    Why replicate?

    wow, my first car was a Corsa Merit 1.5 diesel no turbo's, not even a glovebox. and that was 1800 quid for my first years' insurance.

    Why replicate?

    not really, I just wondered. I'm not after an argument :o

    Why replicate?

    I guess the image thing carries weight, since the Campus Sport wound up with the RS bumper (or something similar)

    Why replicate?

    there's good reason for that tho. and how much do all the body trimmings add to the insurance of a Clio shopping edition?

    Why replicate?

    I'm just wondering Why do people build "replica" RS cars? I mean, especially now, by the time you've taken a 1.2 dynamique and slapped all the bodywork and wheels on it and got it sprayed surely you've spent as much if not more than buying a 1x2 i the first place? I can't see how it would...

    Windscreen Cracked

    go though your insurers, normally about £50 to be replaced, wont hurt your no claims either.

    White 'charged' 172 - Fresh Pics

    mint my only "not sure of" is the steering wheel, but I guess it feels better than it looks! :approve: Is this a turbo or supercharger?

    Using iphone as a mass storage device

    I dont believe you can on iPhone / iPod touch. You can on the classic iPods for sure, but not the touch-screen jobbies (although I could easily be wrong here). All considered though, you could get a 1gb usb pen the size of a credit card and keep it in a wallet. it'll still always be with...

    Renault Sport Gordini Announced.

    wasted opportunity. could have used the Gordini tag on a "trophy" style special edition. Something with substance, not just a cynical wheels 'n' stickers exercise.

    HSDPA Speed Test

    not the greatest, HSDPA can run 'up to' 7mpbs, but that's in ideal conditions (which dont exist in the real world). you'll get the same results from a USB modem, Mi-Fi router or phone anyway, providing it's a decent handset (which the X1 is) I use Joikuspot on my E75 and it works really well

    Clio 169.9 BHP

    Thought it might have been too easy an answer to the quetion. with this in mind, all the loss-calculations aside, how much does a 172 actually put to tarmac?...Or have i just answered my own question?

    Milltek v Yozza

    my system may need doing at next MOT, wondering how much is:- Renault official part Pattern part quiet stainless (suggestions welcome) Going onto ph2 172, no bumper mods wanted thanks in advance

    Clio 169.9 BHP

    manufacturers quote outputs from the flywheel on a dyno, rolling roads give output at the wheels so there's, like, transmission lossed 'n' junk to factor in. Yeah, RR's calculate a lot of this out, but even so 180 brake at the flywheel wont mean 180 at tarmac-level. that's as much as I know...

    Clio In-Car Satnav...

    you wont get it to be any more "advanced" than it is now, map updates are as future-proof as it'll get. I was gonna say just replace the unit, until I noticed you've got a huge cowling that'd then be redundant. so a new HU & auxiliary screen would be in order, now it's starting to run into...

    Got my eye on this 172...

    there's quite a few around your way http://www.autotrader.co.uk/search/used/cars/renault/clio/postcode/gu71ab/radius/40/seller-type/trade_adverts/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/sort/priceasc/price-to/3000 the Mk.2's look decent value

    You'll never guess what I've bought!

    Yellow fogs, awesome

    is this normal on a 172???

    Since RS Clio's are 10-a-penny (Autotrader for 2-litre clios and you're away!), it's a buyers market....unless you want a Mk.1, or a V6....... or a trophy

    Spec me a replacement phone - Orange

    http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/SONY-ERIC-W350I/PPAY a good handset with all the features you mention. the camera isn't the greatest, but for less than £50 all-in, you cant ask for too much. plenty of memory for photos, or music if you prefer. data leads and...

    Clio S

    ooo, an 80's special edition!? there's always hope of a Twingo GT-Turbo, complete with yellow fog lights!

    all the meet details go on the Calendar section I'm guessing? :o

    Clio S

    See there's another special edition doing the rounds? Clio S http://www.renault.co.uk/cars/model/new-clio/clio-s.aspx WHY? The GT almost has a case for itself for being the "warm" hatch, like a Suzuki Swift Sport. But this looks purely like taking an entry-level bogger, stick some wheels...

    March 6/7 was the plan for meet wasn't it? welcome aboard fresh blood. a bit of non-canon advice, use renault rims! Then they'll look like they should be there (hate aftermarket junk!)

    Lincoln Meet - March 2010

    Lincoln meet, could go to the indoor karting? we used to pay £40 for qualifying and 2 races A 'trip' to skegness isn't great, the backroads from, say, Boston to Louth, via Horncastle are far better, have no cameras and less chance of seeing ECILOP coming round the corner or sitting in a layby

    Check Out These "Lovely" Ph1 172...

    surely you can't seriously be thinking of removing the "aerodynamic aids"? No doubt they were fitted so you could take seconds out of lap times! :rasp::D

    Phase 1 vs Phase 2

    P2 styling is more contemporary, if that matters to you? Works better as a sleeper as most people cant tell one apart from a 1.2 Campus. p2 you can have cruise & climate n stuff too, which is nice.
