Im in, it will be my first clio sport meet too!! Aaaahhhhh

Splendid!! - and a matching tartan rug on your knees whilst listening to Greatest Harmonica Solos of the 60s? Hang on though - Isnt the Mk3 the sort of middle shaped one? Not the newest of new shape but the one before that? This was a red boxy one. Probably a F-H reg (didnt see what year though)

I dunno, as you say it wasnt a prob to beat him from a standstill, he just seemed to have a lot of power under him for a car with 3 people in it (and stoping power)!! I was bricking it and there was only me in the car!! Its getting serviced next month so I might get them to make sure...

Whats more funny is that last month they reviewed the clio cup and the type-R; They stated that the 172 Cup did 0-60 in 6.8 seconds then printed (in the same magazine) the stat page with a 0-60 of 7.1 !! (Their Calibra Turbo stats are way out too apparently!!) Max P are poo... I buy the...

Just had a rather unenjoyable race in Stevenage!! A Golf GTI 16V loaded with three people tried to overtake me so I thought Im having none of that and floored it. I overtook him from standstill and corners but he was nailing it hard and I had difficulty keeping up with him!! Especially when I...

I have a mahoosive maglite. Good for clobbering and completely neccessary officer!!

Is your Valver done up or is it just standard mate?

Yeah it was a Mk2 172 with Team Dynamics Diablos on it. It wasnt lowered but apparently had no scrubbage and full(ish) lock! (Would look sh!t if not lowered though)

Does anybody elses car drift (or feel like its drifting) slightly from side to side when they brake hard? I have noticed it recently but dont know if its because I have fitted alloys or if I have just never noticed it before.

My insurance company (tesco) want an extra £357/yr to add 17" alloys top my car!! They only cost me £600!!

Hi anyone, I have just bought some 17s for my 172!! I was really debating between 16s and 17s but I saw an offer for Team Dynamics Tornados with Toyo Proxes TS-1 205/40/ R17 for £599 inc fitting etc. they are Hyper-black, a sort of gunmetal tinge and look wicked next to the titanium silver...

And I dont mean the arse end of the car either hehehe!!!

Oh dont get me wrong, I like whipping it around twisties etc but pushing it to its limits on tight corners has never been my thing. I lost control of my arse end doing that in my Rover 25 (though its a bit of a dog in comparison I must admit!!)

OMP are well cheap arent they? Might consider that, god knows if one strut brace can be better than another. The K-Tec ones looked appealing because they were silver/chrome with a K-Tec badge one them. I am so shallow!! Might get a set then. I dont like going to fast round corners anyway but I...

I have heard that getting insurance in Ireland is quite expensive. I am 22 with 2 yrs no claims and my 172 costs me £1260 a year to insure with Tesco. I am about to start modifying it so I suppose it will go up, though with my old clio they wanted no money for a performance exhaust and...

I have noticed that K-Tec are now selling strut braces for a variety of renaults. They are chrome effect front (and possibly rear) application. Can anyone tell me what they do, and if they are worth getting? I understand that they prevent chassis flex but is any change noticeable when they are...

Does anyone know if Kuhmo make good tyres? Carnoisseur are selling 17" Wolfrace Voodoos with 205/40 R17 Kuhmos for £566.99 inc VAT and Delivery!! Thats a pretty sweet price and I think that would look pretty horny on my 172! Has anyone got a picture of a clio II on these rims?

Yeah, he had gone when I drove past about 5 mins later. I dont think he was going fast enough to do much damage except giving the springs a crunch as he went up the curb

No, no damage, just disrupted a few shrubs and made some skid marks! (in his pants too methinks) hehehe
