Its been around for a while mate, and has proved difficult to shift. Just beware.

I think difficult is an understatement!

Yer i heard this as well...Im not looking to buy it, i love my 182 and i wouldn't want a chavie V6 replica - even though it is 250bhp, i would feel like an idiot driving it!!

Should be fun to drive a clio with throttle bodies etc.

Basically it's not the real thing...250bhp or not

Must handle like a pig too with 18's. Must shift in a straight line though.

How'd they get 250bhp from modified cylinder head,cams and TB's?

Andi-B · Sep 18, 2006

I like the bodykit on it.. fake or not, but I wouldn't go out of my way to drive/buy it..

Wouldn't that damage the cliff?

Was really really disapointing. Steering wheel was shaking under braking, every bump set you off course, and to be honest it really didnt feel that fast - i almost red lined second and kicked straight into third and it didn't feel as fast as the 182. The clutch is a nightmare as well, very very stiff and short travel. I was really shocked. The outside looks good, apart from the diy fitted mirrors, but the interior is worn and shabby. The massive nos can in the boot is cool tho!!

Overall i wouldn't buy it, and i definatly wouldn't recommend it to anyone - get a standard 172 - 182. They feel so so nice to drive compared to this heap.
