Lowest Milage 172cup

[CUPCRAZY]

52 plate - 71k on the car... killed old engine at 50k, new engine on about 20k which think is dying now too.. new clutch, gearbox, gear STICK, complete suspension, exhaust...

New engine at 50k:S


Why


you must look after your cars NOT or do to many track days in it.

My 172 (non cup) has done 48k, had 4 new tyres, new front discs and pads, 2 rear shockers, a bottom arm, ball joint and the gear box mounting changed, i think that the cat is on its way out aswell.

Actually there are 5 cow sh!t5 on my back seat and a horses head on the roof as i speak... but i dont look after it do i? so its alright.

Your car is 4 yrs old, done 21k and you've owned it for 5minutes - Dont count your chickens fella.. return when yours hits 50k and report back on the work you've had done... the clio doesnt have the build of an Audi / VW etc..

Dont be so naive...

I may have owned this car for five minutes but I've owned plenty of french cars.


2 AX gt's

2 1.9 205 GTI'S

The build quality on those was far worse than my CUP and I never had to have that kind of work done.

I know gear boxes/clutches & engines can go wrong but for you to go through that many it can't just be bad luck.

I think you must hold some kind of record on here.

Lol, have you not seen his/ andy's cup?

Its not quite standard spec...

53 plate 173 Cup has just gone past 21000 miles. It's likely to become one of the lowest milers as I'll only be doing 2K miles a year in it. Rest will be on a scooter and my family car.

....but for you to go through that many it can't just be bad luck.

Yep it cant be "bad luck" can it, even though ive driven for 10 years, only had one box and 1 clutch go on me (before this) ever on different cars... Maybe my driving has suddenly become appauling after owning the Cup. I thought it was ok to change from 5th to 1st on a private track at 120mph - Isnt that called "engine breaking"?... or.. maybe its that litre of sand my 5 year old niece advised me me to put in my car instead of oil!.. damn it... I wish I had spoken to you first……. Report back in 29k.. And, have fun.. They are great cars
