Yep pretty much. Some insurance companies like to be informed too of tyre size change if it differs to the standard size.

Look forward to the finished picture. Should look awesome!

I think you can but then you probably wont get the same life span out of the tyre. A cheaper tyre could be just as grippy as an expensive tyre but it will wear down far quicker for example i would prefer Federal RSR's over Conti SP3's but the wear rating on a Federal is like 140 where as the...

That looks like an epic meet.

Thats a great price! Thanks. I will be getting them in 16 though, £64 a tyre.

T1rs have been replaced with T1sports now. Couple of T1rs remain in very popular sizes still for now. Value for money i dont think there is much better than a hankook v12. I usually run v12s or Pirelli P zeros. I found v12s a tad soft on my last car but i can imagine they are well suited to...

Looks good dude. Will have to get both arctics together.

Managed to bump start it, its at the garage now being checked over. Hopefully just battery.

Garage is 2 hours away, im going to ring them at 9. Car wont be going anywhere near them unless they are going to recover it which I doubt. But where I work has a garage so they can fix it, if the garage I bought it from will foot the bill.

Hi Everyone, Just after a bit of help please, only just bought the car and now its parked up at home dead. Under warranty though at least. Driving home last night car started going a bit nuts, ABS + Traction light started flashing, stop light and battery light flickering and occasionally the...

Very nice! Car looks great. How loud is the exhaust with the cat in?

Yeah was good fun! Tonys has a decat, powerflow system and remap + launch control and he was managing 15.2s so I was pleased with my times. Ha the Punto was a nice car, shame it was such a money pit the last couple of month! But the clio buts a big smile on my face :D Yeah I do need a cup...

Cheers :) car is standard and best time I managed to get before they messed my times up was a 15.5. Then the rest were all similar until my times must of got mixed up with someone else as apparently I started doing 14.1s lol.

Did you go? I was there on the Sunday. Think they messed my times up though.

Haha! Was certainly an interesting test drive.

Im just getting rid of my 1.9 grande punto. They might make 196bhp but it will have no more torque than one with 170bhp. Most torque they seem to make is 330ft lbs. Mine is running 177hp and 330ft-lbs. Shredded a gearbox in under 42k and the turbo seized at 45k. They can survive being remapped...

Hi everyone, been a member a while but been waiting to turn 21 so insurance was what I would call reasonable. Currently driving a 2008 Fiat Grande Punto 1.9 diesel running 177bhp and 330 ftlbs. But as of Friday I will be driving a Clio 182 :D Cant wait to pick it up now! Got some plans for it...

Picking up my 182 this Friday :) Waited until im 21 for reasonable insurance.

Managed to knock £250 off the price and get 12 months tax now too!

I can barely insure a 182, let alone a turbo'd one lol.

Might try haggle him down a bit, what would you say its worth roughly considering it is a dealer not private? Parkers says like £3800 and whatcar says £4200.

Haha sorry. Well I would but I cant be bothered to sell mine privately. I have had too much hassle with in the last 2 month so I just want rid of it. I'm getting a cheque my way too as my car is worth a bit more.

Hi everyone, Been after a clio 172/182 for a long time but insurance has never allowed until I turned 21 finally. So now the hunt has began officially. Went to view an Artic blue one yesterday. Price was £3995. 2005 with 61k on the clock. Full service history and belts done at 53k. Has...

Hmm i might look into this. On the 200 or a Twingo. Lookster seem to have decent deals.

Can you only do 6k of free miles?

I would be interested in this sort of offer, is it limited mileage?

To unreliable for doing 30-50 mile a day.

Well anything N/A and revvy i like ha. Im 19.

Yeah waiting until Feb. If i drive it now, insurance is 2k if i wait until Feb it drops to £1200. Not many plans, keep it clean and look after it. Maybe few suble carbon mods. Its just to tie me over until i can insure a dc5.

Reading another topic, monaco blue and inferno red? 172's seem pretty rare.
