Fully agree with this, completely useless. Should have taken some tips from the germans, my Bora has brilliant cup holders. Anyone with a mk4 golf or bora will agree.

They canjust have to know someone with a knowledge of how to use CLiP
Or you just put a black sticker over the sensor
Turns intermittentrubbish...loads of fun to be had with four wheel drifts, perhaps you just need more torques

You misread my post. And there's a whole story behind that.

The 5k kick isn't VVT as commonly believed, VVT change actually occurs around 1650 RPM.
The article about the comparison of the F4R to an F1 engine was written by Icarus I believe. But I can't for the life of me find it.
I do however have the content of the thread:

The F4R..... Just like an F1 Engine!
Well in one important respect anyway. I'm just finishing up an engine spec (silly AM finish again!!) and whilst glancing through my pistons speeds spreadsheet noticed something pretty interesting. We all know the F4R has a very long stroke at 93mm, indeed it's one of the longest performance I4 stroke engines that there is out there, what a lot of people don't twig is what effect this has on peak piston speeds. Piston speed is a pretty simple concept, it's the peak speed the piston reaches on it's way up or down the bore and it's one of the main limiting factors in how high you can make an engine rev.
A unamed current F1 engine that might be built in Northampton and be associated with a tin duck has a stroke of around 39.7mm (not taking rod stretch etc. into account). From the stroke and max RPM we can calculate the piston speed, in this case the engine revs to 18,000RPM giving a peak piston speed of 23.82 m/s
The F4R 730 has a stroke of 93mm and revs to 7200RPM out the box giving a piston speed of 22.32 m/s........ only a touch less than the F1 lump but (and it's a big but) in Clio Cup spec these engines rev'd to 7800RPM on standard bits, indeed we run standard engines at 7800RPM day in, day out and they still last several seasons of circuit racing (although we do recommend a set of ARP rod bolts for sustained use). Now at 7800RPM the peak piston speed rises to 24.18 m/s
24.18 m/s!!!!!!!!! Put simply a completely standard F4R that's had the laptop plugged into it has a higher peak piston speed than what's in the back of Williams F1 cars this season!!
Just thought that might be of interest to some For all the stick French built stuff gets it's a pretty good demonstration of how good the materials and component quality of the standard engine is! It's easily on a par with Hondas K20 engine for example.... and that doesn't even meet Euro 5 like the current 200 spec F4R "

a standard Astra VXR is quicker in a straight line, let alone a mapped one. Plus there is no such thing as a stage 42
An orange one

Just lol!!!
I think theyre s**t tbh, whats the point in having a car that has decent straight line speed, and still has decent straight line speed even when you are taking a corner?

because you'll be top dog on the council estate/in mcdonalds car park
You really think having a clio makes you better than having an Astra? They may be chav to you but last time I looked i was on a clio forum...

Not at all, just VXRs have more of a chav following. Chavs aren't as interested in little 2.0l n/a Clio's when they can have oodles of boost which gets bitches dripping.
last I checked I was on a clio forum, I sometimes check that I'm on vxr forums and zetec s forums, not sure how that's relevant though.
Is this true of the 172s as well? I have aircon and a little clip in the back of the glove box. no idea about mirrors.How do you turn them on?
guess ;)
I have two points! 1: stiff clutch! and 2: stiff steering! please don't call me weak because there like bricks compared to normal Clios!

Press the rear screen clear button.
not sure if 182s are the same, but the 197s have heated/self clearing rear view mirror. That comes on when you press the rear screen/wing mirror clear button.
the clutch is a bit. I only ever notice when I drive something else though. The steering certainly isn't heavy though
my point was how can you class another car chav, when you own a renault clio which is hardly chav free is it
RB 182 FF
The auto lights can be turned off by turning the headlights on and off 3 times in quick succession. (non cup only)
The internal motion sensors can be disabled by turning the ignition on and off 3 times in quick succession.
(handy if you need to leave a dog in the car while you pop in the shops)
The auto wipers can not be turned off in any f*cking way at all!!!!
DaveDreads you are a legend, I've had my 182 for 2 years and I've only just found out about the auto lights cancellation thanks to you!
They've always got on my tits when I'm warming the car up and having them on constantly! But not now, happy days! 
Yes.
Sit in the passenger passenger seat. It has to register that there is no driver and it wasn't done by mistake.
Key in.
Turn ignition on.
Turn the radio up as loud as it will go
Lights on.
flash full beam 5 times.
Turn the interior light on and off repeatedly
Turn radio down.
Press the horn twice
turn lights off
then on and off 3 times until main beam
Switch ignition off
Take key out.
RB 182 FF
guess ;)
All the ones i have driven must be knackard then. :banghead:
