How do the GTAs do on the 'ring? Do they post good times or does the torque steer ruin the possibility of fast laps??

God Damn that place looks lush....where is that Tom? Nice car btw, always had a soft spot for the ATR, all that vtec goodness and a decent size boot too.:cool:

Blue 172 Cup. Saw you indulging in a Maccy D's in Coryton last nite. Any one off here? :approve:

True!:eek:

I had to argue that my 182 was a FF and not a cup as they kept trying to tell me. "Its on our system as a cup" they said, "Well my v5 and my eyes tell me it isnt" i told them.

Yer, i never stay with the same company come renewal time. Saved myself £500 by shopping around this year. Its the same story with my Orange mobile phone, i get a better deal if i cancel my contract after a year and start as a new customer than if i stay. No customer loyalty at all, they are...

If it hadnt been for a garage sending me a letter trying to tout for the business to do my MOT, i would have never realised it was due. Oops:clown:

Re: Pissed off, f**king pissed off! All the f**king time! It seems the more effort i put into trying to hide my car out the way in the corner of the car park, the sh*tter the car that parks next to me gets!:mad: Sorry about the car Daz - hopefully that is the last of the bad luck to happen...

Or a bright green. Thats the great thing about black or silver clios, you can have a wild colour wheel and i reckon it'll look cool.

I hate it when people force their way past in the lanes, i always seem to catch the one bloody huge stone and kerb my alloy (plus the scratches in the paint from the hedges)! Slightly off topic i know, but i needed to vent.:o

I suppose that one of the reasons that they go for cheaper on here is that nobody swallows some of the BS that sellers try and feed you on other sites. Theres too many people on here that know too much about clios for sky high prices (inflated by BS) to exist.

"Alloys have been curbed slightly but have been touched up and only noticable when up close, four locking wheelnuts on each wheel" 4 locking nuts per wheel! Bet thats fun when you need to change a type.... especially if they are all different, 16 locking keys anyone?

Hey dont knock them! Let them buy them new, take the hit on depreciation and look after it so when we buy it 2nd hand we get a mint non-ragged 197. ;) :cool:

Havent seen any. I was thinking of doing this to my RB. White Wheels, White Wing mirrors (a la Mini Cooper) and White badges to tie it in.....

Mine has started doing this too. I had a front lower ball joint replaced under warranty last month and i'm wondering if they have fecked up the tracking/allignment/(insert proper name here)

182 - 7.5/10 I like the looks, chucking it round corners, good mpg and that 5k kick.:cool: I dont like how frantic it sounds cruising at 80ish on m'way (coming from a 4.0 v8 that did 80 at about 1500rpm), the squeeking dashboard and the random knocking from the engine...

I would presume the best place for rotas would be www.rarerims.co.uk who are their uk distributor iirc.

I actually quite like that colour....:quiet:

Me too. Lol. :o

Yep, i have noticed this too. Gave the girlfriend in the passanger seat a face full of washer fluid the other day. I have now been told i am only allowed to clean the windscreen 1. When stationary and 2. With the windows closed! What about using some (much hated) wind deflectors?

That one looks good Griffyn. How much did you pay for the merc one?

The carbon induction kit looks good! How much self restraint must he have not to track that!!

Same thing here....lost 10months NCB because the AA wanted an extra £700 to insure the clio on the last 2months of my policy, so told them to screw that and to refund me the difference which was about £250 - otherwise i would have in effect paid them £950 for 2 months cover: 12 months cover...

Sorry to thread hijack, but can you get the plates made up 3/4 of the size of normal or do you cut them down yourselves?

Gutted for you mate! Hope the insurance pays out and your neck doesnt cause you any long term pain.

Yer, i was round a mates a few years ago and there were three fords on the drive, iirc all the keys would open each others doors, but more worryingly the escort key would start the other mates ka! On a slightly different note, i remember my mates vauxhall nova where if you took the hazard...

A couple of years ago, i drove to work on an industrial estate, parked up at 8.30, stuck my new shiny metal dust caps on, went down to the local bakery in the work van on the bun run, came back 14 MINUTES later and they were gone! bugger! Just use the black plastic ones now...

Nice one mate!!:cool: As i said it would be interesting to see what it puts out (although im sure there will still be some debate when you do get figures about the calibration of the r/r!) Any piccies in the meantime?:)

Yep, had my 182 for 3 months and received nothing but p*ss poor service from renault dealer. Just as well the car makes up for it! Lol.

Dan, are you gonna keep the same sized tips when you change them? I know some ppl will say they look to big, but i really like their size!
