CAE shifter looks great!

I would get it mapped at EFI.

That was me and Christopher.

I had a set of engraved 2118's, they have a different offset too.

Getting the 'mint' white set resprayed red and these will become my track wheels :wink: RC6 pads are what I am currently running mate (I really rate them too) and will continue using for track work- ring trips etc. I plan on running something a little less aggressive to try and keep my new...

Cheers mate, they have a lovely silver flake too but my iPhone can't capture it.

June/ July 2016- 155k update. As I mention in my last update, during and after the 'Ring trip I had a misfire issue. So I booked the car into Rentech for Mike to give it a good check over and had the following replaced: TDC sensor Both lower front anti roll bar bushes Power steering pressure...

Yes they rust really quickly, I had a set a while ago.

My track car is road legal, but I plan on getting a trailer soon mainly for 'Ring trips and uk track days, even then I'll keep my 172 road legal as it makes testing parts and different setups easier if the car is still road legal.

Yes fairly loud, but it doesn't drone as much as my old ktec stealth system. I really like mine.

How to ruin a 172.

I smashed my iPhone 6 screen a couple of weeks ago, and Apple replaced it for £80 that includes a 3 month warranty.

I like my 330mm sabelt wheel.

I don't actually fine mine that 'fun' to drive, sure it's fairly quick ( 99% sure the previous owner remapped it) and great for motorway miles etc, but I have/ never would just take it out for a B road blast.

Looks great! .....So what did the RS2, and PMS manifold make power wise?

Great cars, we've had ours for 5.5 years now. Once moving it's quick,and is great on fuel and very cheap to run, probably the best car I have owned to date.

2.5.

Itb's all day :)

Hi Ben. I used the OEM Renault bolts for the seat belt rails. I'll get some pics for you tomorrow/ sat.

Yes I have run DS2500/ DS3000 the CL RC6 have the best cold bite IMO. If the car is used mainly on the road I would run CL RC5 pads, Brembo HC discs.

ATM I am running CL RC6 pads, and these have much better bite when cold compared to OEM pads, and when hot work even better.

The only time I noticed my pads moving around the caliper is when I reserve slowly and apply the brakes lightly. Yes they squeal and will probably get louder once they have a few heat cycles though them, and the dust will ruin wheels, remember these are a track/ race pad.

Fingers crossed mate. I've never heard about the 172 having a stronger head.

The R26.R was sold at a bad time, just as last recession hit IIRC. The mini GP didn't come with rear seats and that sold well. I personally would rather the new Clio RS 16 didn't have rear seats.

Some engines are weaker than others, my 172 is now on 155k and I give it hell on track/ 'ring but service it regularly etc..and it still makes 174.5bhp (Surrey Rolling Road)

Looks great, I would love one. I personally hope it's made in limited numbers, as I think it'll be pretty much depreciation proof (much like the R26.R Megane Trophy R)

If Renault do make and it's manual, and around 275bhp then I would personally take it over a new Civic type R, Focus RS etc.

I very much doubt the 98 Ron map caused engine failure. I have had the 98 Ron map on my 172 for years with no issues.

Manual IIRC.

Looks good. All the 220 trophy owners moaning, Renault always do this!
