My Little Clio Cup
Discussion
Had this for a few months now.
Clio 172 Cup in Iceburg Silver one of 33 made in this colour with Climate Control. So far its been remapped and has an induction kit to Aid breathing, Matched Inlets are on the way as well, just waiting for them to be sent out. Was rolling roaded at Janspeed last week and is doing 177bhp at the fly.
Booked on my 1st track day at Brands Hatch on the 21st August, mixed feeling of excitement and Nervs

Technically its not touched my Wallet as its all been paid for by Performancetuner Mag and Perfomance french car who I have helped out for a couple of product features.
The 172 never actually made 172ps out of the box mine standard was 164.9bhp
Good to see some honesty about performance gained from mods to a car instead of the usual willy waving 'it's got a K&N and new exhaust that gives me 50bhp, said so on the box' The 172 never actually made 172ps out of the box mine standard was 164.9bhp
Good luck with the trackday!

Totaly agree to many people have no concept of what gains they are realy getting
Nice car I have a S2 172 as my driver at the mo and loving it.

Im yet to look at exhaust systems, Will probably be next on my list, That said My Cam belt is due this December and it did cross my mind about putting a set of cams in while im at it.
The decision to fit a new exhaust was kind of forced upon me....when the OE back box fell off! Thought I'd stick a sports cat on it while I was at it. Very happy with it.Plan to leave mine alone apart from perhaps an RS Tuner remap at some point (as its relatively cheap!). Don't think inlet manifold matching is worth it on an apparently strong engine like mine. Cams/ITBs' etc are all silly money IMO.
Its the RStuner Map 98ron I have on mine - WELL worth the 150 Euros they charge (Although I got mine for nothing) It makes the car feel like a new one and the 7600 Red line is nice
Cant reccomend it enough, even on a standard car I would say its worth it, I dont think there is a mod out there that offers "more bang for your buck"

No point in Willy waving power figures IMOTotaly agree to many people have no concept of what gains they are realy getting

I always look to Rolling road before and after to check what power if any a modification has given and also to check the car is doing what its meant to with any changes made...

very nice - i have a bit of a soft spot for them
They are great little cars, must admit I really enjoy it.that said the only performance cars I have ever had the pleasure to drive was an Evo 7 which was amazing, loved it but didnt love the fuel consumption and it was a bit big to chuck it about in every day driving. And an E36 M3 Evo with Nitrous which was good fun.
But for an everyday car i much prefer the Clio.

shouldnt renault be made accountable under the trade descriptions act? 7hp down? nice car though but why the need for manufacturers to put fake carbon fibre everywhere these days?The 172 never actually made 172ps out of the box mine standard was 164.9bhp
