    Clio182 trophy??????

    Is it really 'can't afford' or is it more 'can't justify' - they're very closely linked and this is where this kind of argument originates from. If you use your car all day every day on the motorway, could you justify having a Trophy over a 182? It's strictly speaking a waste of £1,000...

    Clio182 trophy??????

    But the guy is right. If you ask yourself what the best Z4 is, you'd probably argue that yours is because it's the best balance between performance, economy and cost. If you ask a Saxo VTS driver which is better - that or the 106 GTI, he'll say the VTS. It's not necessarily called Brad's law...

    Black 1*2 Leamington parade, 3:30 (wednesday)

    Hai. When you free? Lol.

    Clio182 trophy??????

    Fair enough - it's a long time since I had my 182 so it's easy to look back with rose-tints, but I did starship miles in my 182 (18,000 in 9 months) before I got the Megane and it was great!

    Clio182 trophy??????

    Rly? For everyday use I found the suspension a bit unforgiving in the Trophy - where my 182 would glide along the Trophy would 'inform' you of the bumps. Whilst that's great if you want to drive really, really quick - is it worth having to put up with that on a daily basis?

    Is the V6 255 that bad to drive..???

    Ali - apparently the engine isn't iron? Fred's opinion is that as V6 lumps go it's not that bad?! *Doh, beaten to it!

    Intel X58 or Intel P55 chipset?

    Nope! Hold fire for the 5870x2. By all accounts it's going to rape nVidia - and hard.

    what do we hate on clios?

    FLOL! As much stick as I give Trophys they're not bad handling! The whole RenaultSport range are regarded by the majority of 'the industry' as the benchmark.

    Is the V6 255 that bad to drive..???

    Lol! No, I'd have to fix that too :-(

    Is the V6 255 that bad to drive..???

    No. If I break any panel on the car I'm easily a grand out of pocket - each!

    what do we hate on clios?

    No, it's utter b****cks. Your fog lights light up the space about a foot from your car, maybe three at best. By the time you're doing more than walking pace, if you spot something in the light given by your foglights then you'll hit it. Guaranteed, 150,000%. Rubbish excuse for trying to...

    what do we hate on clios?

    Not supposed to stick it in the engine bay! And yeah - this one's important too so can ban haters!
  13. Mike_182

    what do we hate on clios?

    No, they're still wankerlights. I hate my 1-series enough to drive at the next person I see with foglights on. Be warned!

    what do we hate on clios?

    Yeah! And it really is that simple - stick your hand down the (rather soft on the inside) carpet and the little screw in there is the same as all the other Clios. Twiddle it out and the light unit comes out and the bulb holder can be removed to change the bulb. First thing I did when I bought...

    Clio 200 Cup

    White is too common now - will be out of fashion mid-next year I suspect. Nice sounding car though. Pics when it arrives!
  16. Mike_182

    what do we hate on clios?

    Pull the carpet back. It's easy - I'm up your way soon (probably in the Vee) and will lend you a hand if you like?

    Floffle. I was joking, but thanks. x

    what do we hate on clios?

    Addz - I think I know when we're not wanted. Wheels over 16" Bodykits Laguna Engines Go on, what else. I promise I won't take (much) offence!

    Do you feel the need to "prove" yourself in your Renaultsport?

    Does pulling a wheelie on the bike cos they waved to get you to count as proving yourself? :o

    If I can manage it without climbing trees, you've got no excuse.

    Trophy Paint fade

    Renault give 5 years on paint don't they? Give them a call, quick - it's got to be coming up on that!
  22. Mike_182

    Do you feel the need to "prove" yourself in your Renaultsport?

    Nope. I like low speed burble. That and if I'm in traffic, I'm usually in Der Deutsche.

    Get a bigger engine and put your foot down.

    what do we hate on clios?

    They're nice, but overdone.

    what do we hate on clios?

    O.E. fit wheels to a 172 Cup (I think?) and 182 Trophy.

    Turinis, unless it came with them.
