    Phase 1 to 182...

    I used to own a phase 1 and I toyed with the idea of changing to a 182, saw it as an upgrade tbh.

    50mpg from my 182!

    If you're going to cheat, at least do it properly. :approve: :o The next screen, which tells you how many miles you have left before you run out of fuel read 3,000 miles. lol Only had about half a tank left too. :clown:

    New MacBook or New iMac?

    I'm currently in the same boat, deciding between a Macbook Pro and an iMac. Patiently (:boring:) waiting for the refreshed iMacs to come out before I commit though.

    PH1 172 Rarity - Features?

    I owned a ph1 172 for 3.5 years and I never knew about these rear heaters. :o Mine had a shift light but no alloy bonnet. It's amazing how everybody in this thread seems to have the "rare" alloy bonnet on their clio. Strange that. lol

    how bad are standard exhausts...

    The exhaust on my old one fell off at 40k miles. Pretty much exactly when I was expecting the damn piece of tin to fall off.:dapprove:

    Maximum Amount of ram in 32bit XP

    32bit Vista can handle 4GB RAM total, this includes memory and any video card memory. So if you have 4gb RAM and a 1gb video card then windows will only see 3gb RAM and the 1gb video card (3+1=4gb in total). The extra 1gb of RAM you have will just be ignored by the 32bit Vista.

    Is an Iphone worth it?

    Is the iPhone worth it? I hope so, I've just bought one. Just unpacking the box now. Anybody know if I'll get the chance to enter my PAC code (i'm having to change networks) during activation via iTunes? Or will it require a call to O2 custumer services?

    Fallout 3

    Mini nukes are the ammo for the "Fat Man" gun. You need to find/buy a Fat Man first then you can nuke stuff. :approve: Be careful with it though, or you'll blow yourself to s**t. lol

    Fallout 3

    Not much really if you've bought everything for your house and bought all the schematics. Just the occasion gun used for repairing really. I've got 40K caps and nothing to spend them on. :dapprove: Yet I still keep selling everything I pick up. :o Finally starting on the main quest now...

    182's... the crappest car to drive in snow?!

    I thought my old 172 was alright in the snow tbh!

    Fallout 3

    If you don't want to kill Tenpenny you can talk to him instead, he then offers to pay you double to kill Mr Crowley. Careful though, that Crowley fella has tons of health. I Fat Man'd his stupid zombie face. The game won't let me wear my T51-B armour yet, need Power Armour training...

    Fallout 3

    Same here, can't get enough of this shiz. :approve: And I'm sorry if this is a repost (I tried searching, couldn't find anything), but a friend of mine sent me this earlier. If you love Fallout 3, you'll love this: Wasteland Dancin'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbyhpsv-6sM

    clio 197

    Haha, it's really funny that you say that because just this morning, on my way to work I saw a white 197 (cup'd I think?), and I was just staring at it. :o Looked soooo good sitting there waiting at the traffic lights, so much presence, it looked fantastic. I had a little bit of a sex wee as I...

    Fallout 3

    I've just come across a place called "The Republic of Dave". lol Ruled by... you guessed it.. President Dave. As for picking locks, you've got to move the bobby pin (left stick) to the correct angle so you can turn the screwdriver all the way. Slowly move the screwdriver (apply torque with...

    Do you reccommend a 1*2

    Good car for the money, they're getting so cheap now. I owned a 172 for 3 and a half years and nothing seriously major ever went wrong. Most expensive thing to fix that happened was the exhaust backbox dropping off. :dapprove: However the list of minor faults/niggles is as long as my...

    type r or a 182.?

    I went from a ph1 172 to a CTR and the CTR is the better car in every single way IMO. But that's just me. I wouldn't blame anyone for choosing a clio over the civic or vice versa, it's purely personal opinion. You do however get more car for your money with the clio. As a couple of other...

    Mine's just turned up. Can't play it though because I've got to go to f**king work. :dapprove:

    Fallout 3

    If you've got a good-spec PC, then get it for the PC. If like me however you've got a sh*t PC, then you're limited to the consoles. I originally ordered this for the PS3 (I prefer to buy games for the PS3 because there's a whole host of things I don't like about my Xbox lol), however after...

    s**t turning circle

    Re: s**t turning circle I agree. I thought the clio's turning circle was bad but somehow the civic's is (only slightly mind) worse. Not that it really bothers me tbh.

    swap my civic type r for 197?

    lol Craig you've only just bought the civic. Loving the profiteering attempt though. ;)

    are there any common faults with these

    No one has mentioned the exhaust yet, the standard one will break at around 40k miles. Also remember to check out the shocks for leaks.

    clutch pedal is very stiff

    If you found the CTR clutch stiff then no wonder you're having trouble with a 172 clutch. :rasp: You get used to the clutch, don't worry. Although saying that I still put my foot through the floor everytime I change gear in the civic now. It's what clio ownership does to you. :clown:

    clio 197 v civic typeR video proof

    +2 You can't really use 'home-made' videos to compare cars. For a start you don't know if either one has been modified in any way or not.

    Can the speedo be reset!

    That's what it's supposed to do. Did on my old phase 1 anyway.

    Where can you get this from (Performance Heros)?

    clio 1.6 16v compared to a VTR

    I'd have thought they'd be pretty even.

    Did you give your 1*2 full acceleration in your test drive?

    When I was test driving my CTR the saleman moaned at me because I didn't go into Vtec. lol
