Ive not heard of another one thats for sure. Actually this is just Roamer trying to keep his most modded Mk2 172 title intact for a few more weeks. He knows fine well that once I get my new magic tree its all over though ;)

I have the slip from my very first go at York last year: ET: 10.015 @ 70.56mph

A guy at work has a DCi80 (Clio), reckons he gets nearer 60mpg!

and your point is???

The later Mk1 172s didnt have the shift light. All Mk2 models should have it. Not that its a great deal of use anyway....

For crying out loud CUPSIZE, the Cup isnt a racing car however much youd like to think that it is. Its a 172 with a few less toys, made more affordable for the customers. Ive said on many occasions that I thnk the Cup is a great idea and I stand by that - anything that makes a performance...

Engine mount, temp sensor and exhaust are well documented. Its not like theyre the end of the world, and youve got to expect a few rattles. My Clio has been the best car Ive had so far for reliability, so I can put up with a few niggles. If you really want to hit Renault where it hurts buy a...

LOL yeah. I still think that introducing the Cup was a master stroke from Renault though. Such a brilliant car for the money - completely blew the competition away.

My mods are Eibachs (Cup boyz do that too), exhaust (& that), strut brace (seen them on Cups), filter (ditto). Same mods - just differing requirements for toys / luxuries. And anyway when I bought my 172 there was no such thing as a Cup!

Why on earth would we do that?

The autochanger is an Alpine unit. It can be ordered as an accessory for your car and will therefore be compatible with your headunit.

Rhys did a good job on his scratches with a Mer product (Scratch & Chip removal kit?). It was from Halfords I think, cost about £20. Try a search.

:cry:

Pity about the badge, but yeah they do look nice.

We would need another raffle for the insurance... How about 365 tickets and we all get it for 1 day a year?

Have a read of this - sounds like the system may not have worked for you...

Heres mine (the red one) with Roamers (before he had his Eibachs fitted) for comparison. As you can see its not a big drop. The quality of the springs is really good though, ride and handling and both improved. THere are some more pics here...

Welcome to the nuthouse Gail http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/smiley/boots.gif

I test drove both cars in November 2001 - I was going to buy one or the other. I posted my thoughts on the Yahoo 172 group at the time. Heres what I wrote: Last week I posted my views on the Civic Type R on the Type R group - they were subsequently cross posted here. This afternoon I took the...

These things dont make any difference to the zorst as its a cat-back so those bits dont really matter. I think the rear valance may be a bit lower on the Mk2, but thats it.

Scott - can you make ordinary stickers - the normal peel-off-the-backing-and stick-it-on-a-wall type? I need 500, 3 colours, 4" x 2".

I think at York it was £8 to get in and £15 for as many runs as you like. Its the most fun you can have for £23!!

I think Ive seen them in the Demon Tweeks competition catalogue.

Have a look in the gallery - there are a few Mk2s with those wheels.

end of July Tony - loads of us going, thread in the events forum. No mods required thank-you I already get humilliated enough!

Yeah - hence the price difference! Drag racing does have 1 element that track days dont have though - its real racing! You run, you improve your time or get worse, you win, you lose. There are no arguments - your slips tell the whole story. Trackdays are great fun but nothing tangible comes out...

Thats about right for a main dealer. If you do it yourself itll be about half price though.

Blasphemy! This is serious stuff Rob! ;)
