OK guys, I am getting the urge for turbo power again.

I am thinking of selling my Clio 172 to buy a fiesta turbo. This may sound a bit mental. But then again, it may not.

I bought the 172 because the VR6 I had was shagged. The rings had gone, and it hadnt really been well looked after. I was doing a lot of miles to the ex's house on a daily basis, so needed something nippy, but reliable. Enter..... Renaultsport Clio 172.

Now, this little hatch is a laugh. You can lob it around, and its very forgiving, but its just lost its thrill. I have even lowered it, but that just makes me hate it all the more now

I am being stupid in selling it to get an older, probably more unreliable car? Or is the lure of 200 horses in a fiesta a good call?

I no longer need a daily driver, and wont be doing as many miles....... but can i be arsed rolling around on the floor anymore trying to repair things?

Is the fiesta ever going to handle as well as the 172, without spending a fortune on specialist suspension stuff?

Arrrgghhhh

help, i need guidance

Get a starlet mate lol. Quicker, more reliable and handle better.

Before the 'pfihaveblinkers' on crew arrive I've had both.

Fiesta needs a proper live map, t3, rose jointed adjustabe wish bones and a zetec s rear beam to come close to handling.

Yh not hard. Just budget for it. Looking a grand to get it to handle and stop properly.

And get a proper live map to run the t3
