I'm Back :D THIS TIME WITH 2.0 POWER!

[jonny mac]

hey guys, right some of you may remember me from a while ago (i also need to repay my membership)

so basically i had a clio mk2 ph1 put a mk2ph2 rear end on it and then sold it to someone who crashed it

anyhoo after 2 civics i've realised i cant beat a 172 haha so i've decided to come back to my old ways and get a clio. this time i've got a 172.

tonight i picked up this absoulutely stunning, clean clio 172 2.0 16v sport in blue.

the clio's only got 42k on the clock it's mint . i have a big loan to pay off as the civic's still not sold so basically 'modding' cant start till the loans gone but once it's paid up i'm planning to make over 200bhp which sould be easy.


it wont be on the road till my civic's sold so i can swap insurance details over to this car so right now it'll be stored away in my garage and stripped for a HUGE service and new brakes and new wheels. it came with 17 kahn replica's and a huge magnex backbox which is away to get replaced with a twin exit magnex full system, and some very lightweight wheels or 182 wheels.

my old car for those who remember:




the 172 i just got
(not got good pics as it's dark just now will take tomoro)

 

[RBR4]

That looks very tidy,how much was it?

 

[jonny mac]

that would be saying lol in total it's costing me roughly about 5500 minus insurance swap increase costs.

 

[jonny mac]

anyone know if this is the 172ff or just a 172?

 

[mini-valver]

None of the 172's are FF. The only FF is a 182 with both cup packs. Love monaco fella, enjoy!

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Yeah it's a FF 172

 

[jonny mac]

umm you 2 both say different things? 172 ff or not? lol yeh monaco blue is ace!

 

[jordan172]

yeh its def a ff 172

 

[Andy.]

172's (PhII's) are either FF or cup. That one is a FF. Cups were only Artic Blue or Silver. IIRC

 

[Greeny.]

FF yes, looks nice. Not sure on those alloys though, they 17's? Looks high!

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Cups were Mondial Blue or Silver

 

[ChrisD172]

What alloys are they? Car looks very tidy

 

[mini-valver]

THERES NO SUCH THING AS A FULL FAT 172. Its a 172, or a 172 cup.

The 182 is either a 182, a 182 FF (All cup packs, leather, climate etc) or a 182 cup.

You have a monaco blue 172.

 

[Revels]

No such thing as FF on a 172.

Its a 172 or a 172 Cup.

Yours is a 172. A nice one

kl. so it's a basic 172

the car has 17 inch project kahn replica's and standard suspension

soon be buying lightweight wheels and some good suspension all once money's cleared with paying off loan etc.

Daddy would you like some sausage......

 

[Fletcher]

Nice 172, not a fan of wheels tbh.

 

[Gem]

Lovely Monaco Blue....as above; not so keen on the wheels.

Nice purchase

 

[jordan172]

could i be classed as sort of ff because i have cruise control and speed limiter?

 

[Gem]

Would you like the short answer or the short answer?

 

[DrR]

No cos FF means cup packs??? has nothing to do with interior options, so unless it has 182 cup wheels, cup packed suspension + spoilers it's not a FF.

Technically my 182 is a 182 F lol

 

[jonny mac]

I LIKE HANDBAGS

yes the wheels are going to be changed

yes it's only a 172

and freddie got fingered is possibly the best film of all time

along side anchor man!

[Tigger]

[PH-QUICK]

172 FF is just what everyone classes it when its not a cup so all you nerds just deal with it lol

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Well said that man :cheers:

 

[Martin_172]

renault didnt call it the FF so technically theres no such thing as a 182ff either :rasp:

cars nice mate, would look much nicer with standard wheels though lol

 

[sideways danny]

renault didnt call it the FF so technically theres no such thing as a 182ff either :rasp:

got to agree with that TBH, it's a made up term anyway lol

 

[DrR]

It's a made up term that came about when cup packed 182s come out.

 

[ukjohnny]

so mines just a 172

 

[Tigger]
