Saw this on Facebook over the weekend;
'off the shelf' map has been sent to RS Tuning for review and found to be, well... the results speak for themselves!

My front o/s caliper is seized on my 53 plate 172 clio cup.
I've got quotes for refurbishing it and they range from £90 + delivery to £120+ delivery!
Euro car parts sell brand new (or refurbished calipers) for £78 or £88 so it's easier to just buy a replacement...
BUT...
they have two shown...
Had my 172 cup remapped at RS Tuning on Wednesday night.
When I bought the car it had a Dyno Dynamics Rolling Road graph from KTEC racing noting 162bhp - totally standard car.
After purchasing the car I fitted a straight through de-cat, the car has no other mods at all (standard exhaust etc)...
My second day at Blyton - lovely little track that is great to get to grips with the car. Took one of my mates along whos an ARDS instructor as well and by the end of the day was noticeably quicker around the course. I also let the wife have a couple of sessions as well which was good (as she...
I fitted a set of these pads last night ready for a trackday next weekend.
Discs are Brembo HCs that have done about 2,000miles with Ds2500 pads.
I went for a gentle 5-6 mile drive to make sure everything was OK. Haven't properly properly given them death yet but I notice that under braking...
I never seem to notice the shift light in my 172 cup and it revs so damn fast.
Can I get to the back of the bulbs on the clocks and wire in a separate one somewhere from the light that's currently there?
Bought an un-silenced decat last week and got it fitted this weekend. My mate helped me fit it so it wasn't as hard as some people make it out to be, just a bit of patience required.
My car only has a standard exhaust system, so although the noise has increased ever so slightly it's still by no...
Got a standard 172 cup, bar V6 airbox and filter.
I've got a couple of hundred quid to play with so after my first performance mod - been reading up on RS Tuners and I'm also tempted for a 182 manifold/de-cat combo.
Don't really see the point of getting a full exhaust system yet until the...
My other halves company sponsors Stuart Pearson in the Ginetta Challenge, so subsequently I get to go to race events for Gratis, borrow her equipment and take a few snaps.
A few pictures below from the Cadwell park Ginetta Challenge and Trackday Trophy meets. A few more on the Facebook Page -...
I'm after changing the exhaust on my 172 cup for something more free-flowing.
Is there a list anywhere of the noise-levels of aftermarket exhausts - I don't want anything that'll prevent me from doing any trackdays.
The car currently has an OEM cat, which will probably stay for the moment...
Got a 172 cup this weekend. Tempted to remove the badges as theyre abit tatty and have muck/polish between them
Is there an unwritten rule of 'cup' ownership that badges shouldnt be removed or does it not matter?
Struggling with decent quotes for my new 172 cup:
Standard car
30yr old
Homeowner
Garaged etc
10yrs ncd
No points or claims
2nd car so no commuting
4000miles limit.
Best i can get is 496 through gocompare
Flux is 695
Greenlight say they wont insure a 172?!
Performance direct 715...
Evening,
Just sold my weekend car and have pretty much decided on getting a 172/182.
The car will only be used on the odd weekend, possibly the odd trackday.
Mods don't phase me as all my past cars have been played with alot (ITR,RST,Corsa TB, Astra Turbo etc) and I'm good mates with Paul @...
