Id f***ing complain! Theyre bad enough.

Er.....hello? Rev limiter. Simple as.

I think its a total p take that if you go to court the fine goes up. Why for fs sakes? Are you not allowed to plead innocence. Yes, in an ideal world if you are innocent then you will be aquitted and not receive a fine but you end up getting some k**b judge who will do you over without using...

Id be very very surprised if the bonnet was different. The engines are the same size externally arent they? Just an overbored 1.8 arent they?

I should also say, I absolutely loved my RT and hated parting with it. In some ways I prefer it to the VTS (things like not being able to have rear screen demister on unless engine is running, in the VTS; small things basically) but in terms of sheer speed, the VTS is in a totally different...

I had an RT and got skinned by Ben (red16) and I was alone, he was 2up. Truth is you drive a slow car in the RT and think its fast. Everyone is like that until they get a fast car as they have nothing really top compare it to. Comparing one car against another on the road isnt very scientific...

Id stick with the RT, though I think you would notice a fair bit difference especially on the move. I would get a valver though, think about getting on tpft.

Not always that thats at fault. My old RT had a rusty plug connector. If you take off the wipers and the cowling, you get access to the wiper motor and the heater fan. You can also see the resistor. Theres a big plug that connects it all (from memory I think thats right). The pins inside the...

Nice RT Carl! Simple and subtle mods. Why cant more people be like that? Heres my old RT (looks a bit low at the back due to parking the way I did) http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1105801851__Image43.jpg Welcome by the way mate. The old style Clios, the 16v was the...

Some say its for Refill but I personally think Reserve.

Do they still do 10% off (you get it recredited later) if you mention cliosport.net?

Truth is, theres probably loads of drivers driving around with undeclared mods. I saw a bog standard Rover 25 (not lowered and with steel wheels and wheel trims) yesterday with Joe Average driving but it had Lexus Rear lights (!). Ill bet he hadnt declared them or even knows he is supposed to...

It wont work by the way with the already had 16s malarky. A car could have 17 inch wheels as standard and if you fit 15 inch alloys your policy will go up as they are then classed as non-standard alloys.

Thats good advice Maxim! :confused: Why are people so naive to think they can modify their cars and think its not gonna screw them on the insurance (especially when they are so young)? Youre better off putting it back the way it was. Sell the wheels or keep them until you can afford it...

My Saxo gauge is always getting stuck. Nearly ran out of fuel a few times. (disconnecting the battery always releases it and it works again fine for a while - common fault)

Yep, add a female middle aged second driver (ie your mam possibly) who has no convictions or accidents. Knocks it down a fair whack with elephant.co.uk

Sounds like a bargain for a N reg. They tend to go for almost double that. Welcome mate. Get some pics up!

Best to tell them accurate. That said, when I had an accident last year, I was 4k over and the inspector came out to check the car but either never noticed or did but didnt say anything. I was worried hed notice. This year Ive said 15k. Not worth not getting a pay out for the sake of about...

My VTS is very quick, handles great and has been very reliable. In fact I love it. I honestly couldnt give a flying f about the image. Why should you? http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1095623672__Pic011i.jpg

Both the Clio and Saxo have their pros and cons and attract all manner of people from all walks of life. The only reasons theres loads of young uns driving Saxos is because of the insurance thing and the fact that the cars are fairly cheap.

This is a ridiculous thread. Its like, ok the other thread, we couldnt win the argument convincingly that 172s would destroy a VTS. I admit, the 172 is a bit quicker. However, when the VTS was first made, its not like Citroen had a fast Renault to compete with. They just made a fast litle...

Most of you have missed the point on how the vts vs 172 debate in this thread has started: Clarkie172 now owns Deans old mk1 172. Dean was posting under Clarkies id to say Saxos are better (tongue in cheek) as Dean now owns a VTS. He was just pulling yer plonkers but BANG, one word of a...

That 16v is absolutely stunning. I love a standard ph2 16v, but in red that is so nice. Hope you get what its worth. Id love it.

flog it and fund a private plate?

I like the simple Renault.... Clio badges. No give away to its hidden talents. Never been a fan of smoothing. Maxim, every time I see your reg it just says Reebok to me. Ever thought the same?

Well, with a fast car you tend to drive it quick and brake later. My abs on my vts isnt working at the moment and even though Ive driven more cautiously, theres been times where I can feel the car skidding slightly under braking and it generally feels more unstable. That said, I was used to...

Nice car. Pretty rare RSis really, Id even go as far to say rarer than 16vs. You do see 16vs from time to time but I rarely see an RSi. That said, they do look a bit like RTs so it could just be that you dont notice them.

Wonder Wheels is ace but a little strong. Water it down a bit.

£93 for battery and fitting is ridiculous. £50 is more reasonable.

Dont worry about badges, people who need to know usually do know, and those who dont well its better that way as you surprise them. I always liked the fact that the fast Clio was called the 16v as apposed to Gti or Sri etc. Far more subtle.
