Some nice shots of my replacement 172cup. 'T6 CUP' plus some Bedford pics

[Porkie]

My old Clio 172cup unfortunately died in a roll at Bedford! but most of the good bits survived and have now gone into a new car!

I took a four of my cars to Bedford last saturday and my brother in law ended up driving my Clio home. He LOVES it now and as a thanks for letting him hammer it on track he gave it a clean and took some shots of it for me.
Thought I would share!

Was great day at Bedford with all these to play with and the sun shining!

Will post some more pics of the trackday when they have uploaded... the highlight of the day though was playing with my mate in our Cosworth powered westys! These 2 have over 1000bhp between them!!!! was NUTS!

 

[Nashy]

Awsome! The cup looks fantastic!

 

[106GTi97]

[Beef-Mc]

Cracking shots from the Brother in law, really like the first pic.

 

[Brookie.]

[Gally]

Simply awesome mate, a fantastic example of a cup!

Photographs came out superb mate, oh did I mention 2118's are for hero's.

 

[Adam.]

Brilliant!

Although the wheel bolts let it down a bit

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Really nice shots, car looks mint!

 

[Josh93]

seems you have a reasonable collection of cars there mate!

 

[Mr Pants]

That is quite possibly my favourite Arctic ever. Looks frickin' awesome that!

Still love the fact you have all these awesome cars and still love the Clio! Legend.

[Leeshez]

Looks the same!

 

[Porkie]

Thanks guys, will show Antony my bro in law this link. He takes some great shots and will appreciate the feedback.

Loving the way it looks.

Thinking of loosing the RenaultF1 sticker though. thoughts?

also have black sunstrip for screen to go on...

and was thinking about changing the Tiny little badges on door pillars that say '172' to say '200' in the same Yellow font as thats what power its kicking out now. (its on ITB's and Omex management) is that gash or cool idea?

I agree

I actually have 3 sets of speedlines. 888's in black for road. Anthacite with Dunlop slicks. and the Silver ones now have Dunlop wet slicks on

 

[Fletcher]

Looks great :approve:

Agree, my first cup was modded for stud and nuts... had some nice black wheel nuts.

This one will be as well. Looks better and make it MUCH easier to change wheels in a hurry at a trackday.

 

[.Andy.]

That cup is stunning! Looks like an awesome day! I want 2118's and you have 3 sets!

Git:rasp:

 

[Gally]

Stunning dude. Any pics of the crashed cup?

 

[harribo66]

Clio Looks awesome mate, very nice cars you have there!

 

[Mark-172]

Great collection of cars you have there mate, clio looks top notch. I want one of those westfields !

 

[Sheepish]

BRB GOIN TO CHANGE MI BOXERS HAHA
SWEET AS MATE NICE ONE

 

[oliver.james]

Great photos! :approve:

Really like your new cup; was it running the 'bodies when you bought it? Or, have you had the ITB work done?

Westy is my favourite, I think :evil:

 

[Cookson]

Thinking of loosing the RenaultF1 sticker though. thoughts?

You've actually made me want to put mine on now, lol

As for the old cup..... you have a habit of having cars roll on you Lee :dapprove:

 

[Jimbo_M]

Lovely cup matey!! I really really like this it is very clean yet still tracked, and i think the blue speedline writing on the 2118's compliments the mondial paint work well...nice touch

me too... so much so that I think I gave just ordered some more blue speedline stickers and will have all the wheels done in black rather than silver and anthacite

 

[hollandcup]

Wow!

What an excellent example of a cup thats how it should be done, brilliant.

I had the old car fitted with ITB's and Omex ECU and Gripper plated diff and uprated clutch by Jamsport. All this was then taken from old car and put into new one.

Westy is NUTS.... was leaving two HUGE wide black ' 11's ' everywhere at Bedford. Felt amazing trying to keep it straight whilst banging through the Sequential box. I got out feeling like a proper hero driver! and was also shaking... its SCARY!

have some videos from inside all the cars from the day. Westy is just on another planet.... best vids are from the Lotus and the Ferrari though as had some awesome battles withg some mates and a dude in a GT3

will post links if people want?

 

[oliver.james]

Westy sounds fun/handful!! :approve:

Definitely interested in having a look at the videos

I'm sure the majority would also!

I was there on Saturday with the grey megane, so all of those are yours? Had a good look over the 172, looked nicely sorted - I'd lose the stickers personally though. Was more impressed with your exige though! I had a passenger ride in the orange NA one that was there and it made me want one even more.

I didn't see you take the ferrari out on track...

ETA: Links to vids please!

 

[Wick]

Great photos, The cup looks fantastic!!

 

[Y7 ADW]

Another superb looking 172. 2118s look great in black.

Yes all mine. Ferrari was out late on. Had a good tear up with the other 430 that was there.... will upload vids and post. Ferrari is VERY capable on track and alot of fun. ALOT faster than I was expecting it to be when I bought it to be honest! I mean nothing troubled me in my ExigeS all day as I know Bedford VERY well... and Ferrari is ALOT faster even just on normal Pirellis... Will get some Corsas for it next time it needs tires.

I wasn't out in it till later on as I had both my girlfriend and my sis and bro in law there and my uncle. So I spent alot of my time in passenger seat instructing and making sure they were having fun rather actually driving the cars myself!!!! (hence why one minute they were flying and the next going slowly!!! was lots of different drivers in them!)

Am at Bedford this friday again.... I will take some videos from in the Clio. It goes VERY well for what is. Awesome little thing! Would definately fancy my chances against the orange NA Exige around Bedford thats for sure I know that place inside out

Lucky you, I go 3 or 4 times a year and then a few other places on top - so I suppose you didn't mind the over booking and not getting on track till 10am! Hopefully off to Donnington at end of month (with ET again...) assuming I can get the holiday from work.

I don't think the orange NA exige was pushing terribly hard. His cornering speeds were still 10/15 mph more than my megane, and nothing overtook us in the 4/5 laps I passengered, but it's more how it drives that I loved, and also reving to over 8000 RPM. I had a 182 before (not stripped/slicked etc like yours) and it was lots of fun, but nothing like the exige. Thinking about it, given how your 172 is stripped + running 200hp + on slicks, you've probably got a better power to weight ratio and more cornering grip, so you really should be significantly quicker than a pretty standard NA exige in all honesty.

NB - I don't recall having to move over for your clio in my 250 on Saturday!

 

[Jon.G]

Oh my. They are some great photos.
Are you a member of some elusive cherished plate club? lol.

 

[Harpham]

Looks amazing!! Those wheels look absolute p**n in black with the blue detailing.
