yeh, but youre looking for em right? Im not sure Id even notice a Z (or even look twice) my heads on swivel sticks for a V though!

FIESTA - probably, but do you see new shape ones parked next to the big jumps at Horsey events? (I live opposite a Racecourse, so seen the Clios) not being snobby, but the Clios is unique in its ability to appeal to a poverty stricken student (most of us have been there!) AND an old granny...

BUMPITY BUMP

cant help with exact drops, but to help you decide, I measured a standard Cup before having my car lowered. the cup was 25 mm lower than my pre-mod standard Dynamique, and looked a bit high, so I went for 40mm...

TAKE it back and make a loud fuss!! POLITELY INSIST on a courtesy car until its fixed! Ive just written to my dealer about crap service and addressed it private and confidential to the Dealer Principal - things are happening now!! failnig that, go to Reno HQ customer complaints

they will fit - look on - Home Page - Gallery - other Clios at least a few pages in. theres a smart colur coded Blue One on there. most ppl stick to 17s thou - compromises comfort and higher gearing on 18s CHECK change in diameter on home page - styling - wheels - I think its called miata...

£1000s standard aircon could be salvageable from a Breaker on any other Mark 3 Clio, still cost a £100s if you know a good specialist mechanic SERIOUSLY - FORGET IT looking at air con under bonnet on mine (not 172) also limits some under bonnet mods cos of same - I cant get an IK Ive just...

Took my non-182 thro ONCE couldnt find a JetWash - CarWash scratched the plastic wings to fu**! NEVER AGAIN try a weekly Jetwash and quick leather to keep the crap off for now

NO - Top Gear April 2000. It quoted 6.9 for 0-60, but in gear was slow! group test - 50-70 in 5th (secs) Ford Racing Puma 9.5 Integra Type R 8.6 (quick motor) Clio 172 Mark 1 9.9 [Edited by black kro on 11 May 2004 at 12:58pm]

P.S: a Zetec 1.6s tailed me the other day AND he didnt have a hope in hell of passing!!

Mk 1 172 with specialist insurer and put your Mum on as named driver - it WILL be less! OR?? a dCi 80? stonking mid range (145lb/ft compared to about 80lb/ft in 1.2) hence overtaking is swift! 50-70 in 5th? about 15 secs in 1.2 8V, 9.6 in a Dci 80, 9.9 in Mark 1 172 (Top Gear mag 2000)...

check for sale for: CUSTOM MADE INDUCTION KIT built as a one-off for dCi Clio (without air-con) ** please bump AD if dont you want it! ** [Edited by black kro on 11 May 2004 at 10:09am] [Edited by black kro on 11 May 2004 at 10:11am]

The Mark 2 V6 is Superb - Clarkson might be a wally, but if someone who drives as many cars as him puts it in his "Top 10 Garage", it cant be bad! BUY ONE!! if you cant live without the space, a Scooby is cheaper to run than an Evo (5K Evo servicing and 200 miles on a tank is v. expensive...

I think itll work, but Focus ST170 has been slated for the same, despite being an excellent alrounder! but there gonna get a low insurance group and keep price down to tempt young drivers who dont wanna spend a grand or more insuring a 172 or similar!

looks good - I bet the build quality is higher than Clio! according to Ford, they reckon the handling will allow it to live with 182 and Pug 180! the RS looks the dogs thou in AutoCar mag 200BHP for £16K @ end of 05

love it but its been back to Reno for a new ECU and a steering creak! I wrote a letter of complaint about fluctuations in service: "Ready now Sir" when 2 hours early to "youre car aint goin anywhere Mister!" when not ready! looking forward to a FREE service cos I wrote to Dealer...

BRAZO I think you missed the point - Id love a Porsche! its the classless popular appeal that is appealing (excuse the pun) Id hazard a guess that most of us also find the thought of a Roller or Maybach vulgar! Id also rather eat spaghetti bolognese rather than Caviar!!

STRIPES ARE COOL saw first one on the road yesterday - mutz nutz, badgers nadgers, the DOGS!!

should be fine!! so many ppl have speeders, that insurers dont worry too much - someone else on here has 2 and it doesnt affect their insurance! INSTANT ban normally over 100 (although some still get a way with it - youre not a Football Player or member of the Royal family are you?)...

DITTO youll regret it if you sell it! save hard for another to muck about with and keep this as a cherished weekend plaything!

at the weekend my 9 year old nephew said my car was cool and HIS 66 year old Gran would love a Clio too!! Id argue that there is not another car on this planet built today that appeals to both sexes and ALL ages in the same way! IMHO the ORIGINAL Mini, early Landrover (pre power steering and...

TOWCESTER (pron. Toaster) wtf is that ?? near Silverstone!

hands up - you beat me! 15 in the Diesel 50-80 was quick (13), but last bit just goes beyond peak power and slows 80+

Ill try it tonite - a fiver says a Diesel will beat ya! ;)

just been on the blower to Reno about my next planned mods: on top of my annual premium they ONLY wanted: Existing 17s (value £800) expensive @ £65.00 Lowered springs ONLY £9.45 Induction Kit (quoted for +3 BHP) £35.00 Superchips (or similar ECU for +15 BHP) ONLY £46.20 ****...

red or juice green (or whatever technical name is!) mind you, Black Dynamiques are VERY VERY RARE ;)

17s! 17s are a compromise in terms of comfort - 18s will be worse and the tram-lining will be bad I bet. save your dosh - over £500 even if you sell your 17s?
