After selling my punto HGT 2 years ago (still miss that car :(), I went for a Seat Ibiza Cupra, but having got bored of Turbo power (plus it was on 122k), I decided to go back to N/A, and collected an 03 Renault Clio 172 Cup today, only 28k on the clock too (please note I will be removing the tints in the near future). Pictures below :

Nice car be careful with the back end they can bite hard, a mate used to have an identical one to that but backed it into a tree on a tightening corner. He learned his lesson and bought a none cup 172 with ESP and ABS etc.

You don't want it to look like this!..massive shame because it was a great car.

not always true, mate of mine is on cams and boddies in his 172, and only just touching 198bhp.

cars nice though best colour for them imo!

Nice ant.

Good tuneable engines in these. Plenty of fun and with some nice breathing mods and cams you should be touching 200bhp.

I like that style of Clio, best of the lot but shame its not the rally blue as thats gorgeous:)

Cheers for the comments :)

*Small update*

Added a Piper Cat back system with a 3" outwardly rolled tailpipe, cut the recess and fitted the trim easily enough :-









Seems to fit well and sounds mint too :)
 
A place called Birchdown Autos, was reccomended on Cliosport and I can see why - top service :), and at an unbeatable price too!

Good guys for you up north fella, my 182cup is going in to GDI next week for new disks, pads, SS hoses and cam belt :)

*Update*

- Ordered some KW V1 coilovers, which should 'hopefully' arrive next week and will be fitted before the French Car Show all being well.

- Also fitted uprated blue HT leads and new spark plugs.

Will update next when coilovers are fitted

Cheers

Anthony:)
