I would'nt mind fitting the new 197 steering wheel in place of the old 182 steering wheel if it was possible. Then you have an airbag, cruise controls etc.. I think it would look better too.
Also look around for 2nd hand audio equipment rather then brand new. Prefebly off here ( you will be pretty sure its in perfect condition). I got all my audio equipment 2nd hand and got a good set up for half the price. Makes me sound like a cheap skate but the money I saved went towards my...
Don't bother with coilovers on a 1.2, go for springs instead. They will still lower it considerably and you will be left with even more money for other mods.
Mines not a cup, but I have no plans to get rid. I'v spent too much money on it and i've had it 2 years now from new so I think i'll be keeping it for a long time yet. Probably more likely to get a second car once the girlfriend can drive and mine can go on a diet. I can't strip it yet as I...
I told my new insurance company about my decat and they said they would not insure me with it on and to put my cat back on before the policy starts. I'd be more worried about not getting a pay out in a crash more then a roadside stop to be honest.

I went school in England and I went to high school. This SITE has been very helpful for me and many others. Maybe you should not have a smoke and come on the cliosport.net at the same time maybe ? PS its advice not advise and its piece not peice. Good luck in fixing your car btw!
I would'nt want to go the harnesses and bucket seat route. Not a fan for them in an everyday use car in a track only car yes. Could you imagine picking your bird up and she has to strap herself in to your seat before you go anywhere, with big massive wings coming out the side of the chair...
I cant answer your question what it is but iv had something similar where iv had the needle on half a tank a few times before and the petrol light come on. I carried on driving and the needle seem to be right but the light stayed on. Filled up once empty as usual and the light went out. Odd !!
While pretending to work today I started wondering if the new 197 steering wheel could be fitted into a 172 / 182 and be able to hook up the cruise control, air bag etc... Would anyone know? I quite like the look of the new wheel. Not so bus like.
Cheers

I'v just had green stuff pads fitted at gdi. I went for brembo discs and the braided hoses as well though so I could not really say if just changing to these pads on standard discs would be a massive improvement over standard. But I have so much more confidence in my brakes now which I have...
Iv never got paperwork for the warrantee work iv had done. Not really happy with that as in the past with vauxhall and Ford i'v always got a signed jobsheet and explained what it was etc etc.. With Renault I got a phone call from 'Suzie' on reception saying its fixed !!
LOL at this thread. Yep, I can confirm lowering your back seats will make your car go faster. Its to do with polyrado affect on the astrogenic atmospheric drag. Just ask the Corsa boys!! :)
I have a prospeed de-cat on my 182 and the light has stayed off for now. Its been a couple of months so I think i'v been lucky. I'm looking to get a sports cat soon and get rid of the de-cat though.
If the accident is too bad you wont be able to swap them if your car is inpounded by the police and your in hospital. Just declare all mods as your insurance is invalid otherwise. Theres nothing like piece of mind !!
But look at the brand new cost of both those cars. People might criticise the build qualilty (I myself don't mind it at all) but you are comparing cars that are totally different IMO. (price wise)
My Clio feels so cheap since driving my mates M3 ! well.. it is !!!
How can you decide on selling a car because of problems other people have had. I've had mine for 2 years now and apart from some real minor warantee (ok I cant spell LOL), mine has ran like a dream, its never let me down, never broke down and still makes me smile.
Every car model has its...
Personally I could'nt care less about a watch. Like Martin says theres a clock in your car / on your phone. Invest 2 grand into a house. If you want to do stuff to your car do a bit at a time and to a car you plan to keep for a while. I spent 2 grand out just like that on mine, Sort of regret...
Gavfre you need to get off that high horse of yours mate your making something out of nothing. You have not even backed up your comment with anything about his products. Why try and start something with alll the big man stuff. Mate its not high school FFS just chill. The thread starter even...
I dont see a problem with john posting a link. He has not given any advice and people who post here are interested in sites like Johns. He does not have to buy anything but its always good to browse
