Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project
looked lovely with the ultra's on it, shame they scrubbed as the stance with the spacers looked awesome.
good set of pics, looks like a good project. any more plans?
depends on a lot of factors, mainly when its been serviced and if its always been looked after. if its got a perfect service history then it should be fine, the bigger clio engines are tough old girls
theres a little group of us already on corby that know each other, was 4 of us, now only 3, but some new local people would be good, we're having a little meet on sunday night about 7pm if you guys are interested.
my old 1.4 8v idled quite low, never did it any harm so i cant say whether its an issue. does it struggle a little when idling, like its about to cut out?
cant remember who told me, i may have heard them wrong
4 grand for a 1.2! youve been raped by your insurance company, who on earth quoted you that? or is your postcode area in baghdad?
seeing as every clio shell is pretty much the same i dont see why the 1.6 shouldnt fit seeing as renault make a clio 1.6. and plus, the 2.0 fits, so the 1.6 definately will.
i've heard the 1.6 isnt a great engine, and as for not insuring it properly, this is why everyones insurance is so damn...
aha, very good idea, never say yes to their first quote, always say you were looking to pay a little less as youve just had to buy the car or something, and you havent got a lot of money left. and the fact that youre a student, big that up. they always get a quote, and then stick a bit more on...
1 years experience bot NCB as i was a named driver on my dads insurance for the first year, shared the car, im paying 1800 for an 07 plate 1.2 16v and im a soon to be 20yr old lad, so its not too bad seeing as some insurers wanted 2 and a half grand
i was considering a 182 conversion for mine, but after reading this im very tempted as 150bhp from a 1.2 sounds interesting, could be a lot of fun! any more info on the possible gearbox issues?
if you still love it, why change, and if you dont know what car it is, all you know is its a 1.5 of some description, then id be doing some research first if i was gonna change
