miko_supra Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 As the title says...any good? just looking for a fun supra alternative for when winter comes around, and for getting to work and back. I've seen some ok ones going for around £2000... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 A mate of mine works for Renault and has owned 172, 188 and the 255hp V6, all resonable little pocket rockets. I really liked the V6 and they are not too expensive now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franko Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Arent the V6's really poor compared to the 182? Handling is poor and it gets far too warm in the cabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Nothing wrong with the V6's, just people still expect them to handle like front engined front drive shopping trolleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 the 172's are great fun bud! mate had one and has now upgraded to the 182! was thinking about putting the engine in my megane ! you can also get turbo conversion kits that puts them upto around 300bhp! a place that sells and fits the kit claims that the demo they have can keep up with a 520bhp skyline until it hits 145! http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2107 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 To be fair its pretty tough job getting a V6 to handle well with where they put the engine, its still a pretty great car tho with its mental styling and engine behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 If you are going to get a 172... get the CUP!! Two of my mates have had them, and they loved 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I recall that V6s were more fun but reach their limits and your fooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
