    car ordered!

    :D Ive started counting down the days now. I had tried to put it out of my mind. 23 days sounds a long time.

    Santa pod yesterday

    Gav, it was me that come over and said hello at the start of the day. Best I could manage was a 15.1 again. I gave up in the end as I was sick of sitting in the queue, so I went and watched a few runs then went home. One of the guys I was with filmed quite a lot of it. Ill put some of...

    Brake dust removal

    My next door neighbour used to work for a local chemical company and sold me two cans of this stuff. The one he used to sell is called Sheet Clean and is used on the sides of lorries. Amazing stuff, myself and my mate have been using it for a year. Its less acidic than other cleaners and has...

    worried already about faults...

    Thats it exactly. People only ever post about the bad. My 172 has been fault free for almost a year now, and has never had a major problem, and its not had an easy life!!!

    spray for piperx panel filter

    You spay it on the foam side of the filter, not the red meshed side. Just a fine coat once over is enough. You dont want it soaked in oil.

    WONT START

    Mine is the same with the warmer weather. It either starts first time and has an eratic idle, revving itself gently!!! or it starts second time and seems fine. It only seems to have these problems when its warm, its fine when its hot or cold. Welcome to Cliosport.

    182 Ordered (yes me too)

    Copy cat. ;) Nice one mate. Have they taken the 172 already? Im still using mine as they couldnt offer me anything while I await delivery. Off to Santa Pod tomorrow to make sure the F1s arent too new when they take it. ;) [Edited by Lee M on 22 May 2004 at 7:07pm]

    182 Roadtest

    Id say youll be impressed with it in most ways over the 306, except maybe the chassis. The GTi-6 is a hard act to follow in that department. I had a GTi-6 and still believe its one of the most fun cars Ive driven. Im looking forward to seeing the difference between my 172 and 182 with Cup...

    Noob here

    Welcome to Cliosport.:D Ive looked at getting a CTR twice, the first time I decided on the 172 and the second I ordered a 182. Theres something about these little French boxes that puts a smile on my face when I drive them. I cant argue with the comment about the GTi-6, I still miss my old...

    bhp from exhaust and filter

    I was going to get mine done at PE seeing as I had it checked on the RR there before I got a filter and cat back system. Im not going to have the car long enough now though. I am going to Santa Pod this weekend, so I guess Ill see if there are any real world gains.

    Clio Cups 4 sale

    I said a few weeks back that Renault had a load of them in storage and were letting them into the dealer network over the coming months. Renault Birmingham had 3 the other week, all pre reg 53 plates. They werent that cheap though. :o Thats less than I paid for my 182 ;)

    172 Philips Silver Vision bulbs

    You need to stand right next to the car looking down through the top of the lense to see the side repeators have orange bulbs.

    Id like to hear what other 182 owners with Cup options have to say on this one? How have they got on with insurance?

    The autochanger isnt standard kit on a 182 either, so maybe I should declare that, as surely thats ICE!!!!

    That was my argument too Jesterstear, but according to them, uprated suspension is a mod no matter how it was done or who by. Christ, buying expensive tyres is probably a mod these days.:@

    Would this also mean that you would have to declare an i.d. colour as that increases the cost of the car by over £1000?

    They sure have Dai. Suspension mods are frowned upon more so than exhausts and filters as they seem to think Ill want to drive like Im on a track all the time. Im really starting to think I should just forget my love of cars, as living in this sh*t hole of a country I get continually...

    Insurance not covering Options

    Right, Ive just got off the phone with Tesco and I am not a happy bunny. A standard 182 would be an additional £31.50 and my XS would be £350. With the Cup suspension package its an additional £184.25 with the XS @ £500 Appantly this is because its uprating the suspension.

    As far as Im concerned the 182 with Cup options isnt modified, its factory standard.
