nah, they just look that way, they are just 4 pipes and only 1 of them is connected up

That Clio is subtle in the same way as Lisa Riley slipping into nightwear that is discreet yet comfortable.

Just did a sex wee

Put a group N map on the wifes 172.

Approx 145BHP at the wheels. Will be sticking the 98RON.cal on there later.

Aghhh just found two of my tyres are screwed, one due to tracking (inside is now bald) and one due to a nail, that's £160 down the swannie for some new Avons.

I did Google this place though, they come to home or work to fit and prices seem pretty damn good http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/

Sigh.

Sparky · 5 Oct 2008 at 18:22

Stuck a pair of 195 45 16s Yokohama S Drives on the wifes car [replaced Michelin Pilots] and they have amazing grip in the wet. £112 fitted

Richdog · 5 Oct 2008 at 18:24

Where from?

Sparky · 5 Oct 2008 at 18:31

Just a local place. You can get them from blackcircles and they will give you a selection of places to have them fitted.

Richdog · 5 Oct 2008 at 18:38

Hmm will check it out, cheers mate.

melchy · 5 Oct 2008 at 18:46

I'd personally stick with the PE2's.

Smokey McPot · 5 Oct 2008 at 22:07

PE2's are the best for 172 Cups. No question.

russ9898 · 5 Oct 2008 at 22:19

pe2s are the best tyres for all 172/182 varients imo.

Well worth the premiuim they command

How much are these going for now?
What should I be looking for?
Whats running costs like?

In need of a car and these keep cropping up.

I just paid £3800 for a 52 plate 172 cup, with two previous owners. Runing costs were one of the reasons why I bought one in the first place, am currently getting 40 mpg in my cup according to the trip(though it is lightly stripped out-no rear seats etc).

Just make sure that you buy one with a good history, and make sure if it has not missed its cam belt service or is overdue one. Biggest killer of clios!

FeFiDoh · 6 Oct 2008 at 10:24

Well I got about £4k to spend so I can get one quite easily then?

Whats the difference between the marks? Normally theres an issue with the MKI's and that gets sorted for the MKIIs?

When is the cam belt service due roughly? Im going to seriously look into this now I think

*I want one in that yellow

Bakedgoods · 6 Oct 2008 at 10:26

I'm thinking about one of these for my second car in a year or so, how do they compare to the Fiesta ST?

I'm guessing they are probably a fair bit faster?

A lot of people actually prefer the earlier phase 1 172's, but there's not much in it really. A lot comes down to personal taste, as they are aesthetically different. Read all this thread, most of your questions should be answered.

Oh, you won't get a Liquid Yellow one, as they didn't appear until the 182's, and are pretty rare anyway.
