kh10 Posted 19, September 2010 Report Share Posted 19, September 2010 Hi Just joined the forum this week, bought my 172 about a month ago. Took me a while to join.. had to use my work email, anyone know why it won't accept gmail, hotmail etc. Anyway the forum is great, heaps of useful info and I actually discovered that my car was previously owned by 2 other forum members, NCRAW and synergize84. Thank you NCRAW for all the mods and synergize84 for the stereo .. haha Haven't taken it for a proper cruise yet hopin to go Nebo sometime soon.. suburban roundabouts just aren't enough.. Hope to have pics up soon. Kamal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rado Posted 19, September 2010 Report Share Posted 19, September 2010 Hi and Welcome to the forum! What sort of 172 is it? ph1 or ph2? Where abouts are you located? If you are in Melb make sure to check out the cruise this Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh10 Posted 19, September 2010 Author Report Share Posted 19, September 2010 Thanks, Sorry I should of put more detail. Im in Brisbane actually. This is the car but without the stripes and its done jus over 55,000k's now. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8224&p=125858&hilit=+sold#p125858 When I bought it I was told the previous owner that did the mods was an enthusiast.. good to have that confirmed.. . I dunno if NCRAW still posts on here tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 19, September 2010 Report Share Posted 19, September 2010 Hi Kamal You'll be spotted by the locals with your reference to Nebo - a favourite haunt from what I keep reading NCRAW does pop up from time to time - he moved to an S3 after the Clio, and has a hankering to re-join the fold sometime. Are you planning to put the warpaint back on or keep her naked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 19, September 2010 Report Share Posted 19, September 2010 Welcome, and congrats on getting a great example of a wonderful little car Happy motoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh10 Posted 19, September 2010 Author Report Share Posted 19, September 2010 Yeah Nebo is what motivated me to get a hot hatch.. too many times as a passenger in civic type r's and sportivo's. But i wanted something different that could keep up or even beat the Japanese car's but at same time be a nice daily drive.. I'll be keepin it naked.. I didn't know it had stripes originally. Also the clio has that stealth element haha the war paint might give it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 19, September 2010 Report Share Posted 19, September 2010 That was the other thing I was going to mention - we don't allow members to sign up with hotmail or Gmail addresses due to the sheer number of those that turn out to be illegitimate.

kh10 Posted 19, September 2010 Author Report Share Posted 19, September 2010 Yeah I thought that might be the case. Just I work in public service so they can be a little bit pedantic about use of emails but that's okay. The guy I bought my Clio from told me previous owner was a member on here, so just had to join to check out the vehicle's history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmadrid-182 Posted 19, September 2010 Report Share Posted 19, September 2010 welcome to the forum.... a read madrid fan and a RSC to boot? you've got taste !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh10 Posted 19, September 2010 Author Report Share Posted 19, September 2010 Yeah it is quite the little beast, quite a step up up from my 92 Civic.. hehe. Yeah I haven't taken it for a proper drive yet.. but previous owner said set the suspension to full stiff and take it up Mt. Nebo nothing can compare.. but he had a quite a bit of previous driving experience so I'm a bit nervous.. don't want to push too hard.. P.S rmadrid-182 - haha thanks. shame to say but the guy that got me into clios he had a 182 Cup but is a die hard barca supporter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted 20, September 2010 Report Share Posted 20, September 2010 No need to push or bash that hard. Drive at your own pace... i do. Quick compared to some, slow to others. So long as i'm having fun, i'm all good. Trust me, you'll love it. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
