I had a 220 trophy as a daily driver when i was doing a bit of milage with work, it was night and day compared to the mk3 200 it replaced, nicer place to be, much faster, especially day to day, i actually thought it stopped better than the 200 with brembos too!, handled brilliant - overall it...

Should be able to get the rest of the bolt out quite easily from underneath with some grips and heat

Stunning, Takes me back so much to mine when i was 17!

do you know the Reg of 003? lol

As above mine goes through spells of months with nothing then suddenly 40 a day for a few weeks

shocks will be well past their service life at 100k, grams+ new gen shocks sounds like a good move, i run grams plus cup shocks on my 182 and really like the setup

I bought a cheap Halfords Essential 063 today for mine £54.99 or £38.21 with a trade card

Looking at pictures the K7M looks like the manual version was available with a Jb3 box, so if the auto uses the same bottom end which i assume they do, then i believe your current box would bolt to an F4R, the F4R and K7M have the same gearbox mounting pattern i believe?

I always stick to 195 on a 172, ive found on 205s they skip on full lock, minor but always annoyed me 😄

from memory 205/45/16 was the factory 182 size where the 172 definitely used 195/45/16 but possibly it was 195 on the 182 and 205 on the cup pack cars?! Michelin PS3 is my choice for a road car in that size

I wouldn't be worried by it, just make sure your happy with the condition as you would any car, My ph1 172 Exclusive disappeared for 8 years and only done 8 miles, and ive now had it tucked away for 3 years, its not unusual for hot hatches or older cars to get tucked away for a few years as they...

@aldo_87 yes!

Best sounding exhaust (for my old ears!) that i ever had was on my BG 182, i got the K-Tec centre line as i was fed up of the standard mounts sagging (and the powerflow that it came with was deafening, Think about a car with 4 destroyed wheel bearings and your half way there) It came with its...

it holds the bite point when sitting in traffic so as soon as you start peeling off the pedal it crawls instantly, makes for very nice driving but not so good for clutch wear, infact even at say the McDonalds drive thru, if your sitting on the brakes, stop start has cut the engine and you lift...

Less so the one in my meg, 21k miles, 4 years old! both clutches slipping badly assume due to LOTS of sitting in traffic before my ownership

My Megane with the same engine but the 7 speed box was in a main dealer for a clutch pack replacement under warranty, they didn't have the specialist tooling for it so i had to wait for that to arrive first, which surprized me, clutch packs must be fairly good in them!

Where's the guy from Adrian flux when you need him?!

197/200 cup with recaros and an Akrapovic feels like a special drive every time! (i need to get some Rercaros for mine!!)

Always liked that colour. suits the willy wheels. Keep up the updates!

Yeah to further complicate you could order an expression with fog lights, think it was £100 option lol

The first pic is a PH3 Dynamique/Extreme4/anything that had fog lights. a ph3 without fog lights got the older style front bumper, but will have ph3 grey insert headlights/updatelist stereo and larger screen in the centre of the dash for fuel/temp as opposed to guages. a ph2 dynamique will...

Ive been done 3 times for the usual clio front plate, first one years ago was £60 but the 2 that followed were £100 each, don't bother with them anymore. The last guy was acting like it was crime of the century and he was doing the world a favour. he failed to notice the absence of diesel...

Leaving present from someone at work when i had my 220t

i clicked on it and started scrolling down thinking "i love an old skool thread". AS SOON as i seen that first megane pic i just started laughing as i instantly got a flash back to what was coming, i thought it was the Osama thread but that was a red mk2 im sure!

Nice spec! What sort of power figures?

I am a big F4R fan, but the k20 is lightyears ahead both in terms of making power and being reliable at that power, my understanding is that a k20 with mild breathing mods and a map is making about the same power as a cammed and ITB f4R. I can only imagine an ITB k20 will make some mad power!

i had to make a cap for it for a hyundai

i thought these were just what everyone used? In fact i thought this was what people referred to as an easybleed lol I've been using one for years haha i bought the sealey version which is identical about 15 years ago and I'm sure it was about £100! i have had 2 under warranty right enough...

be throwing the parts cannon at it without plugging in but a couple of things: if its not been serviced recently then stick a set of plugs in it, even if its had plugs recently make sure its the correct plugs, these run a specific TCE plug and some motor factors supply the normal 1.2 16v plugs...
