Gutted mate, but running into the back of someones car in the middle of a recession isn't a good idea tbh because a whiplash claim is an easy £1600-2000. Nightmare to lose your NCB though especially when you want to insure the 172. If I lost my NCB i'd be changing my car to a diesel for the...

I'm not a diesel fan atall but i definately should have gone for a dci. Gf's Mum has a dci 80 and it feels far quicker than mine, the 1.2 16v never feels to be pulling hard where as the dci 80 in 2nd/3rd actually does pack a bit of punch. I wouldn't think twice about chopping mine in for...

Only happened to me once, nail in the tyre, major repair. Some pikeys did once let 3 of my tyres down though, thought that they where slashed at first, luckily was just stones in the dustcaps.

I know how you feel mate, although i'm on my 1st car I had the same experience with my scooter, it was only a 50cc yes but it was my baby and at 16 I was very proud to be mobile and it was great fun, about a sporty as a 50cc can be. I'm sure the BMW will be a great replacement though, opens...

s**t I meant St Helens mate. Its definately St Helens, Jord gets his parts off him, and i've spoken to him via PM on here a while back asking where abouts he was from after I seen his car there.

Not bad gains them, but i'd hang on for k-tec's map they're expecting around 125-130bhp. Have a search mate its been brought up many times before.

Will be a beast when the 172 engines in. Very nice as it stands anyway.

Nice but the 172 Yozza Exhaust should have a 3.5" Tip IMO.

They're Awsome TBH!

Jesus, half of your steering wheel must have dripped onto your mats mate. They melt bad enough here. Think I should move to Australia could do with a bit of that weather.

100% Incorrect. The 172 Cup, Ph2 172 and all veriaties of 182 have exactly the same gearbox (except the cups has a speedo drive) and ratio's. The ph1 172 has longer gearing, this had to be shortened to keep the ph2's the same 0-60 time due to the extra weight.

Warrington actually. I'd get over to the Renaultsport website they have a fair few dealers on there, they'll even negotiate deals with you etc, sometimes its worth traveling for the best deal. I've no experience of Renault Warrington, however I know that they are Arnold Clarke who are great...

Sorry to hear this hayley, they best not write it off! Hope its all sorted soon, insurance companies are a waste of time, they should be more government regulated, its not right to have something that is a legal requirement in the hands of private profit making companies. They rape us for...

You will be able to get insurance for circa £1700 i'd think mate. Thats the most i'd pay, intend to get one in August but don't want to pay more than that, otherwise i may be tempted to go for something else like a saxo vts or something.

Could be headgasket mate unfortunately. Park it somewhere with a dry floor for a few hours 1st to make sure theres no leaks.

Ph1 172 FTW

Cnuts.

I was on about Waitey it says in his opening post that he had one at 17? Yours was 18 with 1ncb wasn't it? remember the thread.

How much newer can a 51 plate ph2 be? only 1 year max. If i was you I would 100% change it for a dci 80, lots of torque and a genuine 55-60mpg. I regret not getting one tbh should have waited for a decent one and got it. I'm no diesel fan by any stretch of the imagination however anything...

Brand new mate? You sure you won't end up modding this one? You did say that you wern't modding the ph-quick.

Should be good, you going to do anything about the cambelt that would be a big concern for me? A 172 at 17 :eek: What was your insurance bill like?

Very nice mate.

Ph1 172 is lush! Other two clio's are nice too. Is the 1.4 auto quicker than your 1.2.

Realy nice cars there. They're awsome tbh.

Awsome cars. Our drive comprises a 1.4 16v Mk6 Fiesta Zetec (Dads) 1.3 16v Yellow Micra (Mums) and my 1.2 16v Clio. What do they have in common... they're all crap.

Winner for me got my D40 for £215 at Xmas

ZS interior is ok. About on a par with clio dynamique seats. However anything less than ZS spec and they're horrible hard flat seats. I'm looking forward to seeing the clio finished.

Realy nice motor that mate.

You not going to reveal what it is then?

Not a big deal is it? They're at a meet and its a half empty carpark. They're not being selfish.
