03 172 cup
i joined last october coz was thinking bout gettin a clio but then didnt come on here for a while and have only had my cup 2 weeks so am new.
looked on parkers and they say a ph1 172 00reg is 0-60 in 7 secs and 138mph top and the 172 cup 03 reg is 0-60 in 6.7 and a 138mph top

same as mate,well guess im guna have to go out and find some ph1s.lol
The difference in them is tiny you get good cups and good phase 1 172's
The phase 1 172engine are usually better as they don't use the turbo head so usually make more power but the Cups don't have aircon so there some poiwer gained there and they were slightly more.
I'd go for a phase 1 personally but in the phase 2 shell. The phase 1 has the better (IMO) suspension setup and the proper cable throttle body not like the phase 2 and the Cups which have electric ones.

^^ they did the same with the 19's but royally screwed it up. and the clio 16v's got the ph2 box hence them getting left by ph1 19 16v's
The old 172 engine used a better head for more flow the later cars used the same had as the turbo Megan etc engines use.Steve2004 said:
Also more importantly is the proper throttle cable which is worth more even if the phase 2 had more power.
GT_gaz I'll have to catch you some time kep seing you drive round the village anwya your cars not stock and is a quick one anyway isn't it?
Sorry Edde but that throttle business is a royal load of b****cks. Does the Cup suffer from having fbw? Does it make it slower? Less easy to adjust on the throttle? I'll let MarkCup/Jon r/ Chris n nic answer that on for you 
And a few simple mods has seen my 172 comfortably pass a 172 Cup....

When will it ever end!!

Yep I wondered how long you were going to follow me for I was driving to Germany so it would have been interesting.
Laingo - Each to there own I knwo a lot of people who prefere the phase 1 setup and people who modify the ones with drive by wire to a normal throttle bodyies I agree its not by any means bad though.

I wasn't having a go at you mate..... more trying to make the point that it's down to individual cars as to which is quicker in my experience. The 172 Cups generally seem the quicker car, but not always.
As I said, I overtook one @ silly speeds (think it's the 8krpm limiter that does it - 125 in 4th lol). Whereas I've struggled to hang on to a 182 FF in a straightline....... down to individual cars for the most part imho.
Oh and Stafford - No chance. Not if my balls were on fire and it was the only place in the country with a working hosepipe. LOL!
I think really important question would be which is faster LHD or RHD 
Me being right-handed it's faster to change gears with my righthand
And i have phase 1 172 with alloy bonnet and silver is the fastest colour...
