Whats all this off the line sh!te. No performance is based purely on this nonsense. Of course 4*4 will get off the line quicker. My God has been said tOOOOOO many times. When rolling the 4*4 will suffer against a F/RWD, given the same power to weight everyone goes on about. These threads...

Guys, them arguements keep on coming. Cant compare so many of the cars mentioned. e.g. a CTR has no air con as standard: so all comparisons with a standard RS Clio are wasted. After all the biggest single weight saving on the 172 cup was lack of AC. Who would buy a CTR without it. 90% of sales...

Where we will all feel sorry for his nearest and dearest. It is no different from any other youngster that does the wrong thing at the wrong speed. I know we all are thinking the same. What is with the poor taste sympathy. Granted he may have been the victim of a sadly unfortunate accident...

Having had three of these beasts now. 2 MK1s one with and one without alloy bonnet. And my now MK2. The MK2 does witout doubbt have a stiffer setup. Down to the thicker rollbar taht was fitted. MK1 seeemed more aggresive, this was due to the poorer torque curve. However the MK2 has a different...

There are a lot of very good points here. Overtaking the 40s in a 60 can be very problematic, as everyone is stuck tail to tail. However I can not believe people believe that you can not overtake on chevrons. Also so many people believe the the national speed limit on a single carriageway is...

EDDE, Perhaps you should read the published differences. I had not altered my ally bonneted mk1 against the steel later MK1. Differences MK1/2 included a thicker roll bar, larger bore of throtle body(gave a better all over torque curve) Fly by wire throttles. Yes more weight yet the advantage...

Gary Do not mean to be condescending in any way. Track driving is great fun, but will not make a better road driver. Simply because it is a different skill. Anyone who says learn to drive on a road by doing track is deluded. Think about hazzards and just differing road surfaces. Junctions...

Gary, Didnt mean to upset you just a realistic view on cars. I wont give the reasons for my accuaracy, as there are some very good factual pieces of information available. How about abilitly rather than, mines a fast one: How do you know!!!!!! I am not willing to go down that route. Im...

Better to loose as much fuel as possible, no bits and bobs in the car. Then if you are lucky; you have a good engine. There are so many variations its mind boggling. Any 172/182 can be within 20PS. (this includes any make of car,) + or -10% engine power is well within manufacturing...

Guys, You all forget thet the geometry is set up for all road types. MK1 172 rolled more than MK2. Thicker roll bars to start. All cup variations are 3mm lower. Naff difference. Lower a road car to any extent will actually hamper the ability to drive the car round quickly on our roads. You...

If you kids are trying to drive too fast for the throw of a xenon: then 1) slow down to the level you can drive/see at. 2) slow down anyway. What the hell do you want, daylight everywhere you go. Grow up and understand people have to drive towards you all the time.

They are jusy right, what the hell do you want from a set of headlights. If you had any longer throw from the offside then you would blind every mo fo out there (dipped obviously). Every headlight gives a higher nearside. God why dont people understand why evey car has the same offset light...

Why do all you numpties compare modded cars. Kin pointless. 16Vs, Willys 172s, 182s are not so far enough apart that the driver means ALL and I mean ALL. Just get a god engined one of the lowest potential spec. and it will even get past the fastest one on an engine trhat doesnt give the best...

Sorry my typing is for sh*t!!!:oops:

FREE*g MUPPETS, There is so little differenc between all 172/182 variants it is not to be believed. The only difference is the outright idiocy of the driver. If you gave all variances one driver then perhaps one, and I will state again will give a very slight performance difference. BOYS get...

Dave182 or anyone else that does the same. No wonder clutches smell on a hill or for that matter on a slight incline. Why the f*ck do you think you have a handbrake. PS for all those that want a quick getaway the handbrake allows revs without pulling forward. It is not possible to get power...

Rob, The flashing of headlights is actually to signify your presence on the road as a warning. Unfortunately everyone seems to think it is to give them priority. Just goes to show why it should not be used to signal other road users in that fashion. Mark

PS and you can not have them as fog lights:oops:

Sorry Quickshift, Didnt realise as a driver of a car with Xenons, you have no idea what they are. ;)

It is not a viable proposition. There are no such things as bulbs per se. (see pevious threads) . Will cost roughly £800 - £1000 to do. They do give really good light and more cars are now fitted as standard, just do not waste your money on a car that does not have them as standard. All you...

Nice to see a bunch of CHILDREN trying to compare the cards!!! (Im too old) My 182 beats your 911 (Ha Ha ) Does no one understand ability. Most of the muppets here could not drive a milk float. I have watched you children for far too long. Stop trying to compare anything you. 1st of all...

can no one grow up? Anyone who believieves printed press, first of all needs a head examination, secondly a full frontal labotamy. Christ, people seem to think the most modest difference in cars perfomance makes a Porche beater. GET REAL

Well Hi there me ol mucker, been abroad for about 20 months, working. Good to know there are still some old stallwarts here

Well done that man;) aaronc, nice to see some semblance of normality

Someone has to remember that there is no "clio sport". There is only "Renault Sport" which is a separate company (linked) to Renault. Different factory. Differences abundant. The only models that qualify are 172, 182, V6 (all variances). Williams is different again. 16V is different again...

Been said and muted over too long. Why bother to make a "MUPPET" out of a perfectly good motor. Rattles will not be covered by any aftermarket anyway. Your life time warranties do not cover rattles. Dont spend your life in a garage chasing the impossible. One would hope VivJ would spend £25...

Admits, Big time agree. As said if in warranty, do not alter, even if out of? then perhaps consider an aftermarket???, but at the cost for nought??? Sorry mate, Viv wants to drool, fine!! (great fliration M8) Sorry, the fact the 172 (sorry yes:cup) is a steath machine, means NO stupid "I...

Guys, Search the forums. This is a well known issue with Mk1 & MK2 172s. If it is under warranty get it replaced. If not, then spending so much money on something that will give no power increase for a huge outlay is mad. Sorry RSTDL, there is a huge problem with the 172 exhaust, (not...

Understand m8, could be the fact I have seen only two left hand drive Willys in France. That is around Lyon alone. Having said that they do not say Williams as U rightly say "Williams was for the UK market only". Trouble is every country in the EU had the same car, may not have said Williams...

Dont know much about numbering guys. Why would Renault make No.1 Willy left and then No.2 RHD. The most obvious answer is the country of origin (meaning there are far more Willys than the rarely bought UK model would suggest). No way does it work that way. Great concept, however most of the...
