Clio 172 weight loss
To be fair, the inclusion of ABS is something we welcome, as its absence on the 172 Cup was acutely noticeable, especially on the open road in the wet. I had a Griffin dual-USB cigarette lighter adapter lying around so using the a guide on hard wiring I took the Griffin apart, wired it to a connector block its not pretty but it works and nobody will see Drilled an untidy hole in the top of the glovebox and stuff the contraption through it. Because rather like the Elise, when it comes to daily life with a car, owners prefer the theory and cachet of a driver-focused machine to the reality of it. Keep posting pics, following this one with interest Marvin. Friend did the same thing except the cage - removed passenger and rear seats, spare tyre, front fogs, anything else loose, ran ducting from fog housings to cool the brakes, connected 3 point harness to random bracket in the rear, fitted sticky rubber, took 6 seconds off of a 1. Prolines are the same height as standard whereas sport line have a 30mm drop. First seat out was the passenger side plus the carpet Then the driver seat, whilst Trev supervises and all done for today Next I need to work out what I can cut out of the wiring loom. Good project, thinking of doing the same myself. Even our barely run-in test car had a natural vivacity, as palpable at low speeds as it was with the engine wrung to the redline. Keep in mind that the Lupo GTI has the battery in the boot for better weight distribution - the Clio has even less weight in the rear. He put it back to standard in under 2 hours come sale time.
Beefier suspension and less weight - yes, the Renaultsport Clio Cup makes a welcome return. 55 lap time. And are you going to put some camber on the wheels. Here she is PH sticker Saturday it all changed. Suspension-wise, are you doing the bushes as well. As with the regular 182, the Cup rewards and encourages an attacking driving style, turning-in incisively, gripping hard (while cocking a rear wheel in the air), and allowing you a bit of tail-end tomfoolery if you lift-off mid-roundabout. The big question is, though, do you notice the missing 20kg. Whether or not the difference is immediately evident, you quickly warm to the Cup. And building up speed is something the Cup is remarkably good at.
