My 172 is my 3rd Renaultsport,having previously had a 182,then a 200,then moved onto the VXR,now onto my 172. I actually quite liked it to be fair,was mapped to 285bhp and was obviously a lot quicker than my Clios,and loved the note from the Remus exhaust. Handling was poor in comparison...

Had white wheels on my Astra VXR 'Burg. Never again!! (that's to having white wheels and ever owning an Astra VXR again) White wheels look ace when clean,but unfortunately that lasts all of 5 minutes.

Looks well specced. Just missing the Speedlines.

Anyone know if these Ramair filters need oiled before fitting?

Nice one. Gonna get some Powerflex bushes,and can only see them listed for the SMI rack.

Is there a choice of steering racks on a 2003 172? Need rack bushes desperately!

Your right! That's exactly where it's coming from. Gonna have to see if I can sort this out though,is a tad annoying.

I just picked up a 2003 172....and have this exact same issue! Surely not normal. My old 182 certainly never did this.

Away to go pick up a Monaco Blue 172. First thing needed done to it is a suspension change. Looking at Gaz and Bilstein b14 coilovers. Had b14s on my Astra VXR Burg,quite liked them to honest. What like are they on a Clio? Any reviews on Gaz? Also,looking at changing top mounts,both lower...

Going to look at a 2003 Monaco 172. Covered 73k. Belts been done in the last 1k. Totally standard. Looks real tidy,not long had a full paint correction. Only down side is it has very little service history. Whats a rough value on this? The guys got it up for £1800 but reckon thats a bit steep.

The white 200 was probably me. I was on route down to the highland show round about then. Did it have a cup spoiler?

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day. Away to the dealer I bought my 61 plate 200 from. I bought the car start of december. Car was 1st registered Sep. 2011 so that makes it roughly 5 months out of Renault warranty although I did take out a warranty with the dealer. Now my list of...

2002 called....it wants his car back.

I recently put a Pipercross panel filter in my 200. Now got a terrible flat spot, so its going in the bin along side your KTR filter. Back to standard for me I think.

Cambelt is 6 years on the 200 is it not?

I had a Royal re-trim on my 182. Was very happy with the quality of job done and I personally liked the chunkyness of it,felt so much better to drive over the standard wheel. As above,sure it worked out about 105 after I sent the old wheel back.

Perfect,cheers for that.

Just picked up my GW 200 today. Loving it so far. Only downside I'd say so far is the Recaros seem very flimsy. The drivers bolster has a slight bit of wear and would like to get this sorted before it gets worse. Anyone recommend anywhere in Scotland who repairs seats? Was thinking on getting...

My 182 also does this. Never have gotten to the bottom of it.

I've got a Miltek on my 182. If your looking for noise I would look else where,as it aint loud at all,which is how like it. Saying that my cats still in place so could be different with a de-cat.

Wouldn't waste your money. Cheapo springs,reckon the ride will be awful.

My 182 is not handling quite as well as it should, so I'm looking to give the steering and suspension an over haul. What parts should I be looking to change? Got a set of Eibach sportlines coming, and waiting on a price for a new set of standard shocks Should I be looking to change the...

Cheers. Will give it a bash. Means taking the wheel off again,just hope the air bag comes off easier this time.

After swapping my steering wheel over tonight,I now have the serv and traction control warning light now on. Followed the guide on here and was simple enough. Any idea what the problem could be. Double checked all the wires were properly connected before putting air bag back on. Don't fancy...

Got it,thanks chaps.

I need to disconnect my battery for fitting my new steering wheel. Does the standard CD player have a security code? Cos I don't have one!

Engine bay needs a good tidy up. Got a battery cover coming,just needs the engine cover painting. What paint do I need for doing this? Looking to paint it Orange.

Looks good. Get it waxed though or it won't stay polished for long.

Spotted a LY182 heading north on the A90,just passing Stracathro services about 7.40 this morning.

Nice that and defo the best colour. Needs a spoiler though imo.
