I changed to Yoko A539s when I had my 172 and the dry grip was excellent, however, in the wet, they werent so good and not as progressive as the original contis though.

I think theyre just flashing you to say hello because yourre driving a 172!!!;) So just give them a flash back to say hi.

My Clio172 was absolutely fantastic to drive and easily the best fun on 4 wheels Ive had. Not the fastest, but fast enough and with the Eibachs brilliant in the twisties. Equipment levels are excellent and has everything you need as standard. I had no problems with reliability and only had...

You lucky git!! Had to sell mine and really miss the acceleration, the chuckability, the handling, the equipment levels, the looks. Driving a Micra 1.0 Shape at the moment:(. Im currently looking out for a baby(s) carrier. Maybe when theyve grown up, I could go back and try and find a well...

Then shell get her pipes checked out by the guys Renault garage, then theyll get their dip sticks out to check that all her bits are well lubricated down there and may even giver her exterior a good going over to make sure shes all nicely buffed...Shell have been around the blocks a few times...

Gonna go for a BMW 3 series Touring. Know any good ones for £10K?

Well I sold mine......through autotrader. Got loads of calls from people wanting to sell my car for me, saying "we have people looking to buy a car like yours right now, pay us a fee and we will put your car on the database. We will get these people to view your car. blah blah blah." what a...

I bought my 172 from motorpoint in derby in 2001 (Dutch import) and have had no problems with the car whatsoever. Had the center section of the exhaust replaced under warrenty at a Renault dealer and also serviced by Renault. Also wrote to Renault UK for them to confirm in writing that I have...

I am 32 and three quarters.

Solution: Peel the Cup stickers off the doors, sell the Cup, get a slightly older 172 for the same money, fit eibach springs to give it the handling, remove the spare wheel, stick the Cup stickers back on, viola! a fully loaded "Cup" with C/C, xenons, CD Changer, leather seats.:)

Buy a standard 172 and then strip it;)

The MG hatchbacks are no match for the 172. In most magazine tests, if not all, where the MGs are pitted against the 172s, the 172s always give the MGs a beating, in performance, handling and equipment etc. Besides they look like a maxpowered Daewoo Nexia

Diapac, I am currently selling my MKII Clio 172 as my wife is expecting twins. I have posted this in the For Sale section...

Yeah the Clios pretty tough, but the Toyota Hilux 4x4 pickup is virtually indestructable and demonstrated on Topgear last Sunday.

I think the A/C doesnt work when its very cold. Since A/C makes cold air, it wont activate since its already bringing cold air from outside even though the A/C light is lit.

I used to get around 29-30mpg out of my Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo. Thats is pretty good considering its 1, a turbo, 2, its 220bhp 227lbft - 0 to 60 in 6 secs, 3,its 5 cylinder engine. Ive had 350 miles from the 60ltr tank. The vtec engine in the honda s2000 won an award for best 4 cylinder 2ltr...

The old Integra Type R, great handling, bullet proof engine Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo, fast as fook and looks damn good (IMO) Toyota Glanza Turbo, fast as a standard 172 and very tunable Nissan 200sx, RWD oversteer fun and very tunable They can be had at around £6-7K mark.

Viv if she evers considers a MII, I know one thats going with no faults whatsoever.;) http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=3&TopicID=55555&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=3&TopicID=55555&PagePosition=1

You can with a long phillips screw driver. There are white plastic turrets at the back of the lights that adjusts the height of the beam on the back of the light unit. Obviously find a dark flat road or carpark. Don;t adjust too high as it will cause glare for oncoming traffic.

Be easier to get 172 and drop the 1.2 engine in:p

the air-con compressor is disabled on cold days

Hey at least youll have a great time making it!! Down the 5 litres and see if you can make the shield before the alcohol takes effect...

Ive already put my filter in a 4ltr size icecream tub. Plastic is a better insulator you know, and the lid comes off easily for a quick clean or change. Hey, Ive been thinking about using bake bean tins as a tail pipe trim. I was thinking of either using 2 normal sized tines or just one king...

I had the 4k rattle. Renault replaced the centre section. 2 weeks later, 4k rattle. I thought sod it, save up for a new exhaust. did a further 6000 miles while saving for the exhaust and the rattle has gone. I have done a further 10000 miles and still no rattle. Just as well cos the I never...

"You see, driving a car is like making love to a beautiful woman. You have gently caress the wheel, stroke the gear stick gently apply pressure to the throttle, and only with the masterful stroking of the controls will you be able to conquer the sleek curves and bends of the road......"...

I had similar problems with the insurance company. Basically look through autotrader to find comparible cars on price and condition. Dont accept the insurance companys first offer. Use the proof from autotrade illustrating how much these car go for. They will eventually give in. I was in...

The back end does get a bit skittish on 172s when braking hard, however, Ive found that since the eibachs things are a lot better. I feel it was a mistake on Renaults part for not including ABS as standard on Cups. Many people have reported locked brakes and skidding and more than a few have...

Nissan 200sx for some RWD oversteer action!! Very tunable, reliable, good handler, cheap to insure and quite swift.

So its official, MK2 are better looking!!!!;)

You should have ducked......
