lol seriously? U the lad with the Minted sunlower ph1?:cool:

Fair comment mate, there are alot of dodgy ones out there but id get a late auction grade 4 model straight from japan from a reputable dealer. Same as all honda's mate even there motor bikes are the same, you have to rev the tiits off it to get it to move. I had a brief altercation with one...

I know alot of guys on here paint the numbers on there badges? Can someone tell me how this is done neatly? Is it just a tape up with laquer and spray paint jobby or what>? Its the 2.0 16v badge on the side???

Standard brakes? Tool

VTS ftw!:o

"alot faster...." Special clio for a special boy:rolleyes:

That was silly, shoulda bought a FF and put the turinis on it:rolleyes:

Well i spoke to a lad over at www.ek9.org and hes gonna take me out in his Ek9 at some point over the week end so i shall get back to you all with my opinion! As for the Ek9 being quicker than a teg? I really dont know thats an open book as far as im concerned but im damn confident that it...

Very good point mate^^^ Theres no doubt about it that insurance is the achillies heal of the 172/182's!

See rather than spending the money on re-mapping and making the 1600cc going faster are you not better spending the money on a Ph1 or Ph2 172? I would!

Would it not be cheaper to spray it?

Nice mate, question though not regarding the suspension... you have done the 2.0 16v badges yellow at the side, how is this done? Taped up carefully and sprayed or what?

If i could get £3750 for my Ph1 id sell it, walk to work for a few months then happily buy one! Bognor you tease lol

The ek9 would comfortably beat a 182 never mind a 172. 185bhp @ 8300rpm 0-60 - 5.9

I tell you what mate i cant look directly at they pictures cause ill buy one tomorrow lol

lol, you can just tell your a Honda owner. love it haha

That looks the bollox's^^^ Love it! Could anyone photoshop one on a Ph1 With antracite wheels please?

Those wheels and carbon bonnet ftw!

Really? ahhhh right i never new they done a 2.0 petrol variant...! Learn somthing new everyday!

Thats serious cash for a diesel clio. Is the person considering any other diesel?

Agreed. I would have thought being the, dare i say benchmark 172 they would have put some sort of recaro/reno sport emblum'd seat in it...

Bla bla, cup'd 182's only look good in my mirror:rasp:

lol, yeah thats the image am goin for... Kitchen Sink drivin a Teg lol You cant beat a Honda for an all-rounder the only thing that bothers me is that you have to severley spank its wee arse to get the most from it, thus making very poor MPG. Had a civic before the 172 and for build quality...

Yes yes and yes, ur bang on. Better handling id maybe put down to whos behind the wheel but thats neither here nor there. Its love or hate with the Ek9 but im a lover:rasp:

I thought about these, a bit more common that the Ek9, although for about 6k you probaly couldnt get a more resonable front wheel drive car! More tourque aswell but ive just always wanted the ek9 since Gran Turismo!:o The ek9s quicker to 60 but the teg would have it to 100!

Insurance is the same as the 172, ive looked well into it, its just a bit daunting buying somthing from over-seas!

Yeah agreed but its that old story with the reliability front. And yeah fuel consumption is pretty horrendous for a n/a 1600cc from what i gather combined its little over 27mpg :(

Ive only had the Ph1 for 4 months and still very much love it but i usually change my car once a year (bad habit)... Ive always wanted a Civic Ek9 in white and am thinkin about prematurley getting one, what does everyone think?

"modern" cars dont stay modern for long. Cars go out of date like milk:o

Eye candy for a few months until they bring out a facelift. Wont be long till the thread "Remember the Mk3 anyone...."
