Re: Sir_Dave's Trophy. The 182 on (nearly) 182k ... So basically, you now just have a red (pink) 182 with some fancy mods :) Any track days planned?

Re: Lowest mileage PH1? I think I remember seeing this one sitting at JMS when mine was there. Mines around 31K now, I can't remember the exact mileage.

You seem surprisingly chirpy/blase about your car catching fire whilst just sitting there having an emmissions test. Does it not worry you that it might happen again?

As it's just up the road, if I'm around Sunday I may pop in.

Dave will this see a track? Would be good to see just how slow these barges are ;)

I owned a FF 182 with Recaros for a few years. I now own a 172 ph1 as a second car/track toy. I can honestly say the ph1 is a much more fun car to drive, just feels more lively and more engaging to drive. I dare say the 182 was the more comfortable more refined drive, but thats not why you buy...

Just strip what you already have. It's a Clio at the end of the day and worth peanuts whether it's 'mint' or a high mileage shed. FWIW I had my 25k mile mint phase 1 about 2 weeks before I set about ripping it apart. :)

Harv, I saw you post on AD's facebook, congrats on the purchase. I did link his PH advert on here, seemed like a good buy.

Shame :( You will have to find another reason to go round there, maybe when he sells his GTO ;)

You balance a car on the throttle, you never go into a corner completely off the gas, unless you are a fan of lift off oversteer, so I guess this will have an affect. Granted the power delivery is linear, so its easy to balance, but without a diff, it's not going to be the best car to pull you...

A couple of MR2's with bodykits, nothing that special. :o

http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/3779926.htm A good friend of mine is selling his Clio cup. He wants a quick painless sale, hence the bargain price. Car has a small issue which I'm sure some of you on here can diagnose better than I can (described in advert), but other than that the car is...

When some lovely gentleman (c**t) decided to forget to brake into my M6, the terms of the insurance were a like for like replacement. Because this was going to cost the insurer a fair whack, they offered me a £400 lump sum and a VW Golf size car instead. I accepted :)

From memory 20mm hubcentrics at the front and 15mm at the rear. Also running extra camber front and back.

Christ you make it sound like you are taming a wild rwd beast that could step out on you at any given moment. People rotate tyres front to back to get the most life out of them, it's as simple as that. You will do well to notice any difference at all between a couple of mm tread depth unless you...
