Heading up from marsh Barton to countess wear roundabout in Exeter saw a 172 followed by a 182. Both looked tidy, 172 went topsham way, then I followed the 182 up the dual carriage way. can you guess what car I was in? ...

I'm not sure about Clio sport meets, but I've been to a couple of piston heads with another 172 owner. Keep your eyes peeled on the forums and see what's about :-) will prob bump into you again sometime soon!

Hello, that was me :-) Saw your cup parked up then heard you heading off, distinctive sound the old FR4, also had to check no one was nicking my car lol. TBH yours is the first cup I've seen around heas, also looking smart, noticed you had a front splitter, some thing I've never got around to...

Live in Weyhill, so will prob see you about. :)

I was in the blue 172 cup behind you up the hill :-)

I've got both, cup is better round corners feels stiffer also seems to get up to speed quicker, octy is a bigger car obviously so u need to work it to get up to speed, saying that I'm selling the octy this weekend. IMHO Clio as a fun hack about wins, big speed motorway cruising go for the octy...

Been searching on ebay for a while for Compo MO5's dont come up often and prepare to pay for them, even tatty ones!

I did wonder if I tried a clio specialist, I think theres some where in Portsmouth that are traders on here, not 100% if they do MOT's though. Ill check in a min. On another note Im still temped to fit a manual bias vavle, its a bit before its time as I wanted to redirect the lines throught the...

Surprise surprise Im having major probelms getting the local garage to pass the cup due to the usual rear brake problem, they are not even reading any thing even with two blokes in the boot for added weight. I've shown them the VOSA newsletter and they've spoke to VOSA about the brakes but...

Can I ask what wet sanding the headlights does? I'm assuming gets rid of the fading which most lights seem to suffer from? If so what grade paper did you use as they look brand spanking new!

Looks like a decent bit of kit, I'll see how things go for the time being! Watch this space...

Any one have any info on that other sprung bracket (first pic)? It seems a bit redundant at the mo!

Thanks for the info, still lots of money for me at the mo. Although given whats been said, if the worst does happen and the welds break then I'll just be throwing money down the drain.

From memory it did have a K stamped on it, so Im assuming it is a Klarius! Bum!

Cheers mate, I'll have a rumage through my tool box for a suitable 'socket' to use! Hopefully that will raise the back box up and give the hanger some more support!

hmmm... should of read that before I bought one really. Im in the same boat as you, dont want to spend silly money on a cat back system, I was looking at the KTR stealt one but £350s a joke for some pipe!

No idea what make it is, I had a choice of two from my local motor factors, this was the better one, pipe work and welds were much better quality, shame about the fitment!

Any ideas wha it does? Drops the rear mount??

Any ideas wha it does? Drops the rear mount??

Just bought a 172 cup, came with no back box and the end of the center section was rusted away. Today I fitted a new center pipe and back box, Ive not seen how the back box should sit, but htis appears to be a bit low and wobbly to me? Also there seems to be a sprung bracket near where the...

Nice one mate!

Just did an online offset calculator, it said the wheels would be 17mm within the arches. I take it 20mm spacers would work ok?

Hi guys looking at some competition alloys. They are 15x6j 4x100 with an offset of 49. From looking at wheel guides they recommend an offset of 35 to 38. I would like to know what the effects of putting these alloys on would have, and also would I need spacers? Manys thanks all!

Thanks for the info! I think I'll start looking for some 15"s small I know but I think the pros out wiegh the cons for track use. Nice one!!

Hello all, does any one know if 14 inch 7.5j alloys will fit on a 172 cup? Also what are the pros / cons of fitting smaller wheels, doesn't it change the gearing of the car, I was thinking of using them for track use with 888 s on. Cheers al

I must of been stood next to I got exactly the same shot of the scooby hitting that bump. Your pics are somewhat a bit better than mine though lol!

lol fair enough, there doesnt seem to be a definate answer where ever I look, maybe some good ol' bodgin is needed? I think the ph1 172 runs off the ABS sensor if Ive been informed right so maybe getting to run off this some how?? Im sure where theres a will theres a way!

It wont let me see that post for some reason?? quite annoying, any clues as to what it was saying? Much appreciated! :)

Hello, To cut a long stoy short... Im looking at a 172 Cup with a Quaife diff fitted. Apparently this means the speedo wont work. Does any one know if this can be fixed with the quaife diff still fitted, or if there are any alternative options available? Many thanks! :)
