Boys and Girls, This is getting really sad. Its amazing that you all think yourselves so superior to anyone who buys Max Power that you give the impression that Clios are soooo above being related to that Magazine, that seeing a Clio featured in Max Power is a damnation from hell. Please...

Seeing as my brother is Features Editor of Max Power, I was going to help ClioSport out by getting him to include the club with some sort of article/spread, but seeing the responses of the masses "Im too cool and mature to be associated with Max Power", I will not bother and will make sure he...

The only way to get 200 bhp down in the Clio chassis on UK roads will be to fit an ATB diff from Quaife.. in my opinion of course. 172CUP

Sorry mate, not meaning to be patronising at all, but what I am really trying to say is that give the car a chance,,, it is meant to drive like that and it is all the better for it in my opinion. If you can master this car, then youll be able to drive most cars in the world!!! My new 911 is a...

I had a CUP for a year and absolutely loved the car!!! My main point to you is that the steering feel, feedback and execution of the steering under acceleration and braking is totally consistent with my experience of the CUP and it is how the car should perform. It is an out and out drivers...

I am selling my CUP as I have too many cars at the moment. I have 5 including the CUP, Impreza, Elise, Forester S/TB and Pug Rally car. I really love the CUP, this shows by the mods I have put on it or invested in it, so much so that I have only done about 200 miles this whole year in the...

996 C2 for my sins!!!! Cant afford a GT3 with the options I want!!

Guys, I am selling my CUP as I have too many cars at the moment (currently 5 including the rally car) and am selling the Impreza and CUP to make way for one "dream" car. So if anyones interested in a mint CUP (no scratches/marks etc), regd 30th Sep 2002, 12,800 miles on it with K-Tec...

you mean 168 BHP!!

Might go this year as my brother in law is Features Ed @ Max Power and orgainises Max live himself 172CUP

Guys, I am still convinced that my CUP is slower, like a tw*t, I put 205/40/17 and miscalculated. This weekend I am doing testing on the 17"s then the 16"s for 0 - 60, 0 - 100, 30 - 70 and 80 - 100 and I will post results. Now the % difference is only 2% and that should be within the...

12K service???? My dealer confirmed 18K 1st service, twice!!! Which is correct??? 172CUP

Sorry it was a typo!!!. I Meant 195! But no one does a 205/35/17. To get to 35, I they will be 225/35/17. Any ideas anyone or the 17" White Turinis with SO3"s are toast!!!! 172CUP

Guys et gals, Yep you are right!! When I put on 205 40 R17"s on the CUP, I miscalculated and knackered the gearing!!! Sooooo, I need a 194 40 R17 for the CUP to keep the gearing the same. Someone on here must have gone up to that size to keep the gearing the same. My local tyre man says all...

take out the soundproofing. My Pug rally car can be pushed around with 1 hand!!!!

Guys et Gals, Ive just put some 17" Turinis on my CUP and over the past couple of weeks, I seem to have convinced myself that they have adversely affected performance to the point of it feeling slower but especially concerning in-gear flexibility. Now the rolling radius is correct a la 16"s so...

Guys et Gals, I am currently on my 6th Impreza and having been involved with making Scoobysport a brand name wrt after market components etc over the past 6 years, I feel that I pretty much know everything there is to know about Imprezas and heres my unbiased view, its unbiased as ive got 4...

Ill try and get some piccies of my CUP with its 17" Turinis in White. I think they look good. 172CUP

Cupsize. Finally got the White 17" Speedline Turinis on the car and put Bridgestone SO3s on and can say that it transforms the handling of the car. I live on the road where Ford Europe do most of their B-road testing in the UK and its full of neg cambers etc and the CUP will now drive true...

Nooooooooo, these are the same logos, colours and sponsorship as the 1985/86 Group B 205 T16 factory cars,,,, the ultimate in balls-out rally cars!!!!!!!! Martini, you heathen!!!!!! (only joking!!!) 172CUP

Thanks, Heres my 205 172cup http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1051706855__205challenge1.jpghttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1051706855__205challenge1.jpghttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1051706504__205challenge1.jpg

Well this year, I am doing the 205 Challenge and hope that if this year goes well then I will turn my "commuting" Cup into a Grp N Rally Clio for next season and the PBRC. I will try to post a picture if anyone knows how to do it of my 205 in action, considering this post is about rally decals...

TimO172..... A question for you. You stated that "they are not that fast". Please tell me how you constitute fast??? Do you mean "fast" in a straight line? Do you mean "fast" in a corner? Do you mean a "fast" 0 - 60 Do you mean a "fast" 60 - 0 Do you mean a "fast" 0 - 100 Do you...

Oh dear, here we go again, what is better, Elise vs Cup??? What a load of old cr*p! What we are talking about here is subjectiveness......, the, car, its style, its characteristics, the weather conditions, the time of the year and even THE DRIVER!! Scenario 1: Its December the 14th, 0...

My father in law got 12 points with 4 SP30s. the 1st in May 2000 and the last Sep 2002. So 3 points roll off in just over 2 months. His old firm went into liquidation and just got a new job he has to drive to every day, not possible to take trains or busses (Danbury to Harlow if anyone knows the...

My wife owns our Elise. I bought it for her as a wedding pressie - aaaahhh!! But she is also insured on the WRX, the CUP and the Forester. She tells me that she does not "rag" them but we live in the middle of nowhere on a small country lane so I can hear her coming "literally" a mile off in...

I have had R 555 WRS on my Imprezas since 1998. I had a prodrive WRS version at the time. Have always kept it as everyone knows my car by that plate. Am trying to get something like * 555 WRS for the Forester and * 555 LTS for the Elise. I wanted R 172 CUP for the CUP but it was not there...

Not really when you consider the safety aspects of ensuring seats are safely secured into the car, youd worry if the job took 5 minutes!!!

In a couple of weeks as im waiting for the SO3s

I have both (my Impreza is putting out 305bhp currently) so take it from me you will not win,,,,, but you will not be as far behind as you think you would be. They are also laggy until 4K unless you reconfigure the ECU which I did!! 172CUP
