The other thing i would say about the Focus ST is that theres the Mountune kit available for it which doesnt void your warranty as its endorsed by Ford
You know me mate, putting the word about of the man-love thats shared amongst the select few...x
By the by mate, your post got deleted yesterday, you know the one about the "aftershaves".
CP party, lol lol lol
I lol'ed all the way back from b/gate at that!
imo, buy a faster car
Screwing with the engine is going to mean brake up-grades and the posibility of impairing the already, how you say, intresting reliabilty status of the Clio's
As any spanner connoissuer will tell thee, theres no replacement for displacement
Its not a Renault Sport mate its a Dymanique..:o
Anyway mate, as said it might be your Battery. Ive just installed 8000k's and am delighted with the result.
Where you based matey? You will need to get yourself along to the meets buddy :cool:
Id have either tbh, not really compatible as they both have pros & cons
I reckon that as the ST is a 5 cylinder turbocharged unit then this is going to give you less economy when giving it full chat where as the 197 will be more frugal being normally asspirated 4 cylinder.
It will be...
It wont be cheap insurance when your running 220bhp with the mods declared.
Best bet would be a C2 GT, there quicker than a Saxo VTR and an insurance group lower (6).
110 bhp and 0-60 in 8.7 there no slouch, 40mpg was the norm when i had mine
lol, you serious?
You dont honestly think for a minute that there happened to be a 182 on the look out for a service history because the same thing happened to him or he just lost his?
Some clown has stolen it because theres been either nothing else to steal or they have done it out of sheer...
After all the recent talk of Saxo VTS's i had a wee look and un-earthed this wee gem >>>

If he ever does sell that on which considering the price is Phase 2 money, that would be a nightmare to sell on >
"nothing worse than being bland!!!" ....he says
Re-spray shouts crash damage never mind spraying it a whole new colour! Thats worth £7500 to someone who wants a track car
Avoid...
I think thats a bit highly priced for the current market to be honest mate, the miles are a little on the high side. If you look about you would be able to get a sub 45k car for less money i would think >

Obviously all the 172's to date are due a...
Its not everyone's idea of fun but honestly mate, as much fun can be had in a Saxo VTS as a 172 and that im certain of!
Alot of people slate them, call them this and that, but...
Unless you have driven one then its hard to convince someone that doesnt like them otherwise.
As the lad said...
Aye know what you mean, theres too many bells and whistles for some on the Corsa, very nice car all the same but id be hard pushed to pick between a 197 and a VXR imo :o
Same old story, you get what you pay for.
For £3,000 id be looking elsewhere tbh, a Saxo VTS would be first port of call if you really dont want a Phase 1 172. I dont see what the big problem is about the phase 1.
Its got a dated interior....
Well i dont know about anyone else that...
