Hi guys
i have got a new job and now have to travel 22 miles to and from work, so a 44 mile round trip in my 172cup.
So I am debating whether to get a diesel or not.
when I went to fill up I reset the trip computer.
filled up to the click so full tank: managed 405.4 miles (petrol light had...
Hi guys
well detailing car today, took wheels off doing inside of wheels & arches, putting last wheel back on tightening bolts and snap!
took wheel back off and bolt thread left in and can not get it out.
any one had this happen? will need drilling out? Going to be expensive?
:(

Hi guys, was a member on here around 3 years ago when I had my 172cup. Now I'm back!
Just brought another 172cup
in time between I had impreza p1, civic type r, focus st, mazda rx8.
missed the little Clio great little cars
my old 1 was fully stripped, sparco seats, 182 mani etc
told myself...
had my clio just over a year now, and thinking i fancy a change been looking at few civic type r's. have been offered 1 in straight swap, my 53plate 172 cup 37k miles mint, for 02 plate black civic type r 80k miles.
i no the civic has lot higher milage but they seem to hold there money a lot...
when it is wet or slightly damp, when go to put my foot down in 1st and sometimes 2nd the car seems to jump about and sounds like its knocking from front, instead of wheels just spinning up.
any ideas??
When you start my car it's sluggish for the first 5mins or so. So thought I'd give it a service and change the spark plugs and igition leads. When we got to the spark plugs the second one from the left was filled with oil... :S.
been told it could be rocker cover gasket??
just had a idea, doing my 172cup wheels like a neon orange. not sure what it would look like, might look ok, might look crap lol. just want to see what it would look like.:D
i got a 182 mani to put on my 172cup, will a 182 decat pipe fit the mani to the 172 exhaust?
i no there is a link pipe on ktec for this upgrade, but a mate told me a 182 decat will fit, which i can get cheaper.
hey first hope everyone had a good day at trax.
did anyone take there car down 0-60 strip, if so what sort of time did you get?
i had 1 run in my 172cup made 6.35 which i didnt think was to bad for first time. think if done few more runs could of got it bit quicker as when changed into 2nd went...
when im driving in the damp and put my foot down and start to loose traction the car hops as well as like banging noises. (not the best of descriptions i no lol)
only happens when i give it the beans an its trying to find grip.
its quite hard to describe:S
any1 have any ideas?
what does it mean when that flashes up?
i was coming round a corner, put my foot down to about 4.5k it flashed up so backed off :S. it never came on again.
any1 no?
currently i have a k-tec stealth with there de-cat fitted to my 172cup, its very loud and raspy/tinny. wanting something a bit more grunty/throaty if you no what i mean.
what exhaust would you recommend? im likeing the look of k-tec recessed exhaust would this give the sound im after?:S

stripped my interior, looked a bit tatty where it wasnt painted etc, so had all the interior sprayed. also fitted my new sparco evo seats. so thought id post up a few pics for u all :D
