Yes but that would be money well spend it the cambelt snapped and you needed a new engine... But as sods law would have it the car would run like forever and a day lol

Oh so you owned it??? What were the other colour options? if there were any? Id have done the same to be honest, its a rare car as it is without owning one in the only colour lol

Yeah take the fuse out, and hold your breath as the brick wall approaches lol

Why would they make just the one tho?

The alacantra (if thats what its called) In my car has started showing very slight signs of wear, is there anywhere that i could have the seats re-upholstered to the same degree it left the factory? Its not that bad yet but i dare say in the coming year it would be a shout? Anywhere in...

A+ on spelling :o

I got mine for £3700, one owner (although it needed belts) even so still a bargain as its only got 47k on!

£3500 should get you a minter if its a Ph1 mind and make sure all the belts have been done this is a major haggling point if it hasnt!

You have issues my friend lol:rasp:

Phor real? lol

Exact same thing happened to me the other day, car was firing on 3 cylinders,car was seriously lacking in power so asked the old boy (mechanic) and he said it could be one of three things... 1. Coil pack 2. HT leads 3. Sparks Changed the sparks and although the car was igniting fine the car...

Lovley mate looks like you got a nice example, i came from a VTS to the 172 and i loves it aswell, funny after 3 months im still not bored! Welcome!

lol @ track slags^

a racoon perhaps?

Ach well this site is very opinionated which i can deal with and plus, the only time i see phase 2's is in my rear view mirror :evil: *is that a can of worms i heard opening*

Well you have got to step back and look at the ever rising costs of fuel as this is a big part of performance car ownership... I dont think id fancy owning two cars (or at least MOT'ing servicing and insuring two cars) Still everyones circumstances are different, RS ftw

You own a phase 2 dont you, i can just tell:nono:

With no dis-respect to the exclusive owners, at a glance they dont look like renault sports (mainly as the colour doesnt show off the wider stance the car carries,same as the black one i reckon) Still, i havent seen one in the flesh, but i do still like

More toys? Like what? Xenon headlights arent toys, and seats are seats. As far as im concerned there comfortable to sit on for 3-400 miles at a time. The Ph1 isnt a stripped out drag car its a car designed for people wanting that extra oomph were it permits...

Agreed, phase one for the winner, looks the danglies as it stands... Disagree with putting Ph2 bumpers and things on (not saying i dont like it, just not my cuppa) Ph1 for me everytime!

Ah right so its the same colour as that Ph2 colour if its iceberg? Nah its defo Titanium then, thank christ, wasnt sure for a minute! I dont like when people butcher the Ph1 with the Ph2 bumper, think it takes the Ph1 look away. I dont see why people just buy a Ph2 in the first instance:o

Intresting, which were the rarer? * * Think it might be Manly titanium:o

To go off thread a minute... How can i tell if my Ph1 is a Titanium or Iceberg? It was registered on march 1st 2001???

Thats no mans land for me lol

I suppose the 197 will be a bit more friendly on the wallet insurance wise, again economy isnt a million miles away. For the sake of depreciation (not that anything with renault on it keeps it) id buy a 197 for re-sale value. Personally for the money id spend the ten grand on a Focus RS...

Nah carbon ftw

It doesnt look bronze upon a glance, very deeo colour, it look mint on a 182/172

back bonnet rasing very valver lol Nice mate love the colour!

I changed mine after the car was running on 3 cylinders, did you do the HT leads aswell as the coil?

This is a very bleak look at car ownership mate, your quoting all these prices but lets face it, from garage to garage there night and day. You sound like you wanna give the trees a hug:rasp:
