Has anyone fitted these tweeters into the original place in dash? just wondering if they are easy to fix in place of the originals, i/e just a case of taking old ones out & fitting new ones in their place? or is there something more major to do to get the old ones out & fix the new ones in...

nice.. might have to go & try this

Damn.. thought i'd been spotted but Noooo I was down the mall tonight but it's WR53 :-( Oh well.. i'll keep on driving in hope

i was offered supaguard on my car when i bought it (2nd hand from renault) i said no, but after looking on my car there is a small sticker on the rear side window saying 'supaguard protected'? has it already been done by the previous owner?? who knows

when i bought my 172 from a local dealer, it seemed a little cheaper (for year & mileage) when compared to parkers guide, But i bought it anyway & it's fine.. that was a 53plate 172 cup 1 owner with 8k miles on it for £8.2k a while back now though. I was a little unsure to begin with as it...

My old man had a set of these disks (not from ebay though) from a couple of years back.. i'm sure he had a little problem using them to begin with, but they worked after a fiddle.. I'll try to remember to ask him when i see him. Then again it could just be yet another ebay scam!... If it's...

One of my old cars had a little hidden switch that disconnected the Fuel pump.. (just a shame the previous owner didn't tell me what the hidden switch was for, before i had the immobiliser ripped out when it wouldn't start!!! god knows how i switched it??)

I had a problem with my '172' cup.. i'm insured with privilige and it's down as a 172 sport I have spoken to them and it's so say correct. They don't have a 2003 172 cup on their system? they have a 2002 172 cup & a 182 cup? Strange

From Bryans advice i am going to go for some slx230s to run off my standard HU... Just deciding on whether to go for the deluxe or not?.. would i notice any difference between the two? By looking at the pics, it looks like the deluxe have a larger crossover.. (harder to hide) :-)

Thats spot on... very nice looking motor. I do like the Blue dash.. don't think i'm brave enough to attempt it myself though lol

I will go and break the bad news to my Bristolian Cup now.. that one of his family has gone to the big scrap yard in the sky... I'll be thoughtful & not show him the photos..

I found privilige to be the Cheapest for my 172 cup (although they havn't got a 2003 cup on their system so it's a sport?)... I'm 27, 7 years NCB, no accidents (touch wood) of convictions & i pay around £500 FC with all the extras. I do seem to change every year mind you, sainsbury's were...

Praaaaper filth that still looks ncie though :-) I actually used to get down Woolacombe, croyde, saunton & all that quite a bit..for the day trips, when it's a bit warmer mind you.. not as brave as i used to be!!! winter surfing.. too damn hard to get them winter suits on. Tended to do...

Blue 172 with Turini's sat outside a pet food shop (jollies, i think)in Longwell green, Bristol.

i'm in need of finding something for the cup too, for long journeys. Keeping my eye out for a single turini for the boot...

Just popped into Halfords to have a little lookaround while on a bit of a skive from working in weston today & saw a rather dirty ;-) but nice looking 182 sat by the front door to the shop. Had a Gumball 3000 sticker in the rear window. Anyone?

^^^ Yeah and that :-)

I was actually worried it might add some lol as i don't seem to have any at the moment.. (i'd better go out & check it really is a renault lol)

Mitchzxr - if file sharing doesn't work, make sure it is enabled on both pc's (i know this may sound obvious but it is soo easy to over look) Just right click on any drive within winxp and select the Sharing and Security option to set it up. Do that on both pc's as it may be set up on one &...

With wireless....if you just switch it all on & find it works, then yes anyone within range can tap into your net connection plus see any shared folders/printers.. etc.. Some things you will want to try & do are: 1. make sure you switch on WPA or WEP whichever your hardware supports.(WPA being...

Thanks... I'm sure i'll check with you guys, the finer points of dash removal before doing it..

car looks nice & shiny.... but.... No

ok thanks mate.. So from your excellent advice i might have to purchase myself a set of Rainbow components.. (still don't wanna take that dash apart lol) I'll see how money is after xmas as to which ones i get. Thanks alot for your replies you've helped me no end.. Cheers

ahh i'm starting to get the picture.. i knew the OEM ones were pretty shite, but only really form the fact that they blow for a past time, now you mention the 5w rms.. things become clearer. Just looking at the Rainbow ones now (sad looking at the internet on a saturday night i know!!!) You...

:-) phew.. as long as it's not just mine.. Like i say, once i've actually moved the car a little the brakes crack from their rust bit on the discs & it's ok.. it's just that bit where you don't move for a second when pulling away off the drive & hearing it crack off that worried me a bit! i...

Thanks for that Bryan, i may well look at the Rainbows as you suggest (i only seem to look at what i know, and not really into ICE i havn't heard of rainbow, so it's nice to hear about these things) 1 thing though, would you think i'd benefit from these types of speakers running from the...

After leaving my car over night when it's been raining (it's hardly been nice since buying the car!), in the morning i go to pull away & the rear brakes are stuck right on & bang when released! I know disks brakes do, do this a bit as when left for a while, but this car seems to be worse than...

i tend to do mine myself half way between the service intervals.. so every 6k i suppose, on my current car. and get it serviced at a garage at the recommended times.

I'm looking into upgrading the speakers in my 172, but can't really decide. First up i was looking at: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/1250.html but i am keeping the standard HU so would i benefit from these? or should i just go for some Coaxials.. like...

I got my Denison Ice Link through the post today (bloody quick delivery!) and after bending some wire coat hangers.. removed the stereo (without disconnecting) and fitted it no problems what so ever. I fed the dock cable into the glove box & pushed the ice links cables & small plasticy covered...
