great looking car, dealer plates still on it etc from the looks, guessing its completely bone stock? wide investment to leave as is and run/maintain it. appreciating classics now and that looks a good example! nice buy!

like the green one, suits it imo

I'd love to nosey over it too, I'm not a million miles away, may be nice get the phase 1 172 out over the summer and roll over

Have you driven it on track yet? Personally I wouldn't change it for the sake of changing it. Try it as is and put the 100 quid or whatever into your coilover fund imo

eh? re-read what I put and try again ;-)

welcome, looks a good base!

I'll check the diary..... And the repairs

Randomly booked Bedford for Monday, cars sat since September after Mallory It's been started few times but that's about it, plan is stick some new pads on the back and change back to road wheels Sunday morning, tax it and go for a test drive. If alls well, load her up and head down to the...

Lovely

Just one, I did both when one went, the one I didn't need to change then died after like 2000 miles so I refitted the old hub (I have 2 sets of hubs for ease of this) and it's still going 20k later, lol

Thankfully I've managed to avoid abs in every mk1 I've ever owned, all 12 odd of them! So I can be absolutely no help here. However as mentioned by others, interested in pics and details of the car

I'll perhaps pop to Renault at the weekend for a chat, see what we can find!

weight saving and willy waving :cool:

for a weight insight see below for my wheels, well some of them anyway: 1: 15" Speedline Maracanã, Nankang NS2-R Tyres (195/50 R15) - 17.3Kg 2: 15" Speedline Williams, Toyo R888 Tyres (205/50 R15) - 15.8kg 3: 15" OZ Superleggera, Michelin Slicks (205/50 ish equivalent) - 11.3Kg major savings...

tyres make such a huge difference, I remember the first time I went from R888's to full slicks about 8 years ago..............couldn't believe the difference and R888's are a damn decent track tyres your approaching it all correctly though, build the car up gradually (ish, I know it gets...

i'll need to double check mine, I swear they look more blue than that but perhaps its all in my head and the poverty spec ones are same and its actually dark grey

# I actually haven't no, were they the correct ones as I believe the sport are different from the pov spec in that they have the blue hue?

Yeah I checked that one first too and couldn't see anything! Nevermind I'll keep looking!

Ai that's been butchered unfortunately

That's been done proper, roof chopped off job too so jaws of life from the fire brigade. Main thing though, annoying that the steering wheel insert is artic or mondial, not racing

Had a quick browse but couldn't find it on the .Net group @KitsonRis

standard.....lol! had to ask though just in case

@gudger12345 centre air vents in the dash any good or destroyed like most?

ai agreed would be nice little touch, but as a general rule completely unnecessary, the stock stuff will outlast the car most of the time provided its not abused with air ratchets etc

I've done 75k in my 182 with no spare including trips away a lot.... maybe I've been lucky. can guarantee next trip away its going to pop a tyre now though! lol!

real world you'll notice the lack of creature comforts.....flol! I borrows a mates cup few years back, driving involvement I didn't notice much difference between it and my 182 FF (cup packs on it) on normal back road jaunts. I get where you are coming from with the more special thing though...

as above, 182, full fat if you can, get most of the toys then (ABS, TC, Cruise, Climate, auto wipers and lights etc etc). I slapped a parrot in mine to for the handsfree, and they chuck about okay not a mk1 admittedly, but decent enough for a giggle

Lovely stuff!

as above, gas filled will return to extended, oil filled will not

Nearly bought a set of those myself, you sourcing them from the clio scene as likely they're from chap I nearly bought them off a few times
