I think you should go for a 172 - It'll cost you no more than 2k to upgrade and get a great one. What's two grand these days?? Solicitors/Surveyors fees.
It's a different kettle of fish - Sure my 182 felt quicker, but it's lighter, got 18,500 miles on the clock and has an after market exhaust and decat fitted.
In terms of handling definitely on a par with the 182, probably better but to be honest I wasn't going to push a car that had 12 miles on...
the Recaros are an 850 quid option and they're bloody worth it. I drove the F1 today and i have to say it's 10x better in terms of handling than the standard 197. The dealer offered me 8k for my 182Cup and wanted 16700 for the F1 in metallic. I want it for 16k, in metallic, with cornering...
Yeh i've been like that. Fancy a change, but then don't, then do. Then realise how much I'd lose in depreciation if i changed cars - but hey i got a test drive in a R27 197 tomorrow...
Had mine since christmas and has been used for around 150 hours max. I was always a little dubious about the drive, since I've had it. It's or was as noisy as F***.
I posted on here a couple of days ago saying how my 360's DVD drive stopped reading any discs. Anyway UPS picked it up today to go for repair - the courier looked at the address (being Havant and like 6 or 7 miles from Portsmouth) and said "lemme guess... an Xbox 360?"
I said "yes" He then...
All boxed up and ready to go.. I wouldn't mind, but I've positively changed in terms of temprement when playing games. A few years i'd throw the controller, bash the console - in fact I remember throwing my sega game gear out of my bedroom window and I used to bite my sinclair spectrum (rubber...
Bleedin' died last night!! Well the DVD drive did, all I get now is a message saying "Unplayable disc" All I did was go to the dashboard after playing some gears of war so I could change discs for testdrive unlimited. The console was making some terrible noises. The bloody thing is four...
You should to speak to Clarkie. He always (if there is enough cars) runs a separate championship for non performance renaults on his airfield days. 20 quid for the day and they're a great laugh.
Sell your 172 and buy a citroen C1. Cheap as chips, you can pick 'em up for 5500 new. Forty quid a year to tax, group 1 insurance, 50MPG, great laugh to drive, engine sounds nice - 3 cylinder chirp, but it and a big but it ain't a 172, it's an a - b car.
2x Airfield days, 1x windscreen with 1x crack around 15 cms long, 1x small central chip and 1x bullet hole lookalike chip near the 15cm crack.
At least I never replaced the windscreen when the 15cm crack appeared, last november.
Won't be doing anymore drag racing, just racing around the...
Had my Yozza decat fitted for a couple of months now. The emission light has flicked on and off briefly about twice since it's been fitted. The warning light came on more when the cat was still fitted! Probably once every couple of weeks and guess what? The Renault dealer never found any...
