lol to clarify ,I was calling the sierra driver a tw*t,but no the car the sierra over took didnt bother coming back either.Must have been asleep,not looking in his mirror,or could have been together pratting about! as for giving chase I was a little dazed to be fair,and I wasnt even sure hte...

clio 182 cup Dixons Renault Barnsley 3 years 0% finance,,tempted.:)

driving over saddleworth moor tonight coming home from a meeting in Manchester,wish I hadnt bothered. Coming round a fairly tight RH bend at a reasonable but in control speed,when im met round the bend (blind) by a Fking Sierra in the middle of the road,having just overtaken another car,I...

mines 137 (I.Q) and I was on about the advert showing a car doing 35 mph not 75,bloody obvious I would have thought?,hit him at 75 mph he would be in a diff time zone!

therefore you made an error of judgement,we are all allowed.If this guy does it all the time then he should be locked up.You must be a very restrained person and I applaud you for it. no thinking about I cannot imagine doing 75 in a 30.I totally agree.What i was trying to get across is that...

come on get real,its bloody quick but,like has been said if it late on and he only does it for a blast,weve all done it,unless you havent worked out what the 172/182 stands for in your cars name.If he drives like that all the time he deserves to be shot! so all you soapboxers have never been...

hi my mk2 172 is an import and i cant find the tyre pressure for the standard mk2 16" wheels (continental tyres). anyone tell me ? thanks

i dont know why pple bother with the induction kit ,its makes a stupid noise when you floor it and it doesnt really work until you doing fast enough to force the cold air in,picks up like a fiat panda from low revs when its a hot day too,get overtaken by cyclists...

yeah guy at work says his cupra drinks fuel something chronic,, my 172 gets about 35 average ,,40 ish on long runs ,and ive never seen it drop below 30 even when giving it the full moo most of the time.

got a mk2 172,but been browsing for a new 182 on autotrader,,found several 172 cups with 182 bhp factory upgrade??,what is this ? have i been asleep,and can i get it done for my 172?

just been on the renault.co.uk clio configurator ,,,not seen those 2 special paints before,yellow one and a really nice dark green/grey colour! v.nice!

i have a mk2 172 and am/was saving up for a bmw 330i,but after reading the article in evo,,,,maybe wait a year and grab a 182 with cup bits,although i can do without those crap stripes looks like a cheap nova,and im not taken with the dark wheels,can you get the cup bits and normal wheels or is...

just sold my blue mk 1 172,best thing i did,and swapped for a flame red mk2, mk2 looks better,the mk1 always needed bigger wheels,although i loved the front of the car more agressive than mk2. the mk1 i would say is marginally quicker to 60 mph,the mk2 more refined and loads less steering...

whats the 2005 clio like? any pics? little megane ???...no thanks!! 225 bhp turbo hmmmm big +ve point,throuhg the front wheels though? wait a year the 182s will dpericiate faster than your mk2 172 thus lowering the gap between them and meaning you pay less to change. + the exhausts look a...

0-60 really makes no odds, my old mk1 was claimed at 6.6 where as the mk2 is 7.1,having just changed to a mk2 it feels no different.if it has lost a few 10 ths to 60 it makes up for it with better gearing.so the overall effect is the same. fair play to those getting 182s,my mk2 172 is superb...

just traded my mk1 172 for a flame red mk2 2002,i think in 2-3 years time i will def look at the 182. let other people pay for the depriciation.;) dont like the dark alloys, and those exhausts are a great touch but too small! if the 182 is as much of an improvement over the mk2 172, as the...

mine was £130 last year from renault dixons,now £169!

HI JUST SWAPPED MY MK1 172 FOR A 02 MK2 172 FLAME RED WITH 9.5K MILES ,,10K FROM RENAULT DEALER! (AFTER SOME HAGGLING!).PICKING IT UP ON MONDAY. WOULD ALWAYS GO FOR 172 OVER CUP,THE CUP LOOKS BETTER,BUT I LIKE CLIMATE CONT,ESP,ABS, RAIN SENS WIPERS,AUTOHEADLIGHTS,PROPER BACK SEAT,SPARE...

ive put a scorpion cat-back system on mine,excellent for getting rid of the 4k buzz/rattle (centre section),tail pipe looks the biz,nice burble on idle,but CHRIST!!! does it drone on the motorway above 70 its plain uncomfortable,floor it in 5th and you have to take both hands off the wheel so...

fair point ,thanks just makes you wonder,if i hadnt have asked,they would have charged me for the 36k service,tempted to go elsewhere!

just booked my mk1 172 in for what i thought would be its 2nd service and m.o.t 3 years old today!.the first service was done at 13k,its now on 27k,bit over 24k service but nevermind(or so i thought),woman on the phone said it would be the cost of the 36k service i.e £270 because its 3 years...

yeah £249! stainless steel,sounds better now sealant has set not so boomy,superb would reccomend. larkspeed.com is the place i bought it from,they had one in stock at the shop so saved myself £7 delivery,equivalent magnex was another £90 (but did have twin exits) janspeed about another £30.

just managed to get my scorpion cat-back exhaust fitted!before going away,nice deep burble on idle,not too much louder on full acceleration,hardly noticeable at steady motorway speeds!,got rid of the annoying as fk 4k buzz yipee!!. downside,if your in too low a gear i.e 30 mph in 4th and...

well just bitten the bullet and picked up my new exhaust from larkspeed in leeds,scorpion cat back stainless steel,looks very nice,straight through back box hehe!.for my mk1 172,centre section buzz irritating and its got a hole too! was going to go for the magnex system but £90+ more so went...

my mk1 172 needs new exhaust from cat back,hole in the centre section (losing power) and the stupid 4k rattle is getting worse, i may as well get a decent one as the standard renault ones costs as much,i dont want it to be loud/droning as i do loads of motorway miles.a nice burble and note...

just cleaned my clio hmm looks nice been for a spin,turbo still tempting but it is another £200+ for insurance ish,and i doubt i will get anywhere near 38 mpg like in the renault. another thing is the buggers either side of me hardly leave me enough room to park as it is but can get the clio...
