I had a saxo VTS before the 172 and what a diffrence! Saxo was a great wee car, 172 would shag it though lol

I can just see the post..... "How to deploy airbags....." lol

Im 21 on my Phase one 172 Insurance is £1297. Two non fault claims and one fault (happened to be a write off...)

Are you skipping the age of 20? lol Or do all the Isle of Wighter's go from 19 to 21 lol Why the 16" wheels? Whats wrong with the ones you have on at the moment?

Yeah like a 75% - 25% split of power distribution>? I know porsche have a great traction system it works really well for the launch control and the like

My bro just got a milltek for his Fiesta ST along with the viper induc kit and according to some estimates it should be rolling between 150-178bhp Hes getting cosworth cams that should take it anpther 13bhp. We are going to AVI rolling road next week!

Your car still has warranty? IF its renaults extended then it should do!

Sorry i assumed we were talking aout the new model of S3 (265bhp) Well if its the old model (pre 2004) then i would think the clio would maybe stand a chance, even at that though im sure the S3's were quattro drive?

No hard driving til oil level is up!

265bhp? i cant see it!

You said feel a pea in the road, are you taking it to the south of france for the summer>? Its not exactly a Merc for comfort, and i dont think renault intended to make it that way!

Agreed, the 172 cup was purpose built. Track use. The only reason they put indicators on it is to get you to the track lol

That should be garaged and cherished, are there even any left in this condition>?

Where did you get these, also are they on standard callipers?

PMSL Seriously though mate how the f**k did that happen, where did he put your money when you gave him it? Straight into the swag bag with the silver candle holders?:rasp:

Absolutley mate couldnt agree more but if its fuel economy your worried about then its no Focus Diesel is it?

They all have twin exhausts buddy, it depends what your after creature comforts or all out driving?

All the way up to 155mph, lovley, as the 400 hammers past upto 176

True but even so still poor!

Right so the 197bhp Golf, faster than the Clio Mk1 172? I thought so until the other night... So we are sitting at the lights and i pulled away kept up with him until 4th gear he got in front of me marginally (half a car length) but he wasnt for getting away from me, i though these were faster...

Or a cliff edge, either way society wins lol

Am i right in saying standard these made 130bhp? Very nice example mate, kudos!

Nothing beats an old shagged 1400 cc polo, i think that may be my next car. This guy sounds like a bit of a tosser mate. I owned a VTS before my 172 and, yes it does handle better and the sax was dropped 30mm.

Theres no point in mulling over what your going to get MPG wise mate, if you drive it everywhere below 300rpm then theres a good chance itll stay above 35-37, drive it for what it was built for then it will sit at 31-32. If you want good fuel economy dont buy it, thats not what its for! I...

Buy a Horse, a big white horse

I think it might have been, hes a great mechanic aswell he was kicking himself when he done it im just gutted ill be off the road until wednesday!

Okay then so the M5, 499BHP with 520Nm-384Lb-Ft Torque Limted to 155mph and 0-60 in 4.5s, it weighs 1830K'gs ------------------- The lancer has 410bhp and 481Nm~355Lb-ft Torque Itll do 176mph and has a 0-60 of 3.5, it weighs 1470Kg's >>> So the M5 has 90BHP more to justify the extra...

I know its proving ever difficult to get one, its a part that i suppose someone would keep stocked:(

Right so the bearing needed done on the rear of my car so my dad changed it for me but when he tightened it back up the Thrush Washer broke, this is the piece that goes into the rear of the rear brake disc. Can anyone help me get one ASAP, Renault cant get me one until Thursday, but i cant...
