Is it wrong to want another 1*2??

[Wests Renault]

As many of you may have read, after selling the 200 I've now got the urge to get another car!

Originally I wanted a scoob, but I keep getting drawn back into another 1*2. I think part of the fact is how affordable they are now, and another fact is working for Renault means parts/sevicing/diagnostics work costs sweet FA.

Realistically how much performance do you gain from things like cams and throttle bodies, as I've always felt the 1*2 could do with a bit more grunt to keep me happy?

Discuss

Cheers Guys

I don't see why not if you're working for Renault and can get services etc cheap, I know I would if I was you

 

[roland rat]

I'd do it.im always suprised just how cheap a car they are to run and for bang for buck the nearest thing is the 306 GTI-6 but these are now rare to find in a nice condition.


Surely a nice cammed 182 should see over 200 bhp?

I went from a Clio 200 back to a Trophy, not regretting it one bit.

Working at Renault and getting things so cheap, you'd be silly to have anything else.

It's like being on a diet and working in a cake shop.

 

[Kieran..]

get one

Here, here! I nearly sold mine not long ago, but after renewing my membership all I want to do is get a Yozzasport and Turini's again. Silvertec bulbs are still on.

Oh and get another one, RB 182 so I can be jealous of you?

 

[JackJack]

Do it!

They are rather cheap now and for the money and spec there's little about. The only thing is, Everyone slates the 1*2 though compared to the 197/200 then end up coming back....crazy times.

No doubt they're better cars but maybe not good enough as a long term car?

Get a ph1 and make it a minter...you could easily do it seeing as you get cheap parts.

This !!!

Matched inlets, filter, exhaust+decat.. buckets, bit of stripping.. see how you feel. Cams and bodies later if you feel it needs more grunt when it's due a belt.

I keep looking at Iceburg 172's even though after the last 2 I said never again.... lol

Its defo this site thats draws you back.

I need to leave for good TBH

 

[Šįk]

Ask someone on here to take you out for a spin in there tuned 182. Maybe even a test drive!?

But I'd say go for a 182!

Got my eye on a black 182 which I may try and see at the weekend .......

If you don't buy that one, when you drive mine in a couple of weeks you'll get the taste for them back and definitely want one.

There no nice petrol blues about at the minute?

 

[Bluebeard]

Buy my williams for £1000 and resotre it to how it should be.

THEN and only then will you know what a proper clio drives like.

 

[Sean B]

Stick with the black 182

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Got rid of my 172 and bought my Mazda 3 MPS, which is runnin around 300bhp now. I'm currently returning it back to standard to sell and am tempted to buy a ph1 to cam/throttle body. I miss my 172 so much!! No one else understands what such a good car they are. So, no, it's not wrong to want another one

I think these threads make a pleasant change actually. There's quite a lot of 1*2 bashing that goes on in here - which is odd considering it's a Clio forum. Me personally I love my little 182 and while I'm under no illusion that's it's the fastest or best thing ever - it has been, and continues to be, an affordable, reliable, quick'ish and fun little car that always puts a smile on my face.
