NOTHING! i f**king love it lol same goes for my old 1.2 16v before it too!
both cars handled awesome, both were great fun to drive (1.2 was even more fun to drive than the 172 in some ways!) 172 is pretty quick, 1.2 was ok! lol
1.2 rattled to bits quite a lot due to the fact it was on...
red saxo R457 KDG if thats yours its in it! "I overtake and out-corner everything" lol nice
i got the mag as i quite like the clio, not a fan of the interior but love the colour, wheels are nice but id have raised it a bit more so i could run big spacers to have them filling the arches!
i done a bit of work to an old 2.0 turbo volvo estate a mate bought for a bit of fun and when running more boost the oem induction hose was being sucked closed by the turbos, causing it to drop of power just as it was about to hit max boost.
a bit of samco hosing and it was sorted.
different...
on the motorway sliproad ;)
lol only kidding mate looks awesome, bet its got some amount of torque! was having a look at them as the 172 costs me a bomb to run but their still mega ££££ to buy, maby look at one nearer the end of the year!
extremes a funny one, early ones were spec'd quite well, later ones wernt so well spec'd (the extreme 3 iirc didnt have alloys but had fogs and rear spoiler) extreme 4 had dynamique styling, sports front seats, cheapo back seats with no headrests, trip computer, manual wing mirrors, no rear...
yep exactly, i had one on my 172 but the vibration was too much (didnt seem to notice it on the 1.2 16v as much for some reason!? maby it was due to coilovers and being stripped etc it was more hardcore so wasnt as obvious?
yeah just a 1.4, im sure he bought it crashed or atleast damaged, and has spent thousands on it, i kinda know him through a mate, hes still at school to iirc!
you dont want to change the cambelt its to much money?! haha thats quote of the year on here!!
you do realise what happens when the cambelt snaps, like they do when their not changed, dont you?
na just a sports cat.
i had a powerflow twin 3" cat back on mine from motorsport world, sounded brilliant, even better when decated! (home made decat like foxy)
heres a video without the decat...

i used to use fully synthetic millers in my 1.2 16v ever 4k! bit overkill but it never done it any harm obviously!
172 i do every 8k as i cant afford to do it any less lol
looking at getting a set of 15" wheels for the summer and can get a cheap set of F1 Cups, anyone got any pics so i can get an idea what it'll look like?
