Take your car in to a dealer where you they have the car you want. Ask them about price and sort out a deal. At which point they will phone the finance company to get a settlement figure for your finance. If this is £5000 for example and they offer you £5500 for your car then you have £500...

I actually like the headrests up even when people are not in the car...... strange ! _KDF, you got the springs yet mate ?

I have just been looking on Autotrader to see the prices of 172s just to compare with the price I paid for my 172 a month ago. I noticed that there are mostly MKI 172s or high mileage MKII 172s around the price I paid for mine so I am starting to realise that I have got a bargain ! I paid...

I have found a mint Williams 1 with just 45000 miles on the clock for £4000, I am so tempted but working out how much it would cost me to run along with a 172, it would be VERY expensive. So tempted tho ! But then I have to think of twice as much tax, insurance, maintenance, petrol, etc. I...

I see ! It is cheaper for her to insure a Williams anyway.

A standard valver will kill a VTR anyway unless it is supercharged of course ! A VTR is only just under 10 secs 0-60 whereas a Clio 16v is around 7.7 secs 0-60 as standard ?

I think he means a phase II valver ?

....to me ? The main thing I wanted to know was how you adjust the ride height and how easy it is to do ? Is the handling MUCH better with COs than say a Cup suspension ? Is the ride height harsh or not ? Cheers for the dummies guide to coilovers ! Dai :oops:

The same as andydean. I bought a set of Eibach Pros from Demon Tweeks last week for £99 inc VAT. ChavyBoy fitted them for me on the weekend and as said above, the drop is not that noticeable but the handling is so much better now and I imagine it would be even better without the ContiSports on...

Cheers Roamer, I am still trying to figure out the best way to do this is. I would love a Williams as a 2nd car and having the missus driving it would be ideal but then she does have a habit of hitting things every now and again ! So I am swaying away from that idea more and more ! Can you...

Would you stay away from looking at damaged Clios like the one above ?

I found this item, http://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk/products/product.asp?deptid=96&id=227http://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk/products/product.asp?deptid=96&id=227. But that is a soft pedal conversion for an uprated clutch, not sure if it works with the standard clutch. Give them a ring...

I am sure I heard you can get them from BB Tuning, try them at http://www.bbperformancetuning.co.ukhttp://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk. When I test drove a 16v before buying the 172 I hated the clutch so I would have to get one of these. You need huge calves to change gear ! LOL !

You can have a Group N 172 MKI for 19500 € : http://www.rallycarsforsale.net/photos/p5490n1.jpg Or a nice Williams N3 for 11000 € : http://www.rallycarsforsale.net/photos/p5503n1.jpg

Someone said they cost like 130000 € ! http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=13&TopicID=74421&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=13&TopicID=74421&PagePosition=1 http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1079040957__clioar.jpg...

I was thinking of something like this : http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1079040314__ATAd.jpg Would the description put you off ? I dont know anything more about the car yet but it looks in good condition apart from the slight damage and it is driveable ? Worth a look ?

Edde, thanks for clearing that up man, thought it was a little too easy then. I know the Williams is a group 17 on paper but if some companies are classing it as a a group 18 then it may be a little bit too much. Been getting quotes for myself which are very similar to what I have been...

Sooty, that is a very good suggestion, why didnt I think of that !?!?!?! I am pretty sure my current insurance policy does NOT allow me to drive other cars TPF&T, I will have to check but I am 95% sure about this. I could always phone to ask how much it would cost as that seems a very viable...

A bunch of daffs could do it ! Tom, leeks arent flowers last time I looked ! Chavy, it is HER car, not mine ! I have driven it, beats my 172 all ends up as you would expect ! ;) I remember Jas has 2 Clios, that is ideal if the missus drives the track day car !

£14k is effing vertical with those miles. For a grand or so more you can get new ?

A 172 and a Williams, groups 16 and 17 resp. IIRC ? Wont be much in it really but then we do build up 2 NCBs like you said. She drives a 106 XND at the moment so there will be a little difference ! :o I need to go and buy her some flowers I think ! ;) :oops:

That is what I am trying to do mate, the only problem there is that she has 0 NCB at the moment so insuring a Williams maybe be expensive me thinks ! She has even offered to buy one if she gets a new job and then she can drive it, and then if she changes it then I will buy it off her, whatta...

I see Tom, sorry ! I edited my post, really not with it today ! :( Trying to get the missus to get a Williams, I even offered to pay for half of it !

That is what I have been looking at Pete, a 16v or Williams but preferably the latter.

I was told they wont fit on the 172/182s.

I was just interested to know if you personally owned more than 1 Clio ? If you do, how do you cope with insurance ? Do you insure it on a low mileage policy ? I would like to own a 172 and Williams one day but I was wondering how feasible it is ? I could afford the cost of the car but was...

Sell the Astra ! LOL ! ;)

Glad you got it sorted mate. Strange that Eibach said that the 01-22 were the right ones as their website clearly states that the 02-22 are designed for the 2.0 and 01-22 are designed for the lighter engined cars. Like Mike said, I am sure they will both be fine but I wanted to make sure I...
