Ahh, I suspected it'd be somewhere in that direction, went paintballing the other day which involved a little bit of the Wincester end of the route in a recent thread (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?571263-A-good-route-for-us-Southerners!.&highlight=horsham) and there seemed to be...

If you did this from home (CF area I gather) may I ask which direction you normally head in? I like the pics with the harnesses drooping over the seat, looks very purposeful. That sounded much better in my head, sod it, the whole car looks nice and purposeful yet restrained :)

Entertaining drive and great to see such a wide variety of cars and everyone just driving respectfully and having fun.

The age of everyone who has posted will have gone up by 3 years? :p I'm 19 and consider myself quite young & very lucky to have a 182 since I'm at uni & not in a FT job. There had to be a reward for saving my monies, not hitting anything and borrowing my mum's 59 BHP fiesta (not allowed to...

I feel left out for not getting the "Oh is it for your clio?" response now :( Fitting is really simple, just make it up as you go along! Self-tapping screws would probably be more a bit more secure and quicker, but a 2mm pilot hole + 15 or so random wood screws worked absolutely fine. The...

Those black turinis make such a nice contrast! I like it, but I didn't buy an Inferno :p

Corrected to make it sound less expensive? I think it's all swings and roundabouts really. I would have preffered the tyre, exhaust costs and even looks of a 172, but couldn't ignore the age/condition/price/etc of the 182 I found locally.

So much seems to ride on the actual car, where you buy it from and location. I looked for 6 weeks for my car and not once did I even see an advert for a "mint 172 for 3k easy" that some people on this forum swear exists :p Regardless of what was "supposed" to be available for £xxxx the fact was...

Was just thinking I've hardly seen any RS clios around since buying mine: I've seen a silver 172 cup with a CS tax disc holder in Eastleigh (Think I know of the driver, who is Male) and a silver non-cupped 54 plate (?) 182 at the Cleveland Bay pub a completely random 182 cup (RB & a stripe) in...

Would only be able to do use it down his local high street, between the two zebra crossings, if he's within 1.0s of the V70 traffic car in front though... EDIT: If he's done that he would probably believe that this could happen, skip to 1:15, or ignore completely if you've got something...

That's a lot of corsair stuff inside one box, given the 360mm RAD & Dominator DHX yada yada... overclocked? Very nice cable routing also, looks great! Also may I ask what you've done with the HDDs, presumably RAID 0 SSDs for OS, RAID 0 Vraptors for programs & the 1TB for backup/storage? Or have...

In a sort of... batmobile... way that doesn't look too bad? However it is not a batmobile and if I saw that go past I'd just be thinking "idiot..."

Nice to see an on-circuit advert too rather than pictures of a trip computer saying 60 mpg and shots of it braking by itself to avoid a crash (dull focus/volvo/merc adverts!)

I quite like the Dynamique/RS-172 style wheels in anthracite, I do think the fire extinguisher in a non-stripped car is a bit odd? I imagine it'd do bugger all unless you've got extinguisher lines very well hidden around the cabin? Looks a very tidy example too, nice one :)

I bought my 182 off of a Grandma, she bought it for the supportive seats and motorway performance.

Congratulations on A) managing to take a post about an accident occuring in the world of composite monocoque tubs & 12 point roll cages this far out of context and B) being bothered to find a video & make a thread about it :D That video probably makes anyone who works in Health & Safety wet...

Maybe it would have been wise to insert "relatively" into my post. HOWEVER I stand by my intent (if not my wording): We are lucky to be able to enjoy motorsport with such a high safety standard. Just look at some of the WRC & F1 crashes from the last 15 years - yes some are heart stoppingly...

I'm running with the "cup/trophy mentality" too. Nope, wait who am I kidding I'm just really unprepared... Tyre foam x2 Jack Air freshenor 3.5mm auxilary cable (if you can ever count this since it's attached to stereo permanently)

Put it this way, monitor the ads every day and you will learn the ones in your local area and what you see will speak for itself. Cars dropping in price by £1000 or being chucked around 3 seperate dealers over 4 months. This one for example has been on sale since at LEAST december 2010. Guess...

That is exactly what I am too lazy to make my BG 182 FF look like :( Looks great!

I think this is the best piece of advice you could possibly find in a thread like this. In 3 months of looking daily for 172s I only saw two cars which where anywhere remotely near the price & condition that parkers/autotrader/people-on-this-forum said should be available. Not saying people...

Most likely a bad postcode or you simply have not shopped around at ALL? http://www.carinsuranceexplained.com/car_insurance_explained/insurance_postcode_risk.htm As others have said using a price comparison site isn't as horrific an idea as many seem to think as long as you only use it to...

The very first person who replied to your thread! :L Owns (presumably?) a company called BTM performance that specialise in Renaultsport stuffs http://www.btmperformance.com/ You can find his cambelt prices here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?467989-172-182-Cambelt-Pricing-for-2011

Looks fantastic, as do all Mk 6 ZSs, in gun metal grey (no idea if that's the official name for the colour) AND you've gone for some normal ride height rather than the factory fitted "off road" ride height :) AND tints/wheels look good without being chavvy. Looks brilliant. One of the nicest MK...

Motorsport is safe. It's road cars on roads which are dangerous... :rasp: I do not mean at all to undermine the intent of your statement though.

Apologies for my useless post above, had double wishbone suspension in my head at the time, which the clio obviously isn't xD

Can't imagine how you'd even go about this without custom fabricated uprights since to adjust caster you need to displace the upper/lower ball joint forward or rearward and if there isn't built in adjustment (which I highly doubt) then you'd be completely changing the suspension geometry even if...

When I asked caraudiodirect (we also get a 15% discount with them IIRC) this question a few months ago (specifically that I didn't want to fuss with amps, loads of wiring etc it just needed to be simple, effective and worthwhile over OEM) they were adament that if you're new and not too sure the...

From my limited reasearch it appears you buy the steering wheel control harness for a clio: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=10271 And then you buy the adaptor for your head unit, depending on brand, which can be seen in the "recommended" section in the info boxes...

Very amusing, I love the attention to detail including the "alternative use" images.
