Not good:(

That's cheap Renault wanted £300 for a new OE exhaust for my 172.....comes in one piece from the backbox through to the cat. I'd still go aftermarket though as it's bound to fall off again.

I find the Conti sports pretty good as well:D

A lot of it is in the head My old Impreza felt quick as fook due to the turbo coming in (lag) but I reckon I can corner as quick in the Clio due to the cars good steering feel & handling.

I find the more I drive the 172 the more I get used to it's handling/cornering abilities so it's still plenty of fun.

PMSL at this thread:D

have to agree on the 172/182s capabilities.....even in standard form it's plenty quick enough for me.

They look good....nice clean car as well:D

I was going to suggest those as well....you can have oil temp and pressure in one gauge. Better fitment with senders as well....I'd be a little uneasy at the thought of hot oil flowing around tubes inside the cabin which is what you'll get with some more simple gauges.

Welcome to CS:D

Unlucky....your obviously not driving it properly. Fuel consumption bad in the RS?.....you try driving a modded turbo car which does sub 20mpg most of the time!

Must be on it's 3rd or 4th renault exhaust by now

Sorry dude, I couldn't help myself Wish I had the time to pamper my 172 but it usually stays dirty:(

I suppose it does depend on the mods I'd buy a Clio that was cosmetically standard but had a few extras like exhaust, panel filter etc.

S**t..that reminds me, I've got to get the cambelt done on my 02 reg this October as it's coming up to 5 years old. Still only got 18000 on the clock though....need to get some more on it to loosen it up

Look at the toptube..it's about 18 inches long and the geometry is rubbish. Totally unuseable for serious BMX

Now I know why it costs 3k to insure....Kingswood in Bristol probably doesn't go down to well risk wise for the insurance company. If it's not nailed down in Brissol it's gone. Enjoy the car...make sure you've got locking wheel nuts and the alarm works properly:D

I don't think 65k is an issue apart from the point you spotted with the cambelt which will cost a bit to do. TBH I'd go for the one in the best condition regardless of plate.

I paid £110 for the carbon splitter from K-tec and about £30 for the panel filter. Splitter (if you haven't got one already) is good addition....really makes the front end look so much better.

Yeah..there are always loads of people on this site...way more than any of the other forums I go on.

I've only done the splitter, Green panel, Stealth exhaust and sports cat. Just going to keep it serviced properly and replace the pads & discs at some point.

I'd stick with the 182 nyself but that's only because I prefer the newer shape Clio over the MK1 RS.

I think they can be removed All I can say is get it done properly.....nothing worse than seeing limo black tints with bubbles in all over the place due to a shite DIY job.

Renault would only sell me one if I brought the whole cup pack (with rear spoiler) lol

lol Those caliper covers made me laugh

:s

That's always a bit alarming if you wash the car and put it in the garage straight away....pads just bind slightly to the disc due to the rust. lol @ andys comment

Agree performance wise but it still won't be the real thing which is what people will pay the extra money for in the future.

Black/anthracite wheels would look good have a look at the ones car in the for sale section....that's a silver 172 with black OE wheels on and it looks pretty neat.

Uh oh:S
