Clio 182 - Proof at last!!!!!!

[Tom]

Yes mate if youd a read the other posts first you would have known that

 

[TheRoninV6]

does anyone have any proper pictures of the 182????

 

[Tom]

No No No No No

the only "real" pics of the 182 ore those ones that you all said were photoshopped.

 

[phill*]

tomclio16v.. sarcastic sh*t. Sorry for being a lame ass,not.

who cares anyway. Turbos are the way to go for massive midrange and torque and megane RS will have all the things we want, but it will be out of most peoples price range £18000 in topgear mag. Ill get it because if id "read the other posts first you would have known that " i wouldnt have been working.. ass.

I asked 3 of the dealers in my area about it a few days ago only to be looked at like i was stupid, none of them had any idea.

It seems a bit childish and immature to cancel the car and just lose the £200 deposit

I would...

 

[Kev.]

What if you were only paying £11400 and the car was guaranteed to be with you this week??

Your choice. your going to have to expect comments like that.

(there was no sarcasm in my post.)

 

[McBunny]

so far phill all you have spouted is b****cks about your mates kia been able to do 155mph down the a19!!!!

 

[Dash]

I really need to go to the loo but I have heard a whisper that Andrex are bringing out a softer loo roll. Help me what should I do lads ?

(there was loads of sarcasm in my post.)

 

[McBunny]

id say sit on it and find out

 

[Tom]

hmm tough

if i were you id go now. sod the extra softness

 

[Dash]

No You havent convinced me at all. I am just going to wait and see if the 2006 model loo roll is any better.

 

[Tom]

But why not go now then go again?

Yes.

I got mine through friends & family too...

Think of the residuals of a 172 now!

 

[McBunny]

the 2006 design is supposed to be very very good supposed to work aswell as the 3 sea shells

 

[Kev.]

I cant really be arsed waiting though, ive sorted out and paid the insurance for this ready and everything.

Ill probably only keep it 18months-2years then get a Megan RS anyway.

It would be a lot of hassle for what ................ 10bhp?

My car will still be worth what im paying for it anyways so ill prob just stick with the 172

How could I possibly use something that is redundant God forbid. I will sit on my loo and if anyone needs to contact me I will have my Nokia 77935510 I.E.S ( ver 5.921 ) with me.

 

[Tom]

Good choice.

No point in worrying to be honest mate.

 

[king.stromba]

Its not 10 BHP increase though. 172 isnt 172 BHP, so 182 wont be a 10 BHP increase, it will be about 7 or 8. Plus i bet its heavier, so no performance increase. Might as well just stick a good exhaust on a 172. Its just a marketing think to appeal to the BHP brigade. Ripping the spare out of a 172 will probably be just as effective.

 

[Tom]

Not true mate. (i know people who have true 172s-no mods)

How do you know its heavier?- you dont.

Its been done for marketing reasons yes, but the customer will get something out of this too.

(182 has no "fullsize" spare)

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Presumably to accommodate the twin exhaust?

 

[Tom]

^

Yup

How do you know all of this?!

[D-CUP]

Duh, 172 has 170bhp so 182 will have 180 bhp = 10bhp more.

 

[Tom]

Magic.

paul daniels is a distant uncle

 

[Rich-D]

Its blatently aimed at the 206 GTi-180 and its all a game of numbers...

 

[paddymph]

my 172 makes errr, 172 Id say!

 

[Tim-Grove]

my old STD 172 made 162bhp then a month later made 174bhp on the same rollers only difference was a much cooler day???

 

[Monkey636]

WOOHOO! thank god I didnt bother purchasing a cup 2 months ago! still looking for a replacement now, but ive just made up my mind!!

Yup, the temperature can make a big difference...

 

[steve-hall]

I spoke to Jeremy at donnington and it is true there will be a 182, mainly by upgrading the inlet manifold and the twin exit exhaust

 

[rich[182]]

spoke to my dealer four times today, it was news to them, they looked at the website as given in the original post and said the extra 10bhp was down to the 182 having variable valve timing, i then noticed that the current clio brochure specifies the current 172 engine to have vvt !!

i then rang renault uk customer services who also knew nothing about it but are investigating and ringing me back tomorrow

if its true then i think the timing of the announcement from renault is a disgrace when you consider the simple fact they KNOW their are many customers out there who havent even taken delivery of their "NEW" 172 they ordered several months ago and are gonna part with the best part of £14k

 

[rsclio.172cup]

"the new Clio Renaultsport 182 which gains, amongst other things, an extra 10 horsepower"

The reason why its had to gain an extra 10 bhp is due to these "other things" which are bound to make the car heavier.

Im only guessing, but I reckon that this extra 10 bhp will merely compensate for the increased weight of the new clio - if its gaining more features its bound to be heavier = Its unlikely to be any quicker than the 172.

I guess we will just have to wait and see.............

 

[cat171]

if the current 172 is not in bhp,then how come i have a renault brochure which states that the 172 is in bhp and not in ps ?

i have the brochure from when my old man got one 2 months ago.

 

[Neil82]

There are a few 172/Cups out there that are pushing mailto:155-160@wheels">155-160@wheels which is around 180 hp anyway. Will be very interesting to see the 1/4 mile times.
