I've changed mine without replacing anything. there is also a guide on here if you get stuck.

Hi Snails, i have a ktec racing stealth cat back exhaust fitted on my 172 cup. Its stainless steel and sounds near standard, it also fits behind the bumper just as the standard one does. I bought the car with a yozza fitted, but for everyday use found this far too loud, so fitted the stealth...

Lovely looking car, and that plate is awesome.

Where abouts in Yorkshire are you?

The finish looks awesome, would definately be interested in some.

Damn it i'm getting married on the saturday, and heading off on the honeymoon on sunday, i will suggest postponing the wedding till the week after but i'm not sure the missus will be happy.

Good to meet you all today and the photos turned out pretty good. Many thanks again.

Bloody pheasants, i hit one in my audi a few years ago when i lived in scotland, destroyed my front grille. Quite a heavy bird and obviously got a brain the size of a pea, so i sympathise with you. Should be able to make it in the morning as we're off to sunny Castleford to see the daughter...

hell, i might even turn up myself just to see if Andy has cleaned his car.

No apologies needed Mike, i should have checked on the sunday morning before i left. My stupidity really. If it gets organised again count me in.

possibly so mate just hoped somebody might turn up

After joining Cliosport late last year after buying a 172 cup, i thought i'd come along to a meet. Today we were supposed to meet in Leeds and drive through to the Rythre Arms near Tadcaster for a drink and a chat. Well nobody showed up either in Leeds or at the mushroom farm and not even at the...

Love the colour and the carbon engine cover. What strut brace is it you've fitted, is it an omp?

When i bought my cup it had a Yozza fitted and although i loved the noise especially when it was above 5k revs, my other half and my ears objected. Now, i travel a fair few miles a week and eventually i thought it might be a good idea to purchase something quieter. So a KTEC stealth was...

i read your build diary on the 225 megane last night, fantastic car mate. Are you still enjoying it?

Well i'm going to get all the belts done and dephaser pulley, just for peace of mind really. Then i will fit my omp steering wheel as mine has melted pretty badly. Want to get a carbon bonnet and get the front end painted again as its got a fair few stonechips. Other than that i'm not sure, it...

The car is running Fk coilovers at the mo. They were on when i bought it. Probably a little stiff to be honest

I thought it might be a touch low, but i haven't come across a speedbump that i cant get over. Lol.

Yeh you're right i do need to make my mind up. I bought the car with them on and as i'm getting married in 11 weeks, the cup fund is a little low at the mo. no excuse really i know, but thats the only one i've got. After the wedding i will be getting some carbon bullets and refurbing the wheels...

As the weather was so good today i thought i would wash the car again. Thats twice this week, already. I just wish it would stay clean for longer than half an hour. Let me know what you think?

30!! god i wish i was 30 again. I'm 43 and just bought my first 172 cup late last year. Absolutely love the car, the Yozza is a touch loud and the coilovers a tad stiff for the shocking roads around here but other than that, i think it's a damn good motor. Obviously i have to put up with endless...

many thanks Rob, i have next week off work so will get it sorted then.

Many thanks for the advice Fred, i will have a look this weekend.

Can any of you guys help me with a problem i have with the speedo on my 52 plate 172 cup? I haven't owned the car for too long but when i first drive the car the speedo always works, but during the drive the speedo stops working. Sometimes it starts again, sometimes not, but after parking up and...

Hi there i joined the forum a few weeks ago and have myself a 172 cup, i live between York and Wetherby and wondered whether their were any members around here. Thanks for reading my thread and i look forward to hearing from you.

i joined the forum a few months ago to read as much as pos on the 172 cup, at the time i owned a diesel vectra. I knew in my heart that the vectra wasn't for me, it had no heart or soul. I didn't get excited at the thought of driving it, it was just a tool to get me and the family from A to B...

Hi everyone, well i'm new to all this forum stuff so you'll have to bare with me. I should say i haven't got a clio just yet, but i hope to remedy that in the next couple of weeks or so. I am hoping to buy a 172 cup, but wasnt sure what to look for in a genuine 172 cup. I realise the cup hasn't...
