Hi Dean, Welcome, tried getting insured on a 172 myself at 19 but couldnt so spunked a load of money on a Mini Cooper instead. Hopefully well be in the same boat when were both 21.. :) -Rob

Yeah right, gold medallion car.. NSX!!!!!!! -Rob

Budget?

Ive never experienced a CTR with a pleasant ride? In fact in town its a bit jarring. When i had my coilovers the ride was bearable on my 90 mile M25 journey. Cant see a 182 being any worse.. -Rob

Alternatively my plate actually means something...you just need some nitrous!

N20 CUP from me!!!!!

You wont gain anything because the car is set up to at its best to run on 95RON. Shell Optimax would help keep your engine clean, which is why i use it on my 1.2 16v. -Rob

Make sure theyre the dust sealed caliper. I would go direct too, maybe you could specify a blank disc which would be better than theyre drilled items. Wouldnt get greenstuff pads either... Alternatively try the AP Racing and Brembo websites. No point getting the Megane set up, wouldnt be...

Well i would expect the 1.4 to be a bit more spritely, must have more torque surely? Lower down too.. On the road though i cant see there being a difference. -Rob

What? Your mate is blagging out of his arse, the Volvo must be group 16 at least..blatantly using mummy there.. My quotes are the same fella, bit less, circa £1250. -Rob [Edited by RobFenn on 14 September 2004 at 4:28pm]

His lines were terrible, good thing he had a big dose of power! -Rob

I think the 172 mk2s are perfectly formed, i like the 182s but i think the add ons may look a bit passe in a few years. -Rob

Think its the average age on here, trackdays arent that popular on Cliosport so people use the street to show off their over confidence, its only once you get on track your flaws are shown.. I think if everyone did do a trackday time to time they would realise road driving is so limiting, boring...

Sweet!

I dont think theyd break into the Noble..Frosty has mentioned they seemed to be after I.C.E. Sorry to hear whats happened, my Clio had its window smashed and nothing taken (even though my wallet was in the car), it just seemed like a random for the hell of it thing.. pricks! -Rob

I saw one on display at Le Mans, looked really good. -Rob

My mate got about £2k, he also heard he could of got more.. Being a typical uni student he spent it all in a few months! For whats it worth i think its a bit unfair for the other party to squeeze every last penny, bearing in mind their insurance will go up quite a bit with a claim like that...

Ill echo what people have been saying, with the money spent, the Punto is bound to be quicker. You have more grip, and a better power to weight ratio...plus all the variables you have with driving. With the exception of xzibit (who cant appreciate what good dynamics are) the Punto drivers have...

The Clio generates a good amount of grip, so the body will roll. People with slicks would get this even more.. Cars like the the 182 beg you to chuck it about, which is great fun but when you get in a more delicate car youd probably bin it. Smooth driving is the key. -Rob

Didnt a car magazine rate the package though?

The Golf has a Haldex 4WD engine and has a big heavy engine over the front. The Clio is mid engined, RWD, better weight distrubution and looks stunning. Id never buy the V6 with my own money but id prefer it much more than the Golf, epecially with the MK5 being out. -Rob

Welcome, glad to see youre having fun.. -Rob

Ive heard Elephant provide piss poor cover if youre into your mods. -Rob

The problem Chris is people need to look in their mirrors for that, flashing them up tends to get their attention.. I experience middle and fast lane hoggers all the time, a breed which annoy me is the ones who feel like because theyre doing the speed limit that they shouldnt let anyone pass...

Was at Brands again today, and again was Y1** LAD. I was wondering what suspension mods they do there? I heard lots of screeching of understeer, but he was going faster than his mate in a non-LADed Cup..though i was suprised as the LAD one kept cocking a wheel where he took too tight a line...
