Insurance quote sounds good to me! As long as you can afford the monthly repayments on the car as well tho!! It does annoy me thinking that all that money is coming out of my account every month, but then a quick spin in my Cup changes my mind pronto! :)

Quote: Originally posted by Pete on 27 January 2005 I enjoy driving it and do love the car, but I do appriciate at the end of the day its really is just a Clio with a bigish engine, its still badly put together and unreliable.However you cant get quicker for the same money (Im talking new...

I love my car.... but its replacable!

The kid may have thought the Skyline was having a slow day, probably had its mast down. It is a boat after all isnt it?? :devilish:

I know how you feel, salesmen can be complete tools!! Luckily never really had that response myself, but often when going with mates to look at cars they have given the big you cant afford this car/insurance speech. Fine Ill go to the next garage and afford it there!

Got the filter also, does the job nicely. I was thinking of going for a custom cat back next, but not sure whether to go Powerflow or not, some people have said theyre so good, others say theyre crap!

If theyre straight reno sport, or 172 Cup ones then I would be interested in one set anyway!

They are great.... but its icey out there today, so try to take it easy, at least until you know the limits of the car a bit better!! Congrats on the purchase and good luck with it!!

182blue: I fancy getting those exact those cup 172 ones that you had, but on JustMatz they dont seem to have Cup 172 as a logo option, how did you explain to them what u wanted? And are they classic, deluxe, or executive? And whats the differences between them? Apart from colours...

Elephant were a rip off for me too (over 4k), Im 22 with 1 years no claim bonus and driving since I was 17. Try direct line and tescos they were the cheapest quotes I got.

Quote: Originally posted by Little Newms on 19 January 2005 LOL!!!! No they change my hole dial center at reno, i was on 13,800 before they changed it..... Now sits at 1,400 Surely Reno should have changed the reading as the car has still covered those miles? Still all good for you I...

Quote: Originally posted by Little Newms on 19 January 2005 Mine rolled over to 1400 (yes 1,400) :p Do you only drive it to the local shop and back once a week?? lol. Mines now on 16400 I tend not to worry about the milage, I do 250 miles a week to work and back plus all the extra...

I wish I could afford the £10 to f*ck my engine up :)

Focus [shudder] I think the Racing Pumas look smart and are suppose to be a damn good drive, but well its all said and done, its a bit girly, even more so than a clio!! lol

You dont buy a clio sport for build quality, you buy it because you want all the fun of driving a hot hatch for as little price as possible!! Id recommended a 172 / 182 any day of the week!

The driving position is too high!! But you can get Recaro seats on the 182 as an option soon, which are lower. (So I have read here somewhere)

According to parkers, all 172 / 182 / Cup versions are group 16.

Quote: Originally posted by cat171 on 12 January 2005 welcome, i was quoted less for a cup than a normal 172 for some reason !! Weird everywhere quoted me more, the range was quite large as normal with insurance quotes. Im with direct line and if I remember rightly it was about £60...

Quote: Originally posted by craig20102010 on 12 January 2005 as in if i pay 2k now for it to be fixed outa my pocket then i still got insurence to pay for but if i claim off insurence then ive got ther insurnce to pay for which soposedly will be £1500 about and ive then got the insurence paid...

As long as your insurance allows you to take out airbags. If you have no airbag where there should be one as standard on that model then you are driving without insurance anyway! Call your insurance company and say youre thinking of putting it bucket seats and see what they say.

It doesnt matter how much you claim, a claim is a claim! It really depends on certian circumstances, but expect a hike!

Defo tell them its a Cup, mine was a bit more expensive for the "cheap" version, maybe because we saved on the car we just have to pay it out more on insurance! Doesnt make it cheap then does it? :p Clearly its better and thats why it costs more to insure :o

Cheers guys! Why increased for motorway driving?? What difference would this have on taking corners? I do long roads to work and back, but then like to have fun at night / weekend by throwing it around a bit, so best sticking with the manual pressures I guess!

Quote: Originally posted by Little Newms on 10 January 2005 30 and 33 i belive? 33 on the rear? Cheers! Can anyone confirm this?

You dont need to get it serviced at Reno, though some people will argue it looks better when you come to sell it!
