Flame red 172 with 'Girlie Girl Racer' written on both rear wings and windows in silver. Female driver.
Followed me from Great leighs back towards braintree and into the Notley Tesco's.
Sorry I just couldn't resist having a little play on the straight :o
On my way home last night passed a Ph2 172 in Flame Red? coming out of Braintree towards Bradwell on the A120. Had a twin exit aftermarket exhaust, other than that looked standard from what I saw. Got a wave as they went past
My 182 came with with cup suspension pack and I always considered it to be a really good set up, just sat a little high for my liking.
I fitted a set of Eibach Sportlines and the subtle drop is just right, but I'm really unimpressed with the new handling and ride! General driving it doesn't...
A few weeks back I was reading a thread where they had taken their car to Mark Fish in Harlow and he had modified the ends of the catalytic converter to reduce the restrictions and I can't find it.
I've been searching all morning through media, discussions and technical and can't find it. I...
Do all the clio Mk2 Ph2 models use the same seatbelts? other than the colour, I know some might not have the pre-tensioners built into the buckle bit.
My reason is I'm SOOOO bored of trying to keep the silver ones clean, and they're a pain in the arse to wash, and to top it all off they don't...
I've searched for threads, and read them, searched some more, and read them and I still don't know so...
I bought the solid top mounts 2nd hand off here so didn't come with any instructions. the parts I have:
- the main top mount with its lock ring
- the top nut
- a sleeve/ collar approx 10mm...
1) trophy **55 WHK in PC World carpark just after lunchtime, parked next to you.
Had a cliotrophy.net sticker in the rear window, was red, had grey Turini's and recaros ;)
2) Black Ph2 172 with K-Tec metal grille in the McDonalds on Cowdray Ave
3) Black 197 in the McDonalds on Cowdray Ave...
Saw this last night coming out of the W&G carpark and out of town towards the A12.
Was a Mk2 Ph2 1.2 in a translusant green, lexus lights, aftermarket alloys, big exhaust tail pipe and the tinyest 'Cliosport' sticker in the rear window I have ever seen, and a pirvate plate reading L77 APR
I'm thinking of lowering the 182 with cup suspension on Eibach sportlines, and was wondering if I ought to get a set of camber correcting bolts and get it all re-aligned. Or are they not really needed until dropped on coilovers?
Generally fitted them in the past to previous cars like my 5...
Parked in the Staples car park opposite the Riverside Centre Monday afternoon.
Reg started either M9 or N9, I can't remember which. Had a CS tax disc holder and sticker in the rear window
I've only ever used PE2's on the 182 and fancy trying something different so I can fully rate the Michelins especially as they're about £320 cash. I'm only managing to get 18k miles out of a full set of 4 swapping fronts with rears every couple of months, and I need to replace my 2nd set before...
I'm at Chelmsford uni every thursday at the River Mead campusso far I've seen a:
- trophy
- Racing Blue 182 with no stripes
- 05 Black gold 182 with cup packs
- Artic blue 182
Some of these must be on here. I haven't seen any CS stickers in windows but then I don't have one either.
Saturday evening about 6ish came off the A12 and into Hatfield Peveral, heading towrards Chelmsford direction. Was parked a little way down on the left. Racing Blue 182 with large white stickers down the sides saying CUP etc, a bit like those that came on the 197
Years ago, when cleaning the car I would occassionally polish the glass just to clean it properly. This was a long time before I found clay.
I'm now thinking of using SRP and EGP on the windscreen to help the water bead off when driving, a bit like the RainX stuff. plus I'm hoping that the...
Mk2 Ph1 Silver 172 parked along Bradford street in Braintree this morning with 'for sale' signs in the windows.
Looked fairly tidy as I drove past, couldn't see a CS sticker in the back though
Pulled onto a farm in Tiptree and saw a lovely Blue 16v clio, all the plastic trim and bumpstrips and bonnet vent painted black, Mk2 wheels in black with polished rim. looked very nice.
Left a flyer on the windscreen so hopefully they'll have a look on here
I've had a bit of a search and not really found answers, but I'm gonna be in need of another full set of tyres before christmas. So far I managed 18k miles on the first 4tyres, and I'm just breaking 18k miles on my second set of 4.
I've stuck with PE2's so far but am thinking of trying either...
I think I've finally seen your car for the first time on the way home from wotk last night. I normally turn off before then but I saw it in the distance so thought I'd have a look.
Think we need to arrange a mini meet, there seems plenty of us in and around Braintree now
I'm having a new bonnet fitted and sprayed this week, and have it blended into the wings etc, so I doubt it will all be put in the paint oven.
I've done a search and have read you should let the paint breath for a month or so, but how long should I leave it for? I wash my car with CarPlan...
Was in Tiptree this morning and saw a Petrol Blue 182 54 reg parked on a drive way.
Shame it was in the shade, would have looked lovely if the sun was shining on it
Thought it was my car (I'd just left it with the garage for some warranty work) going Northbound up the M11 Saturday around 6- Half past 6 but you had a little white sticker on the drivers side rear window.
Was maybe 10mins north of the A120/stansted roundabout
I saw you driving along Peartree Road/ Dugard Avenue about half 11 this morning, I was stuck behind a learner a few cars back
You then turned left at the end onto Straight road and sat in the traffic as I turned right
Was just pulling up to a house for work, and one of the curb stones wasn't straight and I caught the corner that was sticking out. To say I was a little p!ss*d is an understatement. I've been driving 8 years and it's the first time I've done it.
Luckily it's only caught one spoke of the...
I saw you on the A120 at Mcdonalds roundabout and followed you down to the Tesco roundabout where you pulled off back towards the town.
I did pull up along side you but don't know if you saw me through those tinted windows ;)
