A bloke I know ran his ph2 on a rolling road recently too, with just a s/s exhaust and it made 190 odd bhp at the flywheel. Odd that these cars are putting out that power with such small odds. What's it all about?
I completely agree, renaultsport have really dropped the ball on this one. The fiesta st is just a much better car. Although I wouldn't buy a new car, I think the fiesta is probably the best hot hatch on sale ATM. Fair play to the people that have bought them. I'd imagine they put out about...
Grow up, you said I didn't use paragraphs and a couple of apostrophe's, something which doesn't inhibit your ability to read my dialogue at all really. I didn't bother as its only a car forum as everyone has been trying to tell you...
Grow up. You've basically admitted you were wrong, so now your having a gramma war? I'm writing it on a iPhone, so it's a pain.
English isn't my strong point, I only got a C, but I got an A in maths, statistics, and 2 A's in science. So I've gone on to study engineering and make the most of my...
University is good thanks.
I think you need to pull your head out of your own arse hole and realise the clio's being posted now, such as the white one and rb are not of the same caliber as op's car.
The wheels on them are probably worth more than the entire car in question.
He is not going to...
cup_Phil, how am I writing like a spastic? Think you need to grow up and learn how to take someone opinion. Getting lairy doesn't prove anything, so sit down as it wasn't even aimed at you. I never said modifying cars was pointless, my car is modified, I run coilovers myself but not stupidly...
Like I said, then why not just leave it as it is? IMO it looks fine as is, so why bother changing it. Yes the white one does look quite nice I will concede, but I've seen better looking cars. I do appreciate stanced cars, but something on something like a golf, a bora, a Audi a4, a Cadillac...
Thats fair enough, but when you post asking for opinions, you have to expect people to give them. Mine is that it will look horrific and you shouldn't waste your time or money.
I didnt mean that mummy or daddy paid. I simply meant in order to pull of good stance you need very deep pockets, and a good starting point. I have a friend who has a EK9 civic type r that he's stanced and it owes him over 25k over the 2 years hes owned it. It does look good, but its cost a...
Oh and the touring car with camber is an irrelivant photo to the arguement as its designed for driving on a dead smooth race track, not a uk public road
I dont understand people who stance cars like this. IMO yes it can look good, but I've not seen a clio look good with it, and doing on a budget always looks awful. The whole point in stance is expensive wheels, heavily detailed with expensive waxes and sealents, polished lips on wheels which are...
I like that its been lowered 40% and has had a 'Gears & steering enhance' I wonder what that consists of. Is it me or is this a cup with no xenons as normal, yet headlight washers?
Spent yesterday cleaning the cars as they were both in desperate need, and had a go with some Bouncer 22 hard wax on the clio, quite pleased with the results. Here are some of the photos, I think my iPhone has reduced the quality of some though.
Reflection shot
One of the Mini
Then drove...
I think it's the fact that they don't have anything better than a normal 172, the interior isn't as nice colour, but full leather. Outside isn't much of a colour, and the wheels are horrible. I don't think it'll become a classic, as with 205 gti limited editions, they aren't worth a premium as...
No, no matter what your criteria are, you will always find something better in the used market. Unless you want that new car sense that no one else has used it before. I personally think the fiesta is a fantastic car, and the best new hot hatch about, and the tuning potential with warrantee from...
I hardly think you can call a car a shed based on age alone. Some 8 year old examples are immaculate and far from it. Peoples issue with the pricing of new cars is the fact that dynamics of what make a car work don't change year to year, so an 8 year old car that's been well looked after will in...

Stef off here's, it is immaculate inside and out, trophy dampers are a plus too
I saw this also. Found it extremely hard to believe it would make 210bhp with a standard inlet manifold. Surely if you bought it, dyno'd it and it made hugely less than claimed, you could take it back and say he's full of sh*t and get your money back? It's falsely advertised isn't it
Do you not think its less special than before though? Just another hatch, the clio's selling point was always that it had the 2 litre N/A engine with a nice manual gearbox, now it's just a 1.6 turbo like all the others, mini, fiesta and 208, it's lost it's individuality, also the gearbox, I've...
I think he is getting PH2 172's and 182's confused as he says they changed the front end and generally facelifted it, which is true of the PH2 172, it just didnt get the 10 bhp and name change until 2004. To be fair people cant be expert on every model of car going, I couldnt tell you the...
