Thanks for the feedback chris. I think i'm going to go down the 172 route when i change next year then. Probably ph1 and have it as a project to make it a hobby aswell.
Yes the ticking is the CAT cooling down. My 50cc moped used to tick like a b**ch. And the idle sounds normal mate, my 1.2 16v idles at circa 600 rpm once warm, i thought it was a problem but its normal.
Re: One years ownership!!
Looks good mate, thats the route i'd go for modding it over a period of time, keeps you interested and good to see the car gradually improve.
Lots of people have on the forum. If you like ur clio's your only other option is a 1.6 and although they're a good upgrade, there not 1*2 pace.
And also its only as fast as you put your foot down. plenty of people have safely made the change
When i get my sport i'm definately having it decat'd they sound awsome and make it more driveable. Can always find someone willing to bodge an mot for you. or just stick it back on whist you have mot
Re: rear brake disc convertion!

That corsa must have been a beast. Its something that i'd have a play with in my 1.2 16v thinking it was a 1.2/4 and just get owned. Although with corsa's you never know whats under the bonnet.
Tbh i'm keeping mine standard i think and saving for a sport. If i don't get a sport next year i will lower it and put a ktec induction kit on just for some sound. But only mods that are easily reversible because mygoal is to be in my own mint 182 within 2 years. Thats when the (tasteful) mods...
Some bad ones here. I didnt take any pics of mine as it went in for repair the next day. I couldnt take any pics i was so gutted. Needed a wing, bumper and headlight. Renault had it on their ramp the other day and said it was fine though, they said its been in an accident, not a big one and...
Well with springs your limited to -40mm. With coilovers providing they are well set up will give better handling than springs and will go down to -80mm i think. H & R's are suposed to be your best bet, but this comes at a price.
