cheers guys
aye john got it cheap enough so thought id spend a bit on it get it driving mint like they should! need to sort out rubber for it as its running brand new budgets all round by the previous owner.
just cant decide between going 15" for cheaper tyres and better feel and using my F1's...
thought I better update this, ill get a mod to move it to the clio projects section too since this is of course what its turned into lol!!
ordered all 4 engine mounts, coolant temp senor, thermostat and type D coolant...
removed the powerflow stealth and got a genuine system as I...
buying a car without driving is something that depending on the car doesn't usually bother me, I didn't drive a 200 before buying mine but I was happy with the reviews, I had owned most other clio RS so I knew what to expect and it delivered!!
this new one is too "different" for me to order...
i may be wrong but I believe the 100 isn't a dual mass but the newer 106's are.
there is horrible roumours about gearbox issues on dci 100's yet none of us who actually owned one had an issue with them lol, the box isn't the nicest, its the same feel as the twingo RS and new clio non RS models...
must get finger out and see if I can get car in some sort of nick to go down, I had promised myself no more money spending this month, things cost me about £1500 already lol
they are reliable if looked after, problem is only a handful of ones have been now, but once you fix all the common problems and faults then they are pretty bullet proof if you keep looking after it!
looking good, how much ball ache was the RS front bumper without wings?
never understood the bungy cord engine mounts, 65's and 100's have them! I thought my 65 was bodged until I saw my 100 had the same one lol
lol, as above go to the "about" button up the top of the RS Tuner program, it will bring up a new window, select the "update firmware" button and point it to the file you downloaded and it will update it
its worth what its worth to you!!! only you can decide
get a drive see what you think, when I was buying mine at the tail end of last month I looked at a few and because I had one when they were nearly new, none of them (quite rightly so) matched up to the memories of the one I had, so I...
cool beans, bonus that then! I think someone has spent some good cash on this at some point but more recently its fell into the wrong hands and been abused, its been run low on oil at some point so I had to change an engine on it about a month before I bought it off the guy!
I assume a silenced decat would never go thru an mot like this did though? as I tried to mot a decatted 172 a few years ago to chance my luck and it was no where near
looks like ive got a sports cat then! im sure ive saw a manufacturer who puts plaques on their exhausts and I cant remember who...
henk is usually pretty quick.

its years since ive been under a ph2 172 but im sure this looks different to what I remember and it seems to have a little plaque tack welded onto it but I cant see if it says anything due to the angle.
I know its not a silenced decat as it passed an mot no problem (after a lambda sensor!!)
