    Poll : Darker Or Lighter Wheels

    Im definitely swayed towards bright silver. Is it possible to get them that bright though? I dont want to shell out a few hundred quid to get them ever so slightly brighter!

    Poll : Darker Or Lighter Wheels

    Spanner in the works^^ looks good. I prefer the bright silver wheels tbh, but I cant help thinking the anthracite finish would be better due to it being a refurb. How bright do refurbed silver wheels turn out??

    Poll : Darker Or Lighter Wheels

    Yes mate 16s, they came off a Cup so have the different offset to give a wider track. Although I cant say Ive noticed. I think Id need to upgrade the suspension to get any real benefit. My original though was to get them done a brighter silver, as they have previously been refurbed in a...

    Poll : Darker Or Lighter Wheels

    Im thinking of getting my wheels refurbed. But I cant make my mind up if I want a really bright silver (saw Gaz whatsanames on here today, looked lovely) or whether I should go for anthracite.. Ive had a quick PS at how some Anthracite ones might look, but I struggled with making the wheels look...

    brake question 172

    You might find that your brake fluid is slightly low. Does it happen when you go round a bend or just after?

    Who Owns a Mk1 172

    If yours is, I guess they all must be. Exactly. because the gears are longer. Its better for cruising, but worse for acceleration. Oh and back on topic, wasnt there a thread a while ago that listed numbers of Clios taxed in a particular year? Not exact, but may give you a clue as to how many...

    Who Owns a Mk1 172

    Youve answered your own question. I said when we hit fifth. Not when were at the top of fith @ max revs. The longer gear may have a slightly higher top speed, but the shorter Mk2 fifth is geared for better acceleration. All of the gear ratios were changed to give better acceleration. Hence...

    difference between 172 and 172 cup

    Cup has thinner windscreen, less soundproofing, no engine cover, no boot net, cheap floor mats, lower spec CD player and speakers, no traction control, no cruise control..... er thats about all I can think of that hasnt already been mentioned. It has stiffer springs and dampers, is lower (about...

    Who Owns a Mk1 172

    There are five variants of Gris Iceburg and the Mk1 Iceburg is markedly different to the Mk2 colour. To those in the know anyway. Back on topic, yes I have OWn3d several. Usually when we hit fifth....;)

    Explanation needed

    Certainly in terms of power delivery/torque it looks just fine to me.

    whats the actual HP of a 182

    I reckon... PS is Pferde Starke iirc, a german equivalent of BHP PS = 75 kg-m (542.5 ft-lb) per second of work, while 1 BHP = 550 ft-lb per second. So, 1 BHP = 1.013825 PS. Tbh, its so little they could be considered equivalent for the figures were talking about.

    Punto GT Vs 172/182

    An I quote; "Apparently a human ejaculation travels at 120 MPH and accelerates down your bellend faster than a 303 bullet leaves a lee enfield rifle. Now that may be true, but doesnt mean i want to drive around town in a lump of jizzum. These people that will drive anything as long as its...

    Mark 2 172 interior in a Cup

    How much more do the 172 seats weigh over the Cup ones..? Cant be much in it.

    Mark 2 172 interior in a Cup

    Do it. But only if theyre at a decent price. They look 100% better, but are essentially the same seats with different covers. I think If I had a cup, id get a 172 rear bench and some leather/suede buckets for the front. How you getting on with the maxogen btw?

    ANybody seriously regret not having

    I was loving my CC today. A friend of mine said he wouldnt pay for it on his CTR as he couldnt justify it for the few hot days we have here. I saw him today and he said " I should have got it, it would have paid for itself this weekend alone". He has a black CTR..... it was that hot inside Im...

    lol... so it must be true because a few Northern monkees have said so. A far more valued opinion than a team consisting of motoring journalists and ex racing car drivers. Eh, sunshine?;)
