What clio and are you bored with it

[Dazz]

Just wondering what clio you drive, how long youve had it, and are you bored with the performance yet??

For me its a mk1 1.4rt, had it for nearly a year and really want something faster now

 

[FATBOY]

williams 3 and ive had it for just under 2 months now and theres no way im bored with it yet!

 

[Tom_16v]

1.8 16v

Had it over a year and a half and am not really bored with the performance.

Bought it standard (137bhp) and is now running approx 160bhp.

Doesnt help when my brother has a 250bhp Escort Cossie that eats me for breakfast though lol.....

 

[DeanRSi]

Got my Clio 16v last september, so thats 6 months, its provisionally sold but that doesnt mean im selling it because im bored with it. far from it.

 

[Viv172]

172 had it 16months and still very happy, still feels new

 

[KDF]

172, had it for yonks now.. not bored with it yet.. which is suprising seeing as I had never owned a car for more than 1 year before.

 

[Chris1.4RT]

Had a 1.4RT Clio and loved it. Had never really driven anything faster so didnt know what faster meant. Never got bored of it, it turned plenty heads. God bless the old RT. Loving the 130bhp vts. Still gonna go back to Renault next though, for a Cup.

 

[Jim172CUP]

^^^^^



you can have my Cup if you like, a year old on May 1st. Dont think im going to be able to keep it.

 

[edde]

1.5 dci had it 19 months. Need more power but the amount of cash Ive lost already on it makes me keep rethinking the idea of changing.

Also the fact that insurance is an arm and a leg for me and then fuel + tyres would kill me. My tyres atm only last 15k with my little dci a 172 would last about a week.

 

[Ben H]

Williams - lush. Probably a life keeper.

 

[Paul C]

got a clio 16v on a m plate like the car a lot had it for 2 years now getting a bit board with the lack of power now so thats why i am going for a tuned williams lump. she keep me interested for another year or so!

[Simo]

Mk2 V6, had it about two month, not bored with it.

 

[Chris1.4RT]

lol thanks Jim but Ill only be looking at spending about 8500-low9s. Itll have to be a bit older, plus Im talking about Novemberish. Cheers though.

 

[Natton]

172 cup for just over two weeks now. Totally bored of it....its just not fast enough

 

[Levo]

16 month old 1.2 8v, happy with the reliability, and build quality - everything apart from the engine which is proper weedy. 2 litres of 172 is what Im wanting next.

 

[adcooper]

53 reg 172 had it 6 months been in for repairs for 23 days, but still love it and not bored with her!!

 

[182 sport]

i got a 172 mk2.never get bored of the performance.

 

[wackojacko]

Had a 172 for 9 months.

Bit board of the power, but i have to wait till I get a job closer to Home. Then im going to buy a Rice Rocket!!

 

[desmondo]

172 for nearly 3 yrs.

Not bored at all - lurve the cars power + stealth looks - hate the fecking dealers + renault muppet mechanics who dont know the fecking cars theyre working on.

[Rasclart]

16V and getting a bit bored

New car in June/July time though!

 

[kingJimBob]

1.4RT had it Since last July, before i only hada 1.1 Fiesta (just passing test) so the 1.4RT i was like to be honest now... its still good fun to drive, car is so bloody light.

i gotto admit tho the acceleration has bored me now, and every time i hit 100 it doesnt feel like its sticking to the road properly.

16V or 306 1.9TD (dont laugh ) or 1.6 16V Astra (depending on ££ at the time) could be possible cars next on list.

Hence the boredom...

I love my Clio Cup, its enthraling and exciting to drive all the time, I have a long Journey up and down the A2 from Kent to London and back 3 days a week to work and I love the journey at about 04:45 in the early hours of the morning.

I used to nearly fall asleep at the wheel in my old 206, I have never felt like that in the Cup, I love it......................

 

[Sleepy172]

172 for nearly a year, not at all bored with it....just want a bit more power.

 

[cliomk2]

1.5 dCi had it about a month. not bored of it at all!

lots better than my 1.2

 

[Scutch]

Ive had my Williams 3 for about a year now, and I had a Williams 3 before that too. Not bored with it at all, its a fantastic car and brings a smile to my face every day

However, when I read the review of the 182 in EVO I went ahead and ordered one. Bit hasty perhaps but I fancied something new and it was either that or an Impreza. Glad I chose the 182 but will sorely miss the Williams if and when it moves on. So in a week or so Ill have two Clios parked up outside.

 

[Djw John]

Got a mk2 1.4 s for a year now. Occasionaly get bored but can never find anything comparable for the cost. Bit pissed off just now as it needs 2 new driveshafts!

 

[Martin]

Had my Williams 2 for 11 months now and am looking for more performance, will be tuning or getting a new car, will have to be something with stealthy performance though.

 

[Eddd]

Ragnotti. Completely and utterly bored. Very tedious driving at the ring. 1100km on the track so far this weekend. Yeah, really bored silly, I am.

I really miss the Climate Control, Leather, ICE, and all those amusing civilised things.

Well actually, a rear wiper and a spare tyre would be nice...

Ed

 

[Jim172CUP]

Dont they come with a rear wiper in Europe then?

 

[big hp]

1.8 16v had it for 3 1/2yrs and im wanting turbo power now. Am looking for a Escort RST to tune to 200bhp. No laughing, I loved my mk4 Escort before my clio and would quite happily have one again. I could go buy a cup but cant really justify the money, would rather spend 3k on a RST and 2k engine mods or a 2.1 zvh conversion.

 

[Eddd]

No rear wiper. I didnt even notice until I wanted to use it!

 

[kwingy1]

have a clio dynamique 1.216v had it for about 2 years and yeah get tired of racing 1.2s Hoping to upgrade to a faster car soon.

 

[felix16v]

ive had valvers for two years now and my current one for the majority of that time and theres no way im bored with it! theres so much i can do to it if i do! although i am saving for my bb tuning turbo as it just doesnt seem as fast as it used to!

regards

Williams 2 - 1 year 2 months.

Now the longest car ive owned most cars only last 6 months in my drive (had about 10 cars)

Picked the Williams as it had the looks, handling and perfomance I wanted and the econemy without having to mod it. The biggest plus was it turned out faster as standard than I had thought it would be.

Once you start modding you usually cannot stop so the cars standard and staying that way.

Hope to keep it another year - depends on the House, Job, Possible Marrage situation

 

[Maxx]

Standard 1.2 8v -

Had it for about 7 months, goes quite fast for a 1.2 as its totally standard (at the moment anyway)

 

[jon_r]
