Which is unlikely tbh ;)

Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus Looks good as new.

Re: Opinions on 1.2 16v clio's The 172 exhaust won't fit on. There are plenty of aftermarket exhausts available for 1.2's though. Coilovers would firm up the ride significantly, I've never driven a coilovered 1.2 but believe they're much better than standard to drive.

Re: Opinions on 1.2 16v clio's Well to be fair it is a standard supermini with the lowest power engine in, soft suspension etc that is designed to be driven around town predominantly. If you want a more sporty drive then get a Renaultsport Clio, but they cost more. Unfortunately like most...

Re: Opinions on 1.2 16v clio's Well to be honest there isn't much to dislike about 1.2's, I still say dci's are better but the 1.2 Dynamique is a cheap to run car with a miles better spec than its competitors at the time. They have electric windows & mirrors, cd player, auto lights and wipers...

Re: Opinions on 1.2 16v clio's If I was you I'd look at a Clio DCi. They're like £20 to tax, will do a genuine 55mpg and are a lot easier to drive than the 1.2's because they have so much extra torque. If its long journeys your planning on doing then the benefits are even further enhanced...

There is a guy on here who made a 182 Rep out of a 5 door. Ended up getting the 182 conversion with ITB's and cams. Properly awesome car.

Yes, I had the normal cat back one with centre silencer and it was more boomy than my 182 by a long way which has a decatted scorpion. IMO there are better systems out there for the 172.

Really nice. I love BG 182's, hence I own one. Seeing yours has reminded me that I need a small aerial.

I'd avoid the ktec stealth tbh. As an ex-owner I'd say it was a poor system, wish I'd of reasearched better. The standard system is 2.25", I've noticed no difference when changing to 2.5" systems on either of my 1*2's except noise.

Great track toy. Enjoy it mate.

Really nice car mate. Best engine for the GT I think. I like the GT's, to be fair from my brief experience with them they're a great all rounder not very sporty but a perfect small GT.

£82 to keep an emissions light off. No chance. It costs more than the decat.

Really good improvement that mate. Good cars the dci's, lot of time for them.

If I was you I'd hold onto it a little longer. It took me a few months to gel with my MX5 then I grew to love it. Albeit I'm now back in a Clio which does say a lot.

Vauxhall Omega V6 Auto. Don't have any idea why I've just always fancied one. It's a proper waft mobile for well under a grand!

Everybody says panel filter but don't the standard paper filters actually flow air better? Albeit panel filters are reusable which is good.

In fact I wonder if they're even aware that they're making a system that doesn't fit. Surely they must have trial fitted them before making a batch up.

Fred put on facebook before that they tried to fit one and it doesn't fit on the car. They shouldn't be selling them really.

For a cheap 182 exhaust the single backbox Scorpion system (SRN019) is a good system. I really like mine, fits well, sounds good and it's silent on cruise control on the motorway.

Looks good. I went 3/4 with my front plate. It looks better but it is less hassle to have the standard plate on the off chance you get pulled for the 3/4 plate. Definite improvement over the original plate mind.

To be honest the figure that the RR says doesn't make your car any faster or slower. If the same car goes on one RR and makes 160bhp and then 5 mins later another and makes 190bhp its still going to be the same pace on the road.

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread +1, would like one to just do the normal day to day stuff and keep the 182 for fun. Such a complete car the A1, for a small car anyway. Good purchase Laura, I'm a fan.

I don't see the point in this either really its not really going to save much money after you account for the fact its worth at least £1k more than the 182 plus the price of the coilovers. Don't get me wrong I like the MK3's, its a nice car but just doesn't make financial sense to me. If you'd...

Never got over that 197 have you Neil. I remember you were in it on the first meet I ever went to.

Seems a bit strange that the best two colours, AG and SG are both discontinued. Guess people generally still go for mainstream colours.

Great car. Such good VFM these. Never heard a bad word said against them.

Actually it was £24 plus delivery so £25.50 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-172-182-Cat-Manifold-Kit-/220915220644?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item336f92c0a4#ht_616wt_1037

Avoid the NWP kits. I did a bit of research and have bought the genuine one. Was £27 off ebay.

Highroller. MPG is obviously a factor with any car you buy. Not many people would buy a car that does 10mpg for example. The reason I asked about MPG is because I know the 330i's do really good mpg for the size of car and engine.
