0-100 i take is 0-60 ove hear yes!? Surely the mk2 v6 is more than .5/8 of a second quicker than the RS?

Ha...Worked for me one xmas too in my 16v however i wasnt trying to get the back end out, it did and when i tried rectifying it i span twice, scary moment but it was late at night and i ended up right in the midlle of the dual i was going on to!!! Lucky boy that night. p.s c**k licker, why...

How many no claims will you have?? Points/accidents?? Where will the car be kept over night?? Used for commuting or just social?? I was 21 when i got mine, 2 year no claims, gargaged and paid £950 with Admiral last year with my dad as a named driver. Try Elephant/Admiral in your name with...

I think its priced at 10k due to the recaros and the low milage. Its not at a dealer so no extended warrenty or anything so im not sure id pay that for a run of the mill coloured one!!!

There beutays in the flesh, lots better than the Recaros your on about. Unless your buying them for the name the average Joe would take these evrytime!!! If your from South Essex you'll probs remember a shop in Benfleet called Evolution!? They were a dealer of Konigs and they are one of the...

^^^182 insurance wont be any different to 172 mate unless your buying the trophy which is a group higher. Will hardly make a difference though. You'll prob have to pay more for a 172 + seats as it will then be classed as a mod.

If you can pick up a second hand set then yes but why would you pay 6/7k for a cup and then pay a grand + for the seats. May aswell just hunt out a newer 182 cup with them for a similar amount of dosh!?

^^^Possibly direct at Recaro!? Best bet is to get in contact with Renault and see, i would've thought no as the 197 is out now and the recaros being used are different!!!

You wont get a 172 with them. Theres a few normal 182's out the with them but few and far between.

He reckons the only problem is, is waiting to get into the power band. You know anything about the handling??? On the day, the 5 had not only a large driver but large passenger ;) so that wouldve helped!!! I had a few blats in my standard (ish) hybrid with the particular 5 and i could...

Pal of mine has just got one and reckons its pretty nippy. Its a 1.6 vtec and standard apart from decat, filter and exhaust. Its apparently running 170ish hp and weighs a little over a ton. He's also got an R5 running 160ish hp which he believes is better both in a straighline and lots in the...

You 100% sure on that one?? Sure i read on RenaultSport that they were an option at additional cost!!!

I actually thought the opposite!!! Lol Looks nice all the same, you got the recaro's in there too mate??

Yeah remember this puppy. Was just getting finished when i joined up iirc. Love it!!!

^^I reckon he loves his 182 so why would he want to buy a an Fiesta ST lookalikey!? ;) Hardly jealousy!!! :rasp:

He's dreaming big style. I sold my 1995, hybrid, black totally mint with loads of docs, none chaved ;) for not a whole lot more than he's asking a year or so ago. Someone would be mad to buy that at that price.

Why both?? Any pics?? Theres not exactly much difference between them is there and imo you cant really comment until you have driven a sport with cup suspension and a 197?? Dont tell me you've done both of them too!? :rolleyes:

What you bangin on about there?? Lol Good shout!!! Your about three days too late on this one Dickie boy. We have already had the same thread earlier this week so you could've waited til at least next week. btw you got your 197 on order mate?? ..he he he

As Rich said i doubt you could go wrong for that mate unless its a total wrongun which will prove to be a money pit in the near future. Id pay it a little visit as thats the only way you'll be able to tell if its right.

Out of interest how much was you thinking mate or how much are they asking!?

^^^Lol, easy mate.....The story just seemed a little overdone thats all. :D Iv had blats from low to high speed with one and although i pulled it was nothing major so thats why it was hard to believe the story on yours against a heavily modded one. Maybe mid speed against mid speed which...

Depends on what you can make out of the actual car when you pay it a visit. If its totally imacculate both mechanically and cosmetically, drives well, lots of documentation etc i think the seller could ask anything upto a k and half to the right buyer. If its not immaculate then it'll...

^^^Id happily take on a Liquid R27 over my 182, iv been open in saying that a few time just not a boggo coloured one but that was the same with the 182 really.

^^^Lol im suprised it wasnt locked two days ago!!!

^^^No s**t mate...I was lead to believe the best car ever with 4 wheels bolted to it was the Williams with the '182' Trophy coming a close second!? ;)

I reckon a few thou at best too and even then its only going to appeal to a very limited amount of people. Best to just advertise it on here, rtoc, pistonheads and the like and see.

s**t i know my stuff. Did he drop a cog when you'd gone past him and then proceed to ruin you like he said!? Funny how some people add bits on.......I mean tb's and standard 182 giving a caining to another hot hatch with tb's!? Lol No s**t Roystan although i still think your lying!!! ;)

Sebs just fighting his own corner as theres no real quantity of 197 owners on here nor many that wish to convert. Seems like someone could be trying to justify the purchase of the new car to me without much luck!!! ;) And Royston.....Well he's just bitter cause his 182 is a few year old now...

What you getting mate or are you asking so you know what to expect?? I thought most were around the same times as a standard williams!? 15.2 ish!?

Lol......You f!?ker!!! :D
