wow nice, need to see it go head to head with Roamers TBd 172 at York i think, let the battle commence.....
actually IIRC was Joe using a Vel Satis turbo maniford for his concoction??
no, dont know should i put myself into finacial ruinnings for another 5 year:(, think ill wait till i finish my degree, but it is so tempting to buy one now!!!
i would rather see the new clio being NA power rather than turbo-charge, as imo only 4wd or rwd would benefit most from a turbo engine, a 200bhp na engine would be great, and suspension tunning by Lotus would also fair alot better than TWR i think.
tell me about it, went for a test drive the other day(mk1 also) with me, my brother and the salesman, and boy did it shift, and the salesman didnt seem to mind when i boot it either :)
yeah the Renault dealer (second hand dept) offer me 14%APR, what a joke, the 172 i looked at there was w reg, in a very tasty Titanium silver but done 43k miles!!! and they want 8600 for it, way too overpriced but my heart nearly won over my head after i test drove it:oops:
7.9%APR seems to...
Renaut Insurance gave me that quote, although i have 4yr NCB with 2 yr of them being a bonus NCB, Dj illusion i do work atm 40hrs a week till sept when i goes back to uni, which company stated about working at least 16hrs a week?
Look at this for a insurance quote, 989 quid for me (21yr) to insure a 172!! but i cant seem to get finance off AA, Marblesloans etc because im a student, any idea where i can get finance from?
here is a K&N universal filter fiited on the piperx plate (cheers Ren16v)

On the mk1 172 is there are 2 version of silver? one i want is Titanium, what is the other one? and what year did the different shade of silver came out?
cheers
Gilly one thing you have to remember is 172 are 10 to 20mm lower than your 1.2 16v, so -40mm springs on a 172 are more like -50/60mm on yours, if you want to retain some ride comfort then -40mm should be your choice, or if you bother more about looks then -60mm
