Re: South Yorks Meet 10/3/2006 hmmmm. ill remember that! was anyone behind me when russ pulled out in front of me on that steep hairpin, i was trying to set off and my car just filled with smoke. didnt realised the inside wheel was just spinning.

what meeting was this?

how did you sort it?

brilliant. where did he get on though? i thort the toll booth was down the straight!

Re: South Yorks Meet 10/3/2006 was a quality day in the end. sarah pm'd everyone on the list her number incase we got lost so i txt her and said i was coming down from scotland and needed to know what junction of them M1 i should get off at. she tottaly fell for it, kept txting back to see...

great come back.

faster...harder....harder.....go on you sure shes working the throttle?

lol v6 = 192bhp lol i guess thats punto logic. 172 then 182 so the next one must be a 192.

what did you spot?

just out of interest. how come someone who is so into having a clean clio, has the usual s**t looking fuel rail guard and inlet manfild on, i would of thort you would have that all polish up as well!

eh? my old car did, my mates focus rev higher and its only a 1.6. i think the gear ratios are too short and the car is lacking a 6th gear.

seems like im not the only one not 100% happy with the renaultsport range. i get my xmas bonus this month so im gonna be some springs and see if it changes the ride much.

you misread what i put, i meant i was able to carry so much speed through a series of corners the 182 wasnt able to pull away untill we got on a straight. so i was doing say 50 leaving the bends and the 182 was doing 35. so i was able to carry the same speed from 50 -100 in the same time a...

f**k knows, im off to bed. maybe the car will go abit faster tomorrow. ......*awaits "i just wrote my 172 off" thread*

at least im not alone.

i was expecting a car with sporty heritage to handle better than a cheep city car with some ebay springs on thats all.

21st August Trackday at Oulton Park 18th September Trackday at Cadwell Park most of the year away. gutted. can u get tuition on those days?

lol i need to be stimulated. at the minute i feel like taking the bus, and thats from somone who thinks their a genuine petrolhead.

i hope your right. even though i know from a meet we had a few weeks ago i could carry loads more speed through a series of motorway roundabouts than a 182, so much so i was up the arse of the 182 to the top of 3rd b4 it even started to pull anything. not saying my car was faster in a...

lol bmw drivers lol. lowered on 60mm gmax or something crap 2nd hand too. were £30 off ebay. was never near crashing even at the most rediculus speeds. think the 172 feels heavier. so when i change direction i feel the weight shifting about more. especially when i try and tease lift...

dunno how many miles. just put £20 every day. filled it on friday, done 270 miles at 33mpg b4 the light came on. mostly on the a1.

conti's which are ditch finders if you ask me. i cant throw it about like i could the old one. maybe just been hyping this car up for all this time and turned it into something its not.

sounds like a plan, how do i book one?

dunno mate. this is why im so confused. i have even written to the previous owner to see if it has even been in an accident or had any majoy engine work which might cause it to feel so bad. i think its because the 1.4 was never going fast enough to get me into something i couldnt get out of...

i said i can afford to drive it! i put £110 in juice in it last week its just boring and i dont feel safe at speed.

its only got 28,000 miles on it (aparently) so i guess it could free up a little. f**k knows, i have lost interest in cars!

I have wanted a 172 for some time now, about 4 years to be exact. so a few weeks ago i bought one and chopped in my 1.4 16v which had served me for the best part of 100,000 miles. firstly i noticed that yes it was faster than my 1.4. i've had it on some long motorway type cruises and its...
