as I said, wasnt here to cause a fight. Weird thing is, the statement above saying "we want to prove our cars are good", well, why? They are good, they are fast, I prefer to know my car is quick, and occasionally scalp a car that should know better. I just hate the way certain drivers seem...

nah, its not that mate, its people pulling up at lights and deliberately trying it on, or when im doing a ton on the motorway, overtake a Clio and they come after ya, though they obviously were happy sitting at whatever speed they were at b4

As some of you know I used to own a Clio, and loved it to bits (well, all the bits that kept falling off). Was just wonderin, why is it that the Clio 172/Cup drivers just cant resist a race? I mean, they will race ANYTHING, and wont accept defeat. I mean, I have a Primera GT (old mans car...

would only give any increase if the car was setup properly to use it (eg chip - remap, possibly fse etc)

Well, after my hit and run the other week the car was officially written off so I spent the whole weekend looking for a new motor. Always wanted to go Jap so have bought a contentious car, a Primera GT. Drives like a dream and has all the gadgets and toys I want. Enjoyed my time with the...

1.2s have worse fuel consumption than 172s!...................................if you have had the latest ecu upgrade!

if you arent looking for a K-Tec specific product you will ALWAYS find things cheaper if you look hard enough. Look how much parts are on euro car parts web site, makes you wonder what mark up places put on their products? I always seem to find stuff cheaper if Ihold out that extra week or...

they do seem VERY expensive. Then again most Renault parts are over priced!

if I can buy it quick enough! already seen two and cant decide whether to buy a cheap s13 or an expensive s14. Choices choices............

CUPPY you have PM, ring asap as if you (which i doubt) dont want them anymore cuppy172 is asking. Along with a few others who have already started scavanging:o.

Car was officially written off today. As much as I am happy Im still fecking gutted! Mind you, was looking at a 200sx touring today and OMG are they nice. May be insurance group 17 but I must own one! Nice to be a member for all of about 2 weeks, but been on here for ages so will still hang...

fingers crossed it should be written off as total loss today! I HOPE

should know by end of day if the car is written off. will pm you by end of week mate. 95% definate they will be on their way to you

I hope that mine has eben written off. I dont want it back and will never own a renault again (unless the insurance company will insure me on the 172 exclusive on the forecourt;)) I think the 1.2 16V is only any good if you drive like miss daisy, or my mum

too many people with too argumentative views. An opinion is a personal thing and cant be pushed onto others. If someone doesnt agree with an opinion then dont listen to it, easy as. I know what you mean Daddy, I kinda desperately want a 172 but really cant afford one, well, not yet anyways. I...

I think the Clio is alot more car for the money than the VTS. Plus the Clio is a lot bigger when you park the two next to each other. Spec levels in the 1.6 Dynamique are WAY higher than any Saxo, but I do see the attraction to one of the quickest 1600 hatches out there

buy an exhaust, and I think the 6x4 oval looks sooooo nice, and then leave it until you can afford the Renault ECU upgrade. A direct replacement panel filter wont affect the car adversly, but wont make much/any difference to performance. If you want it to go even quicker just remove the back...

insurance company are being complete tw*ts! Wont give me a hire car until an estimate has been compiled and agreed or the car is written off! SO Im now left with no car for the wife to use, meaning I have to take her to work at 8:30am when Im on late shift and dont start until 2PM! Car should...

most I have managed on a 40 mile drive way 67.2mpg, but then again I was driving in neutral most of the way. Got 53.9mpg going to Crail and back including my runs up the strip, get no more than about 46mpg absolute tops now. and thats on a long run driving nicely! Then again, getting none...

well, mine aint gonna do more than about 4 years now, see HIT AND RUN to see why

the volvo is a VERY competant car

same here, never put 2 + 2 together. But since ECU upgrade have been getting in the 35s! Can get it high but only on a long(ish) run. When I first got it it would get 45MPG all the time, without trying. May be soimething to ask Renault? The MPG Im getting I could run a 172 for the same!

HOLY SHATTERED ALLUMINIUM BATMAN!!! lol, first thing that has made me laugh since it happened, exactly 3 hrs ago nowhttp://www.ne-stylin.com/members/renault_clio_karl/karl_clio.htm

got a plate but isnt correct . BUT, he turned off onto a retail park crawling with CCTV so Police have gone to check videos (I hope!) Just hope I get a good hire car as wife needs one to get to work. Its the wheels that hurt the most, cant buy them atm.................I think I need a drink or...

I just hope that they write it off so I can buy a 172 (gotta look on the bright side!)

Well, looks like I aint taking th Clio to the FCS next weekend. Thanks to some GIT in a Golf CL locking up and driving striaght into the side of me on the approach to a roundabout (he was trying to undertake - and no I wasnt racing!). Worst of it is he drove off!!!!!!!! Now left with a...

Magnex box is superb, suits the car to a T and dont sound too loud

same here, was supposed to be re-painting the calipers and drums but cant in the rain! :( Suppose I will have to go to the pub all weekend instead, what a pity

dependign on funds after the french car show I will try to see you all there. May even take the mighty 1.2 up the strip again! WOOHOO, lets see if I can get under 19 seconds this time (19.02 best so far)

oh and my 1.3 twin cam 16V Micra Super S managed the qtr in 17.9 with zorst, filter and fecked gearbox. @ York
