Sounds exactly like the rear shocks gone to me. I had them go on my old 172 and the handling went off very quickly.
On track it was just dangerous and on the road it felt unpredictable when turning in to a corner, even at fairly low speeds.
If there's oil on the shock too then thats a tell...
Come on the cliosport stand. If you specify Cliosport when you order your tickets you'll get a stand pass.
Better to be on the stand with us than leave it outside the show in the normal car park with the other plebs ;)
PMSL more uses for these houshold cleaners then. Twinned with the Fairy Power Spray you should be able to get anything clean. ;)
I think you need to get Barry Scott down. Who cares what it does to his penny, if you were on the advert cleaning cylinder heads with it...... i'd buy some :clown:
It does make you appreciate just how good ESP is in situations like that. Obviously the real answer is to slow down and drive to the conditions, but when you are hitting invisible pools of water it could still be a life saver.
Yeah, same happened to me last night. M3 was flooded, and it was a case of driving in the deep ruts in the inside lane with the ESP flashing away. Not much fun, time to fit those new front tyres I think.....
Cool pics :D
Donnington flows so nicely that the photographer would have to be well positioned to get many 3 wheeled shots
Agree with EVOgone, the tight hairpin at Bedford is a guaranteed 3 wheel photo opportunity though :D

On track, with the ESP on the car is noticably sluggish pulling out of corners. You can just get the power down earlier with it switched off, when it's turned on the ESP trys to hold you back a little to keep traction.
I think you'd know if it was the shocks, when they went on my 172 the car felt like it wanted to send me backwards into a ditch at every opportunity :S
That exhast is made by french company Orbisoud, and yes its a lot of money.
K-tec dont manufacture it, they are importing and reselling it. Obviously they have to make a profit, but the high price is dictated by the manufacturers. In France you can buy it direct from Orbisoud themselves and...
Yep, my prospeed system which is a similar design (but with 1 pipe leaving the box splitting into 2 tail pipes) plus a decat pipe was exactly half that price.
Obviously the sports cat would add a bit more to the cost but would still be a fair bit cheaper.
The oribisoud is very nice but just...
Would this be a dealer beginning with I?
I think there was a thread about this a while ago and it seems most dealers just put the same 10w 40 in that they use in the other Clios. I know my 172 had 10w 40 put in on its services at Liningtons when i had it.
Mike at Rentech has the proper Elf...
Had two exhausts from Prospeed now, and wouldn't go anywhere else to be honest.
Excellent value for money too. As you have seen most of his systems ar e comparable in price with off the shelf systems, but his is custom made to your requirements, properly fitted and with a lifetime warranty...
The interior light will be a normal filament bulb not an LED.
It's a 501 bulb in the 172 I think. You can get brighter / whiter versions, and i think LED replacement types too, but they wont fade on and off
