as above just bought a clio 172 phase 1 jobbie 33k from new one owner ,b+m quick shift and sports exhaust system ,not sure what make, oh and induction kit ..goes very well ,also got a trailer to take it around on... ive had various track cars before subaru impreza, corsa redtop, 2wd saff,but wanted a small quick ish car hopefully this will do the job ,just need some brake pads for front before next track day ?trying to enjoy track days on a budget , my mates drive m3 track cars and cosworths ,so think i am going to get my ass kicked will post a few pics tomorrow if any one interested there does seem to be a few of them on here nowoh and i hate renaults ..

 

yer get some pics up

 

172,s are pretty good track toys bud; you'll have just as much fun in your 172 as your mates in the m3's & cossies

 

Welcome to the passion Clio Club

 

i know they are fairly fast but ive got the more power bughope its quick enough too keep me going for a while must keep telling myself its only fun ,and its cheap ish power

 

great wee cars!

cant beat a quick french hatch!

 

What are they like with 100k+ miles? are they good for it or do they start to fall to bits etc

 

his mrs likes it my mrs likes them only 1 answer









girls car

 

Mine hasn't and she gets a beating and is on track next week.... its good when they go that high as they're cheaper YAY....


Carbone Lorraine brake pads are apparently the way to go- £101.05 delivered from K tec racing.

mate its a renault,,,,,,,, that happens within the first 100 miles !!!

 

those 172's arnt a bad motor at all, i used to have a 182ff & in fairness wasnt slow, apariently they only have a top speed of 135mph or so but i had over 140 out of my 182 & that was befor the shift light came on, on a 172 its orange just incase u dont know,

 

Surly a 182 would be quicker than a 200bhp turbo car

 

i missed sumthin?

 

you were saying its not fast, but not slow(i think), im just saying its probably quicker than your currant car(if you sig is up to date)

Basically take no notice i was being sarcy

 

btw jc has one and davecos4x4 took me out in it and jc took out my missus,,, i LOVED it, seriously was soo much fun ect ect

the missus,,, she wasnt so good about it and the next year at the ring i had to talk her into letting jc take her for a lap again but in the impreza,,,, where she threw up pmsl

id SERIOUSLY consider getting one !!

best fun in a car ive had

 

arite i get you know.lol. my sig aint up to date though unfortunatly got a poxy mk 2 focus 1.6 tdci thing now which is no comparison to an rs i want another

 

Still have your bits Kev

 

get some pics up mate

 

this is the jcmotorsport clio having fun

 

was that at croft for the durham derbishire rs show?

 

yeha prob, hes either driving that or a scoobie RA, JC is a top lad and you cant miss him or hes possie pmsl

 

lol. i remember seen it, was canny impressed made me wish i tracked my old 182 rather than selling it cheap

 

if you knew what the jc one cost to build,, you would build one i promise you

 

how much then? me & a mate are planning on gettin a car between us untill we gain abit of track experiance, i fancy a accident damaged 1 to bodge back together (never to be regesterd on road) to use. a nice 172 cup would be my ideal choice

 

i saw one on the trader for £1600, just needs paint on the corner of the front bumper i think

 

The Silver 172 at croft (durham derby meet) was mine and my brothers. We were the only PH1 there.

nice

 

would need t be cheaper than that mate down in the 3 figure margine, wont be looking till january ish though.



that ph1 at croft was spot on i think it went canny well tbh,

 

Was it this year you saw it or the year before - reason I ask is that I was driving it at Croft the year before - its what made me go out & buy mine 2months later!!!

Thats no excuse you lazy toad.









Joking
