Useless Tip #1: For that extra cold nadgers sensation, switch the car onto recirculate when you have the aircon on, that way its cooling the already cooler air.

They look real good mate.. good choice of seat, not too in your face but still look like they will grab you and hold you in..

so anyone got one yet ?

Have any of you fitted the reverse sheep proximity warning detectors .. ? I would but dont want to ruin my bumper. :confused:

did you forget to put your shoes on this morning.. i did once and the performance difference is amazing

Basically the Cup is .1 of a second quicker to 60 than the 172.. I owning a 172 would get to 60mph 0.1 of a second slower but in my nice half leather/alcantara climate controled, heat reflective windscreened (with proper thickness glass) car.. and with it being night time, I will spot the...

They dont change the spark plugs though do they.. cause they are them special metal 70 odd thousand mile jobs..

Welcome to Cliosport.. here is your newbie poke (just ignore bambams one that is the cheap alternative) DONT ACCEPT CHEAP IMATATIONS.. BE POKED BY QUALITY.. http://www.websmileys.de/wut18.gif

I heard the xenons were 5 year garantee..

Well I pondered this for the Mk2 172 and the best I could come up with was to buy the fold away in dash one. Not much help I know but you might want to consider it.

Ye, sorry to hear that.. at least the biker was alright though, could have been worse.

You lucky sod, what sorta price are you looking at ?

£160 for me, Renault Edinburgh.

If it really bothers you get the 4 pot callipers.. then we will hear you moan that you cant press the brake pedal at all for fear of flying through the front window.

I think k-tec are working on a performance cat for the mk2 172 6-8bhp gains or somthing like that. That way you wont have to chuck the cat back on come MOT time. I will certainly be getting one.

Jeez, my brakes are one thing I wouldnt complain about, everyone that goes in my car headbutts the windscreen at every junction. Did a test in the wet, jammed the brakes on full force at 100mph.. the stopping distance was unbeleivable.. fcuking awesome stopping the 172 has.

The system in the 172 was acutally quite good i though for a standard system. Obviously its nowhere near as a full aftermarket kit, amps etc.. but its not bad for standard.

no i know where you can get a cliosport one from though.. ;)

actually fitting the cover adds about 5bhp due to heat dissapation.

I know the mk1 bonnet was quite light anyway, anyone any idea how much of a weight loss the mk2 would get from fitting one ?

thats nothing, I had a 2 million candle power...seriously.. unfortunatly it started making some funny noises and melted, was kewl when it worked though.

its not that easy to forget, you will have 1/2 lights on your dash reminding you.. Plus everone will be giving you the universal w**ker sign as you drive past.. oh and fog lights are only if visibility is reduced to less than 100yards not just if there is a bit of fog in the air.

anyone got any good pics of the spoiler (attached to a mk2 v6 is fine)

I have owned a 205 GTi, which was lowered 30mm, I can comfortably say its the best handling car that I have driven. There was nothing I could do to unseat the car from the road.. well apart from this one time when the road was really bumpy round a sharp corner at 60mph with stiffened...
