The car has had 3 former keepers according to the V5. It only displays the name of the last owner on section 2. The main reason I ask is because I tried to trade it in a little while ago and the dealer wasnt interested because he thought the number of owners would make it difficult to shift...

Actually, just been flicking through my V5 and it says in the special notes section: Declared new at first registration. Could this mean that it was pre registered? Rick

Is there any way of knowing for sure if my car was pre registered at a dealership? If anyone has the means to find out for me, I can PM you my reg no. Alternatively , if there is anywhere on the internet that I can check that would be good (bit of a long shot, but if you dont ask you dont get!)...

I think its possibly the worst colour Ive ever seen on any car. Shame, because the regular colours look so good.

Get yourself down to Santa Pod on one of the days when its running. Ive been stood at the end of the quarter mile there when its come past at over 300mph. VERY IMPRESSIVE!! and loud!

One of the lamps on my 172 has gone. Anyone got a renault part number for a replacement? Thanks Rick

Looks fantastic! God knows where youll get a new face plate from tho? Cant argue with the price.

Im not keen on that. Could do to be wider. Having said that, Id still like to see one in the flesh to decide for sure.

Mine were secured good and proper when I had the coilovers. But then when I went back to standard I guess I wasnt thinking straight when I put the brackets back on as they were far too close to the tyre. Result: five minutes later the ABS light came on. Lesson learnt!

Yeah, you can fix it yourself. I did.

Looks good. Nice to see that simple DIY modding is still alive!

I bloody love the Flame Red! Easily the best RS colour. Its a bugger to photograph tho, it never quite reproduces the colour right on pictures. Anyway heres a couple of pics for you. http://rick.runtingz.com/SUNSET2.jpg http://rick.runtingz.com/SUNSET1.jpg

You can save a fair bit of money with a respray if youre prepared to do some of the prep work yourself. Its not worth papering down the bodywork unless you can do a good job. But you can do all the stripping out yourself, and prep the engine bay and inside of the doors etc for paint. Some...

Quote: Originally posted by Clarkie172 on 02 August 2005 agreed!the 172/182 is a good stepping stone/compromise car! Id agree with that. As well as being one of the best hot hatches, its also one of the cheapest so its no suprise that its pretty popular. Does seem to be a lot for sale at...

Thats a lot of driving!!! Is it possible to link to the images on your picture gallery?

I thought the article was crap to be honest. They should have just had separate reviews of each car. Having said that, Evo has been a little strange over the last few months. Hopefully it will pick up again soon.... I think the relative lack of new performance cars is making it more difficult...

Forgot to say, make sure you get all the wheel alignment adjusted correctly once youve got them set at your preferred height.

Looks good, hope youre enjoying them. I see youre resisted the urge to bury it completely! How far down have you got it at the back?

I cant see anything. Looks like the links are directing to the actual images? [Edited by Rick on 7/29/2005 9:00:29 PM] Edit: fixed!

OK, mate. Be sure to post up when you know. Are you planning on selling it with a decat pipe as well?

You just screw the small mounting bracket into the new shocks. My guess is that the tyre has worn through the wire and caused the light to come on.

^^ So I understand. Im not too keen on the twin exit tailpipes tho. Id prefer a single round if possible.

OK, assuming I dont get a custom exhaust made up. What are the off the shelf options? I know about K-Tec and Magnex but other companies dont seem to get much of a mention... If I do get custom on it, does anyone know of any decent exhaust makers around Lincs/East Yorkshire? Cheers Rick
