Thanks for the info

Hi, I have a Clio 172 cup, and my front splitter is damaged and needs replacing. I have called Renault and been quoted £130 for a new one! (it's a bit of un-painted plastic FFS). I know K-Tec do a carbon one for 90 plus VAT, will that be the best option, or are there any cheaper...

Cheers

When i go round a corner on full lock i will get a knocking sound from the suspension, i don't usually hear it too much when i have no passangers but as soon as i have a bit of weight i can hear it a fair bit. Im guessing it is the top strut knocking if so would this be the cure...

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 Loving the SP 1 in the 1st set of pictures

My Cup will read just over 140 on the speedo!

Sorry this was ment for the Clio discussion section :o

I bought my Cup a couple of months ago. The modifications it has are an aftermarket exhaust and some coil-overs, having been into sportsbikes the for all of my life and the Clio being my 1st proper car im not 100% sure how the car should feel? At the moment it seems to sit allot lower at the...

Get a low mileage 172 Cup for 5K and spend 3K on it!

"Christmas has come early for the Clio Renaultsport 182 Cup thanks to both Autocar and Evo magazine respectively declaring the Clio ‘Britain’s Best Budget Performance Car’ and the ‘Best Hot Hatch ever’, proving the Clio Renaultsport 182 Cup should be top of your Christmas wish list! In a search...

Most people are in the same situation though! Unless its a company car or its leased, you will loose money but so will everyone else who has bought their car! The people who it favors are 1st time buyers! Millions of people own their own car and we will all be affected, you might loose a fair...

Some will be due a cam belt and a service though. I got mine over a month ago for £5,250. It has done 35,000 miles and had new pads and disks and the cam belt done. A few of the others i looked at were just under £5K but needed cam belt, tyres ect...

So to get the power around 180/190 will cost ££££.

Bought a 172cup just over a month ago and i am now looking at getting a few moor horses out of her! The 1st thing i was going to do was take it down to K-Tech and get the ECU done. Anyone else have experience with this? Is it worth it? Also what colour are the standard coilover springs on the...

90 apparently but probably only 78 left! http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/heritage/clio172cup/

Looks good but its just mutton dressed as lamb. No offence you have done a good job but i just hate replicas. Its like the MRII ferrari replicas their a joke!

Can you let me know if you get it sorted! Cheers.

I have exactly the same problem! It will only really do it in 1st i guess because that is when you get the most strain on the engine. After speaking to a few people i believe it is the lower engine mount.

Cheers!

Well after speaking to a few people i have come to the conclusion that i need a new lower rear engine mount. How much for the part? And what is an average price for fitting? Thanks.

My cup will squrm if i redline it in every gear but i would have thought that to be expected! Its all part of the fun!:evil:

I was not aware of that! After selling my GSXR im not dissaponted at all i love it (apart from fuel consumption).

I would not want anything but the Cup! I just picked up my 172 cup with 35000 miles and a 6 month warranty and has just had all the belts done for £6200.

Well after watching a few videos i think the noise i am hearing is normal and i am just being paranoid. If you have a look at this video and listen to the car between 2.15-3.00 it is the same noise i get in mine but allot moor of it, maybe because it is tuned...

What broke the gearbox?

Yer im gonna be a bit moor careful now!

Thanks for the reply. It will sometimes do it in 2nd but not much. I have had the car on a ramp and had a good look underneath and cant anything wrong?

Well i have just bought a Clio 172 Cup. In 1st gear at around 5000 Rpm+ i get an intermittent rattle that sort of cuts in an out ? Took it to my mates garage and had a good look at the car an could see anything wrong of loose? After selling my GSXR1000 to get this car ai was not really...
