chuckovski 2,194 Posted 5, March 2017 Report Share Posted 5, March 2017 Mrs thinks I'm looking for a Corolla They both start with C, so if there are any complications post purchase that's what the issue was. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No152 5,164 Posted 5, March 2017 Report Share Posted 5, March 2017 Solution - wear braces! Belts and braces - must be why it goes on time as well... You know, so your pants don't fall down... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
63x1092 970 Posted 6, March 2017 Report Share Posted 6, March 2017 Yeah be careful, your belt only lasts four years or 100,000 paces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pokinacha 1,275 Posted 6, March 2017 Report Share Posted 6, March 2017 why not a 172? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clixx-io 786 Posted 6, March 2017 Report Share Posted 6, March 2017 why not a 172? @Pokinacha, don't be shy - please share your for-sale link. On account that it must be one of the best for-sale candidates looking for a 172/182 to buy. With 120fwKw, that makes it roughly the same as a WRX if I'm not mistaken. So it's definitely worth OP having a look, I would have thought. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pokinacha 1,275 Posted 6, March 2017 Report Share Posted 6, March 2017 @Pokinacha, don't be shy - please share your for-sale link. Now I feel bad. But the 172 does have a spare tyre and better suspension that a standard 182... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clixx-io 786 Posted 6, March 2017 Report Share Posted 6, March 2017 I only meant that your car is the coolest and hopefully it's the next one to get sold to a newcomer wanting something awesome. I'm sure there are other deserving cars to be sold, but I'm hoping that http://www.ozrenaultsport.com/index.php?/topic/27527-nswact-2003-clio-172-with-itbs/ will be the next to be sold. As many would know, it takes a lot of extra effort to get ITB's working and a newcomer would struggle for perhaps years to develop a car as good as this. It's just my opinion that a newcomer should take a serious look at this over a 182 but hey, it's the buyers money, so whatever you get, enjoy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
