Would it not be possible to get your 172 swapped by renault if it arrives and you have a solw un?? If you could prove (RR) that it has low BHP then isnt it false advertising. With it being a 172 and all that.
Havnt had much trouble with mine (touch wood) it suits me fine, 0-60 12ish seconds, not the best but not too bad. Group 5 insurance, so its cheap i pay £550 tpft and im 19.
It wont give you any bhp, it will just sound faster and for a price........£160 tops, Ben p (i think) has one for sale. Have a look in the for sale forum.
You could always buy my Stealth shelf with 6X9s in it. Not a home made version its a proper jobby. Fits any of the old shape clios. If your interested then PM me or reply here.

Get a 1.4RT its only group 5 insuance. My insurance was £900 tpft when i bought it as my first car when i just turned 18. There is enough power for a first car as your still getting experience, its actually quite nippy and handles well. As someone said get some nice alloys and it will look good...
Go for it buddy, it looks pretty good and will be different which is always good.
But at the end of the day its your car, so you have the final and most important opinion.
I would get your own if i was you. I did when i got my car and will have 3years no claims just after i turn 20 and nearly all of my mates are on thier parents so have none. Now im going to get a VTS and pay just over what they will be paying on their sh*tty 1.3 fiestas and alike.
At the end...
Thats what i was thinking realy ben, i may drive a little rapid some times but dont think expensive pads will help much realy tho. Just wanted some oppinions first tho. How much are standard ones? i saw some on eurocarparts for £12. bargain?
Ok then my front brake pads are knackered so which ones would you recommend getting and how much are they. Or should i stick with some cheap pads as its only an RT so doesnt have loads of power.

Would the JBL GTO 4000 be good enought to power 1 Audiobahn AW1251T sub and a set of components? if so what components would you recommend to go in the front, without rear speakers?
Cheers
