hmm, see this makes me think even more that you bought a tired old example or something was seriously wrong. I replaced all the suspension on mine, I mean the entire lot and the difference was quite amazing. It's never been and never should be twitchy, the whole reason I loved the car so much was it was the opposite. Stable until a point where it starts to go and the chassis is so compliant that you can correct the skid/slide without that panic factor you get in other cars. In the bends mine was solid and almost infinitely adjustable. This was on totally standard suspension (with correct non Cup springs) all purchased from those c**ts at Reno.

Ignorance = bliss
By all means ignore me, but no one has challenged my point yet... then again I'd have called it common sense, maybe there is hope for Clio Sport afterall :rasp:
we should call the Cup "low fat" or possibly "semi skimmed"

Have to disagree with you. Seen many threads mention FF with cup packs.

Us Trophy owners are more defensive than V6 owners. Actuall, maybe not.
Black Gold with cup packs
Cup + H&R's =
Do it Scotland.
It's the only way forward!

Your wrong. The FF term started how i said. (back end of 2003 when the 182 was introduced) But through people not understanding fully, with all the different options etc, its now ff this ff that. As said there is no such thing as a ff 172. Its just a 172. Hense a 182 (basic) is just a 182. Then a 182 Cup, then a 182 ff (with cup packs) and a Me and Dr Rollo will educate.

I replaced literally everything, top mounts, bottom ball joints etc etc etc, dont know how much of a difference it would make, but I'd guess it's a fair bit. Also why would you need standard suspension setting up? Just throw it on and get the tracking done, sorted. TBH I think your example was probably a nail, mechanically most/a lot are, but they are old as f**k.

Ran 149 on the rollers. Had decat/zorst and K&N thing, so not down on power...
On track was fine...But didn't inspire much confidence...was 2 and a bit seconds a lap slower than my 172...Unfair comparison and 4 slower than the vee.

Ali, try my Trophy next week, then decide. Cup's the best colour, but as an every day car I prefer to have ABS and air-con. That's not a dig at all the cup owners, just my preference.
Mustang, S13, AX GT
RSTuning remap apparently does a pretty good job of gettin some torque low down though

Drag race will prove nothing, other than who's more willing to abuse their clutch/gearbox.
