182 wont have the council house interior tho ;)

Dont forget to add your registration, tax etc onto that. Motorpoint also try and charge you for a PDI....on a new car! Jokers. www.carpeople.co.uk wrongly advertised 172s at £11500 the other week in our local rag, bet someone got the deal of the century there!

I would say if anything depreciation on a dealer bought car is greater. If you buy from a dealer at a grand more or whatever its gonne be worth £11,500 after a year regardless of what you paid for it. My local dealer said £14000 was the best price he could do. Walked 100 yards up the road and...

total poppycock (top word that innit?) I went to a renno dealer that is on the same road as a car supermarket. He gave us all the same BS. Wanted us to pay 2 grand more for the SAME car. We bought from the car supermarket and the renno dealer we go to (not the one mentioned above) doesnt...

just to let yall know I went to a chrome platers today and enquired about getting the brace polished. They only wanted a measly £30 to do it! so Im gonna drop it off for them during the week. Depending on how good a job they do on that I will probably take the car in and have all the rocker...

fair play to k tec for coming on here and talking openly and honestly about it. Can you see LAD doing that? I think not! Im sure K Tec will give a totally honest estimation when its all tested.

andyman 3 grand for the kit is DIY! We were talking about this at our last regional meeting, we rekon 8 grand would be the total cost to supply and fit a bolt on turbo kit (this is the cost a member was quoted who had got hold of a turbo kit) . So yeah your looking at nearer 10 with the brakes...

Just order the pipe. Its £97 delivered (they charge me for ordering it in from janspeed (WTF??) so Im having it delivered here. Chap on the phone said it had two holes for the sensors so we shall see. Ill be putting it on on Saturday.

Im getting slightly damp about it. 250 BHP is more than the chassis can take IMO which should make it a fekkin good drive. Will it be worth 8 grand or whatever tho? Probably not.

main one will be ESP/Traction control. Its switchable which is a good thing but its a good bit of kit. Theres small changes to the clocks and dash, and the renault sport logos are grey rather than coloured. Thats about it I think!

can anyone be arsed to work out the average? I would do but Im dead busy...with me mate jack ;)

nice username ;)

24 thought I was old but these older gits have made me feel better. thanks :)

I think its hard to tell weather it will be a classic. Classics can often become sought after years after release and something thats got all the makings of a classic might just fade into obscurity. I certainly think that the 172/cup (lets face it they are the same car FFS!) are one of the...

I think your been stalked or something m8. Are you sure you havent got a screwdriver sticking out of your coat pocket or something? Ladyfriend got sharp fingernails or summat? 3 times is proper bad luck! Would not sell the car tho, if anyone comments just say your after the rally look.

yeah, Ive had the car over 6 months now so I want more power :devilish: Decats for starters then looking at superchip and headwork.

Its not something Ive done with any of my previous cars, stuff like head polishing, cams and stuff, how much does stuff like that cost (including labour)?

£90 I think. Im off tomorrow to sort it :)

reet oh Im finally getting round to ordering a decat (thanks to the person who put the link to larkspeed up) does anyone have a pic of one before being fitted, or can give me some indication where the holes should be for the lambda sensors? I just want to know if they have given me the wrong...

Clios are about as well built as the three little pigs first two houses..... Build quality needs to be low on the list of priorities if your looking at buying one. The sheer speed and otherwise comfortable ride make up for it though.

when the lights flashes its T/C. esp doesnt make the light flash. Ive investigated this extensilvley on my local bypass road ;) Ive made it c**k up a few times too. Not sure exactly how to get it to do it but you can come out of a bend and floor it and the esp cuts ALL the power so its revving...

yeah course it will void warranty as its a whole new ECU. Superchips and remaps are the ones thatdont void warranty as they are changing the ECU programming not the ECU itself.

hmm would need to see it in the flesh. Bordering on tacky I rekon. Maybe its that red paint thats making it look dodgy.

Just do it for the stars ;)

Yours must be an exception m8 its still a renno innit ;)

The subject of lexus lights does have to be handled with kid gloves, I dont want to offend anyone who has them, so I will say this. I urge you not to have them as they will make a good car look completely sh*t and a bad car look even worse. Thank you pleash.

yeah I know what you mean m8, think itll be worth it tho

There wil probably be a few people wanting info on this with the OMP braces that YBparts has been floggin With this brace you get 4 self tapping bolts to secure it to the strut top. What Im wanting to know is weather its simply a case of drilling two holes in the relevant places or if you...
