both are a bit pony really.

buy a 172 lump and whack it in your 1.2 shell lol bit of a sleeper

a 106 GTi would be a good shout. nice little cars

yep. only went on my dads insurance for the first year of driving as I got a quote of 1800 on a 1.2 clio.

I was 19 when I got mine. Worth every penny on insurance. 1600 squids

Sounds awesome when booting it. A bit boomy on the motorway, between about 65 and 75 mph, but otherwise its perfect. Fits great, no rattles or anything

Exhaust is GDI system. :)

cheers for the feedback peeps. prob going to take the one off the rear. Still need a 197 renault sport badge for the rear too!

lol @ the people getting mardy about it. Was only asking for peoples opinions cos theres a new age of hot hatches now that focus a lot on power and power delivery. Just wanted to know if you thought that would phase out the older NA hot hatches such as the 1*2s VTS' etc.

yeah definitely, if I wanted a 300bhp car I would get an AWD jap turbo. Its similar to the scenario of the german exec saloons, they are now pushing ridiculous bhp figures in a bid to out power one another.

Maybe hothatch is just a fairly broad spectrum. I would say an R26 is superior to a 1*2 or 197, yet they are all classed as hot hatches.

I think it's the remapping too though. the new cupra r will pump out 300 bhp post remap. Thats mad. you'd be lucky to get about 5 bhp off an NA car such as a 1*2

Generally things are more popular as the do look better in the majority of peoples opinions. You could put 18" amir khans on your clio if you want but expect 99% of people to say it looks sh*t. Turinis look good and they are practical (lightweight, good size etc), the splitter beefs up the front...

It's becoming more and more apparent that for a car to be classed as a hot hatch these days it needs to be 220 bhp + and turbo charged and easily tunable. For me, the likes of the 1*2s, 206 GTis, saxo VTS etc, aren't hot hatches anymore. It's a shame. I'm going to write to Renault and request a...

bloody beast, how much was it if you don't mind me asking?

are my posts invisible?:dapprove: lol

k-tec mate http://k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=977

looks toight. But who the f**k uses 7 grand wax on a clio. sort your life out mate. I would only use that if I had a supercar or maybe a classic vintage car worth more than my house.

I thought it was the clio badge that's pinned on at the renault badge is "stuck" on?

I'm going to try covering the holes up tonight :) If that doesn't work, might think about getting the wind screen re-sealed

They look better cut into the bumper :)

cheers pal. I'm not sure about the meet yet. I'll have to see nearer friday. Will be good to meet some peeps if I do though :) take it you'll be going??

I'd pay around 250-300 for second hand one. apparently its a bit of a pain to fit

zetec s is about 10 secs to 60 and 1.2 clio is around 13 secs

I love the R26. parked next to one at Renault last week and it's a complete beast compared to my measily 172. Pics are good but don't do the car justice. Might look into one next year, hoping they are a little cheaper

lol not really considering coilovers are about 600-700 quid and another 200 for getting them set up properly. ;) Cheers to ben for fitting the shocks today. Can't wait to see your 172 track car when it's finished!! Gonna be a monster. Let me know about the Wilwoods next week :approve: Ste

I had to rip a little hole in the carpet type material under the bonnet to get a power cable through for a sub

I've got my F1 stick on the otherside on the bonnet and the another on the boot under the clio badge. looks spot on mate

195-200bhp probs
