If you have a deposit note saying the car ,reg and model with deposit paid and youve still got it then youve got them by the short and curlys,you could chase it through a small claims court and make them source you another one of similar standard and offer it to you at the same price that was...
I think its a great addition to an already great stable,from 16vs to v-6s im sure itll find its slot near the top and do us all proud against other hatches like ctr and stuff.
I know the ctr is bigger but its still got a hatch and it wont stop the comparisons being made on here or other...
Had mine done in the summer last year,its a b*****d of a job and theyll keep it all day.Bonet off,wipers off etc,etc,and its rite underneath it all.look at it in the daylight and youll see what i mean.
Good luck,

True visceral,very true and to muppets that we all are when it comes to driving we need ABS. 99.9% of people here are just average drivers and when we hit that pedal we need the assistance of ABS.
Just because people own cups doesent make them invinsible and when the sh*t hits the fan ill be...
Down the back of the engine you can see the speedo cabl egoing into a pod with about four other cables.There is a shinny metalic cover on top.Remove this and push down on all the wires,its probably just loose.Its all electrically linked so needs to be in place to help the rest of your gadgets to...
The 172 may not feel as raw but youll still get a hell of a drive.They handle just as well as a williams and are slightly quicker to the ton.So if it does that youve still got a quick car.

I really dont think they have moved the game on enough to warrant another model name,i mean would it be so hard to give it a little more noticable power.Its a poor excuse when they could of made something to beat a civic type R quite easily.
Somehow i think the people at the top didnt want to...
The wings are sprayed the same but because they are plastic they dont take the same shade as the metal ones.The only reason we have plastic ones is so we can run over people better to conform to EU safety crap and it helps the cruple zones on the inner wings...

P.S id imagine they have...
Has anyone noticed that when you are in the rain and you pull down once on the wiper the sensative wipers come on.YES.....Ok when you select the next clunk down the wipers work constantly.YES...Some times the rain just doesnt fall in accordance with my wipers and im forever going from sensative...
Why only jump up a bit when you could go for a 172 engine.Ok youd have to upgrade a bit of kit like brakes etc,etc but why spend all that money for 400cc when you could really make a difference...On the other hand you could just save some money and buy a 172,its probably a dear doo.

The first owner of my car got it from motorpoint and had it for seven months before i bought it with 7k on the clock.Its an april 02 172 and i paid £9800,ive had it over a year now and i dont think i would get a lot less for it now,a proper bargain if i do say so myself.
Still not gonna sell...
I like both models to be fair but i dont think we are looking at a legend in the making.
For a start F1 was not involved in the cup like the williams so the heritage is not there for the cup.I think its quite poor that the williams is involved in this,it should be left alone to wallow in glory...
The cup racer does 0-60 in 6.0 but carries 196 bhp/tonne.It laps bedford autodrome in 1.24.95
The road cup laps the autodrome in 1.26.30 and carries 171 bhp/tonne so only a 1.5 sec difference on the racer
Just out of interest,the new m3 laps it in 1.26.85 and the subaru wrx does it in...
Its a nightmare job,so let renault do it.I saw mine with the bonnet off, the wipers and then wires everywhere...I think its all to do with the extra swing on the wipers that gives them the headache.But yes get them to order the part first or fill up your bottle in the showroom to convince them...
Personal choice will prevail,for me it depends what your doing with it.If your gonna own it for three yrs then get the gadgets,you will enjoy climate control but if youve never had it then you cant miss it.
I would love to swap my 172 for a week with a cup to see the difference,or sell my...
EVO are having a competition this month to win a trackday at the bedford autodrome.It is part of renaults trackday experiences and you can get a go in the new megane 225,the clio cup and the cup racer.
All you have to do is go onto evo.co.uk">evo.co.uk and answer the 0-60 time of the new...
Dont touch till you get someone from chipsaway to look at it,i would not try to do it yourself.
You are not a robbot in a factory and that will show when you try to mix paint and put it on your car..

Theyll certainly loose a lot of money by not telling them whats in the job.
But not to worry,once k-tec get their 250 bhp clio turbo from mexico l.a.d will be wishing they were more honest to there customers.3 grand is a lot of money for head work that i dont believe for a minute gives you 30...
If i were to have it done i would have to leave the car alone as in no badges on it to indicate my new found performance.
I can just see the look on all those ctr peoples faces.
Regards,ian
my wipers have started to make a horrible creaking sound.its not from the wiper itself but from inside the mechanism where the arms go.any ideas anyone..
