Me too.... I think its time to bite the bullet. My only concerns are similar to yours.. do I really want another Clio.??!!

AAh cool. Should have looked there first really... Have to say that Mk1 172 looks stunning in red.....

Tomclio182 was selling his....

Exactly. I dont have a clue. Hence the confused symbol in my post due the fact I struggled to make any connection between the image of a 10 year old Clio and Ferrari!!!

There were two types of silver?? Oh and Rich, its popular not common!!! LOL!! Thats what I tell myself anyway!!

So a P reg Renault Clio extols the correct image?? If you want image, day to day driveability with the option of a bit of a blast at weekends, I would say get a Porsche 911.... just my 2p...

Oh god. Here we go. I have a solution to all the infighting.... ban all the Cup owners!!.. Hope they sort your car, illusion....

As you said, same spec apart from Cat 1 Alarm. Provided the car was imported from within the EU, you will get a full three year warranty. LeeM has more info on this, do a search.... Imports generally sell for less second hand, not sure why exactly (all the Renaultsport models are made in the...

Subaru STi Type RA Spec C. Might even be quicker than 0002..... FQ 330?? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?? Does it have to be new?? VX220 Turbo for weekends and a 350Z for the daily commute?? Theres too many to choose from... narrow it down a bit! Have to say its a nice position to be in!!

I would say 6.9 - 7.0 is about par for the course for a 172mk2.... I would be very surprised if mine wasnt capable of consistent sub-sevens... in the hands of someone who can actually launch the fecking thing anyway.....!!

930, Elephant, 1 NCB, 23, Staffs edit - 1 total loss claim on that aswell

No worries mate. Im pissed now, so I guess that makes us even!! Looks like Im with you on this one. If I wanted peoples opinions on a comparison ( or whatever) between the 182, 172 and Cup, I would post it on another forum becuase on here I know it will end up in mindless tit for tat bickering...

@ Jon1978.... Are you calling me stupid?!!? I didnt make one single reference to performance. In fact, I didnt mention anything about the cars themselves, merely the attitudes of the respective owners. Is it any real wonder that we have infighting when people are called "f**king stupid" for...

Your ego isnt too big??! Have you actually read through what you just wrote?!! LMFAO!!!

In excess of £1200. And thats being optimistic... loom alterations, plus they have a self levelling mechanism and require washer jets iirc.. Next best thing is to get some different blue lamps....

Was the point I was trying to make mate!! ^^ just not very well obviously!!

..... in case anybody was wondering the other 20% dont really give a t0ss!!......

I would say 30% Jealous 172 owners and 50% big headed Cup owners. I can see why people on here have become sensitive to the Cup vs 172 debate. There are a few 172 owners who are jealous and a few Cup owners who like thrusting it down thier throats!! Hence the constant bickering!! I wasnt on...

How accurate is that time though? If we go down that road we could be here all day!! I ran mine in in the same fashion as RichD, but I have no recorded proof of performance (accurate or otherwise!!) to say whether the method I used hindered the performance of my cars engine. Looking at Richs...

Ive driven one, several times. Took it for about a 18 mile round trip through twisty A roads in the wet on one occasion. Nearly went side-on into a van when overtaking it due to torque steer. Horrendous in the wet. Really hard to keep the thing going in a straight line, and for your average...

Hehe 6.3... thats f**kin ace.... Im gonna get one, sod the expense!! If they managed to do 6.3 with the traction control on, they know something I dont.... I dont think I could get below 10 in my 172 with the TC on!! LOL!!

Hard to tell from the dealer pic, but my first instinct was that they look like xenons!!

Aaahh another one sees the light!! Welcome Boss!!

Deffo not xenons going by the above pics..

Absolutely f**king shocking. Amatuers. Xenons will cost a fair amount to retro fit. Just a bit more than different lamps lol... serves em right, but a bit of a ball ache for you. Will be worth it though, xenons look fantastic. Good job you noticed...

That about sums it up for me too.. added to that a few rattles.. and a whistling noise at m/way speeds..

Yep your right mate. I apologise, I must read replies properly. Ill get me coat!!

Obviously not. But your post wasnt much more use than mine!! <edit> oops... I think I may have mis-read your first post... when you said " completley useless response", were you talking about my reply or yours??!

Yeah it was useless, but a free bump if nothing else. And, like you, Im in no position to offer any advice on CUP brakes!!

Ahh you mean brakes... I thought you were selling parts from a written off Cup!!!
