Ive had 4 172s and a 182 and they have all been mega reliable and just needed serviced and a few wear and tear parts!

Diesel will outlast the petrol imo, i agree tho if not doing miles go for a tce and avoid the 1.2 16v, or a gt tce 120 pre reg/2nd hand

I wouldnt worry about it, will just remove it if it causes issues, the new ones map really well ours has over 200lbft goes like f**k!

Nothing been said yet but i would imagine so, wouldnt be surprized if the 220 engine does too like the 265 trophy did

It's 4 services as far as i know so yeah you would get your yearly service, my mrs is doing 30k a year ago we just get 18, 36, 54 and 72k out of them They have a dpf so IM not sure if short journeys would cause some issues i just do about 7 miles a day in my 80 and its sound but no dpf on it

It completes the car, i want to keep it standard and if i spent half as much on a stainless it would always annoy me!

Trophy is spotless, not a mark on it so it doesnt scratch the flat out blasting itch! Then theres the dci80 for going back and forward to work and filling with car parts/dirty s**t! And the mk4 for my mrs 130mile commute and days out with the pram!

my cup is on standard map and never saw much benefit to taking it past 7000rpm, Trophy is on Fastchip 98ron and still isn't tailing off at 7500rpm but ive never taken it any higher!

looks fantastic, we need more videos of these turbo clios, im dying to get my cup done!!

I know there is plenty on here who suffer from the same illness! heres my 4!

ive got a mapped dCi 90 one, night and day compaired to the mk3 absolutely love it, not tried the TCE though, I heard they were a bit gutless, better than the 1.2 16v 75 though!

Renault parts specialist is doing it a bit cheaper than that lol, and obviously ive not ordered a cat, fitting kits, clamps, hangers and sleves as these are all in good condition anyway, its just a backbox and centre section I needed!

Just noticed this, as above not without mmodification or stick a set of 172 hubs and brakes on it

As long as you have the standard parts then id just leave it as it is, mine needs an exhaust so im going to buy a new renault one and keep it to the side and stick a cheaper sportex one or somthing on it for using!

For me after owning a 200 and various 172, 182s if you can afford the 200 then its a no brainer, its vetter in every way other than fuel consumption and of course straight line speed is debatable. The 172 is a cracking car for the money and as daniel said i cannot think of anything else i would...

Cumbernauld are about to do the Turinis on my cup, word of mouth paints them as really good so we will see! if they do a spot on job ill get them to do the Trophy ones

sound with a tail wind lol

ive got an 03 plate dci 80, mapped by a Bluefin hand held to somewhere around 105bhp 175lbft - I love it, paid a grand for it, 18 moths ago and probably 30k ago, it gets packed full of car parts, tools, flat pack furnature, stock for my shop, it tows cars. its done 150k miles and drives like...

Because that's f**king loads haha

Fantastic, I remember this build starting when I had not long got my 172, because it was my first fast car and first car that wasn't a banger, and I remember thinking it was fast enough and how could you start cutting up such an expensive car lol!!! ive since had about 10 RS Clios! excellent to...

couldn't buy one over the trophy, the Trophy fixes all the issues with the original car. have a search online at the reviews, slow gear changes, gearbox getting confused, not very exciting engine, bit bland handling. etc etc the 220 trophy has the extra 20bhp, more torque, higher rev limiter...

seems they had about as much talent as their barber!

all dat torque.... oh wait..

with your budget a good condition 182 with cup pack, you would be very lucky if you found a good trophy for under 4k

We had one for a while specced up with all the options, i loved it until it had its belt changed, didnt realise at the time it was a similar setup to the 172, got the local garage to do it with genuine parts but never ran properly after that, was definately down on power, cracking wee engine though!

fantastic! looking forward to seeing your progress!

Tell me about it mate about to test drive my new lawn mower, been excited All day at work when i saw the sun

still not saw it in the flesh with the new wheels. I notice macrae and dick have 3 white ones sitting out the front, each over 25k! good news for you lol

Was just thinking the orange didnt look too bad then i saw the yellow, fantastic work!

as above looks good at that height but will drive a million times better on factory dampers, mine has eibach prolines and sits about standard with good ride quality while still having reduced roll when you throw it in!
