Well as an all rounder id say the CTR is a better car, build quality for a start they dont rattle or squeak and will more than likley run off the clock and back again before itll break. Performance is antother whilst the pre-facelift versions (before 2004) the CTR strikes 60 in 6.6 whilst...

Yeah apparently it is very common, im not that bothered its just the slight scratches on the glass thats more of a concern!

Next year its a Honda Civic Type R EK 9, in champ white. The Ph1 will only have 50k on her so she should sell pretty swiftly having being serviced 6 times already....

Hey guys, i have had a few niggly problems with the 172 since i bought it, i would probaly put it down to neglect from the previous owner. Anyway so far things ive had to get fixed are> 1. Bearings in the Rear (not quite sure what ones) 2. Front nearside bearing 3. Electric Window...

I dont suppose anyone seen the car security measures they use in sao polue in South Brazil>? If the attempting Crook tries the door handle, the handle clamps down on the robbing b******s hand, thus keeping him there until you and several mates then lay into him with sticks and other assorted...

I used a window suction clamp. im getting the part today but its just such a pain in the arse!

well i left work yesterday put the window down as it was warm got home, went to put it back up and the b*****d never went back up did it! So a wee phone to renault and its £167.07 for the whole part behind the door! So pissed off its unbelievable!!!!

Or if you cana fford to have it sprayed you could key the other side thus making it 'even'......

Surface damage? Down to the metal?

I wouldnt say quite the same, for instance it takes 3 hours to change spark plugs on scoobs. Thanks but no thanks.

Hey guys im in Glasgow and ive been looking to get my Ph1 172 alloys coated there looking a bit grubby after years of torment from a lady owner... Ne way i have been quoted £200 to powdercoat the 4 in anthracite gray this was from Powder-Tec in Glasgow does anyone know of anywhere i can get...

well if you wanna show more calliper then the leggeras are for you, but in saying that all callipers look great when there being driven

lol is that why your taking him to the gym>? Do you whip him whilst he runs on the treadmill? haha:rasp:

What has that five door got under the bonnet?

Dogs drive clios? lol Nah seriously though, whatever you go for id get a graphite finish itll go great against the silver of the car. Are your callipers painted??

a dunno what he was trying but twice did he attempt to undertake me, such a poor display of driving ability, not only that but when i had my Clio 1.2 i dont honestly think i would have as been even stupid then to attempt what that wee mug was doing. If the lights went red i was for getting...

You will have to tell the insurance company mate, they might possibly use that as a get out in the evnt of a crash if they find out the fly b******s

Thats a total s**t wagon

Nah i cant see it mate,some of these cars have drilled, 380mm discs with 6 pot callipers! It would stop you on a ten pence piece! Speaking from experience i really have to admit my Saxo VTS's brakes were definatley not suited to the power out put of the car!

Suspect to me mate! It would seem all the hottest hatches seem to be the bait of choice for these arse pirates. Avoid it like jade goody mate!

I suppose that old cliche "if you can afford to buy it you can afford to run it" doesnt really cut it anymore lol

Silver Mk3 Clio with 3 lads in it. Dont know what you were trying to prove, just dont be trying that s**t with me again or there will be consequences and repercussions:nono:

Take everything out the boot that doesnt need to be there, do your tyre pressures every week. Dont drive at speed with with the window down this just creates drag. At about 60mph it loses like 5% of the fuel consumption apparently! Im getting 29mpg at the moment, but that was me proving the...

Eh?!? A Porsche>? You mean like 911,boxter,Cayenne? I really doubt that mate, alot of porsche owners go for the ceramic brake upgrade for like 3-5k. I cant see it getting out braked by a Pug GTi!

This should be a no brainer, what do the Gti and VTS weigh? About 980kg's i think? The 172 should piss on it, i owned a saxo vts and while its a very eager car, its not nearly as fast as my RS 172! They do 0-60 in 7.7 although parkers have the GTi down as 8.3 (same engine and car im sure)...

Phase 1, 172? Induction seems pretty good. Panel Filter only?

Bet that number plates a b**ch for the police to read..... lol

When you do get it fixed buy a badger cannon for the roof lol

Phase 1, 172 with 44k. I got it all done last week (ive only just taken ownership of it) And yes the belts should have been done in 2006, this is a testimony as to why women should not be allowed to own cars. I just spent £620 getting the cars belts, service, bearings the lot. She runs...

I just bought mine for £3800, 44,000 miles, needed the belts done, one lady owner.
