cool mate, you will only spot the clio at the moment. 220 needs a turbo so that might not be going places for a while.

They arnt that much heavier than a clio really, maybe 50-75kgs more. 220 would butcher a clio in a straight line, clio would butcher 220 round corners haha you really do have to wrestle them round corners.

ive been without a clio for a couple of years, i was driving one of the sensible eco barges (mondeo) and now back in another 172. had a blast over to a friend of mines house, 14 miles each way, 3/4 of that is country roads and i was as happy as a 6 year old on xmas morning and grinning like a...

cheers :D haha thanks. I love it! Most people have a 2nd glance and wonder why its different from a standard one. have to get them side by side to really notice all the differences lol yeah i wondered if it had had a smash and had a ph1 front end on it or something. i was sure all ph1's were...

:eek: how did that still run right?! lol

Hi guys and girls, this is my new 172. Only got it today so not done much driving yet. This was my situation the last time i was on here; http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?600388-My-DCi-and-Weekend-Toy and now this... 78k, 1 prev owner... BUT it has had a new engine apparently as...

Well, its not like i was poster of the year before but anyway, im back in another Clio. Moved near enough on works doorstep so no long commute anymore which means i can get something a bit more fun/unreliable/thirsty etc. Picked up a Ph1 172 today, quite a change from a diesel Mondeo i was...

Cheers mate :-) At Burntwood? haha yeah it was me! I went for the carvery in the restaurant. Small world.

if it was doing that constantly then he must have been running too much boost or it was simply a nail or a shite conversion. Standard pistons are made of chocolate and generally cant take more than 11.5psi. to get 235bhp he must have had good induction, full exhaust with a bigger downpipe and...

cheers will check that out! there the best ones i have at the moment, its in really good condition for its age. not going to be modding it mate, its simply my daily runner. i have the 220 for my modification habbit lol

Leyland lol its rapid. £550, 200bhp, 1100kgs, LSD... i love it. indeed it is.

124k but it does have FSH. bit of a bargain really. I will give you a warning though, for your sake get one without a sunroof as they leak like a b*****d when it rains.

Well, had to get rid of the 172 a while ago due to insurance and fuel rocketing up. Didnt own it for that long but i thoroughly enjoyed my time with it, mightily impressed and has lifted my previous gloomy experience with anything French. Just lacking in straightline power though. Still with...

Aye, i was in my other halfs Hyundai i10, not the Clio.

Yeah sorry mate, was typo and i cant seem to edit the post.
