Thats amazing. But shocking at the same time.

I'd only strip a dedicated track car personally. If your going to do it, then do it properly. All the tar etc out etc.

Probably why the 200 will be the last N/A RS Clio according to most sources.

I've seen a fair few. I supose hot cakes is objective, doesn't give a figure. It could be compared to their targets or somthing.

Looks good. You still loving the Ignis?

To be fair petrol used to be a lot cheaper. When petrol was low 80p's a litre about 18 months ago you'd only need 38ish mpg to get 100 miles to a tenner. That same 38mpg will now get you 72 miles. In reality at todays prices if you get a 172 to do 60 miles to a tenner your doing ok.

You car sounds amazing Chris. I'd run that exact setup if I had a 182.

It won't be a 172, as he said 1998 PH1. Maybe I should stop servicing mine, may become more reliable.

Looks like a great trip mate. The PH1's are great on fuel too.

That would only encourage them Alex because of the noise ;) In reply to the OP: I woudn't worry about it too much, the only thing that would bother me is them possibly bending it, ragging it from cold and being harsh on the box/clutch. Just tell them you don't want it absued basically, the...

Its a really nice car. Pulls very well too. Good buy mate.

Does look good that. Alhough I don't think mine will ever sit right. The PH1 bumper is just too short. Mines kind of a half stealth.

I'd definately have the RS over the S3. It has so much more road presence.

To be fair that isnt too bad for a V6 rep. Fair play to you. Welcome to CS btw. Looking forward to seeing more of the car.

Go for the PH1 airbox mate. JonF has just got one and he's made up with it. Its just generally a better product than the PH2 airbox, gives better throttle response and suposed to be a bit more power too albeit probably not noticable. Espace V6 airbox is almost the same too, suposed to be...

Looks like a good meet. Great location and top cars.

Thats epic. I'd kill to own that.

Sounds very good with the K&N that Dave. Nippy too. Whats it like day to day compared to your CTR? Presume the CTR's a fair bit quicker when going flat out.

Infinately better. God knows why Renault put slightly tarted up Dynamique wheels on the PH2 172's.

I wouldn't mind the dual optics off that. They're in mint condition. He should swap for free, as his cars a shitter and can't be made worse, but mine can be made a lot better with nice dual optics. Doing the world a favour imo.

Is there any proven gain using the espace v6 airbox over a ph1 172 airbox?

Modding is addictive. I want more mods for mine but I need to spend cash on consumables for it instead :(

Looks really good this. Love the old skool pugs.

Soft spot for these. Nearly bought one a while back. Pugsport, Newman cams, Map, Janspeed manifold, Raceland induction kit, 406 Brembo's and coilovers was the spec I was hoping to achieve.

Superb upgrade. Its mad how they have the same size engine though, 3.2 is huge in a Golf, albeit it isnt that powerful but it terms of capasity.

Certainly a quick car. Leagues ahead of a standard 1*2 that.

My ph1 will do mid 40's on the motorway driven sensibly. Not as bad as you would think. I'd rather have a 172 than dci. Can get a 172 a lot cheaper than a dci too. dci 100's don't go for less than £3500 for one in average condition.

Lol to be fair though Hutchie yours is an ITB'd and cammed engine producing 40bhp over a standard one. Suposed to be decent even as standard the 1.6's. Stong motor the K4M by all acounts. I considered one at 18 but decided to wait for the 172. The 1.6's usually have a good spece because...

Didn't realise you needed a heater for MOT.

I think you need Xenons Jon ;)
