1. It doesnt have a spare wheel. It has two foam canister things that you inject into the tyre valve to harden the tyre to get you home/garage.
2. The standard wheel is 16" with 195/45/16s i think.
2. 3mm lower than standard 172 and the cup has a slightly wider track. (im sure someone will...
Ive tried the search but couldnt find the post i was looking for.
Can you do me a favour and post pics of your interior? Im looking at getting some buckets in my cup but want to know what it would look like first. Also can you tell me if the airbag light stays on constantly after installing...
Ive got one question. Why is everyone trying to get rid of there 172s?? Its a great car with a lot of performace. Ive had mine a year and wouldnt dream of selling it.
The exact same thing happend to me not long ago, was going round the roundabout in third doing 25 mph and the back end just slid out. Hit a kerb in the process which damaged my front wheel!!:@
It certainly woke me up!!!
Ive got a sneaky feeling mine have gone too after 11K!!!! :@How will i be able to tell if they have? Ive looked for oil but theres none; the ride is hard a fcuk tho.
My cup is due to go in for its 12k service, just want to know if they check the suspension during the service. The reason i want to know is because im sure my suspension if fooked as the ride seems 10x harder than when i first got the car. So the suspension is either knackerd or im getting too...
Hey it was my idea to get my turinis done black!! I stay off the forum for a day and everyones pinching my idea!lol ;)
They do look fecking awesome like!! Im defo getting them babies done. Do you reckon you could have a polished rim aswell on the turini????
Ive been searching for 10mins and i cant find any pics of dark coloured/black turinis.....Im sure someone had a cup with a dark shadow chrome refurb on them, anyone got any pics????
Thanks
Has anyone got these fitted? Ive just ordered some for my two front wheels of my cup. My contis didnt last long!!:o Getting the pair for £135.
Any reports on these good/bad?
TBH mate, Ive had my cup 10 months and I cant remember ever locking the brakes and beleive me I do drive my car hard when the conditions, road etc suit. I know not to go crazy in the wet. I have had a few occasions where really hard braking was required and i can remember applying the brakes...
The cup sorts the men from the boys! ;) If your not confident enough or dont trust yourself not to crash it then dont buy it. Stick to your 1.2 or normal 172, not really that much difference in performance anyways :D So u gonna be a man or a mouse??? lol
What do you see in the vx220 (non turbo) which is noticeably better than the 182? Obviously it looks better but thats about it, you will find that 0-100 they are about the same, yes it will handle a bit better but will it be worth getting rid of the 182 for that tho. I wouldnt swap unless you...
Can anybody tell me if a registered feb (2002) Clio Authentique has a digital display where the time is shown, outside temp and cd player details???? The reason I need to know is because the renault cd player out of a 172 cup has been put into a Authentique but the person is claiming that the...
£17 for a new code:o......i should have more faith in you guys as ive just wasted my petrol going to the dealer....i did get the code but only to get back home and check my service book like yous said and its in there!!:@
J3ned thanks anyways!
Ive just realised that I dont appear to have a radio code for the standard clio cd headunit. Are you supposed to receive this when you buy the car???
thanks
my first car was the 1.2 16v Sport (the original), they were rare when i had mine back in late 99. I loved it but i never thought it was fast, but it did look the nuts when pulling in the petrol station.
Its down to the driver and the tyres. My tyres are shot to pieces so if a 1.2 (with more than 0.8mm tread) tried it on while on a twisty road im sure it would have no problem keeping up as i cant go round the bends at more than 45 mph/
