that's me now had a 65 and 80 and a 100... ohh and a 106!

Sold the twingo on as I didn't like having so much money tied up in it, looking to get a lease car but still sitting on the fence on one so needed a runabout asap, didn't want to spend over a grand so went to look at a local DCI that was advertised Advert was brief, just said clio DCI...

Mega! remember flying about Falkirk in a nicked one when I was 12 (I didn't nick it - or drive it!)

ive never had a 197 but ive had some quick ph1 and ph2's and never felt any issues with my 200, if anything it was quicker! do you have an aftermarket exhaust? if so search for the flat spot on here and you will find out more info when running aftermarket exhausts on them

polish up headlights, find a wing mirror the same colour as your standard one, RS Grill, new rear number plate light (they are cheap on ebay and look crap when they are all faded)

Re: Finally. I should btw! My 2 favourite things was fast cars and hosing birds, now i cant do any of them!

Re: Finally. awesome mate, id do anything for one, theres nothing this side of a FRS id be happy with! everything else would just be a compromise!

I cant believe how many of these are on the road considering the price of them! maby im stuck in 2005 but its a lot of cash for them being so popular, I remember paying £16k for my Clio GT and never saw another one on the road due to the price of them! id love a shot in one of these 1l Ecoboost...

needs raised! other than that its cool. bet it drives horrible that low!

I would look into a normal d4f 1.2 16v as they look the same to me although ive never had one off!

handy mate to have!! TD04 will be impressive had a shot of a TD04 powered starlet many moons ago and it was terrifying lol! 1.4 TCE 130 head will be a mega challenge, maby better just flowing the standard head better, I know it has VVT so management would be an issue unless you locked it out.

I tried a standard focus st intercooled on my last one and it was just too big and no more, would have fitted no problem if i was willing to trim plastic support from inside the bumper or remove the lower grill but i wanted it as factory as possible! Still got it actually! yeah oscar...

Pauls your guy to talk to if your considering changing turbo etc. Yeah hes in leeds. He did mention even the 172 injectors are running at 85% duty so when changing turbos then you need to uprate the fuel pump and again better injectors, i beleive megane rs ones should fit though

Lol nothing at all i just uploaded the video with a brief description explaining the wet conditions and s**t start never mentioned anything about gt vs rs lol its pretty quiet anyway and since they are very similar to clios theres loads more info on here anyway!

its night and day mate it was always nippy but now its properly quick for what it is weighing 970kg or there abouts i beleive it is. The figures dont tell the full story though the poeer delivery is brilliant proper torquey low down now! Any gear sink the boot and it pulls like a train from...

haha cheers mate! Ehh i posted up the video above, remember its against forum rules to have a gt thats quicker than an rs lol!!

:(

save your cash... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRADE-1-IBM-Lenovo-T400-Laptop-Core-2-Duo-2-26GHz-Warranty-Office-Windows-7-/370899356119?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item565b5309d7 stick a SSD and 8GB of ram in it and it will fly - while probably out living you! im using a 7yr old Thinkpad T61...

goes alright, hardly a scientific form of timing but im counting that about 4 seconds off the 0-100mph time of a 172 and 2 seconds faster than a Twingo 133!!

there or there abouts, takes 3rd gear to get to 60 because of the short ratio box, standard is 9.5 or something I beleive

0-100mph sprint on a private road. was soaking wet so not the best start in the world!

saw a black 182 on the stirling road from stirling services roundabout into denny

self adjusting so yep if its slipping its time to adjust it, how many miles has it done? we get 140-160k out them usually

you could get in touch with an online trader such as http://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/ but id imagine postage will cost you a bomb so your best bet is your local dealer :)

windscreen seal ive only had one of my 172s that's done it it was at 118mph exactly, no matter what the weather lol! but I had to get to the bottom of it asap drove me nuts on the way to work every morning, I feel your pain

always during cornering doesn't even have to be fast cornering. that was brand new cup dampers and brand new eibach springs, however ive had the same issue on a standard spring and damper car although not brand new parts

I was "cup" wishbones and eibach sportlines and had bother with rubbing until I realised I hadn't fitted the bumpstops to the new dampers! doh!! once they were fitted there was no rubbing at all

Was down at RS Tuning yesterday, stuck it on the rollers and straight away it pulled a 107bhp 115lb/ft run and horribly enough as soon as the overboost came on at 4500rpm the injectors ran at 100% duty until the limiter! so 172 injectors went in, paul worked his magic on it and managed to get...

I like the idea of lease/PCP I just 1. get bored too easily and 2. I can commute 5 miles a day and then suddenly my work decides im going 100 miles a day so millage limits are a no go! im watching the prices of 2nd hand Twingos closely to see if we can justify swapping the Mrs 1.2 twingo for a...

would it depreciate 6k in 2 years though if you bought it yourself? (ive not looked at 2nd hand prices on them so not sure how they are holding)
