They should do a supercharged V6 model with a roof-mounted intake!

I think RS are going to have some tough decisions to make if they continue the spec increase of the Clios. I dont know the exact list price of a V6, but Ill guess its approx double that of a 182. Ok, it may have 255 horses at the moment, but if a 192, or even 200 brake normal Clio enters the...

j3ned - I pissed my sides at the pics of your Clio! Bang on m8! :D I thought you would have gone OTT and put wings, spoliers, bodykits, etc on the thing, but it just looks so normal for the most part. Brilliant - keep it like it is. It must be great to be alongside what would normally be...

At the end of the day, weve only paid £11k-£14k for a bloody decent, fun handling, quick little car. There are many other makes and models out there that people are paying well over £20k for and dont expect to see half that in 3 years time. Yes, it will lose value, especially when (if) a newer...

Part of mine had unclipped/unhinged already...... :cry:

Compensation Culture rings true again. I think most people (with the exceptions of the knob drivers mentioned above) are sh*t scared to be honest and tell you that theyve hit your car. Ive personally heard of people who have witnessed someone put a minor scratch into their car and then...

Interesting - I used to really like the Contis on my other car. The Exaltos are great for the most part, but feel a little twitchy at times.... D.

Jealous t**sers... Bad news m8 - nothing ever happens to people that do this type of thing, does it? D.

Top drawer vid! :D It looks borderline uncontrollable! D.

Sorry guys - those wheels suck big time. They look like them awful multi-spindle/multi-spoke things that were on 3-series BMWs a few years back. At least you dont have the hassle of cleaning them on GT4 though ;) D.

Heheh - imagine the timings of their V6 brothers then?? :)

Just buy MikeCs wheels off him - they look great imo! :D Ive got some piccies of 17"s on my previous Punto GTt. It had standard suspension too, so it may give you a better idea of how your Clio will look, like for like before you lower it? Ill dig them out tomorrow. They were Momo Evo Racer 2s...

Mmmm. I think personally, Id go for the V6. They are uber-rare around these parts and they instantly look the mutts nutts. The Elise looks a little girly (despite its obvious dynamic credentials) but if an Exige was thrown into the mix..... erm, well, dunno??! Never driven a V6 but I have had...

Damn - rumbled by telford....... ;) Just interested really. Ive driven both the new shape MR2 and a 911 and was interested how both manufacturers got around the lack of space issue. Porsche rather cleverly, Toyota a bit daft really... I was just wondering how the V6 faired. D.

Do you have shares in a petrol station???! ;)

Looks really good! Being a sad b*****d here - are those colours of lights legal?

Had them in once to do the chips on the Puntos bonnet. Did a decent job, though Ive never used them for dents - sorry... D.

Neeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............. Neeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr - start of the Spy Hunter tune! Sounded like a demented track from The Blues Brothers.... Hoe261 - lol! - The big Three Zero already (and counting...) I still have abash on MAME every now and then - I can never remember it...

Is the petrol tank up front, then?

Jeezuz Cuthbert - whats your insurance like now on a 172???! Saw an RA1 in action and was impressed with it. Must say, Id go for the IK myself. Be warned though, loads of insurance companies classify an IK as a "non standard equipment component" and your premium can either go through the roof...

6-speeder. Why did you not put one in Reno???! :@

Seemingly stupid question I know (the engine - doh!) - but whats actually there? Is there any space at all for luggage or is it just access to oil filler caps etc? Just intrigued.....! D.

Metallics right. The BG colour looks good when clean (especially early evening or under street lights) - but its an absolute beeatch to keep clean! I knew that when I ordered it though, so Ive only got myself to blame! :) D.

How much storage space to you get in these V6s up front? I know it was next to useless in the current shape MR2 - it had a stupid lid that made it look like a small dustbin under the bonnet! D.

I personally think the 172 Cup blue colour was the best of the bunch. Both black gold and racing blue are starting to look common imo. The black gold one would look good with dark grey racing stripes. Make em an option Reno :cool: Silver doesnt stand out enough. The inferno and yellow colours...

Its the Renault badge on the boot that kills it. Personal taste though......

^^^^ - aka Spy Hunter! Quality arcade game! Remember the spacker steering wheel?! And them bloody cars with the spiked spinners - bastids.... D.

coopski - exactly the same as me m8 - the engine mount problem, that is. Ive noticed it more when the cars cold - maybe with heat expansion once the engine gets warm, its not as bad? Its a really bad fault that I cant believe Reno has let go on. A recall should be on the cards IMO.... D.

Its fine - nowt to worry about. I usually have to put the rear wipe on by the time Ive got to the top of the M66 sliproad as the rear screen is coated in moisture. Thats after a good 5 minutes of warm-up too.... Its good on really cold days when the pipes are left smoking afterwards! :D D.
