172 looks like a 1.2 .. 182 looks like a 1.2 and has a pair of exhausts cut out into the rear bumper. In the real world, you'll never notice the difference in power and the few mm's wider track on the 182 cup packed car (which is an entirely different thing to a 172 cup) again, unless your name...
I never said you can touch her. She's just out of my hair for the w/e :rasp:
This is mine http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?568982-F-S-2002-Monaco-Ph2-172-55k-%A32800. if you haven't found it yet.
Stupid double post !!!!!
PS: Unless your Mum owns a TVR and can lap a roundabout sideways, don't listen to her ;) Mum's know nothing about cars. Infact, "buy a newer car" is typical female advice when they don't actually have a scoobydoo about the subject..
Five grand ?!! You can have my missus for a weekend AND my car for 5k ;)
You can pick up a ph1 for <£1500 these days.
I'm in Billericay if you want a wander over, but looking at googleymaps you're awkwardly a long way away by road !
Presuming it's the correct PCD and offset, yes... BUT.... 17's do not work on Clios 99% of the time ! They look stupid and make the handling awful. Perhaps you enjoy a car which tramlines to f*k ;)
15s and lows .. much better !
Welcome BTW ! Location dude ? (I'm presuming you're a guy anyway)
172 cup's have no ABS so can be difficult to insure, depending on circumstances.
As above, what do you want ? A weekend toy or a daily ? Budget ? Location ? Mine's for sale ;)
Re: Tyre pressures...
How low is 'a bit low' ? It's a <500kg car .. it doesn't need 30psi per corner.
Most 7's run between 15 and 20psi depending on setup.
Just keep it simple.
OEM+ works best IMO with something as stupid looking as a Clio... They're too short (wheelbase) to pull off big wheels, plus it just ruins the handling.
My old Ph1 RS:

OEM + coilovers. Spot frikkin' on, if I do say so myself...
Whack them on eBay. Some idiot will buy them...
Clios don't handle well on 17s, and 16's arent amazing. They must be awful.
I'd get 15 or 16" wheels .. OEM look just fine TBH, OZ F1s suit the ph1 .. ultraleggeras, superleggeras also look good .. Speedline 2110s in white maybe if you like...
Few from today - spend the weekend in the garden pruning/mowing/cutting etc.:

Where are you OP ? I've got a pair of redundant 6x9s which need rehoming cheap. JBL P-93s... let me know.
One has slight damage on the connector but nothing a bit of solder can't resolve.
Got them on the front of my 172 IIRC. Not amazing and wouldn't replace like for like.
If you essentially want rain tyres, UR RainSports or Hankook V12s. :approve:
