My ph1 172 is getting old :(



  Trophy #473
Only recently lots of things seem to be going down hill. Now I apreciate its a performance car and I drive it very hard at times so im not moaning about having to replace parts, but recently my AC has stoped working, Strut tops I think have completly demolished themselves as they make so much noice all the time, I have a O/S wheelbearing on the way out but cannot pin point which one yet think its the back.... need new disks anyway as the hand brake is shocking, exhaust is nearly dead and my decat is blowing. I think the suspension is getting a little sloppy as sometimes when i corner i get alot of bouncing type noise from the inside front wheel (not wheel spin) as even drinving normaly it can be heard.

Now I love this car so much and it is sooo much fun to drive, but im thinking its time to move it on, i'll sort the parts out first and get it back to how it should be, ie replace rear disks and fix AC for now, but its starting to show its age. I would have had the car 2 years in feb and would have paid it off by then. but what sort of small hot hatch could i buy that would ever live upto the clios fantastic handling and sheer driving thrill.

thats my rant over
