I'm only going on what I was told when I declared my mods to greenlight. They said a decat is illegal so they cant insure me with it fitted. Alloy wheels arn't illegal. Maybe certain insurance companys wont cover alloys but I was told a decat is illegal I know older cars dont have cats but I...

What if you have a crash? and you have a decat? I had to take mine off to validate my insurance otherwise greenlight would not cover me. Surely if I left it on and I had an accident they would'nt pay out as the car is not road legal as it would fail an emmissions test

IMO, is it worth getting a decat considering legality implications vs actual gains you can get from a decat especially on a 1.2 its not worth it! I'd rather be insured then have a extra 2 BHP (if that). But all in my opinion of course!

This is my favourite quote '(Like why you crawl flat across a frozen pond so as not to break the ice)'. - This is him explaining how laying his back seats down decreases the weight LOL

Yep, what a pisser!

Hopefully not. He got slated so badly for saying that i'm sure he's either realised the error of his ways or topped himself. One of the two!

apparently just laying the back seats down will improve the cars centre of gravity and over-all balance allowing faster and more controlled cornering.....

I want the steering wheel from the 197 in my 182. I'm hoping its possible to do it and still keep the cruise control.

That K&N will lose you power by sucking all the hot air in from the engine bay. Just get a replacement filter. Hit the search button there are loads and loads of threads on induction kits, which is probably why you did not get a response very quickly!! Paul.

Its not cheap. I managed to get 200 with GDI's Cam's package on my 182 (similar to what Yozzasport do and in price). But I still had a standard exhaust and just a panel filter. (I'm no expert but I have read that the 182 manifold is better then the 172's so you'll need one of these) If your...

Your like me, I only use my PC for the same things as you now. Used to play games and that but now I just want rid of my PC and get a laptop. I'd much rather the space in my spare room now. I can't afford a laptop and if I sold my PC i'd just get peanuts for it even though I built it to an...

Your not alone mate, I love my standard 182 ff cupped wheels. I would never spend £600 changing to turini's or whatever they cost these days

Optimax (or equivilent) from day 1 for me. I now only use Vpower. I have noticed a difference though since using Vpower, but maybe thats just me thinking its quicker.

my petrol light has come on with 3 quarters of the tank left still!! whats that all about !!

Sounds like your used to big confortable cruiser's! Everything a Clio's not !! Don't try and compare it to your past cars but think of it more as a raw drivers car that will challange your driving skills much more then your 328 ever did. But if your bag is hammering down on a long straight...

Nice one mate what car did you come from before?

I'v got about 16 K spread across 3 credit cards which are all on 0% interest and 3.5 k on 3.9% (for life). I move them around from card to card when the interest free term ends. But I have no car loan. If I lost my job I could clear the lot by selling the car and using my savings to clear the...

mine are already on! But they are also my summer, autumn and spring wheels!!

Not got a 172 but I would only sell my 182 for something bigger now. but i'm expecting to keep my 182 now for at least 3 - 4 more years.

04 182 FF 17800 noo way selling !

You'd get more looks driving that then a v6 lol !!

But you could just take the finance and pay it off straight away if you wanted. I done that when I got double glazing for the house. Cold seal would not give me the low price without taking there finance so I took the finance, phoned the company and paid it off within the month.

i'm sure once you add your options it will increase a fair amount !

Good you know it make sense!! Its money down the pan. I'm not trying to be a kill joy but soemtimes you do need to think a bit more about things sometimes. Not sure going down the 197 route is a great idea but its better then slapping it into an un-reliable modded up to the eye balls 106 !!

What do people think? Anybody used these people before? (BTW i'm not thinking of buying, I just saw it !!) This is only a couple of hundred more then I paid for my 182 new http://www.easidrive.com/user/detail.aspx?id=3493

I Don't understand peoples problem with the 182 wheel Me and my girl always enjoy a trip out in the 182 !! LOL

If I had a vee I would'nt even entertain a 'faster' 106 trying to race me. I'd just move over, smile to myself knowing i've got the better car and wave at him as he plants it into a wall because the cars come to a corner it can't go round. Sorry keep the vee or just sell it if you cant afford...

Have you lost it mate? sorry but would never ever ever sell a mk1 v6 and do up a 106. the vee IS ten million times better then the fastest 106 in the world. Car ownership, especially in the case of a Clio V6 is not all about how fast you can blat down a dual carriage way as there will always...

£1700 is a good price. Who's doing the work and what are you having done? if you don't mind me asking !! Paul.

My 182 made 201Bhp with cams, smt6, manifold match and a replacement panel filter. That was with just the standard exhaust too. Andy at GDI said he was pleased with the results as not many make 200 with just them mods. I was pleased too! :) That cost in the region of £2000.
