You'd be surprised tbh mate, there are alot of threads that ask the same questions as you have, just passed their test, got their first car and they're really excited about getting out there and belting about, and they get proper pissed off when they're told the realities of modding a 1.2 and...

Fair play to you Turvey, you've asked our advice, we've given you some and you've listened to it, so many get the right arse when they're told it's not a good idea to mod a slow car when you've just passed your test. Bide your time, get a few years driving experience, a few years NCB, save...

There are a few things cosmetically you can do to it to make it look a little nicer without increasing your insurance, colour code the black plastics, get the alloys & badges painted a different colour etc. You live in Aylesbury, I can't believe you're paying that much on insurance, it's not...

Sounds interesting, get a Clio media thread up once you've got it in order, or maybe a project thread if you're planning on modding it, i'm sure a JDM 172 thread would get some interest. lol I really can't imagine a 172 driving about Japan surrounded by boosted ricers. :cool:

I was just about to say that'll be Knuckles, but i'm guessing you spot yourself near enough everyday?

Tbh if you hit oil/grease at 60 on a 60 road and it starts to let go, then you touch the brakes, the end result would pretty much end up like your pictures.

Is he any relation to Heinrich?

According to him he was diving in a straight line at a normal speed, hit some oil, it got all squirmy on him, he touched the brakes, totally lost control and binned it. There's no reason not to believe him tbh, he's young and made a mistake, it happens.

Well at least you now know that going anywhere near the brakes is the last thing you do when aquaplaning, just lift off the throttle and concentrate on keeping the thing in a straight line. You learn by your mistakes, we've all made them mate.

Because HULK SMASH!!!!

A Japanese import Clio, am I reading that right?

I like how much g-force the mighty oak is being subjected to. lol :cool:

Your insurance might have to cover the rebuilding of that wall aswell as paying for your car. You're going to get bum raped the next time you try to get insurance. :(

Ahhhhahahah!!!! That is beyond words!!!!

Is that the telegraph pole on the left you destroyed?

Well if you're going to f*ck a car up, you might as well do it properly. ;) At least there wasn't anyone else involved and you only destroyed a wall and telegraph pole and not someone else's car, apart from your own.

I didn't think it was possible to make a white 1*2 look like sh*t, but he seems to have managed it. :dead:

I'd go for purple wheels tbh, I reckon RB & purple would go well together. If you're going to be different then you might as well go all the way.

He spent 3.5 million turning it into that, and wants 7 million for it!!? Flol what a f*cking bellend.

I quite like that, the side I can see looks mint. ;)

If your car gets smashed you just have to fix it yourself & get on with it. Expensive old game.

Do Daniel & CS both sponsor you?

Cracking vid, I have to admit there were a few moments where I would have totally shat it, :o you guys drive that thing on the ragged edge!! :cool:

Because arch gap!!! :S

Merc's still worse tbh, a decent wrap would sort that BMW out, only fire or the crusher would fix the Merc. ;)

Piece of piss to fit. What the hell does shougles mean? lol

That reminds me, I think mines got louder over the last few weeks, i'll have the garage take a look at it on Friday.

I've got a Piper aswell, we can all get tinnitus together. lol I've still got to replace the starter motor, sump gasket (it leaks a little), and Cam/Aux/dephaser service, now that little lot is going to be expensive!!! What else can I do though, it's a 10 year old car that'll be good for...

Well the car's going in for tie rods, track rod ends and alignment this Friday, so that's the first step in getting it sorted for the rr day. :approve:

I had this when I bought my car, got a replacement boot lock thingy from Renault and that sorted it. They're not that expensive iirc.
