Help needed on a big decision.

Sounds like you are very undecided i wouldnt rush into anything plenty of cars out there,i would personally go out and try a 106 gti,imo i think it would be a step back from the cup dont get me wrong they are cracking little motors i have owned one a while back but i would say they are in a different leauge to the cup,you would easy double your money on the writtern off one in selling as parts,then you have a nice little ammount for another 172 or even possibly a 182.all imo tho.

Very sensible response mate and i totally agree.

You have to do what you want to do with the car.

Thanks its probs the best thing to do,at end of day you have to live with it imo ,buy the time you put the cup right properly it will be hovering around the 2k mark another 1k and you can have a half decent strate one.IF it was me and i liked the car so much (which i do lol) i would buy another cup (find one with belts done so you dont have to pay out for it again)put all the best bits off the bent one onto the replacement cup then stick the cat c one on ebay as a whole car starting it at £999 no reserve.job done :approve:

Forget this 106 GTi nonsense and fix it.

Gary172cup you should be a life coach, very wise words. You are my new messiah

 

[benmore]

a peugeot 106 instead of a clio 172... bad move IMO

that is definately taking a step backwards.

 

[joe81]

Just repair it,

You can get hold of a rear axel for 100-140 quid

Then just drive it as is untill you find a good body shop to repair it, at a guess i could have that repaired for 800 quid all in, the car will still be worth more than it owes you after 12 months.

Breaking is a pain in the arse, it sits on your drive, bit by bit, makin yer house look like a scrap yard.

Besides people on here are only saying break it so they can get their hands on the parts:rasp: bet some have PM'd you already.

If your really undicided bang it on flee bay with a BIN price of 1500 quid an see what response you get.

Ha ha thanks dan i think im getting wiser in my old age,any problems just pm me and i will guide you through them :rasp:

Well i have made a decision!The car is being broke, despite being offered £1300 today!and i have just bought a yellow 106 gti!Not sure i have made the right decesion yet buying a gti as it will be slower than my ctr and cup, but it did feel very fast and looks nice too. The 106 needs a std set of alloys putting on it and a little tlc in places other than that it's mint!Picking it up on saturday and will post some pic's.

 

[Dave Hester]

Do what i did and buy it back sell all the crap bits like interior, engine covers and other bits that people want. And keep the engine, gear box and running gear and buy another cheap one with the insurance money. That way you have lots of spares if the cheap one goes wrong.

+1 The best idea on this thread, a nice cup can be had for 3300

 

[Dave Hester]

ooops too late

 

[rexe]

only problem with doing what chris Wiggle said, is keeping the parts. My flat is like a junkyard due to me breking cars etc im sure many people would not like that. Even chris's house is full of clio shite, with a whole bedroom dedicated to clio bits hes almost as bad as me lol.

I would turn it around, break the whole lot make £1500 - £2000 back in parts and buy something nice job done. But thats if your used to hauling engines and parts all over the place and making a mess

 

[Brett]

I'd break it and start it again. Two fairly bit crashes isn't going to have done it much good tbh.

 

[Bluebeard]

I've just finished breaking a Clio 172 and I will NEVER EVER bother again. Looks like a junk yard, its a pain in the ass and just a complete eye sore.

I'd have sold it for £1300 and been happy with that tbh.

 

[16v_paddy]

So how much do you want for the engine & gearbox?

Can have the engine and box for £550 mate, has done 50k with fhs and belts done two months ago.

omg. your bein soft, you'll make miles more than that 4 box an engine, at that price fleebay it an sell the lot, i''d give u 1600 all in as is

 

[TooneySonic]

wtf ^^^^ needs head testing....

 

[rexe]

too much money

 

[Riley!]

id say it needs a new rear quarter. Get a cheap enough quote on that and its worth doing. Say £500ish just for quarter

 

[JEEV2002]

I may have missed it but is that CAT C or CAT D ?

 

[type_rdriver]

After a fast sale tbh. Might put it up for £600 for the lot!

I have made more monet then what i bought it for already and havent started stripping the interier yet lol.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Bargain on the engine and box that'll be snapped up in no time. You will fetch more even with a quick sale. Think about it mate.
