Youd have serious trouble making it handle..it would be like the modern day Nova 2.0 -Rob

Someone like Frizzell insurance doesnt count a turbo as a payable modification. Theres plenty of people here who want stuff on here..but never get. Turboing a 1.2 clio isnt as hard as whats being said on this thread. Van Aaken have been doing it to small engined cars for a few years now...

Leda are very good but i wouldnt give them a penny unless the kit was designed especially for the car opposed to made to fit..and theyre a complete waste unless you go on track quite a bit. -Rob

What are the renaultsport sideskirts ?

My local dealer is swamped with un-regd cups.. When i have climate on in my 1.2 i cant feel the slightest bit of difference, and i should feel it more apparent with just 75bhp. -Rob

lmao!

Full lock?

Yeah the damage is worth more than your cars value..20 quid ;)

You wont crash into anything at Castle Combe. -Rob

My life is google!

Because theyre expensive and not road legal...?

Well id be pretty pissed if i just ordered and paid for a 172 and there was a better model out a few months later...think of the depreciation! They have every right to vent their anger/worries as much as you have. -Rob

Its caused by running lean and then running rich..that transition turns sulphur trioxide into hydrogen sulphide. So basically youre running rich and the CAT is working harder. There could obviously be other problems with it..and without seeing you cant really pinpoint the problem so yeah, take...

01202 855020. http://www.k-tecracing.com/products/tailpipes/kt1_t.jpg You know it makes sense!

Well i can understand the frustration..but id be right on the phone to David at k-tec discussing the problem, and see if he can get someone to have a look as i doubt its the first 172 with the problem theyve seen? At the end of the day if the rattle is coming from the exhaust then a...

You can so easily turn it into a positive outcome..find yourself an exhaust right now! Is that titanium one out from k-tec, would be the baby for me! -Rob

Get a grip. Erase neons from your memory once again. -Rob

Yeah look for one with a female owner..or an old dears etc..as admits says with the free insurance available there are plenty of owners like me around!

Spark plugs should last 72k on the 172s. Having said that my 1.2 ones should of lasted 36k and instead one went after 6k.. -Rob

Are mk1 172s meant to have non painted bits?

My 1.2 16v Extreme cost £239 for that service, remember to ask them to kiss your feet as you walk into the dealership. -Rob

Well Jamie (boyracer666) considered my car faster than his 8v so id say yeah, especially when myself and Tom were pulling away from him when racing ahead of some sh*tbox up the M25 to a meet. Ive kept up with a new model 1.4 16v flatout, he pulled away at about 100 or so by a car length. Id take...

Yeah harsh reality is that the micra is better!

People always blame the car!

No mate i want to keep it! They cost silly money from Reno. -Rob

Ok had another go this weekend, managed to undo the screws. Saw the clips but couldnt undo them, couldnt work out how they came off? Ended up snapping a whole row of them clean off, doh! So whats the technique?? -Rob
