Hi all, new to the forum but am member of Pistonheads under the same name.

My current car is a 2002 172 Cup, which is my 2nd Cup, 4th 172 and 5th Clio!

Looking forward to browsing around the forums and contributing where I can!

Cheers

Welcome to cs!

Bought another 172 Cup last night, cheap 2003 model with no history and a few dents! Plan is to make it into a budget tracdk car (is there such a thing?), will try and get some pics of both up this weekend - both are on awful after market 17" wheels so I am on the look out for some good 15's or 16's with decent rubber

Welcome.

My first Clio, a 1996 1.2RL (i think?) had this whilst I was studying in Nottingham and Leeds. Couldn't afford or afford to insure a nice car then and no point having one anyway in the city centre;

Second Clio, a 172 cup on a 53 plate with only 2 previous owners and 49k on it when i got it. 100% standard;

 

[bmthnick1981]

Clio number 3, a clio 172 on an 02 plate, 60k and really mint;

 

[bmthnick1981]

Clio number 4, a 172 with 73k, loved the colour but it didnt feel as well cared for as the others;

 

[bmthnick1981]

Clio number 5, another 172 cup, this time on a 52 reg with 69k, full history, quite tidy but a few minor marks around it. HATE the wheels but i got the car cheap because of them;

 

[ScoobyGib]

I don't mind those wheels at all, not the usual so better. A bit too big I may add.

Clio number 6 (I still have number 5 as well) is another 172 Cup, this time on an 03 reg with 83k and not one piece of history, just an MOT and evidence of new discs and pads front and rear. Oh, and a V5 and 1 key! Only paid £1k for it so happy enough. Plan is to make it into a budget track car so will try and put together a project threads. No pics from the advert but this is as far as I have got with stripping it;

Yea, they are Wolfrace, I guess the design isnt too bad, but 17s are too big and on standard cup suspension it looks too high. Have 'Nang Kang' tyres on (!?) which are actually ok in the dry but awful in the wet!
