I would have though any exhaust place worth their salt could weld a sports cat into an appropriate shaped piece of pipework for a fraction of the cost.

Thanks for the quick response, I'd priced it as such because of the amount that's been spent on it. but if it's not a desirable colour/spec I suppose it is what it is. Have had a few silly offers on eBay but nothing in particular on here.

I thought I'd priced my 172 pretty well but I have had little genuine interest: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/iceberg-clio-172-new-cambelt-dephaser-£1750.789538/ From the for sale ad: Spec: Clio 172 '53 Plate 115,000 miles - will increase slowly. Comprehensive Service History MOT April '16...

I bought mine for just over £1000, but it immediately cost me £1000 on a cambelt, dephaser and four new tyres. I think there was a second hand CAT in there somewhere too :lol: False economy really, but i bought the car knowing it would need the work doing. If you can do some of that stuff...

Easy way to check if it's the dephaser, at idle it will sound like a tractor/clicky/horrible noise. The noise should go away about 1500rpm or under load. If this is the case then it's the dephaser. If it runs like a bag of nails throughout the rev range then he messed up, simple as. Sounds...

My old Corsa used to do that for some reason. Two clicks to unlock, two clicks to lock/immobilise.

Yeah i had a wave from a 182 the other day, followed by a blat down the road :p

You gotta be willing to travel a bit ;)

The first two letters are just the area code iirc, plenty of cars about with those on I wouold say, it's the random three letters at the end thats the unique bit. Get some pics up, people will more than likely recognise it if its a club car :)

Looks amazing! Only thing I'd change is get a bit more width on the rear wheels personally, other than that, love it :)

Theres going to be alot of cars whs reg begins with kp04, you have been better off giving us the whole thing but blank out the numbers ;)

Isn't that what most people do at the moment? Believe it or not it looks good! Sure there's more to it, but I agree it could at least have a bigger engine in there!

If you havent got aything else to buy....

Less chavvy than chicken paxo, 106gti, vxrs and the like IMO Depends entirely on the person viewing the car and how they think. EDIT: Although IMO, if a car is standard, how can it be chavvy. Chavvy to me = -Wonky bean can exhaust -Limo tints -Monster stickers -Off the shelf sub and 6x9's...

I lol'd

Amazing project, will be interested to see this as it goes on!

Have an old DEH7000 somethign or other, works with the iPod well, pretty intuitive, and has LOADS of sound options, hi pass low pass, 7 band eq etc. etc. etc. etc. Only problem is it has blue illumination whichmatches no car I've ever owned ever. Alpine and kenwood do amber coloured ones these...

I have a bmw - it's good at wafting, hence why I'm looking to buy something I can have a little fun in, after all, I'm driving, not her, it's my decision what I would like to drive, a clio has all the mod cons you'd need, not as smooth, quiet and wafty as a bmw but how often do I munch up miles...

It's just a PH1 - Function>form in this case lol EDIT: IMO anyone from 'the outside world' i.e. not from the car scene, would see a cliosport as a normal clio, and are normal clios classed as chavvy? I dunno...

He's on here, sue he'll have a project thread somewhere, that particular one was stripped of its guts, stock on the outside with TD1.2s on coilovers :)

GF thinks they're chavvy... Called my brothers Ph1 'the chavmobile' :banghead:

Got a few friends that had 1*2's gone away to various meganes, vxr's, vx220's, even porsches and come back to the clio

Cool thanks alot for your help :)

Cheers for the reply :) Not too bothered about nav tbh, like the idea of auto lights/wipers though, this wasnt standard equipment was it? Real impressive spec for what it is if so! Seems I've fallen in love with liquid yellow - what a colour! Maybe a bit out of my price range though.

Make a sport rep if that's what you want to do, or save the money you would have spent on all that sport gear and put it away for a year and buy yourself a 172 when your insurance drops, which it should!

Hi all, sure you can all guess my name :rolleyes:, and I'm looking to buy a nice 182 next year - preferably a nicely specced in a decent colour. Been lurking for a couple days now reading up on bits and bobs so just thought I'd introduce myself, my brothers had a few different CS's so I've had...
