Ive owned a Phase 1 and a 172 cup and IMO if your budget will stretch to a decent Cup, this is the one to buy. Having test driven a few full fat 172's before taking the plunge on the Cup I will agree that the throttle response in a phase 1 is drastically quicker than in a FF. I did not find the...

I would be up for showing my face at a black mountain run. I usually do my hooning on a Sunday morning when the roads are quiet. Maybe a South East Wales meet on the B4560?

Is there plenty of tread left on your front Tyres? My cup was a mess of torque steer when I got it o half worn "event" Tyres. Changed to the standard fit continental sport contacts at the correct pressure and it transformed the car!

Would like to get to this one, il try and remember to check back here every so often

I know the OP has managed it now but for anyone else needing help there is. Guide on here, http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?458557-Electric-Window-Mechanism-Replacement I followed the guide and it is not that difficult. Worst part is removing the door card! Tom

I've had three and theyve all been great in their own way. I've had... 1999 Clio RN 1.2 8v 2000 Renaultsport Clio 172 phase 1 2.0 16v 2002 Renaultsport Clio Cup 2.0 16v Cup drives the best, phase 1 looked the best, 1.2 was good fun for what it was!

yeh im going for an "OEM" look with it. Just want the cup splitter it should have come with originally. The wheels and all the rest of it are staying exactly as Renault intended!

Thanks mate, im pretty happy with it. It could use a splitter though!

Just posting to say hello as ive finally got around to renewing my CS membership. Ive been on here a few years but my membership ran out and I didnt renew when I had to get rid of my Phase 1 172 due to repair costs and had to make do with a Saxo VTS(great cars) for 8 months. After splitting from...

PM'd mate

They would be on the car as a set of track wheels, the turinis are fine for road. If adaptors are a bit much effort I will have to flog the VTs rims and get some cheap used alloys for track. Looks like they are going to have to go on eBay.

Hi all, As title says, I have a set of VTS alloys from my old Saxo and was wondering what I would need to fit them to my 172 cup. Will hub adaptors do the job, and if so will they be strong enough for track use? Thanks Tom

Would like to go on one of these meets next time its happening. Drive those roads alot, always worth the trip!

There is quite a difference between the two but i would'nt open that can of worms mate! Im sure when people buy either they make an informed choice and are aware of each cars strengths and weaknesses. Having owned a phase 1 previously when I went on the hunt for my next Clio I tried quite a few...
