Take good care of her @smiffyboy!

I know what you mean. This was after I clayed, polished and waxed the Cup a few years ago. Took all day but was worth it!

Haha, missing it a bit! I always had the thought of doing what you're doing (not quite as detailed mind) but didn't have the time/knowledge/space and didn't want to do it to my daily. Definitely looks like a car to keep hold of as a future classic though. I quite often drive through your town...

Man that car is clean! Fair enough with the OEM steering wheel. Are you going to return the entire car to standard? i.e. Springs/exhaust/airbox?

I had that knocking noise looked at by 3 separate mechanics and no one could find an issue! Pretty depressing that it was something as simple as that. The car looks great too!

I will be keeping a close eye on this thread! :wink:

Thanks for organising today Tim, was a good day. Here is my graph. 172 Cup with a Ktec induction kit and cat back. Not bad for 117,000 miles!

Just paid both deposits.

Me and a friend of mine are up for this. He has a MK1 Mazda 3 MPS which he has had mapped but doesn't know the gains yet. Tim, do you want me to send both of our deposits, or just mine?

I hope it's not to late to sign up to this! Is anyone going from the Salisbury area? 1. TimR26 2. Christopher. 3. Cub. 4. Tim. 5. EllenA 6. BlackGoldMatt 7. MrBox 8. 182jwilliams 9. Gorms 10. MJF93 11. Diesel Davis 12. Badgerman85 13. Lukeey 14. JP83 15. Fletch 16. Tom172cup 17. Boultonn 18...

A meet up definitely sounds like a good idea.

A seriously nice Clio you got there. I hope you don't see mine, it's disgustingly dirty at the moment.

I am also in Salisbury. See quite a few 1*2's around. I often see a Black Gold 182 with turinis and a french flag on the grille around Harnham, that wouldn't happen to be you BlackGoldMatt?

Cheers guys, it was a good day yesterday. Your flamer is looking seriously good Ollie. Ignore the post above. In my sleepy state I thought I was searching when in fact I was typing a message. I can't seem to delete it on my phone.

Mighty car mods

I haven't got time to clean mine tonight, going to have to do it tomorrow morning before I leave. Looks like it could rain overnight here though so it's all good!

So my probably going has turned into definitely going. I will see you guys at the Inn. Looking forward to it!

I will definitely be up for meeting beforehand. Not 100% sure I will be going yet though.

Yea I'll probably be there. I think it's about an hour and a half from where I am down South.

Attack those headlights with some wet and dry then Scatch-X. Will transform the front of the car once the headlights are shiny and that grill is gone!

This wasn't how I wanted to spend my Bank Holiday Monday but oh well. I have almost no mechanical knowledge when it comes to this sort of thing. Car drove fine on Saturday. Didn't drive it at all on Sunday, went for a drive this afternoon and was greeted by this noise...

The rear discs were replaced January 2011, surely they won't need to be replaced so soon again?

Thanks for the quick reply. I will do some investigating. How much should this cost at a reputable garage?

I have a 03 172 cup, over the past few weeks I have noticed a vibration/humming sound from the rear that is getting gradually worse. It first started making the noise at 27mph precisely, then it was at 27 mph and 45-47 mph, now it is happening almost all the time. The noise itself is a...

Im pretty gutted as I wanted to hear a decat supersport in the flesh, oh well. Yea definitely up for that! I remember seeing you. Seem to remember you were keeping up with an M3? (CSL or E92, can't remember off the top of my head)

What time were you on track? We left at 1 so probably missed you. Sounds like a lot of fun! I really want to track my Clio after going on Sunday and take it to some track days. Don't fancy doing it to my daily though and don't have the money. Soon though! Yea the Sportlines are great thanks...

I too was there. 172 Cup parked in the corner. I thought I recognised your Cup rdoxenham! I saw it parked up in the car park behind the pits. I met you down at K-Tec when you had your injector and coilovers sorted. I was having a service and Eibach Sportlines. How were your track sessions? When...

Im going, 438 on the list I believe. Definitely put your name down, I remember one of them last year I was 100 places or so away from the list a few days before but still comfortably made it in. Yea the event is free, though the catering is not. If you are 729 you will definitely make it in.

Currently on 42.3 in my 172 cup 'driving like a nun' i.e. No blasts and changing gear 2500-3000 rpm. On a 60 mile commute to salisbury which is all single carriage A roads. So dull!

Thanks mate, will give it a go. Wont get a chance tomorrow but I will report back monday
