Yeah same engine 110bhp. Going for a remap as soon as its got the 1st 1000 mile service done. Which been told can give it up 12bhp more and 14lb ft.
Have to say thoguh compared to my 1.2 16v clio it feels so much more solid. C4 build quality is brilliant considering its a french car. got the...
City centre manchester M1 postcode althoguh still waiting on my sodding parkign space at the moment being allocated to me so i have to park it on the street at moment.
If you know manchester live on whitworth street so basically about as high risk as it comes round here :/
The insurance on...
I honestly dont know what the hell i do to get quotes that are doubling these figures with the me being 22 1yrs NCB and cheapest i could find was £2500 and that was tpft! fully comp was just under £4k i know my postcode bumps it up but seriously thats crazy. That was on 172.
That was with me...
My mates 1.6 52 model has disks im sure of it.
And its totally stock.
And about the one with the 172 kit on didnt they do for a short run the 1.6 renault sport or somethign it was in the sports range very similar kit to the 172/182 but ws only a 1.6 engine or something like that i remember...
Only keep my cars for 2 - 3 years max and always buy brand new riding the clutch isnt gonna kill it in that time generally and cause i dont usually brake till i absolutely have to i come down the gear box and let engine braking do it for me round town etc. By the time i end up at the light only...
Anyoen got one?
Im just after basically seeing what there liek to live with day to day. I was gonna get myself an alpine 9855r but the bluetooth thing would be a big help to me and its all integrated etc and the unit doesnt look that bad either.
Although am also looking at the AVH 5700DVD...
Hoping my student loan arrives so i can get one but at same time i need a new PC and wanna get some stuff done to the car remap new headunit etc. Thinking my loan aint gonna last long at all.
Id be up for doing this as long as you dont mind a citroen tagging along lol.
But the cause means something to me as well one of my best friends died from cancer and she was only 20 so id be up for doing this to raise some money.
Bit of an unfair poll that the 3 clio willams are grouped in that case shouldnt the RS models be grouped?
Which would make the 172/182's come out at 37%
agree with most of them although i do sit with my foot on the brake or ride the clutch just depends how long im gonna be sat at the lights for althoguh most of the lights round where i live are only on for a few seconds at a time they literally let 3 or so cars past then change so no point in...
I used to turn mine on occasionally by accident when i had my clio. Not as easy to accidentally flick em on in the C4 plus i just leave the lights on auto anyways.
Ok but why the fog lights and sidelights why not just dipped beams?
Whats the point in using the fogs the dipped beams make you more noticable anyways.
Agreed the front fogs on my car (citroen C4 now) just make a wider beam its kinda useless unless you really wanna see into the lane next to you as well as you can in your own :/
Only used em once on motorway other day goign up to scotland was so foggy was sitting at around 80 perfectly clear...
The look pretty there just not so hot when it comes to actual ability although there fine for a lot of people. And some of there older headunits were amazing but the newer xplod stuff is shite.
That pioneer i put up would be fine 3 preouts 1 being a dedicated sub out so bass wouldnt be a problem. But i still say get the 9855R one of the best headunits around gonna be getting one for my new car myself.

got a wiring diagram showing it "should" have a lead running directly to positive terminal on battery of your car.

Also a fairly good unit and has the added extra of bluetooth handsfree built in.
But i would also say go with the 9855R
Alpine units arent generally as pretty but what you lack in...
Pioneer or alpine is what i would advise look through find one with the best features in your budget. And doesnt matter how powerful the speakers are You will still onlybe supply them with around 20 odd watts of RMS when powered from a headunit.
Plus these big numbers they stick on speakers...
The alpines never particularly look nice but sound quality wise there above all the others typically.
Depends what your after though. i think the newer alpines with the glide touch thing look really nice. Plus the biolite screens etc.
I was getting confused by this but think i just clicked. You basically when you click on an icon want it to open a new IE window or whatever browser your using for that link and not replace any current browser window you have open with the one you just clicked.
Try this go to control panel go...
Its worth going dual core now actually. Already games are starting to pop up to take advantage of them. Plus for the price they are getting down to now there getting much more worth it when you start overclocking them. Just think a 4400+ with a 200mhz overclock gives you dual FX53 speeds. for...
Give it another couple years 3yrs no claims should make a massive difference to my prices and then can get rid of the citroen and come back to a clio RS probably.
I absolutely love the new RS really hope they live up to the standards of the current models.
And most of the other newer cars...
