Was a good meet. I found out that 197's handle better than ph1's on the way home too. Almost sideways round a roundabout then spinning to the limiter as you come off in 2nd isnt good. Fun though. Thanks to Ste aswell for helping me avoid the M60.

Typical Reanult. If you buy a brand new car you expect it to be right. Shouldn't be going back in after 8 weeks. Hope all gets sorted for you mate.

Proper car this Kev. I haven't read all of the thread so I may be asking a repeat question but any future plans for forced induction or anything?

We'll make the most of it naith. NW meets are usually eventful anyway. As for eating in a car, my grandad had a toyota picnic about 10 years ago. The middle seats folded down into tables complete with cup holders and you sat in the back seats so you had a proper table and chair. Was awesome.

There are some nobs these days. Hopefully it will all have come off john.

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 I'd love a SC conversion. After seeing thejesus's at the NW meet i'm hooked it sounds epic with the SC. Properly fast too, the scooby owner must have been gutted.

Its a great car for a student Chris. I'm going to be a full time student as of September. It will open up a whole new world of pot noodles and cheap cider. Look forward to seeing it looking fresh again.

Idiot. I want a bike but I'd never ride it like that.

Love it gaz. Can't wait to have a look at it. What sort of power will it push out twhen its on the 1.6 bar of boost?

I'd prefare it to stay n/a. However it won't. I like the character of the F4R so the they'll need to make the new turbo engine carefully so it doesnt end up like a VAG turbo engine.

AG's awesome. Top decision.

Its hard to get my car dirty. I haven't cleaned my car for about 3 week got about 400 wet and dirty motoway miles on it plus my usual day to day trips and yesterday my mate goes oh your cars clean. Impossible to make a silver car dirty.

My Clio used to feel fast but it doesn't to me now realy. However it felt faster than a mates brand new Mini Cooper S, despite the fact the speedo's on the same road where around the same. In reaity the Mini should be a bit quicker but didn't feel it, however I don't think the auto box helped...

Re: N/W Xmas Meet Sunday 13th December There are a few in the NW. It will likely be chill factor. There is also stockton heath and southport if anybody fancies a run out. Trafford centres a definate no its too busy.

Stunning group of cars. The Vee still has the most presence of any hatch back imo. It just beats the FRS for me.

Good upgrade mate. Enjoy it.

Looks mint Danny. Glad to see your after another ph1 172. It ensures me I made the right choice between a 106 GTI and 172.

You where making a decent pace considering the conditions. What happened with yuor spin? Looks like life off oversteer. How fast where you going when you spun? Must have been scary.

Looks very good.

Defo go for it. Haven't driven one but I was realy considering one before I got my ph1.

Looks brilliant Chris. Needs some renaultsport dials in though to finish it off. Does it rattle? The thing that would put me off is creating even more rattles in the car.

Sky insruance 'offer' is crap. They exclude a load of postcodes including Warrington which I come under. That quote is pretty high considering your age and experience Chris. My insurance is £1300, if it doesn't come down a few hundred quid next year I may get rid of the car. I'm going to Uni...

Re: RenaultSport Clios - great on the right road, rubbish the rest of the time. Discu I agree in parts. I think the people who sometimes doubt their car are people like me who mainly drive around town a lot. If you take it out and show it some bends, roundabouts etc it produces a grin from...

I've had a few "what engines in this" comments off mates, and thats just driving around generally not even booting it. They do feel pretty quick as a passanger. When i'd been out in somebodys RS Clio when I had my 1.2 I remember thinking how quick it felt. Now my car doesn't feel that...

I like it a lot mate. Will be even better with the F4R in.

Yours is the reason i've decided to get some. Mine just looks that bit too high where as yours looks just right.

I find my car has loads of flat spots and is generally rough and lumpy when its cold. Once its been running for 5-10 mins its nice and smooth again.

Re: My 1.4 from start to current (not finished) I'm a big fan of this car mate. If you wern't selling i'd say get xenons and get it colour coded. Similar plans with the 172?

I'm getting some next week :approve: Not sure when they'll be fitted though probably after xmas with a few other bits I want.
