Isnt it amazing how the topic of a thread can change so fast ;)

Mine was going fastest when the pic was taken :)

Well, Magnex officially dont do an exhaust for the 172 Mk2/Cup, so their current exhaust must have been designed for the Mk1. Mine fits on my Mk2 just right. Its a twin round outlet but that shouldnt make any difference. Can you get a part number for it Mat & Ill compare it to mine.

Can of tyre-weld (a la Cup) then?

Heres my favourite pic of my car. Donington Park last year. http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/t8640.jpg

Roamer has it on his 172 - its great - does exactly what it says on the tin and looks really cool in the car.

Nice one Matt - Ill be interested to hear what you think of it.

Indicators are not too bad to do. Sidelight bulbs=engine out.

These things started in the days when the highest modem speeds were 1200 (1.2k), so you had to keep things as short as poss. Strange that txt msging has given birth to a new language of abbreviations.

Demon Tweeks catalogue new blue alloy finish and a nice picture.

LOL yeah thats pretty good. You might want to think whether youre happy to let the plate go with the car when you sell it though. Youll get quite fond of the plate and if your next car is anything other than a valver itll loose its context. You might want to consider something which isnt model...

None of the manufacturers seem to want to tell you how much their discs weigh. But the really cool blue ones are Mintex C-Tech. The pads that go with them are allegedly dust-free.

Lots of tasty looking ones in the new Demon Tweeks brochure, including discs made of a blue coloured alloy that would look stunning on a Cup. Ill have a look when I get home.

Yeah but the 172 came out before the Laguna :confused:

Happy Birthday Eddd. Another Pisces!

Or does the Laguna have 172/Cup brakes?

No sunroof. Hadnt thought about tools but come to think of it the clonk started sometime after the RR day when I used the tow-eye that lives in the tool thingy. Need to get the jack out anyway to check the zorst. I really hate jacking the car up... Gaz - this clonk is an every bl**dy time...

60mm sounds a bit much to me, but hey, springs are cheap so give it a go!

They look the same - are they different then?

They are the same. Also the ones on our Megane are the same (front).

Depends on your future plans for wheels. If you want to get 17"s at some point dont go lower than 30mm or youll get problems with rubbing with the bigger wheels. Mine has the Eibach Pro spring kit, which gives about 30mm. Got mine from...

Good call Ill have a look. Id hate to think my Magnex was about to fall off :confused:

The original k-tec 172 exhaust could hardly be described as loud. DEAFENING would be nearer. I gather that they now do a more civilised version though.

Heres a thread with somebody whos done it: http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=6&TopicID=28201&PagePosition=5http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=6&TopicID=28201&PagePosition=5

.... from rear of car when pulling off, and sometimes when changing from 1st - 2nd at low speeds. Any thoughts or things to look at please?

Yes, didnt Ford do that for their RS cars at one time?

LOL. Bet you still get a Clio 1.2 courtesy car!

What do they do? Is it a GPS type thing?

LOL 40 degrees spin at 1100rpm, non-bio detergent. If you tumble dry it expect a melt-down!

They are pretty strong. I used 2 per plate when I did the ones on our Megane. Once theyre stuck it takes a hell of a pull to get them off again!
