Youre all dam lucky! I had a rusty 1.0 Metro and a 1.3 Escort at 18 years old.

Saved me about £60 put my mum on

yeah get a mk1 mate. The money saved over a cup can pay for insurance. Remember that a mk1 is geared different and lighter (bit) compared to a mk2 and is virually a dead heat with a Cup. Few examples to be getting on with: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/detail.asp?i=42213&s=293Clio 1...

Oh ok I thought they were about 11k like the DCi100 My bad

Lovely! I really like the mk1 172 now! Feel like swapping the cup for one!!!:cool:

Cup spoiler would look good, silvervisions and 172 grill. Nice car that

I looked at a second hand 182 at a renault dealer in croydon and the front spilter was on the back seat. incase someone nicked it i reckon.

Frosty did too. Imo mate get a mk1 172 - its cheaper and is almost as much focused as a cup.

Think some is down to the standard contis - their cack!!!!

Ford diesels arent the best in the world (pre TDCi) - think their pretty good workhorses though.

Yeah but doesnt a 1.6 cost almost as much as a 182 new? and isnt a 1.4 almost as fast with the same spec? Might be a reason

Ask Fubar for some photos of his old car. Really nice that one was.

Was in renault the other day and there were tons of the colours on their chart. Pity they dont make the 182 in them all.

Do you keep only for 12 months then lee?

Someone of the dynamique owners might wanna part ex with you.

My suggestions trying are: Clio 1.5 DCi80 (renault offered me a straight swap for my 53 cup against an 04 DCi) Golf 1.8T 150 or TDi Astra 1.8 SXi Focus zetec 1.8

^^^ best advise ive heard. Or a artic with similar miles to youre car.

corsa! wtf! How much you looking to spend?

My mate leaves his on "auto" all the time. Although it is a TDi130 and never drops below 50mpg LOL!

Registered with companies house yet?

I find my cousins cup is a bit quicker than mine on take off due to it having more miles on. Ive never know a car to take soo long to loosen up.

I like Freds mirrors

Love it! http://home.btconnect.com/andynet/Sh-1.jpg

I perfer a panel filter. Imo an i/k is a waste of time unless you use a massive air feed from the front of the car. Plus an I/k is a mod and a panel filter is just a better quality item. Like using better tyres or oil. Plus one is £40 and the other is over £200 + whatever they add to youre...

Its a good idea though. Doesnt the computer complain big time if its done wrong?

JONGSR4 had a blat with a modded mk1 in the Lancer Evo 2 and although the Vee lost it put up more of a fight than a 172 Cup (which he now has)would. Remember the Cup was only slighty quicker around one tight circuit than the mk1 V6. Cant imagine youd stand as much chance against a mk2 though.:)

America owns the 1/4 mile!

My mate has the same Audi but its a 1.9TDi 130 with the RS4 style wheels. Same colour though. Is yours the facelift model with the new dash? My dad also has an A3 1.8T with the tiptronic box. Funny that the 1.6 and the Diesel dont have front fogs but the 1.8T does.

Well, beckhams M3 sold for miles over the cars list price.
