ahhh 4 gears! Takes me back! Waste of time and money! Looked into doing it on my mk4 1.3 Escort which is about the cheapest car there is to work on. Just wasnt worth it. If you do a lot of motorway driving i see your point but if not then i really wouldnt bother. Escort still did 105 in 4th:o

Very funny!

Rhys, Think your MK1 would suit him. Looks pretty good

were not liars! Them Ferrari Enzos dont stand a chance!;)

Think he just wants something that doesnt need servicing every 500 yards;). I think he should get a MK1 172 mind you 10k (evo) + 3k (VTS) = 13k = black 182 with cup pack :D

Yeah that all they do anyway. Unless its a Renault they could sell

Welcome Mate! For you information lets just get one thing cleared up first here! CUPs are the fastest Clios ;)

Sorry Jon but I dont think any UK main dealer would touch an imported Mitz with a barge pole. I mean they aint too cool about imported 172s so wont chance does the it have? Even if they did theyd pay well under book I reckon! Worth a visit and maybe a 182 test drive though. Really want you to...

Get another loan from a bank (6.9%) for say 9k? Pay off the 1.2s 6k. Leaves you with 3k and your car 5.5k ish to buy a 172 for 8.5k. Second hand with highish miles im affard. Talking lots of money either way including insurance. Unless you get a mk1 172 for 7k to save money.

Not fitting the CAT1 alarm are they? ;)

It would be better once you sell it also.

Nice one mate. Fancy meeting up soon?

Left in a garage though not outside.

No Im sure you get the price down. £2k sounds a lot!

They crap! Get a VTS ;)

£11,995 for a new cup at Renault Croydon last october. Almost got a pre reg one in Beckenham for £11,400 but they sold it 5 minutes before I saw it. They offered me a pre reg 172 for £12,000 but it was silver. Wanted Red, Blue or Black.

I do feel changing from a 172 to cup isnt worth while. The 172 was the top of the range and is also the most expensive. Taking its RRP cost into account you would except a few little extras. Ok taking off the ABS was a total waste of time of everyday driving but some of you act like the CUP...

Would have done feck all for me on the 2 inches of ice

Thought the 2.0 megane only had 130bhp?

whole engine? Stick it in a 1.2 or something! Surprise Surprise Mr 3 Series!!;)

What was it Roamer? Warp 9?:) My VTR was only book of 119 (i think) but has only 120 on the clock so it stopped. Wasnt quite at full power either but I gave up because the speedo stopped.:oops:

That Nicole needs a dam good **** Best footballer with the best hot hatch!

Nah sorry mate dont do the North! Dont race shopping carts either;)

Bit more servicing (depending or course your driving amount) and more fuel (even if you keep the loud pedal up). 1.2 will run on a sniff of Aftersave compared to a 2.0 (round town anyway)

Could do but Id put it back to standard if you can. Unless you find a buyer that whats the mods. Try sticking it on Autotrader for 5.5

Put it up for 5495. assumming its a 52 reg

didnt think the phase 2 was out till late 2001 51 reg? Parkers say 4700 - 5000

a Dci with a chip is more appealing than a 1.2 to me.

Good luck. Thought about a MK1 172? Really nice car and you could save the extra for the insurance. IMO more focused than the MK2 but with more luxurys than a cup.
