WTF is that mkII v6 real ? the paint is awesome but most of all i hope that not a mkii kit other wise my bank is gonna be empty and the 172 is gonna look big.
sorry but the MKII gets loads of looks especially with some lowering and aftermarket wheels. its a really beefy looking car the MKII nice wide arches and strong blue xenon lights. a clean looking car still after all this time. the MKI doesnt attract anywhere near the same kudos im afraid, no...
TBH its a very imature and mean thing to do but then again drink usually makes people insensetive and aggressive. i would never do it but there is such a disrespect for modded cars which i can fully understand.. as they are loud and offensive to the eye..
i.e all the modded cars on cliosport...
the 172 is twitchy. try it on super firm konis if your brave over rough roads and hang on to the steering wheel tight. its all part of the fun, but if you tire of it then maybe its time for a new car with more cushond suspension.
i think the point is which some people refuse to accept is that clio or a pug of tiny cost and size can keep their self respect against exotic machinery if driven well. ok its silly to say there without fault.. but joe public think that anything with a.) a turbo b.) 4wd anc c.) a fekin huge...
lol. so why own a 30k sport cars then ? cant be taking it easy because of conditions its a 4wd car with clever diffs on each axel. the pug is just a fwd shopping cart. the fact that someone brought up modifying well koni adjustables are £350 back then probably cheaper if you take out tax and...
haha ^^^ 2 true. my GFs best mates husband is an Engineer for Subaru WRC Rally Team he is always travelling the world and i met up with him for the first time recently he said to me that there isnt any resemblance apart from the styling to a road going scoob and he meant any.
Evo Gone this is where i got mine from and its the same page aswell so same kit as mine... dunno if its worth investigating the coilover koni kits or other kits on this website as they seem to have good prices. its just i couldnt stretch to coilovers or i probably would have. still im happy with...
yea i got rubber top mounts + the shocks are shortened on mine i belive. im @ work at the mo but at some point either today or tommorow il get you the link and point out the items.. maybe you could ask for the red springs specifically when ordering.
sorry for delay the older side shots were at night or the car was dirty.. so here is a cleaned pic of my 172 on Koni Adjustables (shortend shocks) + supplied 30mm springs.

its got two new toyo proxes TS-1s on the front...
HellFires VRS is actually slightly quicker to 100 than my 172MKII (i have a few basic mods i.e lighter wheels + panel filter) above that we havent really ventured.
but one thing is true, its topend speed is actually higher than the 137 the 172 does. its read 150mph now. but speedo error maybe...
not many people like this sort of stuff. if its art your after go paint a picture or spray paint a wall dont take out your urban stussy crap hardcore techno bonkers slipmat nursery rhymes childish nonsense on the poor clio.. that is a hideous wreck IMO i actually spoke to someone the other day...
true. but nearly impossible. 20mph feels like i mite aswel get out and walk.. funny that. because thats exaclty what this government wants. and will go to extreme lenghts to get it.
surley someone could invent a simple cheap device that clips on the lense of a speed camera and moves something...
so many factors involved. i have kept with a 225 scoob estate to !20mph from 30mph in my 172 (lighter wheels, sounddedening gone + panel filter) so really quite a standard car. to be fair ive always thought my 172 was a fast one and there was nothing in it to !20 at which point i decided to...
^^^ agree with all comments.
listen, i lost 6k in 16months on a brand new 172MKII (bought for 12k) no one wants to buy them second hand unless they are a bargain.. try shifting it later on in the year and milege wont make difference. your 182 will be less than 8k when the new 2006 200hp...
haha.. so why own a 172 2.0ltr 172hp clio ! . its not even easy to drive with its over heavy low speed steering and no low down torque. feels like a 1.2 the wrong RPM. its only good for driving in the red on the limit IMO. moto cruising is not bad and quiet for a car of its type @ speed but...
sorry i havent cleaned it yet.. but i said id get some daylight shots of my 172 with the koni adjustables + supplied 30 mm springs
