Having been in Scotland for the week i've not had the chance to report any spots, but my god there are loads of you guys up North!
The day i got into Fort William (Sat 6th) i spotted a racing blue 182 in Morrisons car park.
Then in Inverness i spotted another Racing Blue 182 with white stripes...
I need a favour from anyone in the Glasgow or Inverness areas!
Im driving up to Fort William tomorrow and am staying near Fort William. Spean Bridge to be precise. But as my girlfriend an I are gonna be driving around quite alot, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to lend me their...
Right now the car is cocked, locked and ready to attack those fantastic Scottish roads!:D
Have to say i found bleeding the system and renewing the fluid pretty easy! Helped having the right tools (vaccum pump for the bleed nipples and a four poster ramp) i suppose!
Anyone else done their own...
Ok ok, i know this is as common a subject as you can get on here but im after some advice as to what this suspension noise could be.
I noticed it tonight going over some of those really abrupt evil little speed bumps you get in car parks etc...you know the bar steward little feckers you have to...
What code are the repeater bulbs for the 172?
Got some clear lenses but obviously now need the orange or silver look bulbs to replace the standard ones.
Cheers.
Black 182 coming from Horsham direction on the A281 today at about 11ish and then a Silver 172 on the same road about half hour later!
Rubbish weather so didn't get either reg.
I've just ordered some of these Bosch Aerotwin wipers that you usually see on most of the new Renaults nowdays as you can buy them as upgrade kits to replace the standard items.
I known Ryan (Rhino16v) has put a set on his Valver but just wondering if anyone else has jumped on the wagon so to...
Seems to be quite a few petrolheads working in the offices opposite where my mum works in the old mill house just down from Godalming train station.
As well as 2 black 182's parked up in the gravel carpark, i spotted a new R34, a Focus RS, a CTR and various other warm hatches.
One of the...
Sorry this is bit long.
Well finally its happened.
After months of hampering my mate for a test drive of the 197 i finally got my grubby mits on the thing....but only because he wasn't at work today and the sales manager who is running it as his demo has kindly let me have a go....well after i...
Can anyone confirm for me which engine type the late 1996 MK1 Clio 1.2's ran?
Is it the D7F?
I only ask because my brothers Mk1 1.2 Oasis needs an oil and filter change but has no books for it so im unsure as to how much oil it takes.
It looks to be nearly identical engine-wise to my old early...
Silver Ph1 172 going up the Merrist Wood road from the Aldershot Road roundabout up towards the Worplesdon Road roundabout at about1.45.
Didn't catch a reg but it sounded like an aftermarket exhaust on it.
Just been down to the local Renault dealer to pick some parts up and saw a 182 parked up having just had its service valet so i flyered it for good measure.
Reg was **04 XHC
Caught up with and played a bit of to and fro with a Silver 52 plate 172 FF on what looked like Turini's heading up the Guildford stretch of the A3 tonight.
I pulled off to join the M25 whilst a monster Ford F150 Lightning came steaming up it.
Reg was R*52 NWF.
Prob no one from here as it...
Being 4 years old this month, and having developed a habit of resetting its trip computer every few days recently, i came to the fairly obvious conclusion that my Cups battery is prob giving up the ghost.
Been quoted around about 50 notes for a new 4 year one but read somewhere that Renault...
Anyone had this one?
Over the past few weeks and only intermittedly, when i come to start the car the trip computer (mpg, trip miles, average speed etc) resets itself back to zero.
Now one other thing i have noticed is that on the occasions it has done this i have noticed the fuel needle...
So who are the best companies to go with for a remap or chip and how much would it cost me roughly?
Kinda looking for a reputable one. Anyone on here got any recommendations?
Cheers
Anyone else here find themselves scowling at passing Civic Type R's on the road?
I don't know if its a hate i've acquired since owning a Clio Sport or just something built into my subconscious (how very deep for a Sunday eve) but i really do despise the things!
Yes they may be better cars...
Just after some opinions on aftermaket exhausts for the Cup.
I want to replace the rear box for something with a bit of a note on it but without sounding totally chav.
Have considered the Ktec stealth as im not overly bothered about seeing the tailpipe but have also just noticed the new...
Saw you pulling out of the Shell garage at Burnt common (Send/Ripley) early Saturday afternoon. i was parked up to the side of the pumps. You gave a wave as you passed and i noticed you had a Cliosport sticker in the rear window.
Has anyone changed tyre profile sizes and noticed any significant changes in their car's handling?
I only ask because im putting on some Toyo Proxes T1-S tomorrow, not out of preference but because i gained a little worn pair from an S1 Exige but they are 50 instead of 45 profile.
Im thinking...
Well its happened sooner than i expected. My brother has rear ended a Civic in my mums Clio Mk 2 Phase 1 1.2, mere weeks after passing his test.:rolleyes:
Damage is moderate and it looks to need the following:
O/s front wing
Bonnet
2 Headlights
Bumper
Front grille/trim
Front cross panel inc...
02 plate 172, on the A3 up near the Ripley slip, possibly may have been a CC Cup but didn't see enough due to traffic as you were quite a way from me before i pulled off.
Pulled behind a Trophy, reg LV55 *** off of the Mayford roundabout yesterday afternoon at about 5.20.
Both gave it beans up until you peeled off towards Sutton Green, flashed the lights and you gave a wave before hurling it off down the lane! Great sight!:approve:
Cup, yesterday, heading towards Woking on the main Woking to Guildford road just after the Mayford roundabout, outside the garden centre
Didn't catch a plate. Prob no one off here but as Cup's are as rare as rocking horse poo, thought i'd post incase
Saw you on the M42 yesterday evening around about 8pm going south. I pulled up beside you in the fast lane and gave a knowing nod...you had a Cliosport sticker in your rear window as well.
Also had a racing blue 182, W* ONY, with what looked like Recaro's, follow me down the M6/M5 around...
