New guy...



  Clio 172 CUP / ZX6R C1h
Afternoon all,

Ok...I created an account this morning...then spent AGEEES composing a hello thread ~ then when I clicked submit..it asked me for my username and password again...which it then didnt accept so I had to re-set it...then the same happened again.then I got locked for 15 mins! Grrrr....

Anyways.

Hello everyone. I picked up my MINT Clio 172 CUP about three weeks ago...And I absolutly love it. It just handles sooo bloody well.And not many people seem to know what It is or what its capible of. This does cause alot of people to come right up behind me to force what they think is a wee 1.2 clio with a nice blue body kit on...but that doesnt really matter. lol. The only down with it ( up until last saturday but I will get to that ) Was that a previous rude-Boi owner had felt the need tp whack a mahoooosive big exhaust on the back..which sticks out underneith the bumper by about a mile.

I have been talking to someone on Youtube known as MarkCup70. He pointed me in this direction.

Im seriously looking forwards to taking the cup on the track...and I have a feeling it will seriously excell there. And im no stranger to our tracks as ive spent the last 5 or so years playing and racing on them on my motomocyclette.

As I said...My beautiful car was MINT.... until last saturday...when ~ Whilst christmas shopping I drove into a parking space at about 4 mph...went to actually stop...and the car didnt want to...Bumped into a parking post thingy..and its sone ALOT more damage than I expected... I knew these cars were light for a reason...but SERIOUSLY. I think I will need a new bumper..new grill which obviously doubles up as the piece of plastic on the slam panel...and POSSIBLE a new slam panel. Fantastic. You guys know anywhere I could start looking? Already looked at Ebay.

Oh also..about the name..its from when I was young and stupid on Bike forums..Just wanted to keep the same name so people who happen to know those forums might see me. Although I may change it once ive been here for a while.

Would I be right in thinking one of these guys would be steve79? I might be getting in touch with him soon if it is!

Thanks for the welcome fella. Times are a little tight right now...being Christmas and all. I will call him as soon as possible though. As the front bumper alarm button doesnt seem to be sitting quite right...and that annoying Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep...that comes on sometimes when I lock the doors is TRE annoying!

Howdy :approve:

Sorry to hear baout the bump...I almost did the exact same thing in my Focus at work yesterday, slowly into parking space, and continue going towards next door's compactor. Stopped, got out, no more than 5mm left to go, phew.

It's winter (the annual Cup cull LOL) so before long there'll be a freshly binned 172 Cup for you to scavenge for a replacement bumper etc.

Hahaha, yeah I have noticed the Cups REALLY dont seem to like winter. But to be hoenst....JUST before that happened ( As in from thursday when the snow started to saturday ) I was driving around fine. Saying to my Girlfriend " ABS.... Pffftt.....its for girls, I dont have it and im doing fine...Why are all these people crashing there cars in this weather? My cars called the *Widow maker* and im fine "


So..... perhaps it was just carma!

Ive already sorced all the parts for the front....I just hope its the slam panel and plastic thats causing the bonnet to be slightly up....As Im not keen on having to shell out for another Bonnet to! :(
