car is getting new engine mounts so decided to give the engine a clean up... as it stood rocker cover (car had a new engine recently and it had apparently been sitting under a cover outside for a while) inlets, engine mount and fuel rail guard painted (throttle body was also done...

fancy plates plates do have the name and postcode on them? or atleast mine do!

I love them they are staying, well when I say staying these ones are getting sold and im buying a new set to refurb, only reason being is the previous owner just 3 weeks ago had 4 brand new budget tyres fitted to these so they are ideal to sell to someone as budget tyres are not for me lol!!

Exhaust is coming off it too, im looking for a fast daily driver so a new genuine renault system going on

tell me about it! its getting new engine mounts tomorrow so ill have it all in bits and ill start getting it upto the standard my old one was!

gave it a quick going over with a clay bar and then the machine polisher to bring the paint back into some sort of reasonable condition and then decide what panels need paint got this to deal with tomorrow... then these...

Was a mates, I wouldn't say I got a bargain but I wouldn't say I robbed him, we were both happy! LOL so is everyone! Clio number 8, RS number 4, 172 number 3 :)

cheers mate, ill stick a project thread up soon, gonna order a new set of engine mounts, front end refresh and take it from there. has spax adjustables and springs, and what looks like some sort of custom stealth exhaust and sportscat

needs some work and an MOT but its straight, good nick, 99k miles, full history and belts done last month by a specialist :)

definately however ive just bought a ph2 172 for 1300 quid and sold the twingo for 3500 thats a lot of change and 200 less than it cost me 8 months and 15k miles ago so it was the right descision

cant say im surprized

away it went this afternoon, completely standard bar the stage 1 remap

im feeling a ph2 172 again, that horrible RS clio itch that we all love and hate so much!!

decat is coming off too, imagine fitting a 182 manifold then removing it a day later, yep that's what ive got to do!!!! brett, same here I actually didn't want to sell it, was turning out to be epic but im getting a good price for it so was rude not to! and will stop me blowing it up then...

that aint bad, sure they were closer to £600 a few years back? ive got a 172 itch again but ive also got used to my quiet twingo and not sure I want to go back to loud exhausts (yup ive considered a handbag too!)

mate turned up with a bundle of cash tonight for me!!! im putting it back to standard tomorrow morning and hes driving it away tomorrow afternoon. gutted to see it go but on the plus side ive got 4k to waste on something new!!!

I know how s**t they are etc that's not what this thread about, just curious as to how much they cost these days? backbox and centre section. cheers

I wouldn't imagine there is much benefit going for 2.5 because 2.25" wont be a restriction when your still running standard downpipe and turbo, id have thought anyway!

Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra this had the potential to be either rubbish or epic, and my god it went full on epic!! brilliant big of engineering with the rear spacers!

this was my big question I always asked myself when I first got mine until I started to really get used to it, considering its bigger and heavier I could get so much more lift off oversteer than I could on a 172/182, it was comedy. The levels of grip are simply awesome and as mentioned above...

sale has fallen through so its staying! im secretly happy about that!! Protoxide were brilliant to deal with I had a massive delay because the guy making the downpipe cut his finger off in a machine! but they kept me well updated and threw in a few freebies to make up for it which was a nice...

I can struggle to get 200 miles in the twingo if im giving it full boost everywhere lol

yeah you can run it on 95 no problem but the map is designed to make the maximum potential from 98/99 so you really need that and will possibly take a few tanks of that before it really starts to make the most of it

I remember how surprized I was when I went from my 1.2 16v to my first 172 back when I was 17, I was getting 20 miles less to a full tank in the 172 than I was in the 1.2 16v! driving both as hard as I could of course given my age at the time lol

more updates check the thread ;)

im fully comp with them, have windscreen cover and the details are included on my policy documents under my actual excess bit. i renewed with them a few weeks back and fully comp was £18 more than 3rd party and i had a cracked windscreen which is about a foot long now lol so was a no brainer...

yellow gunk is normal its condensation, take it a good run let the car get oil temperature and give it a good blast and it will clear, wont do any harm being there anyway

which 80% of the under 30 population appear to be these days for some reason

yeah i love it but its also done 60k and while its in good condition its no more special than any other one for sale right now bar a few bolt on bits that's coming off it for sale so seems the right thing to do, hes only offered what its worth really but at the same time its someone offering...

I can see it going that way lol, mate made me a good offer on it lastnight whos just sold his CTR he cant afford to run, hes apparently giving me the cash for it on Monday morning and picking it up, standard on Monday night, so it might be sold!!! but if it falls through then its business as...
