It's not the tread I'm worried about, it's the current condition, surface cracks all round. Comment noted though! Maybe some part worns for now. The front tyre's are T1-R's at the moment which seem alright, a friend of mine has Parada spec-2's on his Honda civic coupe (B16 engine) and that...

Not good at all! :/ Ah well it's bought now, wasn't an initial huge outlay which means I don't mind spending more money down the line. Also the car for some stupid reason came with a pathetic cheap eBay cone filter. Immediatly took that off and replaced it with the enclosed PiperX Induction...

I know, it looks incredibly girly at the minute too! Being a student I was on a tight budget but having an outlay afterwards isn't a problem. I would of really loved a RB or even the Black Gold (Think that's the right colour)

Yea I was kinda lucky with that. Although it was a bit of a eureka moment :) I'm always on a forum of some sort, a few people wouldn't stop me from coming back, not at all. The plan with the car WAS to keep it quite OEM+ but after talking to a few mates and having a PROPER drive in it for the...

If it's not your thing, it's not your thing. I quite like the stickers on the wheels, unsure on the window ones though

I didn't realise I'd get so many mixed responses. I also didn't realise the original post came across the way it did, and for that I apologise. I wasn't trying to be a smart arse at all, and I'm far from that! Apologies once again. Well I've had a production day today. Took the doorcard off and...

The car has RenaultSport 182 on all the wheels and on the rear windows, looks standard but I don't think it is. :drive: I plan to keep the car OEM+. I already have wheels in mind and a few subtle modifications Im not finding the brakes that great, I think the brakes on my...

Lol! I seriously hope not. I'm looking forward to my ownership of this car, it was great the whole way down, easily sat at 70mph with no issues.

This is exactly what I'm hoping, It was taken into consideration that the belt would need doing when purchasing the vehicle. In the end once the belt has been done I'll have an incredibly low mileage 182. I'm driving to france in a couple of months so I plan to get it done before then.

Bedfordshire isn't far from me, 26-30 miles. I'll give him a ring tomorrow and get a quote. The car is incredibly fun to drive, smooth too! Managed to get 50mpg in the 50mph section of the M1 and 32mpg around town. 1st gear acceleration is really nice but it seems to bog down slightly when...

I'll get some up tomorrow. It's definitely not a shed though :D I only really just got home.

Where is the best place locally to me? North London. I've heard of 519

I was thinking this, it runs smooth and isn't tappy. I'll do it eventually but in no rush.

It's been taken down from autotrader already. It just arrived at their dealership this morning.

I don't think it has, will it need doing due to the mileage?

Some of you may remember my thread a couple of days a go, well today I made a 95 mile trip up to Leicester. The car is on an 05 plate, with 28,000 miles and I paid £2595! Only problems are: Rear tires need replacing (Cracked so think they've been on since new), passenger window doesn't go...

That's an awesome post "S" thank you very much, finding this forum incredibly helpful, I'll definitely be staying once I find the right car! I think I'd be happy with one that needed the belts doing because I can get that done for a good price as I have plenty of contacts. Aslong as the car...

I think you're right, I've got to bite my tongue and just find a well looked after higher mileage 182. I'd like the car to see me through University so would ideally like it lower mileage but you're right.

Especially my local BCA auction (Enfield) not exactly the most trustworthy area. I know this is going to sound really fussy but I can't take the PH1 headlights, thats the only thing that puts me off, so it has to be a ph2 172. Thanks for the replies everyone, I just had to clear it all up.

Exactly the thing I was looking for, I just don't like the mileage (but thats me) but then again it does have a full history

My dad bought his 57 plate Mondeo at a car auction and the car runs brilliantly, full service history too but that's an ex-lease car. I don't trust BCA, or auctions in general with older cars

So a 172 would be okay for the money I have to spend?

I genuinly thought that was the average price for a 182. What do they usually go for a 04 plate, 70k odd miles? May have to settle for a 172

A friend of mine did 15 seconds dead on the same day in his EP3 with exhaust system, decat and K+N Induction kit. White Fiesta ST did 15.8 there too and another friend did 15.7 in his EM1 Civic Coupe B16

I don't know about others but there seems to be a big gap between £2000 and £2500 for a Renaultsport Clio. I had a look at a 172 this afternoon that was advertised as 2595 originally, I got down there, there was A LOT of water in the passenger footwells in the rear, moss growing on the rear...
