Thats an awsome car mate. What sort of 0-100 would you expect out of this. I drove a ferrari 355 the other day on an experience day and that thing was rapid. Do you think this will be faster?

This is an awsome thread. Hopefully you'll get it on the road. I'd love to have fell in love with my 1st car this much. The love factor just isnt there with my car tbh.

why's that?

Personally my sheds on a comcrete slab but w.e makes you happy ;) Who called your car a shed? Its extremely well modififed and looks great.

lol our cat was on my dads car sliding down the windscreen for fun the ohter week. Its the 1st time he's done it. havnt caught him on my car, he'd be getting a swift kick if i did.

lmao @ virgin comment

It will be fine mate. Don't worry about it atleast you can look after this engine. Basically a brand new car now.

They're bloody useless anrt they mate. You have to slowly balance a full can of pop into it, so basically unless its 1/3rd empty your likely to spill it. Maccies cups are a no go. Biggest problem i have with my clio tbh, though than that its reasonably well designed.

No because it would be stupid. Where excatly is that turn? i'll just glance to my garmin, oh s**t its in the sunvisor ,looks up, ahh yes there it is. Look down oh s**t -bang. Best place for a satnav is on the screen. Enables you to glance at your route without taking your eyes of the road.

I was going to make a comment like that. Something along the lines of i'll race you to birmingham but the winner must have 40mpg + on the trip computer ;)

+1 Its making me want a mini cooper s aswell, the wine is awsome. Its realy addictive. I'm definately going to own a supercharged car at some point. Its a dying thing aswell now turbo's make cars so efficient and they are getting them lag free etc.

My dream cars a clio 1*2 how sads that. I'm so hung up on getting on now i'd even buy one if i won £6000000 on the lottery. And if that happens the 1.2 is also getting supercharged because i'd be rich and bored.

Class mate looking forward to seeing it.

I would mate. I'd have gone for a dci 80 insted of my 1.2 for my first car. But they're rare and expensive so 1.2 was the better option at the time. When i change my car, and actually have scope to choose a car rather than what i can afford insurance on it won't be a diesel though.

Have to have a distinctive enough car though. I always spot christopher and foxy because they're cars are distinctive. I spotted a 172 cup on my way to work, i didnt put a spotted thing up though because it could have been anyone. People would be here all day if they posted every RS clio they...

No disrespect mate but if you have to scrape a tenner for a years club membership then is a 172 cup the right car for you? £260 TAX, Expensive cambelt changes, insurance, they're not too bad on petrol, services, tyres etc. I do 100% recommend joining properly i have learnt loads of stuff of...

Looks class mate. Should have been an option imo.

Have you got the car yet mate? Where you not tempted by a TCE or 1.6. They are a realy nice car though, i test drove one and found it a marked improvment over my mk2 ph2, just not to the extent where i bought it.

6.5K not a lot imo.

I know the feeling i don't drive my car hard a lot but when the times right its good to put your foot down. All be it i don't move very quickly but thrashing any car is good fun. Unless its a deisel... 4k change ups ftl.

If you cliosport drivers think you have little feedback try driving a non sport. My 1.2 has no feedback what so ever, the first you know of understeer is feeling it start to slide, and i also know when its likely to understeer i.e. small roundabouts. No feedback = Dangerous to me. Although if...

What have you done to it to get the extra 15bhp?

No older than a 172 is now, only 2 years away max before i get a 1*2. If i get one next year i think it will be 172 if its the year after it will be a 182.

Ahh thats a good idea, i think i'll get that done if i get a 172. How much was it if you don't mind me asking?

Niiiiice! Lose the 172 alloys imo. Turini's or oz supertourizmo's imo or maybe pro race 1.2's

Will be worth it when its running mate. Just a ball ache to get running i supose.

Combined MPG figure is lower for the 197 than the Meggy 225 only by about 1mpg but still. And the 197 should be around 182 pace as its only 4bhp/ton less. Tbh a way of comparing a 197 to 182 is to compare the 182 to the 172. Same pace, different handling characteristics. Obvously the...

Mind you its a shared drive so my neighboor would probly run over my legs, he drives on his drive at about 30

I want a garage :( I'd have to lie on the floor in the rain to do this. Roll on summer.

Buy it!!! And do it now befoe its cleaned up so you get it cheaper ;) Would love a williams if theres any left in a few years.
