No way would I even think of it if it was that much. For me it worked out at £1800 fully comp on a 182 worth 6K. Not bad considering when I first got insured on a polo it was £1300. That was in my mum's name too. The thing I can't work out is how adding my mum and dad to my insurance...

Agree with you 100%. How people can come on a forum and slate others for being on here. Some people may have sad lives!

Camber and tracking is around £50 - £60. Get both done at the same time. Tracking on it's own is around £18 where I live.

Around town probably not. I choose the 1.4 because it just pulls that little bit better on the motorway!

My back wiper just goes whenever it wants. When I want it to go, it doesn't. Wonder if i've got a faulty motherboard!

I've got a 1.4 16v. I think they are much quicker than the 1.2 16v. I have to admit I thought mine was fun but I did go from a 1.4 8v polo! Now the 100bhp is just boring! Only fun you get from a 1.4 is at 5000rpm in second.

I can't stand driving a standard 1.4 16v! I'll just renew on the 1.4 and ring up to see how much extra it will be. If I think it's too much then I won't do it. Do you think 182's will drop a lot in price over the next year?

Hello I'm looking to get a 182 cup this year but as i'm young insurance is high! Basically in July I will have held my license for 2 years and I'll be 19 so the premium drops quite a bit. Thing is when I insured last year with Admiral I did the 10 month bonus scheme. This means that my...

Cool. I think i've spoken to Dan a couple of times when the coils went.

Is that 50mph on the motorway?

Yup that's what I'm going to do tomorrow :)

Well I booked it in and forgot to ask, doh!. Just want to be prepared for when they tell me. I shall find out tomorrow. Anyone got an idea how much it is roughly. 4 year/36,000 service on a 1.4 ta

Yeah I know what you mean. Same applies to me. Thought it was a bit funny you only getting 33mpg. I forgot there has been cold weather :quiet:

Can either of you (if you work for crawley down) find out how much my service is going to cost? :approve:

I thought a 1.2 would get above 40, even if you drive them hard? Don't think I've gone below 34 before, driving hard included.

I'm not even sure if my bonnet catch has been done. It goes in for a service on the 14th, will they tell me if it needs doing or do I need to ask?

My clio is noisy on every road!

I get around 35 at the moment. Never really get anything more than 40 unless on motorway. Mines a Mk2 Ph3, 1.4 16v. There seems to be a big gap between 1.2 and 1.4 mpg's!

Indeed. Let me guess, Michael Mann?

That's basically where I live! I live down grangeway, which is off woodside cresent.

It's black. Got a cliosport sticker in the back window! Erm, depends where you are. If you know the Kings Head pub or Oakwood School then it's over that way Pretty much yeah. If you're coming from redhill towards Horley then there is a left turning that takes you there.

I'm in Smallfield! Although I've not got a sport, I've got a 1.4 :) Would be good to see some of your sports so a little meet is a must! And btw Smallfield is just down the road from Horley. Most of you that have been to Horley still probably wont of heard of it.

Do the Pi springs not give a harsh ride?

Basically not sure whether to lower (and do more mods) my clio. It's a Mk 2 Ph 2 05 plate. I'm only 18 and I was going to get a 182 but insurance is 4k+ ! Was thinking of just doing a few simple things like lower, 172 alloys and maybe an exhaust. Lowering is my priority and looking to drop...

How low is that though? How much were the springs? Also where can I get silver indicator bulbs from? Which ones are best?

How low and what's the ride like? Hard?

To be fair I was thinking just save my money and get a sport. Saying that though, by the time my insurance goes down it will be hard to find a low milage 172/182. I don't really like the new clios. My car is only on 25000 miles. It's a tough decision. Maybe my best bet is to save as much...

If I was to lower my car by 40mm, is it better to just change springs or get full suspension kit?

I'm right on the south border of surrey. Near Gatwick Airport.

pics. Needs a clean I know.
