And the Clio becomes a beast. Respectfully, have a happy new year. In the videos, I noticed that your gear changes are very smooth when changing up. If you care to share, do you do anything otherwise unconventional?

The spare tyre could go as well, which is full sized in the 172. Although, on long trips that wouldnt be smart. The 182, according to the rep, have an inflation can rather than spare tyre to conserve weight. My *guess* at the weights from heaviest would be: 1. spare tyre 2. Back rests...

Yep, after having just re-installed the back seats and crossbar, the 172 drags a fair bit more. I used to be able to pop past other cars and now its all the more laboursome. I have no actual figures to provide. The cars rattles are lessened with the seats back in. To take them out: -remove...

In traffic I accelearated hard beyond the red line and noticed the fuel cut out.. that would have to be a rev limiter right, or did I f##@ the car somehow?

im gonna head inland Australia in search for billabongs, with a Clio as my swag. the back seats have been removed to make room for a single pillow-style mattress, and Ill lie diagonally across with the front passenger seat pushed forward. Anyone done it before?

Very useful and reassuring responses, thanks. This car is a hidden gem in Melbourne, there arent many on the road. Im kind of glad, otherwise thered be more people wanting to race it, and itd also be prone to more vandalism. The only strangeness I had about purchasing it is that except for the...

Hi all, today I took delivery of a very fine Clio 172 build April 04. It had 2500 km on it, being both second-hand and ex-demo. Paid AUD$29,000 on the road. Few questions, Should ESP be on all time? Would that consume power/fuel or decrease performance? The dealer said these cars dont need...

As I am about to pickup an ex-demo 2004 172, I am just wondering when ESP was introduced, the sales person said the 2003 did not have ESP. However, according to this, the 2003 does: "And speaking of the high country, we were able to test the new-for-2003 Electronic Stability Program (or ESP...
