Nice one Jon. LOL at all that traveling only to find this peach just down the road! Will you use this to drag the 172 about?

Firmer and more consistent pedal position...that's what I noticed. Keeps the pedal where you want it/expect it to be regardless of how hot you get the fluid or lines.

I've not glitched once. I pass my time doing missions, races, and general f***ing about. I think they have the balance of earnings/rank points/costs about right. Things are within reach, but you have to work a little for them...it keeps me coming back anyway. Will LOLOLOLOLOL if they do reset...

Urgh! Can I expect to need this on my ultra-efficient direct injection EcoBoost then? If so, thank f*** I took the 5yr 100k mile warranty when I bought it!

Since when did modern cars need 'decoking'? I'm curious, what causes it and why does it only happen on MSC/JCW variants?

I like that. I like the 'f*** you' styling. Don't spend a penny on it, enjoy the attention/laughs it gets, enjoy the rarity, then sell it on as a genuine rare original car for a higher price than you'll get if you start chopping it up/changing things.

To have it applied or just for that tiny thimble of liquid? Looks good regardless!

I remember being doubtful when you said there was no element of your FRS feeling a little bit diesel-like as it revved out. Now I've seen the light LOL. Modern turbo charged engines are wonderful things...no downside at all compared the equivalent bhp output NA, and a sh*t load of upsides. I'd...

Err, no they don't. I've recently started hitting the limiter more and more in mine. When new, it noticeably ran out of urge over 5,500 rpm...no need to watch the rev counter, you could very easily feel when it stopped accelerating as it approached the limiter. Now mine's properly run in...

You missed the fact that ALL tests so far comparing the ST with what else is out there hot-hatch wise have it leading the class. MPG and price are factors for sure, but they are far from the sole reason these cars are everywhere.

LOL really? Where is it you drive where people turn and stare in wonderment? I did 30k miles in my 200 and never once felt this; to 99.9% of people who see it, it's just a Clio, exactly the same as my ST is just a Fiesta.

What N0ddie says ^^^ is bang on. Similar driving experience, similar overall pace, but with the ST it is much easier to make progress. Heated windscreen and heated seats also made my commute this morning a very pleasant experience. I've only seen one other one on the roads so far.

I do this, I always do this, my legs work so I have no problem using them...but it hasn't solved the problem for me. I still get idiots parking right next to me when my car's surrounded by 100 other empty spaces. It just shows how little people actually think about anything at all when they're...

I winced watching that, several times. Extreme idiocy.

Beautiful, but no less similar to the basic Clios than the ST is to the lower spec Fiestas, no? The only things externally that mark any of them out over lesser siblings are wheels, calipers, exhausts and bumpers. Unless there's some other appendage on the Clio I've missed?

Exactly.

Exactly Look at the share of the costs on the pie chart. Saving a few percent on the fuel cost won't make a huge difference to the overall cost of ownership. It'll still be the biggest portion by far. Depreciation/finance/hp/lease costs are the only thing you can reduce that actually make any...

Clearly scripted from the outset to ensure the Clio didn't make the final two. Did look a bit useless tbh.

All done at the dealer yesterday. Mirror supplied and fitted, and SYNC system reset fixing my iPod connectivity problem. They didn't update the software after all as it's quite a lengthy task apparently and they didn't have time to complete it as it was too late in the day. No bother as I have...

So, test bias and pre-scripted agenda aside, after a bit of a hack about and some intentional stupidity by Tiffany Dell the Renault's dashboard was lit up like a Christmas tree. That alone makes me happy I'm not in one right now.

This is why my front left wheel always used to lock way before the right one in my 172 Cup? Makes sense, throw in 75kg for a driver and there's serious righthand side bias!

Got it booked in this Friday to have a complete new mirror assembly fitted. Quite surprised that they come in at only £160 plus fitting...That's colour matched too. Going to have them update the SYNC software while they're at it, hopefully restore my iPod connectivity. Now I've had it for a...

Re: Understeer Soltuions? This maybe worth a read through...went through most causes and most possible solutions... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?631444-The-endless-battle-against-Understeer&highlight=endless+understeer

Why are they definitely not real bullets? From what was visible on the clip, it seemed a pretty standard sidearm he was holding as he went to disarm the perp. Looks like he got tagged twice but not in a main artery...so he was downed, but not leaking too badly.

Hero random cop that just happened to be there all along in his car as far as I could make out. Waited until it was safe to engage then went for it.

Unlucky!

Orange seats are a must if you're going with a black, white or orange body. Stick with the ST2, for the extra cost both used or new what you get is worth it I think.

So as if the mirror being swiped off is not enough, now my SYNC has stopped working with my iPod. Connects ok, says it's auto-indexing but never actually does so can't get anything out of it at all. I can connect it with a simple 3.5mm jack for now but that gives me no control and no voice...

Someone on STOC is trying to, ahem, sort me out :) Only half hour of labour to fit too which is better that I expected.

50mph, straight out of the nearside hedgerow and into the mirror. Heard a massive Whack! and thought it had just collided with the windscreen/side window at first, looked in the rear-view at the explosion of feathers and saw the orange mirror cover go beneath the van following...then looked back...
