From what Ive seen they hang too low. If i were you Id go for the twin back box thats the one i hope to get soon anyway

Mmmm might be best sticking with the standard 15s then.

Ive got the standard 15" OZ rims on at the mow 195 / 50 tyres [ mk1 172 ] Would like to upgrade to 16" rims but Im a bit worried that Ill lose some performance due to the bigger wheels/ tyres having a slightly larger rolling radius. [ about 5mm ] Has anyone gone from a 15 to 16" rims and...

Did you manage to get any kind of performance figures out of K-tec , 0-60 ,0-100 and mpg etc etc ?

I imagine the 7.2 to 60 will be to compensate for the excess wheelspin [ rings similar bells to what people were saying about the LAD conversion but I wont start that old chestnut up again ] As for being quicker you dont gain an extra 100bhp and feel nothing. The extra power will come in some...

I would have thought with anywhere near 250bhp your going to need a pretty heavy duty clutch and a LSD.

Now you no why I posted this topic......just f***** look at it man.... wooooooooooooooooow Any performance figures 0-60, 0-100, top speed etc please tell us more !!!

Anyone that gets blown away by a Evo isnt going to be too suprised are they......if the lad at my cruise with his say 250bhp turbod Cav got blown away by a 172 he maybe a little surprised to say the least.....as for the buying a Evo thing I couldnt really afford one either... I was just meaning...

Yer but that easy isnt it.......a 250+bhp 172 is going to get far more respect ,and suprise a few people ,than just going out and buying an EVO anyone can do that....anyway I dont want to sell my Clio.....just looking at the future options at the mow.

Does anybody know how the turbo kit for the 172 is coming along ? Is it out yet ? If not when ? Just that theres this Cavalier turbo knocking about my local cruise thats the it car at the moment meant to be really quick, not sure what bhp but Id guess about 250bhp ,so Id love to get a...

Have K-tec brought out the carbon bonnet out for the mk1 172s yet ?

I paid £260 couple of weeks back [ mk1 172 ].....sure someone posted on this subject the other week ? might be worth doing a search for more info.

Wow weve got two ladys one of 34 and one of 36 driving Clios so who can be crowned the oldest woman Clio driver on this site......what a accolade to behold surely ;)

Loads of really fit birds driving them near me. One Blonde girl in particular...... Haaaaaaaaaa sex wee ;)

Just go with the Eibach/Konis combo its a lot less hassle.....do Bilstein do a suspension kit for the 172s ?

Never heard that one before

mmmmmmm its a bit over the top ....... wonder what else could be crammed on to it..... maybe some flashing valve caps or.........

Anyone got any pictures of the K-Tec Clio they can put up on here.....saves me folking out £4 then. ;) and trying to get hold of PGTI is like er impossible

Ive had a backing off type rattle from new. It comes in at 41mph and at 51mph. only at those speeds and only when backing off......been in at the dealers 3 times now and each time they fix it, it comes back with in a month.

Hmmmm might be wanting someone to answer the post he or she wrote.....not sure though :confused:

On Monday I had the mk1 172s 36k service from a Reno dealer and it cost me £260

Wow whats all that about !!!

Its a well known fact that car washes damage your paint ...... its a bit like rubbing sand paper over the car ouch

The old man got his van rear window tinted and the bloke didnt need to take the window out and you cant tell ........... by the way the cops seem to be getting tough on dark tints now so be beware.....also the hot ladies cant see you if the tints too dark..... good in some cases though HeHe ;)

According to what I read a while back in one of those price guide things a late Y plate mk1 172 was worth about £300 more than the mk2 on the next reg plate up....couldnt belive it when I read it had to read it again I was so surprised. By the way what car you thinking of getting next...

As comedy Dave on Radio 1 says "every days a school day" ;)

Plus not all councils are as easy to claim against.....they might turn round and say to you prove that the wheel wasnt damaged before it hit the pot hole or something nice result though gunner ....goes to prove the old saying if you dont ask you wont get !!!

What ,you dont get a spare wheel with the 182 ? is that because of the exhaust pipes ?
