For some strange reason both my rear seatbelts have broke?? one wont lock and the other wont retract..
I really need to get these sorted A.S.A.P any idea how much they are new from renault??
Just got back from a weekend away in paris, was doing the normal sightseeing when a 172 came flying past me, had a little sticker in the back but couldnt see what it said.
Any members from there??
Would you ever buy a CAT D car?? it had a front end smash needed two front wings bonnet bumper lights and rad.
He's been completey honest about it and its very cheap. Should i entertain it or not..
If you have a phase 1 172 you dont have to worry about the engine management light, they only have one sensor which is before the cat ;) my light came on for about 30 miles then went off, its been of 4 nearly a year now.
it is very loud 98 + Db but i wouldn't say it sounds crap, watch this...
Rolling roads are a can of worms IMO i had my 172 tested when i first got it, it produced 175 bhp but more importantly 170 ft lb of torque theres no way that this is right, car only had a cat back on it.
There made out of tin cans :) LOL you have to be careful not to dent the door when you close it :D
i certainly wouldnt like to hit ANYTHING in one, nice steaming hot turbo sitting on your lap :D
Good pics i was there im my 300zx :( tried two runs, 1st one i got loads of wheelspin which caused two coil packs to pop off running on 4 cly :( 2nd run i got 14.7 @ 105 mph couldnt get any traction so i gave up :)
funny thing is i got 14.8 in my ph 1 172 lol track was alot better tho...
IMO the standard alarm is very good it is CAT 1 after all. its even got anticar jack, hold the door lock botton ( the one next to the gearstick ) for 5 seconds you will hear a beep. Now everytime you drive of the doors will lock :)
anyway back to your question i would stick with the...
87 k now still going strong, few trackdays & 1/4 runs thrown in there too :D
The exhaust is custom made cats removed. sounds nice when your in the mood but when your not its just to noisey.
Got bored so i did another video, just a short one :) done a little exhaust clip at the end, its a bit loud :D i love my camera mount cant wait till summer arrives.

Yer i went to Danetre :). I went to MK with him about 5 months ago, i think he lives in Woodford.
I see him most days parked up, his missus lives near me ;)
380 Bhp its a monster, but so is the petrol bill :( 20mpg on a long motorway drive 10 - 15 mpg any other time. :( cant complain tho it will do 170 mph :D
Ive been dying to test my new camera mount i got for Xmas, so i made to short videos, there not very good but or is the weather :(

so the BIGGER wheels, the cruise control equipment, auto lights, auto windscreen wipers, climate control big fat heavy bonnet weighs just 10 KILOS??? lol the alloy bonnet on mine weighs 10kg's lighter then the phase 2 one.
i would say theres a good 50kg between the two models IMO
this might be a daft question but how does the bonnet open ?? if you look at the pic the bonnet grille and front bumper are joined together or am i missing something?? :D
