    My Return to the Renaultsport fold (plus an update on weekend toy)

    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.

    My Return to the Renaultsport fold (plus an update on weekend toy)

    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.

    Do you ever forget how fun they are?

    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...

    My Return to the Renaultsport fold (plus an update on weekend toy)

    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...

    Im back!

    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...

    My DCi and Weekend Toy

    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...

    My DCi and Weekend Toy

    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.

    My DCi and Weekend Toy

    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...

    newbie - 172 running costs

    servicing costs are reasonable apart from the belts that people have mentioned but thats only every so often... tax is a fortune at £245... insurance, you might as well bend over and get lubed up... economy is decent for the engine, i usually see about 31mpg in daily running but anything up to...

    Forza 4

    id like to see a lot more cars for a start. it might be copying but some sort of second hand market similar to GT5's would be good. imo these are the only areas where GT5 is better, everything else forza walks out in front.

    Considering a clio diesel

    Absolutely Fuming with Adrian Flux

    All insurance companies are a set of c***s tbh. Money robbing idiots. I moved from AF to Sky in the hope that things would improve but nope, still as bad.

    Every Clio i see

    i only take notice of the RS clio's because ive found them to be pretty rare tbh. Normal Clio's are a everywhere but in the 6 months ive owned mine i think ive only seen about 3 other RS172/182 clio's.

    Gears not changing smoothly from cold

    tbh as long as rod doesnt fly through the block then i just put it down to 'being french' lol As long as its fine when its warm then dont worry about it. IMO anyway. But dont listen to me i guess, im not all that technically minded lol

    Gears not changing smoothly from cold

    Mine does this occasionally, i just put it down to it being moody when cold. Cars can be like that.

    Not another one (EK9 content)

    i f**king love these... would have one and get it turbo'd. Best of both worlds. Just wont pay the money they go for, its mad prices.

    Spapx vs Apex?

    had experience with both. Found Spax better than Apex. My 172 is on Apex at the minute and its very 'bobbly' and crashy. pay the extra and get Eibach's imo
