if you can drive and want to drive fast the VXT has afew short comings,
Spend 5k on the bugger though and you will have a 911 turbo beating car :-).
the thing unders steers at speed on track big time, but if you talk to thorny at VX220.org he will help you fix the problems.
all you need is...
the steering wheel needs to be closer i have long legs but am only 5.10"
and if you put the seat where you want the wheel is not where u want ,
All that is needed and would be cheap is an ajustable steering wheel for rake.
evo fq 300 or a 350z
there is no way the 182 is slow, as people said its slow to pick up, my 172 is faster low down, but at 5k it gets going big time,
i have a bit of road which i race cars on its not long as its between 2 round a bouts but its good to test on,
you can beat TT and CTR on...
I had a full viper carbon induction kit, the mapping was way out.
you have to get the car remapped to make them work well.
Roamer did this about 2 years ago if he is still around and ended up having to have a super chip fitted to fix the problem they cause
Impulse buy for the 182 woops,
The 172 is now for sale on the "cars for sale section"
Need to sell so i can get the new 182 tinted up
I am a bad bad boy and skint till Mr Black has been sold....
I think I met Jilly B 2/12 years ago at my one and only meet in brum, you had chrome wheels...

"Are you better than me?"
"Dont think so why you ask?"
"er mmmm duno sounds good, dont blush though"
"Thats my tints dumb ass, can we kiss and make up"
"xxxxxxx"
"xxxxxx"
"I gave you one more kiss than you gave me"
"leave it !!!!!"

yes DO NOT FIT AN INDUCTION KIT TO YOUR CLIO
i did and it was very bad,
you have to get the car remapped if you fit an induction kit.
WHich is why i will be interested to see all you guys who have just got panel filters will be ok, ITG say you will be because of the air box restriction...
o and yes there is no key lock on a 182 drivers door !!!
which might make up yor mind lol
see pic :-)
And ones worth 7.8k the other is worth 10.5k
so it is down to money the more you have the newer the car u buy...
you 182 owners are only saying that because its your new car,
there is nothing wrong with my 182 as it is quicker i just think my 172 picks up quicker from a start where the 182 does not pick up as well. may be the miles on the 172 has helped free it up and the engine is run in.
As every...
My 172 is mint on a 02 plate buy that :-)
it drives like new as its had every thing new under warranty.
never been thrashed from cold i change gear at 3k untill warm.
D
I still have both cars and have no problems with either the 172 or the 182
build there the same imo.
tyre size is the same !!!!
seats are the same !!!!
I like the gearing better on the 172, the 182 takes a while to get going,
The 182 handles better but i did go for the cup pack and...
if you have the cup pack why fit pi springs ???
Renault sport tested the cup pack and have the valving/spring combo spot on,
You will lose this by fitting aftermarket springs to the Cup.
this car handles very well and all you see is young guys dropping them 40mm and putting 17" wheels on...
I would not go for the coating it sucks,
Just zymol the car when you get it.
D
what price did you get the car for in the end ?

as a drivers car on the road yes the clio (cup or cups packs) is fast, ecoty was talking about road use i think most of the time and for that i cannot fault it, but on any of the big tracks I think after a couple of track days you would be wanting for more, if your going to track your Clio stick...
you boys live in dream land thinking hot hatchs are fast on the track
look at the back of evo on the bedford west track and you will see the little clio in second to last place only to a ford focus 1.6 lol.
you will than see the elsie was 7.45 seconds quicker which is a lift time on a track...
I still see no point to the 182 cup
the extras are well woth the cost with a 182 with cup packs.
I have a 172 and a 182 with cup pack.
182 handles much better and is faster than my 172 to 100 mph.
the 182 cup is a rip off all the way imo, if it were 100kg lighter than yes but 20 kg is...
that towelling stuff is to coarse,
you need microwipes they are so soft and are not treated in any way.
Sponges are ok imo a mitt will just hold the sh*t in it so next time you wash the car your nackered.
I use the carbon wax by zymol and it lives in my fridge :-)
Autoglym pollish is to...
quote "you will ALWAYS get swirls on cars, no matter how careful you are"
No you will not my car has no swirls,
you guys are not using the right products / cloths I am amazed when i go to shows/meets how bad peoples cars look when the sun shines on them swirl city,
When i take my car for a...
yes wash the car without swirling your sponge, and dont use a jet wash.
its amazing how people do not know how to wash a car.
My car is over 2 1/2 years old and still looks the b****cks.
ps Zymol £100 kit is what i use btw but only ever done it twice in that time...
I loved it on my test drive, so stable i got 130mph on the test drive and it was like rock steddy, sounds nice, holds its price, looks the b****cks with nismo stuff on.
And when you have had enough you can fit a super charger on for an extra 100 BHP.
It has a boot and will not fall apart...
