Brilliant upgrade. Quite possibly the worst time to upgrade to a car thats a lot more powerful with no abs but as long as your careful jumping in at the deepend will do you no harm. Once it has its splitter back on it will be perfect. Cups are the best looking standard 1*2 imo. Any plans...

Nightmare. It worries me leaving my car on the road where people could slide into it. Hope you get it sorted mate. Hopefully even catch the culprit.

Can't fault them myself. They're very knowledgeable and helpful as far as i'm concerned. I like the fact they know about cars too, what car are you after cover of sir? Clio 172. What year? 2000. Job done. None of the make, model, engine size, fuel, transmission..... and also after giving...

I'm working :dapprove:

I'd get a little bit of money off. Its missing its splitter so theres £100 straight away. If it was priced at £7K, and had its splitter, i'd probably go for it taking into account it has a brand new exhaust on it worth £300+ and a panel filter £40.

182 will be more enjoyable to drive. However the IC TDI will give a lot more comfort and practicallity. The 182's have a fair few toys though and cruise control is a nice feature to have on a long journey. The Cupra will be cheaper to run though, especially fuel and tax.

That video puts me off the ring though. You come so close to other cars etc. People don't drive anywhere near as sensibly as on a normal trackday.

Slightly overcooked it there mate. Twitchy arse there boh on the corner and when he was giving you a telling off.

Stunning car mate. Realy nice. Look after it.

Real nice cars. Minters. Lupo's awesome.

Feel sorry for the person who buys it second hand. However you pay for what you get. If you buy a brand new car its your choice how you drive it. You don't worry about the next owner. Most people who no nothing about cars rag their cars from cold because they think its fine to do so. When I...

To keep up with 28-bhp and 320ish lbft it will take more than getting used to. Corners are you friend though, mind you naiths a good driver so it would be iteresting.

The 1.2 looked awesome. Love the 172 too, I just hate ph2 172 wheels, looks like a dynamique.

Looks like another good NW meet. Shame I couldn't make it. Nice snaps as always. Riads a master with that D40 now.

I agree with you on 197 handing Naith. They're so much more planted than a 172. You only notice when following one and see its nice and flat through the corners and the 172's rolling a lot more. I've not driven one but i'm keen to after following Steve back from a NW meet, he literally owned...

PH2 172 (non cup) is the weakest imo. Loses the rawness, looks and herritage of the PH1 without the improvements of the 182.

Think i'm going to get a set of these all around in the spring. Ready for a 2010 of B-Road blasts.

Won't make this now. Working :dapprove:

In my opinion there is a huge difference in handling. My 172 handles very well, is very predictble and inspires confidence.

I went for the ph1 because its the one that started it all, and put quick Clio's at the forefront of the hot hatch market, the ph2 didn't do quite so well but the Cup's and 182 sorted that out. Realitically i'd say the Trophy is the best car though. The Vee's seem more like a seperate car to...

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner Looks superb mate. Love it.

Point taken. I'd just do it anyway. In the grand scheme of things £4k isnt a huge amount.

Another way to look at it is if you said you where upgrading to a 197 at a cost of an extra 4-5K then people would say nice car, good choice.. etc. IMO opinion a SC 182 is a far superior car to a 197. The 182's are still relitavely new and have a good interior etc so its not like your just...

It should be in your documents as ste said above. Mine was on the top of the PDI report for the car. Hard to believe the origional PDI report for the car hadn't been lost in 9 years.

I got some sportlines :approve:

Its a realy good step up mate. Looks good and your plans sound good too.

Well I had the same choice to make. I love the cups and the ph1's. However I chose the ph1 because I prefared the extra luxuries albeit there isnt many. I love the look of the ph1, I love the old school looks of them. Interior of the Cup, bar the seats, is far superior though. Also most...

You can get a lot of car for around 10K. I'd just go for what you feel you want to do. A SC 182 would be an awesome car to own.

It depends what your after. For an old rounder it would be 197 however for driving thrills it would be the Trophy. If you got the Trophy you would have a little bit left over for mods too. Get a supercharger for £4K ;)

Thats so awesome. I want a RR now!
