I bet that next year in Le Mans that Dave will have had three more cars since the Golf and ended up in another BMW touring to carry a fridge to Le Mans. Enjoy the Gold though mate. Looking forward to seeing the write up.

My local is a Flaming grill and one of the barmaids who is like a size 6 at most managed to do it. Nobody knows how, she must have hollow legs. I couldn't do it that's for sure, I do see people regularly finish it though.

CAT C iirc? Bloody good looking cat c though ;)

I saw that as it happened when I was on my little Sunday morning walk when nobody else was up. He was just casually driving it to the pits, I was thinking if that was me I'd of stopped and ran very quickly.

I had fun ;)

I don't care what it looks like providing it weighs no more than the 200, and can be relatively easily tuned to about 240bhp. Combine this with handling comparable to a 200 and I'd put my name on the list today.

There are members on here that have 172's on 130+K miles on the original clutch. Clutch is not a common problem. A modest torque output and linear power delivery doesn't put much strain on it. Unless its been launched constantly all its life. There are a few really good buying guides on here...

Stand up periodically. Apparently I fell over a few times haha. The problem was worsened by the Fosters, stubbies, desperados and tequila I consumed too. That Vodka is power though. Wow.

Looks great that. I love a nice dci. Better than any other non 1*2 MK2 Clio imo.

Great Photo's Neil.

Just get a big cone filter. Will sound mint.

It will be a long 10 days. I had my 172 on my drive for a week before I could insure it. It was torture. Your going to enjoy it mate.

That supermarket was a joke. Nick wasn't in much of a better frame of mind than me. The situation was made worse by the fact I had ice melting in my bags.

I wish we'd have had more time to go over to see Failsport. I wanted to do it on Sunday but then things went tits up and we ended up leaving. I only got chance to speak to Dave, Mike and Ryan on the pistonheads thing on Friday.

Bloody hell I thought my MX5 was fucked. I'm sure with the right time, money and commitment it will be mint again. Look forward to seeing progress.

Wow no pictures of me passed out in that chair yet. Regardless, it wasn't my fault.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news As long as it handles and stops as well as the 200 and has a bit more straight line pace and economy what's not to like. I'm confident it will be a cracking car, they've yet to make a bad RS Clio.

Love it. Can't wait for Le Mans now. 48 hours until the Norfbest are on the boat. Failsport will already be there by then iirc?

Very crude way of estimating power. "Getting off the line" is more about grip and the cars ability to put its power down but most of all the driver. Regardless of power I'm sure drivability has increased a lot with the extra power.

If I did the miles to warrant a diesel I'd be happy with either an 80 or 100. I've got a lot of time for the dci Clio's, I think they're a great engine. Much better than any of the petrols, except the F4R of course. I definitely should have got one instead of my 1.2 as my first car. Even a 65...

Naith, that is mint.

This is mine with and without decat. Its the 182 system with one back box. With: Without: I love the system. It doesn't boom on the motorway even with the decat and sounds really nice. Reasonably loud too without being too much.

Those HID's are ridiculous. You need the projector lenses to make them work properly. Your just going to dazzle people and fail its first MOT. Cars great other than that.

I didn't use that bung thing that stops it going too far back with mine and it fit perfectly. There are that many wires behind there with the ipod lead, bluetooth microphone and connect 2 it just got in the way and stopped it going in far enough.

Mine does this sometimes too. I'm going to take it to BTM soon and get it checked out.

I've had a decat on mine for about 6 weeks. The light has come on. I love it though, I don't think I'd ever put the cat back in other than for MOT. I've got the Scorpion SRN019 system on mine and I love it. Its pretty loud under load but doesn't drone on the motorway even with the decat. Its a...

Think I'm going to get mine regassed. It works ok but it could be a lot colder. I love really good aircon. Unfortunately the aircon in Renaults is never any good. I've had three now and they've all been crap.

It all depends how old you are and where you live. I've been insured with flux for three years on a ph1 172, mx5 and now the 182. They've always been competitive right from having the 172 at 19.

Hero spec, I'd be devastated about the lack of cruise control though. Those seats though, wow. Golf R is certainly a car I'd consider in the future.

That looks absolutely brilliant. So clean. Love it.
