Hi to everyone on here, just bought a 04cliocup today, pick it up on wednesday, and going out for a bit of fun.
i live in renfrewshire, so hi to all the local clios!!!!
172fastcup....
There seem to be quiet a few ex Impreza owners who found the Cup/172/182 to be a good low cost alternative. It appears the main reasons are running costs (I know how thirsty Rus are) and the fact that its hard to chuck a 4wd car about and get the most out of it on the roads, but you can really push the little Clio and get more enjoyment out of driving it.Quote: Originally posted by 172fastcup on 13 June 2004
i get a good kick from my scooby, but when i test drove the cup, as it hit 5000 revs this baby took off i was well pleased, half the running costs of the scoob twice the fun

Welcome to the Cup owners life. You know it makes sense...even if some of the others dont!
Best performance will be from head/manifold work plus an SMTP etc. (talk to BenR and Andi at GDI for prices but Id guess about £800 for manifold + smpt for ~185hp. The same money on decat exhaust + ik will get you about 175 Id guess.Quote: Originally posted by 172fastcup on 13 June 2004
dont know if i want to invalidate my warranty so soon, but anyhows, can you give me the best set-up for performance i.e what airfilter, what exhaust, what remap, and whatever else... im going down the root of induction with a full decat
its a great choice mate, and i dont even need to worry about going outside and hoping my old banger will start!! lol warranty and stuff eh!!Quote: Originally posted by Martin. on 06 July 2004
Welcome, nice choice with the 172 Cup. I hear they are almost as good as the grandaddy Clio Williams.
