I really miss mine........see 'farewell to my loved one thread'

After having an 05 plate Impreza Sti running over 350 bhp, followed by a lovely Z4 with hardtop....I still miss this car!

is it high pitched? My 172s heat shield was touching something up near the down pipe/cat

my clio 16v did that. quick to about 3k reves dies off a bit, went a bit quicker later on in the revs then died off a bit. Unequal power at different revs. I had engine rebuilt using a donor and it was still fooked. Sold it in the end didn't get to find out the problem.

any particular revs? gear?

god, I missed the sarcasm on here! lol But seriously...... You will not find much difference between vts/106 gti sort of pace up to 210/220 bhp cars ie subarus/focus rs etc. You will be suprised how little there is between them. Dont be racing on the roads though, thats for CHAVS. Get to some...

on renaults, the clock display jobbie, mine has stopped illuminating. In daylight u can see the time but when your lights are on it does not illuminate. Is there a fuse for this? I cant seem to find one and also, does this panel have a seperate lamp to illuminate it? Anyone changed one or had...

I have had 2 x slow clios, a valver and a 172. I loved them at the time but theres better out there. If you can afford a bit more than you would spend on a renault, you will get a better car! For the money though you cannot complain. As for fun factor, theyre brilliant! Shame you dont get the...
