Good news fella!

Any feedback on my request? Or will I be catered for by the shop? ;)

You use a sponge?! Poor car :(

Paint the bonnet red and the alloys white and it will be gorgeous! S1 Rallye is one my all time favourite hatches!

Looks lovely! I loved the old Mini I had a go in, though I still claim his steering wheel was too small. Always wanted one, hopefully get chance to own one oneday.

Good luck for tomorrow fella!

Omex built Sean's and blew up 2 if not 3 engines. no one else has publically built one yet.

-shrug- never used them, they were recommended on fiat forums.

Scoff runs a VAG gearbox on his 500+bhp 172 engined Renault5, so that could be worth a look. Also worth speaking to Fred as he was doing this at one point.

Speak to Fred@BTM he can sort you out with this. Obviously it will need to be lowered a lot to...

300bhp clio would be immense, I just dont think the full meggy front end sounds like a sensible way to go. Sure use the engine, but not the suspension, and probably not the gearbox either.

Anything can be done with enough money, your idea would need lots of it. IMO better off spending it on something else. Supercharge + coilovers for example

Sounds good.

Celtic Tuning or Angel Tuning both come to you to do it, should be reet. Will come back out and put map back on if dealer wipes it aswell, and will remove it for you etc etc as much as needed.

Has the Trophy got the 197 style RenaultSport Badge aswell?

Your parents insurers should therefore pay for the hire car, other side has no obligation to pay for it, regardless of what options your parents took on their insurance. Basically they have written to your parents as the claim remains unsettled, so they have to update them, but it doesnt...

You always map a chip, you just wouldnt normally refer to it like he ahs in the advert.

and?? Chipping a car is a term used to refer to adding a piggy back ECU OR replacing part of the original ECU with a new 'chip', hence chipping. Remapping is altering the map on the car, so it quite possibly has had both. Oh and boost valve is more than likely an FSE Power Boost Valve...

I really like it tbh...

Go down to your nearest station and ask for advice imo.

WTF has your "redline" got to do with it? I presume he meant rev limiter. Also how does he then get to 4k?!?!

What you need to do is find out where he got the 82db figure from, is that stationary or drive by, and at what engine speed? Basically if your V5 doesnt state any of the above, then they have to compare it to a standard vehicle in good coniditon for the age, in other words, they wont be able...

Here:

There is no grey area. Legally it cannot be louder than standard, however only in the last few years have manufacturers had to decalre on the V5 the standard volume of the exhaust, so an older car, its almost impossible to prove. EDIT: Figures on V5 for 197

£40 will get you onyx that would be a nice place to start, 476 is also fine for black if you want to spend under £20 on a wax.

The only mk2 ph1 other than the 172 that came in 16v was the RSi iirc

I'd take an Edition30 Golf, but I'm fussy about my Trophy, I only want number 433.

Re: Taking a clio of the road?? oh and remember to start it occasionally.

Re: Taking a clio of the road?? For the lack of effort and cost, I'd bung it on axle stands.
