Want.

Some lovely metal in there, the Lambos wheel choice is a bit dodgy though IMO. Anyone have any idea what version of Still Alive the backing track is?

Feel for you mate. Strangely enough that's identical to my mates old Fiesta ZS which also seemed to be cursed, got nearly written off when it was 2 weeks old, then a deer destroyed the front end a few months later, then about a year after that it was in a pile up and finally got written off.

Swap it. Quick, before the guy changes his mind.

Another one for the advantage and disadvantage pile is the car will smell of fuel when idling, so it depends whether you like the smell or not. My decatted 172 stunk of V-Power when I was sitting at traffic lights, I loved it.:evil:

Is flushness not enough to deserve Hellaflush stickers then? Genuine question btw, I have zero idea about the whole hellaflush "scene", just know it looks fecking cool and I've got an itch to try it out on something slow.

2 threads will not get you it any faster. They're different for every radio. Just go to Renault.

If it sounds anything like it does in that vid you posted yours does NOT sound good.

Re: The original & the worst since 2004, well every other sods cleaned this weekend.. Stunning! Black surround PH2 headlights maybe? Would add to the stealth look.

It will break even if you drive like you're 70 so you may aswell get some enjoyment giving it abuse.

Everything I want to do to mine, you seem to do first LOL How hard was the headunit to fit BTW? I've read there's a bit of faffing around with taking wires from the cigarette lighter or something along those lines?

I don't trust the trip computers in Clios all that much, my 172 said it was getting 32mpg average, the 200 reckons it's getting about 24mpg average, yet there's barely any difference in fuel costs. Surely I'd notice a big difference with 8mpg?

Nope. 60mm springs are no problem either, don't listen to the gays who tell you not to.

Nice, induction set up of some sort needed to make the most of that Vtec noise.

Yup, the usual story, the Germans generally do quality better than the rest of the world. You'll still get orange peel whatever you buy but it won't mark as easily. BMW do a scratch resistant lacquer (as an option AFAIK) that is an absolute cnut to work on. You need special sanding discs to...

Wouldn't say so, pretty sure All Mk1s are H4 fitment i.e same bulb for main beam and dipped beam. 200s have seperate bulbs, H7.

Not noticed it being any poorer than the paint on my other Clios, which were equally as sh*t as far as finished is concerned. Good when you're a painter though, the fact it's so soft makes it a piece of piss to prep.

There's actually not much difference in fuel costs running a 1.2 Clio to a 172, but everything else is a lot more expensive, so if it breaks you're fooked. Which it will because it's French. So yeah, wait until you have more cash.

^That, much easier to manage getting it a bit wrong in a 1.2 Clio, do it in a 172 and it will just put you in a hedge. Never forget the first time I took my 172 through second gear on full chat for the first time after 2 years in a 1.2, scared the crap out of me lol

Nice spec. The five spokes will grow on you, I was after a set of Speedlines when I bought mine but after a few months of ownership and seeing how many on here are spec'd with Speedlines, I'm quite happy with the standard wheels.

Warranty will be void. All they'll say is your shocks are knackered because the lowering springs put more stress on them. Take them off then take it to Renault.

I'm afraid I can't see it at all lol

No way in hell any remap will ever have a 182 running 195bhp. Ever. Any company that suggests they can is probably retarded and best avoided.

^ I agree he would be better off trading in, I got £3k trade in for an 03 plate 172 on 60k needing a full front end respray.

At 20? Where the fook do you live lol

I have a mint 182 set for sale if you're interested ;)

EP3 CTRs are probably about the best matched car on the road to an RS, identical straight line speed until silly lose-your-licence material speeds, all down to the driver in the twisteeeeezzzzz.

Back when I had mine it passed 2 MOTs at 2 different stations no probs. The first of which is fairly strict with MOTs.

You know this won't end well, yet you still started the thread, good work!
