girls cars, my mrs drives one, its good fun with the resonator chamber off the airbox sounds mental haha

wudnt pull a black man off your sister... lol only kidding dude looks good, ive still never had a shot of one of these! im scared to incase i like it and have to buy one lol

also if your pushing that hard that you crash, your clearly driving beyond your ability!

hope so id love to see it break the 200bhp barrier, i recon it will with a map!

take it uve never driven a big power rear wheel drive car? lol anyone who crashes a clio 172 on the roads deserves to have their licence revoked for life.

i love they exhausts

still no one beat my figure yet ;) joe, you should have went and ran the beast today!!!

yep diff circlip, as said you can weld it but id just replace it with a jb1 for less hastle

agreed at the end of the day its a slightly quick front wheel drive car with a good chassis, you cant get a safer fast car than that! i found my 172 handled that well it was impossible to crash lol

shite i forgot about this! what figures did everyone run?

cheap ass pikey lol because a cheap ass pikey would spend £2600 a year 3rd party on his own insurance, of course i insure my cars legitly in my own name so i can get no claims bonus, 1. i just fancied adapting an arrogant b*****d attatude to start arguments as you seem to have fun doing so here...

has it had the brake fluid changed every 2 years like renault state in the service book? 100% thats your problem! no need for aftermarket stuff its the fluid due a change! mine were getting like that when i sold it, they used to be monsterous!

manifolds and cat are different so ideally you need to run the 182 manifold and 182 cat or atleast a 172 manifold with a custom cat. cut out spare wheel, weld plate, weld on new hangers and it could be fitted

mine did brand new ;) i rest my case ;)

why not, only reason i have insurance is because if i dont the police will give me grieff, as long as my car comes up as insured i couldnt care lol

just make sure it doesnt have a sunroof if you get one lol

cool, im working though so me and my mate are going to run our cars then just head home

i bought my 172 for £8000 a few years back and insured it 3rd party for £2600 a year lol

people will slate a young driver for driving a 172/182 but heres what i found coming from my 1.2 16v. i had more power to make overtakes without them becoming dangerous i had traction control to assist me if i ever got slightly out of control (being 17 at the time!!) i had big 280mm brakes...

hence why i said i agree its stupid arguing about a standard car against a modified one, my MODIFIED 172 had more power and more torque than your heavier 197, hence why it was quicker, i was pointing out if an ibiza TDi passed my 172 then it would pass a 197.

give the gearbox a nicer feel but remember it just lets you rush the box even more so be carefull not to break the box!

looks mean! get yourself over to www.cliodci.net

i love this attitude on CS that because its a diesel it could never compete with the mighty 197, however, my old 172 which would quite comfortably be quicker than a 197 in a straight line got passed by a modified ibiza tdi one night. so i dont see what the confusion is, of course a mega torque...

much more torque than a 172 ;)

it was a joke, a dci is in no way a comparison to a 172!

or something that handles, dci 100 for example ;)

and again, legend of a car tbf driven properly lol ]

Big ians old bus

agreed to a certain extent but as long as the car is getting good use for other drives rather than to work and back then it wont be a problem. my old 190 brake 172 got used daily to go 1.5 miles to work and 1.5 miles back from work 7 days a week but it also got plenty other use and aloud to warm...
