I suppose its down to personal taste!

Re: ph................................................ ................. A wee cheeky bit of yellow calliper there

I know what you mean, its easy to see how badly Turbocharged cars fuel goes, and to be perfectly honest im only 21 im quite happy with what i have, how fast is too fast? lol 12 points isnt enough to accomodate 300bhp lol

Rob that sounds about spot on, the regulator has actualy just failed on the drivers side so i can strike that off the list lol

Well the thing about it is, when your buying a 300bhp+ car your not worrying about putting petrol in it regardless what the petrol prices are doing, He must have know being a mechanic of all people what the consumption would have been like. If fuel consumption is a concern over owning a car...

Front wings and sideskirts aswell, the RS;s sit wider at the front that the 75bhp models do. That and the fact they have big dirty brakedrums at the rear!

That aint a RS

Hey guys so these 2 lights keep coming on, i have my suspicions that there coming on because the multi-changer is under the seat and might be obstructing the wires. Im going to take it out and put it in the boot i think that should cure it, anyone clairfy?!? Regards!

Mate buy the Type R! Or better, buy an EK 9! I owned a saxo VTS before i got my ph1 172, and while i can say i love the Clio, build quality is just not up there with the likes of a Honda!

To be honest mate as long as Mitsi are still producing Evo's, megaines wont even come into the same sentance. For every 220-230-240bhp whatever megane they make, Mitsubishi will make somthing bigger, better ,stronger, faster!

Well as an all rounder id say the CTR is a better car, build quality for a start they dont rattle or squeak and will more than likley run off the clock and back again before itll break. Performance is antother whilst the pre-facelift versions (before 2004) the CTR strikes 60 in 6.6 whilst...

Yeah apparently it is very common, im not that bothered its just the slight scratches on the glass thats more of a concern!

Next year its a Honda Civic Type R EK 9, in champ white. The Ph1 will only have 50k on her so she should sell pretty swiftly having being serviced 6 times already....

Hey guys, i have had a few niggly problems with the 172 since i bought it, i would probaly put it down to neglect from the previous owner. Anyway so far things ive had to get fixed are> 1. Bearings in the Rear (not quite sure what ones) 2. Front nearside bearing 3. Electric Window...

I dont suppose anyone seen the car security measures they use in sao polue in South Brazil>? If the attempting Crook tries the door handle, the handle clamps down on the robbing b******s hand, thus keeping him there until you and several mates then lay into him with sticks and other assorted...

I used a window suction clamp. im getting the part today but its just such a pain in the arse!

well i left work yesterday put the window down as it was warm got home, went to put it back up and the b*****d never went back up did it! So a wee phone to renault and its £167.07 for the whole part behind the door! So pissed off its unbelievable!!!!

Or if you cana fford to have it sprayed you could key the other side thus making it 'even'......

Surface damage? Down to the metal?

I wouldnt say quite the same, for instance it takes 3 hours to change spark plugs on scoobs. Thanks but no thanks.

Hey guys im in Glasgow and ive been looking to get my Ph1 172 alloys coated there looking a bit grubby after years of torment from a lady owner... Ne way i have been quoted £200 to powdercoat the 4 in anthracite gray this was from Powder-Tec in Glasgow does anyone know of anywhere i can get...

well if you wanna show more calliper then the leggeras are for you, but in saying that all callipers look great when there being driven

lol is that why your taking him to the gym>? Do you whip him whilst he runs on the treadmill? haha:rasp:

What has that five door got under the bonnet?

Dogs drive clios? lol Nah seriously though, whatever you go for id get a graphite finish itll go great against the silver of the car. Are your callipers painted??

a dunno what he was trying but twice did he attempt to undertake me, such a poor display of driving ability, not only that but when i had my Clio 1.2 i dont honestly think i would have as been even stupid then to attempt what that wee mug was doing. If the lights went red i was for getting...

You will have to tell the insurance company mate, they might possibly use that as a get out in the evnt of a crash if they find out the fly b******s

Thats a total s**t wagon

Nah i cant see it mate,some of these cars have drilled, 380mm discs with 6 pot callipers! It would stop you on a ten pence piece! Speaking from experience i really have to admit my Saxo VTS's brakes were definatley not suited to the power out put of the car!

Suspect to me mate! It would seem all the hottest hatches seem to be the bait of choice for these arse pirates. Avoid it like jade goody mate!
