Hi, Finished running in a couple of weeks ago, found out what happens after 5200 revs, not bad !!! . My wife has used it all this week and put super unleaded instead of optimax , took it out for a spin last night and after warming it up , took it past 5200 revs , when the vvt kicked in it blew...
I cant beleive that in all these threads not one has mentioned the Nissan Micra. Are they limited to 32 mph or what . Whatever I am driving , The Van , the 182 or the m5 its always some pensionable old tw4t in a Micra clogging up the road 19 in a 30 , 25 in a 40 , and 32 on dual carriageways. If...
Got 182 on Friday , not been past 3500 rpm yet done about 200 miles , 425 to go. Had fun on the bends though , seems like its on rails , But if you want a faster car buy one with a bigger engine/ more power its easier. Went out for a blast in the M5 this afternoon , totally different animal
I read on here so much about regular trips to the dealer , to have warranty work done, more often than not causing other faults & damage in the process I am wondering does any one here actually like renault dealers and is anyone lucky enough to have had a car for 3 years that has NEVER needed to...
I was a skid this time , and left flat spots , how many times in the past do you think hes done massive wheel spins and took a few mm off all round , I think ill check mine with a depth guage before i take mine in for service
Insurance : Got offered fully comp insurance £408 via Arnold Clark (Renault) on 182, Without using my NCB as this is being used on another policy . Applies to anyone over 31 and you can have upto 9 penalty points
anyone got a cheap irish CAZ plate with nubers 182 to follow or similar, its for my Wife , Carole , as the car is supposed to be ( Except track days and anythime I feel like taking it out for a damn good thrashing !!!! LOL)
scaring the wife is one of the few pleasures left in life I met her in 86 and have been doin it ever since . If cars were meant for normal driving they would only need 2 gears and about 30 horsepower , as the clio is 182 scary driving is a must . have you seen those stickers , get in , belt up...
Thanks for the comments ,I am 99% sure I will have the inferno, I plan to go along on Friday to collect it and unless I absolutely hate it I will get it. If the worst happens I will try to get back my £200 deposit and / or go elsewhere and see what is in stock. Cant be bothered waiting plus the...
I like the look of the megane , but opted for the 182 could have got an 04 pre reg / demo from dealer £15,500 nominal miles but couldnt quite stretch that far , btw when you switch the traction/esp off on the megane it switches itself on again at 30 mph
32 !!! dont worry about it I am 37 and pick up a 182 inferno on Friday , you got a better deal than me aswell. as for the colour , if its too bright for you wear sunglasses , if its too bright for everyone else , tough sh*t .
sell the audi and the bike and buy my M5 440 horse power (unrestriced 190 mph) 4 door saloon big boot all the toys and more 5 litre v8 about 20 mpg you would love it
dvla /sale of marks have CU 05 CUP for sale , a dot in the right place , and a squaring of the five could make it read CLi0 S CUP bit too dear for me at £799
Thanks Jeremy for confirming the details , I am still waiting for an e mail from you , I think, via renaultsport , with booking information, I am definately up for it , so ill see you at Oulton Park. PS is it a striclty Renault only day or can you arrive and drive in other makes
I know where it is , its easy to find but I have never been to a track day before and although I want to try the clio out I dont want to kill it on my debut, Just wondered what the drill was and if its possible to have fun without the risk of sliding off into other cars or vice vresa . If you...
A good tip for the future is not to drive as close to the car in front , and remember the brake is the pedal in the middle. PS did the air bag go off and what did it feel like
I have got one on order , was going to get black /gold but due to error on the dealers part found it wasnt available in time and opted for inferno instead, I hope this proves to be a good decision
