Clio 200 v's 182 Cup - 5th GEAR

[leeroybrown]

I was a little suprised to be honest

http://fwd.five.tv/videos/clio-v-clio-shootout

THOUGHT the 182 cup would have it

Alien green or racing blue

Hard decision to make which is the best colour and car

[AlexR]

The brembos on the 197/200 make it, if the 182 had decent brakes it would have been very close.

And the 182 cup is cheating a bit as it still has air con etc. The lightest version of the 172 cup would probably have been quicker ;)

[craig180]

Prefer the look of the older Clios anyway. I'd always choose a car on looks if performance was similar

[leeroybrown]

Fit the brembos then lol

Rather have th air con tbh

[Graeme]

brakes are defo poo on the 182

just been out in mine (1st time in ages) and relised how poo they are

[AlexR]

Oh yeah, air con rules. I've used it on two days in the year i've had the car though but i'd be screwed without it!

Apparently the hubs are totally different so you can't fit them to a 182!

Brakes on my clio are/were very good now i've fitted uprated stuff.

[Karl]

172 cup = real mans cup.
182 cup. Hi we fitted cloth interior.


could of been down to driver, isnt exactly a fair test really. the 197 is the better equipped car by far though.

........you need to replace disks/pads/fluid.
my experiences with them is that theyre awesome if looked after.

[Aron]

would prefer the 182 over the 200. the 200 looks crap.

[leeroybrown]

I used it everyday, nice thing to have rather have it then the poverty spec cup

[leeroybrown]

........you need to replace disks/pads/fluid.

Some nice brembo discs, DS pads, braided hoses and some decent fluid will sort that

agree!

with the brakes i think they are ok. even with the crappy green stuffs in at the moment they are ok.

[Karl]

green stuff is kack.
but yeah, theyre awesome brakes with the right disc and pads.

[J222JRA]

i much prefer the 182, not to keen on the 200.

[Karl]

200s are lush inside.
I'd have one,
more keen on the 197 front end than the 200 though.

[Graeme]

if i keep it there the 1st thing im going to be sorting out

in two minds weather to sell though

[Karl]

sell for what mate?

Ferrodo ds2500's and some Brembo Maxi's will sort it out.

do they make 1144's for the clio calliper?

[leeroybrown]

G get your finger out

You have one of 85ish cars that come from the factory with recaros

Your crackers if you sell

[Aron]

green stuff is kack.
but yeah, theyre awesome brakes with the right disc and pads.

mine melted a horrible death on a crappy 15minute session at FCS.
pagid rs4-2's should sort that out

[Karl]

haha, I had an inferno orange clio owner sell me his factory fitted recaros.
how i miss them :(

[Karl]

[leeroybrown]

[Aron]

[leeroybrown]

Joining the club are we Karl, am not far of it now again

Ph1 172 is what you love :}

[Aron]

[Karl]

[leeroybrown]

Ha the day i see you in one of them, I WILL EAT my hat!

[Karl]

I declared my love for them to you a couple of weeks ago. :D

[leeroybrown]

Such a shame they are a good car!

[Karl]

I might be ugly but I dont resemble a water on the brain baby like a ph1.

[leeroybrown]

[AlexR]

Phase ones are for people who can't afford better cars...

[Karl]

Phase ones are for people who can't afford better cars...

"but theyre quick though."

- so is a nova turbo. buy one.

[Graeme]

just dont use it that much anymore thats all

looking around though theres nothing else i really want

[Karl]

I hear Fiesta STs are good? :D
Failing that, what about a VTS

[leeroybrown]

Phase ones are for people who can't afford better cars...

Shat up, Shed did't help develope an exhaust for one so it must be shit!

"but theyre quick though."

Nova's are to be used in police camera action videos

its all sorted now lee dont worry

just dont use it that much anymore thats all

Get it used then

Failing that, what about a VTS

Are you on drugs!

[VTSTomE]

Really don't like the 200 front end either, for the cash of buying 1 also could turn a 182 into a bodied monster!

Ahahahaha

[furiomike]

i really like the 200, but 130kg more?! christ... and people make fuss of the FN2 weighing kg more than the EP3. anyway i'd quite happily have any renaultsport clio, they're all good.

[Mieran]

The mk3 is the best looking clio imo.

[Karl]

the 197 shape you mean?

[Liam_]

I hear this is causing quite a stir between 200 Cup and Focus RS owners... :p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae4RqTW5UDU&feature=fvst

Pretty impressive stuff from the Clio tbh.

[MARTYN19588]

dont like the front of the 200's that much. rest is nice

[DigFonzSaxo]

I think the 197 is a much better looking clio that 200!!! The front anyways :P

[Mieran]

the 197 shape you mean?

The whole range.

[AlexR]

Hi, do i know you?

[Ryan]

Hi, do i know you?

Are you a member of that cool forum where cocks are banned? I hear its pretty mad :homme:

[AlexR]

Yeah i heard about that, i'd never want to have a conversation with anyone on there, it would bore me to death, they're too knowledgeable you see! What i enjoy is talking to complete muppets about piper exhausts and how they are much better than BTBs.

I might be wrong though!

[leeroybrown]

Only decent thing on that forum (yes there is one) and thats FMP!

[0rang3peel]

Prefer the 182. Cars are just so big now and I hate it.

[Karl]

lol. awesome thread.
