I think you should put your foot down and buy what you want.

I think you should avoid cliosport.net at all costs, unless you are under the age of 20.

Nice car though!

Hi

Nice 172.

I had one of these until last year, cool little car. Excellent handling. I had VMAxx coilovers on mine, better than FKs IMO.
We can do you a good deal on some too!

Had a 172 for 20k miles and that was enough for me - gutless. I'm deffo a forced induction person so i would pick my current VRS over one every day of the week - if only that was not so nose heavy though
Although the day may never come, i live in hope that one day i can justify another Scoob

Just got rid of my 172, the most unreliable car I've ever had. Fun thou and just as fast as a standard blob WRX or Type R.

Only had if 4 months, replaced the dephaser, cam and timing belts, fitted new Eibachs, new JanSpeed, started pissing oil so need new seals... Now needs a ****ing new clutch!

In future I'll be sticking to a VTS...

Though have to disagree, cliosport is a good site, you get dicks every where even on scoobynet.

Round a track maybe. In the real world they're nowhere near.

No where near! Lol, mate, power to weight, power to weight. My Clio had no issues keeping up with a friends blob WRX.

Anyway if you have a rex why on earth would you keep it standard anyway?
