I am just about to go to the pub but i'll be watching that on my return!!!! :D

What the fcuk is that all round the arch and the sill?? I'm going to be brutally honest, don't waste your money on it. I mean that in the nicest possible way.

FLOL!!! You're mental.

So you tried to sell it to me?? Thanks, c**t.

£2795. Belts done, recent brakes, rear shocks replaced, steering wheel retrimmed.... All of these jobs are where the 172/182's fall down. Perfect for what you want really! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?595096-Clio-172-Cup-2002-52-£2795

Possibly the most contradicting retarded statement of the day. Congrats.

Just looking again, that engine looks proper clean!

They are slow. fact. Where they excel though is that they cost peanuts (relatively) to get them up to good BHP and Torque.

Its bank holiday...

Because they weigh about 44 tonnes.

I'm pretty confident my Seat Leon 110 tdi is quicker than that. They're poo unless they're modded.

WOW!!!! Just read through the whole thread, amazing work!

If you pay on a credit card, they will charge you a fee. (anything between 2 and about 6%) But thats obviously a lot cheaper than the £1800 they want.

FFS. I wish my wife was you.

But he'll look well sick blud.

BADBOY84 wants to get his car to a similar standard to a saxo or a corsa?? I have highlighted the issues.

we were selling 182's like you wouldn't believe. He's lucky he got any discount!!

I sold that when it was Brand new, to my Mate Matt. :D Nice to see its back, he'll be devastated. Said it was the worst automotive decision he's ever made! lol.

If it was stone cold when you took it out then they bog down. Takes a good 20 minutes for them to warm up properly. They are no faster/slower than a 182. They just feel slower because they are bigger and more solid.

Only the JDM scene boys would think its cool to own a ''Whale Penis Induction Kit''

Just had a quick look on ebay, Valves are £3 each Gasket set is £20-ish Belt kit and tensioner is £60. If you're doing it yourself thats not a lot to worry about mate, and think of the experience you'll get!

Comparing a BMW to a Renault Clio is just rediculous. You need to establish what you want before you go any further. A cheap hot hatch thats made of plastic and rattles and brilliant to drive or a well built executive car?

Ahh, I see.

I wouldn't bother replacing the head, just rebuild what you've got. Alternatively, I bought an entire engine for £180 delivered on a pallet from a breakers in Leeds. My mechanic fitted a new belt kit to it and fitted the engine for £150. (I had a 1.1 8v that threw a hissy fit on the M6 and...

Meat DJ, where did you see it??

Oh fcuking hell, I thought it was a 172! Oh in that case panic over, those things are cheap as chips to repair. I've no fcuking clue how to go about it as I have a mechanic, but honestly nothing on them engines is expensive.

I was nearly right, must have been registered on the same day! lol.

I'm 99% sure that belonged to darren on here. Px'd with me for a 225. I then sold it to another member, he then had to give it to someone to pay off a debt, buyer then sold it on ebay and then he then sold it on ebay never to be seen again. Used to be stripped out, buckets and harnesses...

At the end of the day, you pay cheap you pay twice. As harsh as that sounds, 99% of the time its true. However, I'd get the car looked at before you start worrying. Where is your nearest specialist? (BTM, Birchdown, 519Automotive, Tour de Force would be my only choices)
