its usually 4x4 drivers round here trying to go too quick and loosing it, overconfidence and isolation from the road are the main problems. I used to have a mk3 polo on 145 tyres, that was epic in the snow! the Clio's, not so much, but as above if you take it easy and don't put yourself in a...

i'll sell you it at a hugely inflated price Luke ;) rofl! I do love it though, its imo the best spec/colour for a 182

Renault have always been guilty of throwing whatever was lying about left over from the ending run onto the new cars or the new run onto the final few old cars, the mk1's are the same hotch potch at crossover time between phases

its not really a fail, its just the tester not wanting his name on the mot if he thinks you may get pulled for noisey exhaust by VOSA so he opts out, its happened to me before. when you think of all the motorbikes screaming about with pieces of scaffolding on it does make you wonder why...

unfortunately not mate no, I intend to get a set of original rims and the spare for a set of 5 for if and when I ever sell the car. well unless the price is right of course, but I warn you quite often I have to have wheels prised from my cold dead fingers, I have something of an issue with...

There's a reason they're rare, they're fappin hideous ;) Gray i'll text u wed let you know plans if any :)

As above! Lol love how well people read threads ;-)

rofl, harsh words ;) oh Gray, thinking of another Mansfield mini meet this week, Thursday night perhaps if you fancy it, dirty burger again ;)

I miss my Williams' :( echo the above, seek out a well looked after example and you will love it

its not for sale yet, I think i'll run it for a bit to enjoy the noise, then when it starts to grate people can form and orderly queue ;) lol! cheers for the comments everyone.

I like parts of both, and none of this mix matching either, just pure phase 1 or pure 182 for me, only phase 2 172 i'd have is a cup, don't like the standard trim ones at all. having said that if I could put the cable throttle onto the 182 i'd be happy, that's the main difference in feel...

the early phase 2's had a sensor in the gearbox where the speedo cable goes, just like the phase 1 cars, later models had a gearbox with no speedo drive and used ABS for speedo you need a box with a speedo drive it sound like, so phase 1 or early phase 2 172 box. get it confirmed first...

pretty sure the spare wont be staying in there folks, it was just in there to collect the car, or maybe Luke kept it there?? not sure either way it will find its way to the shed probably, i'm too tight to be paying the fuel to lug excess weight about ;)

if the car has a standard stereo the money will be better spent on new front speakers, adding rear speakers if they aren't there and a decent head unit :)

Rofl, pretty sure the seat back will just about do the job of saving my noggin ;)

Cheers folks :) Boot tray is fine, bumps a bit over big bumps but no rattles as such. I find the Ktec's very smooth tbh for coilies, goes round corners okay but handles the rough UK roads no danger, good bang for your buck for comfy get low road use imo Ash - knowsit, the proper clio...

mine stops in place as well on the 172, and the mk 1, if you sit them at the right angle and clip them in they should be fine, unless you lads have broken clips??

epic plate :)

I don't think anyone did, he did it on the quiet and scooted off to the south to drive a DCi ;)

For those who are interested, The Boosh's old car (and it was makavelli's before that) will remain in the club :) Got a right drive full now, project thread in the relavent section for those who want to see progress comments and suggestions welcome, although i do have some plans :p...

as above, no sniffs of roughly where the builds at, be nice to see some of the issues being ironed out etc although i spose thats sort of 'top secret'

nice work, although i cant say i'm a massive fan of the wheels but appreciate the effort thats gone into making them fit etc :)

fear ye not Davey boy, mines not on road for a bit anyway ;)

just routed through makavelli's project thread, i have a bit of living upto to do! it was a right minter back in the day wasnt it! must make it as mint, must must must!loool! :) ai Grey man, i intend to visit Dave upon my black superlegs for a slammed, yozza'd, superlegged 182 meet. and cheers...

ultimate traceability! :) i'll nosey over his thread now, cheers for the heads up

possible, i have no idea!lol! has it been in the club since new then, as i think i am only the 3rd owner?

Don't worry chap, i will do her proud...although supposedly its a he and called 'Sharky' god knows why but perhaps its something to do with the fact our lass' car is called 'George' and she wants them to start an aquatic crime fighting team..........

it was a corking buy imo, the car was a credit to Luke tbh, and the niggles are just that, niggles, if i wanted to i could just drive and maintain it and thats it, but i have been itching for another fixer upper since the turbo was dragged kicking and screaming up to scratch :)

cheers John as said, the 2118's may be shifted on but only with a big enough cash carrot dangled in front of me ;) and ai will probs hound Dunc in the week Mick, will let him know you have the bits kickin about, he's gone under the radar again atm! i doubt i'll be going full mad OCD, afterall...

Not decided as yet chap if i'm selling or keeping them, we'll see how funds go, they may look good on the mk 1 ;) Purist??? you have seen the turbo havent you, not the most standard of clios......although i do like to adhere to the cliche of oe+ ;)
