Welcome! Decided which one you're after yet? There's quite a few (Ph2 172, 172 cup, 182, 182 FF, 182 cup, 182 trophy, V6 255) For the best of everything a 182 FF (FF = full fat, unofficial term for a 182 with the optional cup chassis and cup spoiler) is the one to go for! Just so you don't...

* Size of steering wheel * Shape of seats: I think, when view from the front/rear they are too square and should be more "body" shaped e.g. like the Audi RS/S/TT ones * The "feel" of the gearbox is a bit embaressing compared to say, a fiesta. Needless to say everythign else makes you forget...

Not least because by the time the "arctic" air gets to your car it'd be the same temperature as all the rest of the air in Cheshire (or wherever you are)... ...principle of thermodynamic equilibrium n all. If however you were to attach a calf rearing bucket on the end of your induction hose...

Advert says it's a 182 FF not a 182 cup? Glad to see you went for the best-of-everything version of the 182, hope you enjoy!

Interesting to hear that there's a legal reason to do it, even though "sheep" is the reason for most. Thanks all.

Found the FIA drawing, but not the document xD Even has a drawing of how to use stress plates... http://www.fia.com/resources/documents/497026785__P11_2007.pdf If 10 degrees is ideal but max 45 then maybe isofix/rear-belt-buckle etc points are deemed ok. Dunno, get a tape measure and brush up...

What's wrong with the original, free, screw-in tow-eye? Do people just do TRS etc straps for looks or do the world's motor racing circuits really not have a hook/anything capable of coping with a standard sized tow-eye? The chance of bending a standard tow-eye beyond use in an accident seems...

Hah, love the irony. So in asking where is the best place, you're decided to put them in one of the worst places :p Not saying I'm a doctor who's seen loads of crushed spines from badly-installed harnesses, just passing on the info written by the proffesionals. Even if you do think...

...made even higher by having low profile/cheap tyres & rock hard suspension, which you'd assume anyone fitting fake/real BBS would also have.

Short of a harness bar or cage, rear struts are the "best" place. There is an FIA document somewhere about rules & regs for harness placement. general idea is that they should be within 15 degrees (IIRC) of the horizontal but can have much more (30 degrees IIRC) of an angle when viewed top...

If you've owned one - it's about as far from a Mk5 Ford Fiesta/Puma as you can get...

Curiosity fufilled. Thank you.

£1500? This could end badly lol. It really is worth putting the money into getting a non-pikey/dog example. When a cambelt change costs £550, tyres £350 (i.e. all things which are absolutely essential) and rear pads/discs/bearings are £300 it's very easy to see why one 172 is worth £1500 and a...

So we all know that when you put Trendlines (no airbags) in a Mk2 you need to put a resistor in to cure the light - I was just curious as to what renault do on the Trophy & 182's specced with Trendlines? Is it just a case of clearing their own airbag warning light or do Trophys etc not even...

Epic wheels. Epic colour. Epic sound. Thread delivers. Maybe the new standard CS troll reply should be E90 M3 rather than just M3?

Assuming I'm interpretting what you're saying correctly, then yes. "Line speed" is independant of the package you have. If your line speed (combination of everything between your modem and the telephone exchange) is 5 Mb/s then you won't ever get much more than that. Bear in mind line speed is...

For new bits cheapest is probably Wests Renault. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?487856-CONTACT-DETAILS

This. Spot on. At least knowing you've a gallon left makes the maths really easy :p

Like the cupra splitter Like the colour (what colour IS this? Surely it's not actually mondial blue?) Original wheels provided me with many ground-clearance related LOLs And then you went all Need For Speed Underground on it with the front bumper. Eyelids drop the match into the hay stack.

Maybe "class" has a different meaning allllll the way up north :L 6000k is often said to be the "limit" so to speak - blue, for those that want a little different, but not so blue that you get pulled over at every opportunity or get mistaken for being a c*** everywhere you go! You could...
