The driver that tested the PH2 was better, hence the faster time.

Thats the general opinion, iv had a few blips with ph2's and pulled on them, but then again id say a healthy ph2 could do the same to me, i honestly believe there is so much variance between these engines (having a 'good' or 'bad' one) that no model is faster than another
Do what i had a Mk1 172 with a clio Mk2 172 cup gear box in it
I think this is what i have got, seems rapid and its def quicker than my RX8 was to 60
Im not getting the 65ish that people report in second gear on a ph1 which is what makes me think i have a cup box in mine, im getting about 58 or so which would seem about right but it pulls very well
Yeah that was what i was thinking, the speedo is out which is what first allerted me to a potential different box, it is actually indicating 65 on the speedo but it is only doing 56-58 recorded on sat nav and verified by firend i have had follow me in other cars i was that concerned.
Now i know speedos are always out but that is actually beyond the 10% they are allowed to be out by. Cruising on the motorway 80mph on sat nav indicates about 92 on the speedo.

I had my first Mk 1 172 in 2004 with std Mk1 gear box and got my second 172 Mk 1 in 2009 ( off Budgie ) with the cup gear box in it and have to say it feels quicker than my first one and it was on a R/R @ 161 BHP in Std form :approve:

You sure your allowing the engine to get to full temp and therefore full revs? I'm sure my Ph2 hits 65 on the clock in 2nd.
330Ci (Fail)Sport
Me too.
Megane 225
Yeah same with mine. On the limiter it hits about 72ish in second
Yeah its up to full temp, like i say it hits 65 on the speedo in 2nd but its only doing 58 which is too far out for the normal tolerances of the speedo which makes me think i have a different box.
My worst fears are i might have a normal clio box, not sure if this is possible but it does worry me. All i have to go on is a receipt that says 172 Renaultsport gearbox on it but i cant see why it would be so wrong on the speedo.

dCi 65 + C2 (<Sold)
It's possible. What's your cars SH like? Some dealers have a habit of stripping cars of their good parts and sticking sh*t in instead. I'd get it checked.
The service history is immaculate, the problem is the box broke 40 miles after i picked it up on my way home so it was then up to them to fix it. They showed me a receipt for a reconditioned box from a renault specialist (cant remember the name tho but did have renault logos all over the letterhead etc) which said reconditioned 172 renaultsport gearbox but thats all i have to go off.
Like you say can never trust some people, it could just be a standard box. Im thnking of getting the car to the local renault stealer and getting them to do a full appraisal of the car.
The SH is immaculate tho, its done 78K had belts done twice and was a company car in london for most of its life so anything that was even advised was done without hesitation. Thats what convinced me to buy it to be fair.

I've never seen the ph2 172 quoted at 6.7, iirc that's the 182.fUbAr said:
In reality there's nothing in it. If my box ever goes I'll try and get a cup box though.

I think parkers quote 6.7 for a ph2 172 and 6.4 for the cup.
Whatever it is I don't care. Mine seems to go ok!

End of the day, whoever cares least about the car, dumps the clutch and rushes the gears through as quick as possible will most likely be quickest.Roy Munson said:
Unless it's a cup. No chance then.
Yup. 0-60 is for pub talk and people who wonder why they're on their fourth gearbox.
"I can do 0-60mph 0.3s quicker than the newer version of my car"
"What car is it?"
"A Clio"
"Roffle, dick."

As does my phase 2 in 2nd.

What you should take away from all this is that fly by wire is naff.
