to be honest the only reason i would buy a 182 over a 172 is if i prefered one of the colours! the 182 has more bold, colours that stand out (liquid yellow, racing blue, inferno orange) where the 172 is just monaco blue, flame red, iceberg silver and pearl black, which are all really nice...

id try admiral for insurance im £1200 fully comp at 18 with 1yrs ncb on my mk2 172

Why not save yourself some more and get a 172 for £5,000 ish? a mk2 172 is basically the same car, same interior, same exterior (apart from different wheels and no twin exhausts (different spoiler and no splitter if your compairing to a 182 with the cup spoiler pack) and performance is basically...

as said its the light car plus wide tyres and big power its not a great mixture lol my mum has a big heavy MK2 1.2 16v clio with tiny tyres and its so much better in the snow, can actually nearly drive normally in the snow in it! 172 i need to limp everywhere

SLEEPER! lol

if i was to go back to a dynamique (kepping in mind i spent thousands on my old one lol) id.... 1. get the exterior sorted, PC Polish, wheel refurb etc if needed so it looked 100% mint. 2. 195/45/15 Goodyear Eagle F1's all round on standard wheels 3. FK Konigsport Coilovers and drop it...

-25mm or there abouts, same drop as mine! im getting H&R's for mine in the next month or 2 though! as for setting up, if your near Central Scotland, John @ ProGrip in bonybridge done my old FK Coilovers on my 1.2 16v and done Ally's H&R's on his old 172 too! very highly recomended and a...

ok guys just had my 36k service, front pads 90% worn, rear disks 100% worn lol not to great!! so been thinking greenstuff front pads, new standard rear disks and braided lines with a fluid change. had standard front disks put on it before i picked it up when i baught it so they are fine and...

not a fan of the wheels clios that colour really suit 2118's in white when lowered! what about oz super T's or supperlegeras also?

chances are the surface rust has been your problem, if the car had been lying overnight and you hadnt really used the brakes untill the time you tell us about. i have a long straight near my house which comes downhill to a roundabout and on my way to work i used to hit 3 figure speeds and then...

Sportines are a bit lower than standard lower (about -25mm) Prolines arn't any lower (some say slightly lower some say higher!) I love the sportlines on my mk2 172, i wasnt impressed with the handling as standard coming from a coilovered car, but the eibachs transformed it! you wont have ANY...

once you give them a good thrashing on a dry day to wear them in they are awesome, im on my 6th front set now in 2 years LOL!!

this is probably my favourite out of thousands of my old car, dont know what it is about it, was at the start of a nightshift in the summer when it was still light, its just sitting at the perfect ride height and the picture shows off the lines of the mk2 clio perfectly imo, loved that car!!!

182 has a really free flowing cat as standard, id go for a decat or just stay standard tbh!

02 plate dynamique 145k 03 plate 172 37k today!

no its not the same bottom end just based on the same bottom end iirc both F4R's

given time and money its deffo possible just a good bit of blood sweat and tears on the way lol i looked into fitting one into my old 1.2!! i just dont have the time to sort out fabricating mounts and making up custom shafts thats before we come to wiring!

^ on a turbo car yes because the turbos running off the exhaust gasses, so improve the flow with a different exhaust and it will give gains! its also sucking in large amounts of air so improving the intake will also give big gains! a clio isnt relying as much on exhaust and air flow so only...

there were 2 cup packs... the cup suspension pack and the cup spoiler pack. the cup spoiler pack came with an enlarged rear spoiler and a little black splitter on the bottom of the front bumper (some dealers didnt fit the splitters or some have been wripped off!) the cup suspension pack...

so your trying to tell me that a 1.2 is faster than a 172 with the same driver? wtf are you smoking, can i have some?

looks good what exhausts that?

lol that kit is horrible so is the exhaust

had different sidelights anyway think he was showing them off, was dark so prob wudnt have noticed it i was only looking due to no lights and when it got closer thought thats a fukin VEE!! looked good tho! ive been in edinburgh all week n no spotted yet!

saw a Monaco MK2 172 thismorning at the lights near the gyle centre was low with 16v badges on the rear pillars behind back side windows. then saw a mars red mk2 v6 on the d/c going up towards east craigs (just up the road from where i spoted 172!) this was tonight, was dark and you just had...

lower it a bit and stick some spacers on it and that'll sort your looks problem! stick with 15's they are the future!

you wont get a much better manifold than the 182 one for these cars, its already really well designed

ive heard the mk2 k-tec stealth sounds horrible although ive never heard one in real life. theres a video on you tube if you search "gdi stealth" of it on a cup and it sounds really nice! its what ill be getting

ive got PIAA Platinum, highly recomended

have you actually done a cambelt on a 172? lol my 1.2 16v was not a bad job, 172 im not touching!

Sounds to me like an Upstream O2 Sensor (Lambda) mine used to chug chug chug and hit 3k rpm then just stop reving for 5 seconds or so then start pulling again. but then once it warmed up after a couple of minutes it was fine!
