We went yesterday, braving the gales, and it was worth it just to see the new Clio V6 - I WANT ONE! When do they go on sale, how much?

Impressive stuff! So, according to the graphs, the Superchip re-map was worth +10bhp and +10 lb/ft torque...up from 155lb/ft @5400rpm to 165lb/ft @ 5400rpm. What was PEs overall comment on the combination? Could they have squeezed any more power out of the car? Whats the next level of...

A number of people have suggested to me that replacing the air filter on the 172 makes quite a big performance difference, which is very unusual in naturally aspirated engine tuning. It would be interesting to find out the performance gains of -just- an exhaust and then -just- an air filter and...

EVO ran a test on Optimax a few months back and got measureable performance gains, along with other noticeable improvements - cleaner engine, etc. Ive run my Mk2 172 on Optimax from new. Whenever Ive been forced to use normal unleaded Ive always noticed a performance drop, especially when...

The wheels are nice, as is the suspension drop....but as Captain said, hardly practical for everyday use. The brakes look superb, but the standard ones are more than adequate! But then I spose this has to be a show car for K-Tec and therefore a little mad. Cant say I like the styling at all...

What does your service book look like? Just been on the phone to Used Car Solutions (now CarPlan) who I bought the car from (recommended by GirlRacer, who also got her car from them) and the officious bloke on the phone reckoned that "...sometimes we get the service books with the cars...

A question for all those people who have imported a 172, and in particular a Mk2... * Whats your service book look like? After hassling my importer (and waiting 5 months!) they have finally supplied, via the Dutch dealer, a service book marked Warranty - Servicing BUT with DUPLICATE printed on...

Bulphan.....so youll know Colin, veteran Fiesta and Clio Cup racer, who lives in the area??

The 172 should come with mats as standard....mine was imported from Holland and came supplied with them.

Question - whats the difference between this and a PiperCross Viper kit? What sort of air filter is inside the box?

Keep the ideas coming! A bonnet is entirely feasible, if someone wants to donate a spare?! It wont be cheap though and, as Joe says, will compromise safety... A lower grille? Kinda tricky to make mesh/grilles in carbon...the parts really need to flat/curved and not too complex...

Ill kick off with:- * Engine cover, air box, 172 Cup chin spoiler

Many of you will have seen my other post re. carbon fibre engine covers for the Mk2 172. What are the top 3 items youd like made in carbon fibre for the Mk2 172? If I can get 5 people for any one part Ill do my best to get it made, and for a decent price!

towser - I believe the engine cover from the Mk2 should fit a Mk1, as the engines are the same. So, thats 2 people interested...2 more to find!
