expression is a 16v, authentique is a 8v (unless you get 8v expressions too? mine is a 16v though) from the look of it the engine is completely standard so not that fast especially in a heavyer car with 17s to be honest if he wanted a turbo he would have been better going for a starlet gtt...

what about converting it to a 16v using parts from a 1.2 16v, then your starting with arround 75bhp and some have had arround 90+BHP from them

lol i get it all the time at work, get told to buy a real car (guy has a 1.8 vectra!) and also get my other mate telling me to buy a mans car, a diesel! (1.4 HDi pug 206) they just dont realise that none of the above go round corners half as fast as mine ;)

would help if your car was a bright colour so you could see it better :clown: ;)

ive seen people using them when on track or doing long motorway runs, helps stop stone chips

lol yep as john said!

apex -60mm kit and that will look MINT! the big wheels look out of place when its high but when its slammed they suit it

its her fault id say, if you dont check your mirrors before changing speed you'll fail ur driving test, so im assuming this means its her fault?

Pioneer all the way mate, you wont regret it. the fronts in the clio arn't bad (im still using them) the back speakers are terrible. so you would think the best thing to do is replace the back first but i find if you replace the back speakers even with somthing like semi cheap 6x9s they sound a...

think hes talking about your k-tec system mate ;) looking and sounding good guys, like the 182 surround on the 172s

get a Pioneer Head unit mate, ive got a DEH-P8600MP (out of your price range) and its amazing! i also fitted a cheap pioneer unit to my cousins saxo (cost £60 or somthing from car audio direct) and even that sounded ok with the standard speakers. as said before if you want sound quality just...

speed wise none are faster than the other really, the thing with renault engines are they dont all put out the same, you could end up with a 170bhp 182 or a 175bhp 172. for the leather and xenons your going to need a full fat 172 or 182 (non cup) they all have ABS apart from the 172 cup (i...

ouch i hope you've got 20" wheels for that price? ;)

wow quite the handy man then? lol i couldnt be bothered going through all that hastle but fair play mate looks really good when fitted

post back what you think of the ScratchX when you use it, im thinking of using it. good luck

yep ballcrushers

theirs a clio at falkirk college with a free flow system, sounds good and looks alright. im getting mine done by motorsport world after seeing the pics of al's and hearing the videos of it, spot on.

trip computer gets confused easy in some cars my mates calibra turbo said we were getting 99.9mpg at 160mph with the clutch dipped :clown:

dont be silly lol petrol blue if you can get your hands on one but i doubt it!

was actually quite clean at the time if i remember! its hard trying to keep the cars clean this time of year though! do you stay in wales and were visiting up here or did you buy the car in wales and not changed the plates yet?

mine doesnt feel unsafe to be honest, compaired to any of my mates cars anyway, your usual corsas and saxos!

from another thread...

you say you do sometimes 20-30mph over the speedlimit so say you sit at 100mph on the motorway a 1.2 would be at 5000rpm (dont know about a 1.4) so its going to be drinking petrol too!

my 1.2 was doing that they changed the coilpack which didnt fix it but then it stoped it the next day?!

nice set of 15s or 16s and lower it and it will look 10x better but yeah we all have to start somewhere and that looks tidy enough, pretty low millage for its age, well compaired to mine anyway!! welcome to CS

to be honest i wouldn't get an expression, get a dynamique and then you get alloys, sports seats (same as your 182 but without the leather/alacantra), spoiler, front fogs, trip computer and a couple of other toys the 1.6 16v is ment to be quite an economical engine (due to VVT possibly?) and...

cant see Al taking the car on track incase he gets any stone chips on the bonnet :clown:

was a thread about it a month or 2 ago, renault will fit new dials under warranty but will reset your millage back to 0

im not a fan of the smoothed look eather but each to their own it should look impressive, its a good colour for going euro!

sony are pretty balls when it comes to car audio to be honest (ive never used any of there top of the range units), most people just buy them because they have a sony hi-fi at home that they think is good ;) (when it isnt!) i always stick to pioneer when recomending head units, but i hear...
