Right all, the New Year is now here. I'm fat, im sure the rest of you have put on weight over xmas as well ... We need to get 5-a-side booked in again. I propose Tuesday 12th January 9-10 pm at Staines Leisure Centre as previously. Let me know asap so i can get it booked :D

Do it, project 106/saxo's are the way forwards, far cheaper to play with than clios ;)

172 cup for me; i love its back to basics approach. A proper old skool hot hatch. Big engine, small car, no safety net.

Less than 500 quid iirc ... for a 800kg 106 with 150bhp ...

FLOL, reminds me of when i went to Germany last. Sarah: Whats all that rattling in the background Me: Im driving through the carousel dear, you remember im at the 'ring all week ...

Running 106 xsi 16v ftw .. now buy sum rallye steelies ;)

^^^^ :) Edit: FLOL great minds ...

I think people are missing what Warren and i are trying to convey. For us, its not about speed, its about driver involvement & the challenge of wrestling a car around the corners. Whilst we are both merely offering a different perspective to that which the OP is used to, this is clearly a...

I love FWD, & can probably peddle far quicker in it, but RWD offers a far greater challenge for me. As such i find it considerably more rewarding when looking for that ultimate drive. The OP needs to experience a good rwd car, like a £8k Elise or M3, then consider whether a Clio 182, even one...

No i haven't, but id hazard a guess and say that its still a very accomplished & predictable FWD car, just with extra wheelspin & power? Or does the £4k include a conversion to RWD?

It will & the cynic in me awaits the 'for sale' thread. Sorry, but I'm old, been there, done that, watched others do it & got the t-shirt. Trust me. Just buy something faster. A 250bhp clio is still a clio, its still only a challenge up to point & you will get bored of it. Fact.

+1 Except, id say make sure you're getting 100% of your current setup 1st. So get tuition.

Whats actually the problem with it at the moment? Just bored or looking for more of a challenge. A clio with 250bhp will only be challenging in that it will unset the lovely chassis. It'll still be FWD and easily manageable/boring after a while. Personally, id sell yours & buy an e36 M3 Evo...

Thats awesome!! As an aside, i cant actually remember the last time i saw a MK4 escort estate ... except now of course

As asked before, WHAT IS THE LOW PRICE?

Do not trade it in lol ...

It upsets me that you have a turbo'd 172, an engineering feat in itself, but dont know what oil to put in it lol ... I suggest speaking to either Opie Oils, or the person that built your engine.

Buy a cup, then do the following: Fit Ferodo DS2500's, Brembo HC's, braided lines, dot 4, espace v6 airbox with ITG filter & purchase a ktec stealth when the original exhaust falls off. You dont need to do anything else whatsoever imho. You will simply make it worse for everyday driving and...

You clearly bought a nail, i've had 2 clio's: 182 - 19k in 4 months, not a single problem 172 Cup - 26k in 12 months, 11 laps of the ring, not a single problem Would happily have another one.

You're obviously not a fan of steering feel or driver enjoyment then ... Clios are great, just make sure the cambelt, etc has been done - its a good £350-£400 to do on a normal 172, ie one with aircon.

Just been reading your project thread on ZSOC actually, looks ace!!

Haha, he should flog them on the 106/saxo forums for £220 like i've been doing ;)

:rasp: Well, last night there were 2 sets from Newcastle on there: £140 complete £105 with 1 damper missing Was just going to 'buy it now' on the 1st set & some bugger on Sax-P beat me to them ... Then another set appeared a moment ago in Suffolk, so i snaffled them!! God knows where all...

eBay FTW :D Just bought some brand new, in box, Spax PSX adjustables for £125 posted.

:eek: thats just daft!! Land Rover = proper 4x4. Wouldnt see an X5 doing that ....

Shed ;) Suspension wise, ill put my Bilstein geek hat on now if you like ... Iirc, the rear B6/B8 shock is actually the same, ie B36-2075, it is only the fronts that differ in length, so: B6 (front) is 30% uprated over standard, part no. P30-3060 B8 (front) is 30% uprated & shortened to...

You & me both lol, I'm gonna look like a right nob getting out of a caged saxo wearing a pinstripe suit ....
