Part ex + cash + loan = megane

Not been in mine today, Im on holiday as well sacralege!

a mate of mine used to have one, my mk2 172 was faster but not by much. Were talking like a car length over about a 1/4 mile Id say. The 160 ZR and ZF trophys are the ones to watch out for. Know your enemy!

racing *cough cough* ;)

^^yeah thats what I thought, only the vans send nips cos they have the computers on board with the DVLA link. Normal coppers dont have that link, not even traffic cops, thats why they have to call your details though when you do get pulled

hang on if you saw a blue light and it was a cop car did they not stop you? Or were they stood there with a gun? As far as I know itthe "safety camera partnerships" that get you and then produce a NIP, a normal police patrol wont have the numberplate recognition system link. Maybe they were...

Quote: Originally posted by toonboy on 11 July 2005 mmm, seems you can get a trophy now for less than 12k, very suspicious pricing going on. Will they be 10k soon like 172s ended up being. course you can, run out models are always dodgey. Nobody wants to buy them when the new shape is...

heat transfer from the zorst, its gets fearsomley warm under the car, hence the pinging sounds when you get out (metal cooling down)

I rekon if the corsa VXR and punto are turbocharged renault have no option but to turbocharge the new clio. Fair enough it might have 200bhp with the new n/a lump but bang a chip on the corsa/punto your good for 215 or so

I think Vauxhall after flaggin for a while on the performance model front are really kicking everyones are at the moment. They have a really comprehensive range from the boy racers Corsa up to supercar chasers like the VX and Monaro. Vauxhall brand snobbery is well and truly a thing of the past IMO

just before this thread gets out of hand the VXR will be better in every way apart from purchase price. 240 bhp and 0-60 in 6.2 its a beast

If maxwell gets the boot Im not watching it any more, apparely he is favorite to go WFT!?!?!

is 192 the daily petrol bill? ;)

if you saw the sh*ttly little unit they operate out of in Leeds you wouldnt touch them. Always have some nasty looking cars in the car park too. I went in for a price on some wheels ages ago, they are pretty clueless unless you just want some neons or something

I would try and get some 172 cup wheels

2 stipes away from been a top motor ;)

Those wheels work ridiculously well, Im not really a fan of boy mods/stripes and all that gash but yeah they look superb fella

remarkably linear power on both those graphs..........

tourque is a more important thing to be looking at in the 172/182 I rekon

14.5 is what you would expect from a standard cup though maybe 14.5 to 14.7, I hope you do a 13.8 just to shut people up but I think you might be dissapointed. Only thing I would say is that Rolling Road owned by companies that do tuning products are always optimistic. Im looking into tuning...

no peak at 4k? thats odd thats all Im saying.

the new clio is bigger than the old one so it wont look small in the metal, I think it looks superb. Definately a good looking little hatch in a world of regulations making everything look like a C2. If they do a turbo version it will be bye bye megane I rekon lol Its Micra underpinnings are...

later this year youll prolly pick up a 6 month old 182 for about 10k ;)

If I had my clio time over again I would get a cup 172 no question. Its far better looking than a 182, the worst of the depreciation is out of the way, its more of a headturner too. But if you want the toys obviously thats not a cups game.

elephant are utter sh*te, just escaped from them back to direct line after a year of hassle every time you ring them up. Not a good insurance company for renault owners as they charge £25 every time you need a courtesy car covering. Also be aware that once they have got your money off you all...

Its a difficult copmparison really as the 182 and Mondeo are just so different. In terms of Driveway appeal I still think the mondeo would have it. When Im out n about Ill look twice at an ST220 as its a rarer sight, 182s are practically goverment issue round here tho. I think the 182 appeals to...

had exactly the same problem m8, I tried efverything on it, just keep up with the washing and give it a polish and eventually it wears away

250 BHP astra would murder a 182
