    new alloys :)

    Sure, they'll be 40 instead of 45 so you'll feel the bumps a bit more but I just don't see how it's going to affect handling. Grip won't be affected, so..? Not that I'd have 17s on mine, just wondering.

    Never understood the handling thing. If the offset and rolling circumference are the same and the tyre width is the same how will it handle differently?

    Are those TD Pro Race 1.2, 17x7? If so, what's the ET on them, and did you fit spacers?

    182 Cup Wheels

    I've searched the forum but can't find the exact info I need. Looking to buy new wheels and keep the same specs but need to confirm what the specs are. I think that I should be looking for are 16" x 7" ET 45 Bore 60.1 with 205/45 tyres. Is that right - bold bits I'm unsure about? (Had a look at...

    Buying a clio 172 with 12 owners

    Run a mile (which is likely further than the car would get you).

    Pop and bang Rs Tuner - mega lol

    I had mine on a base map for a few weeks, how embarrassing. Sounded like a gunfight in a tin s**t-house. I once walked 5 miles rather than drive it. Thank God it's properly mapped now, not a pop or a bang to be heard.

    Clio v6 buying advice

    Thanks for all the input, some nice cars there. Hopefully I'll be in a position to do some proper looking early next year - need the garage rebuilding first cos Cumbrian weather isn't too car friendly.

    Clio v6 buying advice

    ddouble - I'm OCD when it comes to researching. Took me 6 months to find the 182 Cup and spent literally hours checking the car and looking through the paperwork (even had the owner return the V5 to correct a VIN typo before I'd buy!) I'm not on any particular budget but I just would never spend...

    Clio v6 buying advice

    Thanks for the replies, even the one on fire... :( I'll certainly be having a look early next year to see if I can find a decent example, prob ph 2 as SMK suggests, but it needs to be a fair price too. My mechanic would be fine for the belts, etc. he's pretty good and works on all sorts of...

    Clio v6 buying advice

    Fletcher - I'll have to get in there first, there doesn't seem to be hardly any for sale recently! KFRRS94 - That's what I'm thinking, tired of being sensible. It's the f***-offness of the V6 that attracts me more than anything else. Matt W - I'll check it out although I can't really comment...

    Clio v6 buying advice

    I didn't know there was a special V6 site, I'll go and ask there too. Thanks for the info. BTW I saw a LY v6 for sale a while ago but IIRC it was £21K!! Very nice though.

    Clio v6 buying advice

    I'm thinking of buying a V6 next spring, if I can find one, and wondered if anybody has any advice or experiences of what to look out for. I'm not fussed about MPG or practicality (otherwise I'd buy a Prius!) more about reliability and build quality. I've seen a few low mileage Ph1's for sale...
