty...

Cheers for all the info guys, was not planning on doing it to my cup, just interested to see what it would do, if anything. I suppose it you went for a turbo conversion on a 172 it would be a much more viable idea. As BenR says, the 172 is not super high powered.

Any ideas on the pros and cons Ben? Have you just got up or are you about to go to bed dude? Im just coming to the end of a night shift, an hour to go.

Hello, Just reading a post about a Focus RS and its limited slip diff and then just after read a post about the clio cup racer and that having a LSD to. Is there a LSD available for the clio 172 and if so how much (yes ive used the forum search and couldnt find anything) How much of a...

Have a look at this thread, same questions asked. http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=5&TopicID=91919&PagePosition=2http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=5&TopicID=91919&PagePosition=2 Max

depends what you want, cheap and good id go for Toyo proxies or as i went for Uniroyal rainsports which i think are amazing for the price. if youve got a large wad burning a whole, maybe some of the Exaltos from the 182? It depends on your budget. But id certainly recommend the Rainsports...

http://www.mytyres.co.uk/http://www.mytyres.co.uk/ is were i got mine from. Bloody cheap and very good service. Max

An original airbox from Cuppy. Still not received it after over 3 weeks, anyone know if Cuppy is still in the country???

Mine do 2, ive got a cobbled drive and man do they ever make a noise when i pull in off the street. Also hear it over pot holes and manholes at slow to medium speeds. Would love to know what it is. Its a squeaky creaky type of noise. Max

Im interested in those speakers too. Just check my cup out, an i can see they will fit in the rear next to the seats, but the ones in the doors only have 2 screws, what should i replace these with? Max

2.0l 136bhp then 1.6l 116bhp. Why not try looking at Renaults website if you want that sort of information?

Looks like its been ragged silly! Mods do not add to the price of a car, they are more likely to devalue it.

i went for uniroyal rainsport 195s. Am very pleased with them after getting used to them. Handle great in the dry and fantastic in the wet. £49 a corner to. Cost me just over £210 for all four and fitting! was well chuffed

Will it be platform sharing with the nissan micra? Have i just made that up or is that true? If so it looks like a Yaris and drives like a Micra :sick:

hahahah Have fun dude, if it starts to snake around behind you, dont slow down, speed up (so ive been told) it pulls you out of the snaking.

Not 100% but do you need to take a second test to tow a caravan? I know that if you passed your test after Jan 1997 you need to take a 2nd driving test to drive with a tralier on the back, but im not sure about a caravan? Anyone else know?

Great Result mate. Well done, i wonder if they will reimburse you for all the time and effort youve had to put in chasing them up? I doubt it. But still, well done.

I noticed a buzzing in my cup brought on from having a scorpion exhaust. It was in the cabin and i couldnt find it for ages. Turned out to be the overhead light buzzing from vibrations at certain speeds. Had a fiddle (with the light!) and seems to have gone away now. Probably no relation to your...

Yeah, thats what he said but couldnt be arsed to type it out properly!

Good on the 182, more plaudits from Autocar. Goodwin, when asked which front wheel drive car hed most like to learn handling on a track with (the writer suggested a 205 GTi), he siad the Clio 182. He said hed driven it on a tack and loved it, saying its more indicative of the modern front...

Im 24. Cup costs me £950ish a year with 4yo no claims and no claims protection plus the missus on it.

Arent those accesoires optional, adding up to a further £60 on top of that?

Yeah, its not a bad setup at all. I have the same Ipaq, with a Holux Bluetooth GPS and Tomtom3. Got mine all in for £205 second hand. It works really well and im very impressed with it. The software is pretty easy to use, although can be a little fiddily to do in the car. I tend to set the...

Yeah, kinda the same with me, bought mine in winter, but already run in (4k on the clock) but only just starting to appreciate the handling now its getting dryer. Max

Ill put myself on detention!!
