the elise in that vid isnt a 111r, its a k series engined jobby, 120 or 160 bhp

there not light engines, dont be fooled by cc. there 140kg more than the standard 1.4 units. its 2.0 fsi (out the gti) weight territory. Reports have been good though so far.

could just be a random failure though!! unless the outside of the belt was frayed, which would be a age related thing due to the atmosphere perishing the rubber.

dont like the meganes huge booty, that alone would make me not but one. otherwise there nice. i like the front end. i dont like the rear side windows/roofline neither. would def buy the clio over it.

heh cool! :)

yeah was me on way to a stag do my son OI OI

yeah suppose they could block the heater elements on the rear window and cause aerodynamic deficiencys!! sheoooooooooooot

wicked where do i buy these beasts, are they easy to fit, or do you really need a master technician to fit them? :D

they didnt do a v6 in the 323. it was in the mx6. The platform is based on the ford probe. though the engines are different. as the probe had a 2.5 v6. it was a 2.0 v6 in the mx6. the 323s engines were just 4s. Im full of useless car s**t know one cares about.

I got a x-reg mk1 172, rumour on the my streets says they pushed out 230bhp standard cos they have a special chip from a importer called ebay...

both my old 182 and current 172 have been spot on. only car ive ever had break, and severely i might point out, was my old ctr...

sweet ;)

I don't get that noise from mine. Go look at another one and see if you notice it. Prob best.

i was 18 wen i got my 182, am 21 now several cars later with a classic 172.

The reason you loose power on a open filter btw mate (within reason), is because of heatsoak. Meaning the warmth the engine produces in the engine bay, gets sucked in, due to not having any shielding. A normal air flow pattern on a airbox setup is obviously enclosed air by plastic piping. Its so...

I was 18 when i had my 182. lol. loved it. enjoy your 182. mate.

I would buy 182, because I feel if you the buy the 172, you'll regret it. May aswell own the better one! :)

yeah but WHOOOOOOOOO paid full retail for a 182?!!?! forget renaults prices.

But, the phase ones dont have a UV coating?? I could understand if it was just the phase 2 172s and 182s... Do the 172 cups have it?

The v6 is all about getting looked at, and being specialist. Its a enthusiasts car. Not just in terms of driving, but owning to.

Yum, love that. wing sets it off perfectly.

my ra didnt work in my 182. But yeah, external gps antenna if it doesnt solves the prob. Does anyone know what the square patch is in the centre of the screen?!? my 182 and my phase1 172 has it.

i like it alot!!!

For your info, the cambelt change is 72k OR 5 years. UNDERLINE THE OR. Because rubber hardens with the atmoshere. Its worth getting done, as a snapped one if you don't know, will probabally mean a new engine as it will shag all the valves etc.

lightweight wheels (i.e. ultraleggeras or Comos) would aid. not cheap tho.

Man quit your job lol

house prices start at bout 350k where i live for a small house 3 bed :(

prefer looks of mk2, i have owned both, now own mk1 172. not alot in it driving preference.

I am hoping it will be a good bit of kit. I like it looks wise. have never said otherwise.

actually its 0-62 time is faster, its 6.8/6.9 secs, the original time was 0-60 at 7.1! its bascially same bhp tonne as ctr. remember weight is less irrelivant as speed rises, so motorway speeds you might find the 197 has the edge. be interesting to hear bout handling though.
