About to buy a clio

[Mobby]

Yet another forum i join for another car

Im new to clios and i know this is the best place to learn about them, co iv got a few questions.

Im about to buy a cup 172 and it sits too high so i want to lower it, what is the best option for me??

I notice people are selling there 172's for phase ones, why is this??

Also best mods for power upgrades?

Cheers

Welcome,

Suspension wise depends alot on your budget, you can get coilovers now for a reasonable price. Checkout the likes of ktec in the traders (might need to be a meember)

Im looking for ph1 now just because i prefer the look of the retroness (if thats a word). Meant to be quicker, cable throttle.

Coilovers are you're best bet. K tec sell some for about £350. I have these and they're good.

Power upgrades are costly for not a lot of gain.

The people selling ph2's for ph1's will be down to downgrading for cost reasons or selling FF 182's to spend the difference on mods for a track toy. Normally.

Ph1 FTW

Ph1 if you can put up with s**t interior.

The ph2 is better looking inside and out. I like the ph1 front end but the rear is boring.

The dash isnt the best il grant that lol

But ph2's are so common lol thats why i chose a Ph1 because there are hardly any around plus you get F1's

Ph1's are too cheap to pass up TBH.

Better drive too. I enjoyed driving my Ph1 172 more than my 182.

You don't want them... the seats a s**t and the so called leather is also s**t. I think I preffered my Cup cloth seats.

I'll preffer my Recaro's once I get some though! Seriously... the std seats are poor. Unless you 5ft tall.

Mk1's piss all over mk2s. This is actual fact.

I'd say yes but not over a 172 Cup.

From experience like.

What's your definition of "piss all over"!?

 

[Mobby]

so is there a noticable difference between the 172 and the 172 cup?
