Iceberg 172
Ah! My gf lives in Caterham! Where abouts?
it was my old car
nice, did you enjoy it?
I agree completely, its just that I had a budget in mind and now its growing.
If I do it I have to be sure its the right one.

With every car I've had after my first car I've said "I'm going to leave this standard" and it never happens! You join a forum and you see all these mods, next thing you know you've managed to spend £2000!
I'd really reccomend getting one that's been owned by an enthusiast with all the "must do" mods done already. Will save you a lot of cash.

this makes me sad. if insurance would allow id buy a ph1 now.
Lee, welcome to the forum
You know I'm biased, but glad you went for the ph1. I hate you a little bit for having 2118's though!
When do you pick it up, i'll pop over to compare.
Thanks mate, I didnt take the 2118's purely because I dont want white wheels. If they were grey or silver....
Pick up in about 10days once Steve has had the service and oem suspension put back on.
Hope your well!

172 cup!! fastest clio sports you can get even if if it is only mili-seconds.
only come in blue and silver. already stripped out and lighter than any other clio sport and have cup suspension which is lower and stiffer so best for track days
you would pay £4000_4500 for a low milage FSH looked after 172cup, paying that bit more for a looked after one with low milage and FSH is well worth it, thats what i did

I got a low mileage Phase 1 3 years ago, i now have a 182.
I prefer the Phase 1, throttle cable helps you win at life

There is nothing in it between all the 1*2's.
Only Cup owners seem to shout that its the fastest of the bunch
Cups are not stripped out, they're just poverty spec.
Hi Christopher
Bought it over 3 years ago and have only just sold it.
It was originally silver but I had it wrapped, runs 460ish as standard but I had new turbos/wastegates fitted, fueling, mapping, clutch, upgraded hoses, DV's and most importantly a good geo.
It was running a reliable 650... 0-60 in 3.9 with wheelspin and 60-100 in 3.2s
Great car but I realised i prefer NA, especially on track!
yeah we shout it because the facts on paper say that, and its all we have haha.
from all the tests magazinges have done the 172 cup always hits 0-60 fastest even if it is only 0.2 seconds quicker its still quicker lol.
im a renault sport fan in general so im not being biased. i chose a 172cup, iv been in a phase one and a trophy it was just my choice, i just think they look smarter anyway but if you have a low budget then a phase1 is still a good choice
197 F1 team next for me i think but gota add the black ktec side skirts splitter and cup spoiler!!!

You wont make a mistake buying a Renault Sport Clio, the vast majority of paid members have had more than one, they are just so addictive not to mention cheap to run for what they offer in the way of performance.
The equivalent on other marques i.e the Civic Type R's/Golf GTi's etc will be/are the more expensive cars to buy and run.. im on my second, quite fancy a 197 next!
