A few pics from a track day at Cadwell Park last Sunday. Not 56k friendly. Best to wait for all the thumbnails to load 1st.
Im looking to do a track day soon but I am worried about my exhaust been too loud
I have a supersprint 70mm system straight through, as any of you have heard this will know its very loud.
the track limit is 98db(drive by) but that dont mean anything to me. Is my car likely to be able to run?
this was with the turbo kit i bought a while ago, that was sold on last year but i ended up with this left over.
im not sure if its from another renault in the range or is a custom cat

finally got all my mods finished today
had the car mapped at Nobles in chesterfield
made mailto:190bhp@fly">190bhp@fly
can people who had there cars on the rollers there (172/cup owners) post there bhp. From memory most made around the 160 mark as nobles tend to give low ish figures...
Just ordered one of these from Chris @ southend, another step on my road to 200bhp:D. just not looking forward to fitting the damn thing. for anyone that has one is it worth getting the silicone elbow that hill power sell?

Ive tried before to gauge interest in a group buy of LSDs for the 172/cup from quiafe before without much success. From speaking to them last time i think they wanted around 20 orders before they would make a 172 LSD. Given that there are now alot more member of this forum than last time i asked...
after this has been fitted to a car can it then be fitted to another 172 or once registered to a car is it somehow locked re alarm and imobaliser etc?
If it can be re used im going to get one as if I want to change my plans at a later date its not a total loss.
Thanks to Chris at Carnoisseur (Southend) I now have a supersprint full exhaust including decat on my car ( no warning lights). After seeing/heering Dogmauls last week my mind was made up that it had to be this one.
Its just so LOUD its untrue, I know it will settle a bit just been enjoying...
My 172 is exactly 2 years old today. When i started it up this morning the exhaust started blowing quite badly so seems its on its way out.
Are there much options other than a ktec or magnex, also Im tempted to get a custom decat pipe made up to get fitted at the same time
A few months back my tyres had the toyos really cheap on their site. I ordered 4 * toyos 195*45*16s for £110.80 following this I had massive problems with them been out of stock etc. They tried it on saying that orderes would be automatically cancelled after a short time but I kept in there...

a short drive by clip of Nick Reads Clio 16v Turbo:D
Does anyone know if there is an LSD available for the 172 yet? Last time I emailed quiafe they would only do them if there was a big batch and from previous posts there didnt seem much interest in them.
Just booked my 24k service in at Renault Leeds. I asked them what the discount was for providing my own oil and they said £20, now im sure it was £35 on the 12k service but i cant find the paperwork. They quoted £150 all in. For only £20 it doesnt seem worth getting my own oil. As anyone got the...
