Willows got her self a new shopping trolley and as long as its looked after it
becomes my RING ride for this year and track and sprint car when wanted.

Clio Cup 172

A Cup has has a few differences over a normal 172 for people not in the know,
bigger rear spoiler, a lower front spoiler and 16inch Speedline Turini alloy
wheels. The front track was also increased by 20mm the rear track by 10mm
and the castor of the front wheels was also increased. These changes added
up to a more responsive car to drive, even over the already crisp handling
Renault Clio 172.

And plenty of room for the pram.

Current mods.

K-Tec cat back exhaust
K-Tec carbon splitter
K-Tec twisted gearbox mount
ITG panel filter
Apex lowering springs

Future mods

Front and rear strut braces

Braided hosed Done
My seat from the drift car (need a 2nd one at some point) Fitted

Set of these

Wrapped in these (are these ok for sprinting, class's, regs etc???) Hopefully collecting on the 26th

A few of us (me included) got taken out by one of the regulars in one of these at the Ring. It is a very impressive cars and I found myself thinking.....fwd cars arent supposed to be this fast and handle this well !!

A great buy mate, you wont be disappointed.

Nice car from a former owner.

Has it had the cambelt done quite expensive job?

I have some spares you can have for a nominal fee. If I remember I have:

1) Powerbulbs headlight bulbs plus blue indicator bulbs (if your hands are thin enough to change them

) they increases visibility
2) New paint pen for stone chips for cup from Renault
3) A manifold gasket it cost me
