I drove my 172 from new exactly how i drove it for the next 48,000 trouble free miles , hard . Personally i think i think new engines can be driven hard from day one , also did the same with my new 182 . Regular oils changes every 6k :)
Bearing in mind you need to be a member of costco . Mytyres are cheaper than most places . £76.70 delivered , mine took 2 days to arrive :)

According to the heritage section on renaultsport.co.uk you either got a cabasse 4 x 40w in the full fats and 4 x 22w in the cup versions .
I remember in my ff 172 i had blaupunkt speakers which weighed a fcukin tonne , the cup speakers are different again , they weight next to nothing...
The u380's the one you want for Renault .

A new inlet will give no gains in performance or noise . If your looking for noise with a filter look at maybe k+n or green cone filters , but they can suffer from heat soak if it they are open in the engine bay .
I have a bog standard k+n cone filter in a custom made aluminium enclosure...
Second RS clio for me from new . Had the 172 from new for 4 years then waited for the 197 to come out , didn't like the look of it so bought a new 182 in February 2006 . I'll be keeping it for the forseable future until something else comes along that might tempt me in this price bracket.
Like Sam says wet n dry . It'll also depend on how good the colour match is , it might still look a mess after its been wet n dried and polished up if its a bad match .

He's sh*t hot . He took a bad dent out of my drivers door , one in the rear passenger quarter panel and a couple of little ones out of the roof . Cost £60 but my neighbour paid £50 towards it as their little b4stard kid dented my roof :mad:

^^^^ Of course you can turn them off .Only in position 1 on the stalk are the autowipers turned on . Also turn the selector ring on the stalk towards you , it slows down the speed they wipe , position 2 is slow intermittent and position 3 is fast intermittent .
I have one , just sits in the boot usually on top of a load of junk , lol . I've never had to change a wheel ever in my life ( touch wood ) ;) I got mine for peace of mind though as well .
I was referring to the question do Halfords sell brake fluid .
Brake fluid reservoir is here . As stated you have to remove the engine cover to gain access .
Cheers for that Len . I wouldn't have known unless you said , lol . It obviously works for me and nobody else ;)

Only the clio bits are showing up now when i click on the link :(...
I'm gonna do mine sometime in the future , when i get time . But i'm gonna do mine black with plenty of lacquer on it . As said above you do run the risk of lots of chips but at the end of the day its only just under the front bumper and that doesn't get severely chipped so its worth the risk i...
