Nice one asty. They are great, fun cars. Its chucking it down with rain here, and even in the wet it has amazing levels of grip. More than any other FWD hatch Ive driven. If its new, and its your first tank of fuel thats to be expected, mine was the same. By the 3rd tank it had sorted...

My car :D http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/?gallery=clio172http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/?gallery=clio172 The first one.

I think they look better against black than they do against Monaco Blue.

I expect its one of those things that looks easy, but due to the lack of space to work is probably a bit of a mare. Ill have a look see how I get on. Thanks.

Here you go. Thats the best I can do for now. You owe me;) http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1053006302__robfenn.jpg

Is the mount something I could do myself? I cant be bothered to book it in especially. Not until I hit about 4k miles and I need get the oil changed. To be honest under hard cornering to the right the knock is starting to get on my nerves. I was told the same when my temperature sensor...

Just look at the dark blue one I did and close squint :D

Ooo, its red........;) Only joking, very nice :) Only 625 miles to go and you can start giving it some stick.

I managed an indicated 140mph. Up to 135 it wasnt doing too badly, but the last 5mph were a real struggle. The car had only done a little over 1000 miles at the time so was probably a little on the tight side!!

Renault made you pay for a warrenty? You get 3 years now on all EU imports. Renault may make it a little harder than if it was a UK purchase, but its still available for free. Sorry to hear about that car. Ive read so many horror stories on here that if mine starts showing signs of becoming...

This got me thinking again, so I fired up Photoshop to see what my Monaco blue 172 would look like on Cup alloys. The car is Blockos I think, I just changed the colour to get an idea. They do look cool, but I actually prefer the original wheels on the dark blue as the Turinis look a little...

I like em, but have to admit I prefer the wheels on the Cup.

Mine does the same. It usually fails the first attempt then sorts itself out for the second. Mine also fails first time when its been warm in my garage over night.

Oops, I just noticed I put Sp40, it should be SP50. Insurance is a black art. My friend has an Impreza Turbo and is 28 years old. His renewal is around £750, but hes had quotes of up to £2k. The odd thing is that Im with Norwich Union, through the AA. He got a great quote from NU but not...

I couldnt get a test drive in a 172 let alone a V6. I could have shoved the cash in the dealers face and he still wouldnt have taken me seriously. :@ I almost put at deposite down on an RS. A local dealer has a 52 plate one in now. Its soooooo tempting.

:DCongratulations:D Only another 9k to go and I can apply for mine. Did you send copies of everything, or did you risk the originals like Scudetto?

I used to work with the guy who owns the 1000bhp Skyline which Clarkson bumped :) I never got to see his Skyline though. He always came down from Scotland on the train :cry: [Edit] Here he is with the car, Ex owner of DMA designs, creator of Lemmings and GTA, Dave "cant launch" Jones...

I had the famous seat rattle and temperature gauge done there a month ago. They were fine with me too, and the car will be going back for its service there. Im glad they have a Cup to play with, maybe they wont feel the need to thrash mine now next time its in. Im paranoid and always wait...

I wonder why they stuck with orange on the Cup? Who knows how Renault think. In fact who cares. They make cars that make people grin behind the wheel. :D I took some decent pictures of mine over the weekend. Just need to get my boss to bring back the cable for the camera tomorrow. Shame...

Its got orange side repeaters. Shouldnt they be clear? *ducks*

Very purty.

5.00pm!! Part timer, Im here until 5.30pm :o Ive just started the NAS doing a thorough check of its drives after a fault last week. Oh the excitement of it all.

But not for long. Youll soon be flying behind the wheel of your shiny new Clio :D

Welcome to the best place to waste a day at work :)

My boss was reading this thread the other day. He mentioned that when dance music was in its prime during the early 90s he was still into 80s music and considered an old fart. Now us lovers of dance are seen as the old fars :o Not that I care, I dont just listen to dance/trance, but its my...

As far as I know my postcode isnt bad, although it does seem to be getting worse around here :cry: WS11 I wonder if there is anyway of finding out? I called round for a lot of quotes. My main problem was that if you dont have personal car insurance for over 2 years you loose your NCB. Id...

Im forever reading on here how low some people pay for their insurance. I think mine is very high considering my circumstances. Any idea why mine is so dam high? 3 years ago I had a 306-GTi 6 which was worth more than my Clio and this cost me less to insure, plus I was 23 at the time. I...

Jonnyboy, mines an 03 import from Holland and has the shift light. Its really just there to suggest you shift before you hit the rev limit. Its not there to show optimal shift time. Plus its really out of your eyeline when driving, which would make it useless as an optimal shift light anyway.

Within the first two weeks of owning the car it went back for the following: External temperature sensor didnt work New runners for the passanger seat to fix the rattle. Other than various rattles, its been okay so far. Although I can help thinking I can hear a faint rattle from the...

Sorry to hear about the exhaust problems, but its to be expected judging by the number of other people who have had exhaust issues. Im running on borrowed time no doubt.:cry: Dont blame you for having a go. Good to hear it paid off. I would have done the same thing but hopefully wont need to.
