Another thing is 172's dont feel as fast as there actually going because of the high driving position !!

You'd be hard fetched to notice any dfference between a Eibach drop and standard ride height. Are you planning on changing the shocks as well ?? I was a bit like you when i decided to drop my car a year back. I'd read that Eibach give good handling with little or no drop and the other...

If you want long lasting alloy wheels that stay in a sort of round shape dont but TSW 's !!

Not one that you would notice no.

It was either at 38 or 48 tho, cant remember which, that i felt my 172 really loosen up

Quote ad: ''I would preferably like to keep my plate P66WEE (PEEWEE!!) as its worth approx £600 but may inclued dependind on buyer.'' I wonder what the buyer has to do to qualify for his reg plate hahaha

Wonder who's doing that conversion hahaha First i'd clean out the throttle body cos it might just be sticking. Ive had that sticking a few times but not as high as 1500 to 2000 rpm. Also had a manifold gasket go and that made it rev up high to about 1500

20 thousand revs per minute !!! hell what you got under the bonnet there mate pmsl. Could be a sticky throttle body, a gasket leaking or maybe a sensor

Will they not just issue a kind of producer to give you time to get it changed or is it a instant fine ??

Who put that white van there ?? No silver Clio's either !! quite amazing lol

Wheels are a bit dirty in this pic but it gives a idea of what white rims on a silver car look like

Yup, thats how some folk i know get round it

That'll be written off. Its a very expensive job to replace a rear quarter panel, [ mainly labour charges cos there's a lot of time involved ] the back pillar's mashed up, boot's took a hit and it'll need to be jigged. At a guess i'd say a good half to 3 quarters worth of the cars value to...

Would a standard 172 / 182 gearbox be strong enough for a LSD ??

Getting or trying to get to 200bhp isnt cheap m8. With those mods you wont be far off 200. Unless your keeping the car a while, i wouldnt take on TB or a Turbo convo....even bigger money !!

Geeezzzzzz Bet without it, it would never get under 6 seconds either !!! Well on the Gripper site there's 2 for the Clio. One at £840 and the other at £1270 Not sure which would be the one to use for a 172 / 182 but if you could get one bought and fitted for 1.5k, it might be a...

Cup drivers will also weigh less than a full phat 172 driver due to them losing weight from sweating thanks to no air con in the summer months !

Ive got a Janspeed de-cat and you really could feel the difference in performance !! Well worth it imo. MOT time is the only thing that might put folk off with either having to find somewhere who'll sneak it through or having to put the orig cat back on.

Got talking to a lad who owns a Pug 206 180 and he said he's lucky to get out of the 20's when it comes to mpg !!!

3k eh ?? http://www.racecar.co.uk/gripper/

Agree, they should a made white a colour option

Roughly how much longer is a 182 manifold compaired to a 172 one ?? How much would i have to lop off the zorst ?? Also would the hangers have to be modded at all ?? I went to price a 182 manifold up from my local Renault dealer and they wanted 400+ !!!

You'll feel a difference with a de-cat, a induction kit and a exahust. Maybe best getting it remapped though if doing that. You'd be spending including re-map roughly £1200 - £1400 Add cams, £600ish head work £600ish and maybe say a 182 manifold and your looking about £2600 - £2800 for 200 bhp

No it won't make the car ''worse'' as you put it. The only thing it ''might'' do is run a little lean and to get the best out of it i'd personally get a re-map but you'd have to speak to Ben cos im not a expert. I got mine done in conjunction with cam's head work etc etc Its well worth...

Why not ?? There designed to be driven hard and run a lot better for it !!

5k for a vag engine including fitting and modded to 285bhp ??

No its all internal work. As for the insurance and the warranty even if they took the motor to bits they wouldnt be able to tell. All it is shaving metal

Devil products always have been on the loud side. No its very quiet. You can have a convo at any speed without having to shout !! Ok its louder than having a cat but not loud enough to annoy. I do a lot of motorway miles and fast A roads and i never notice its there. Mind you its...

I take it these kits are just for the front ?? Whats the best set up for every day use for the rear ?? Worth up grading or not ?? Cheers

I got told what it was having done but all i remember is it was gonna cost errr a lot and it would be mental !!
