If you had a good budget and your gonna keep the car a new gearbox from renault isnt as much as you think and they have changed the design on the new boxes instead of a circlip theres a retaining plate with 3 13mm bolts holding the diff in,who's fitting the engine ?

if you have so much money why are you driving a 172,you must have to much spare time of your own if your looking at peoples profiles seeing how old they p.s i think you should definatly get lexus lights you deserve them

i think a shoe horn would come in handy

theres someone on hear who's just started his own business in portsmouth,i hear good things about him look in the media section there was a meet there on saturday mike172sport is his user name

i very much doubt it nick never advertises things,i´ve had magnecor leads on the last three cars ive had and never had a problem with them,the leads get very hot on the 172 as they sit on the rocker cover iirc

I could be wrong but i think the standard leads on a 172/182 get really hot and break up,my standard leads were starting to break up after 5000 miles,i think the magnecor hold the heat out better due to the material,i had mine off nick very good price too

I could be completely wrong but the uprated cams dont need shims do they

whats wrong with the exhaust not been really loud that would be an added bonus,and i would say the supersprint sports cat would be top notch as supersprint always make good systems you get what you pay for

you can have a set of 6 pot tarox for just over 600 quid

yeah thats why scooby´s etc that are imported have to be mapped to our fuel because japans ron is 100

if the vvti did not work the car would idle very roughly it cuts off roughly below 2grand i think i couldbe wrong but i´m sure someone will correct me,yeah i like the one about the handpicked maybe they were picked from ones made on a friday afternoon,the 182 manifold on a 172 is a lot of work...

you might get more power out of the 5 gt engine but you´ll also get loads of hassle,plus arnt you going back in time taking out an engine that runs on injection and putting a 5 engine in thats carb,the 16v engine would be a nice gain

the RON rating of fuel doesnt mean the octane it means the resistance to knock so it wont give you more power,just the power the engine should have

tarox are doing a new disc and pad package for the 172,will have mine in a few weeks if anyones interested speak to nick at hillpower

Have to agree with stu on this one i´ve never seen the point in building a car you can buy,fair enough doing 2 litre conversions on the valvers,but a 172 conversion i just cant see the point

as long as you like like it thats the main thing,hope it all goes to plan for you

Car looks really nice specialy with recero´s but i cant agree with you about 182 wheels looking better than anthracite turini´s

how about going for a sports cat it saves the hassle of having to put the cat back on for the MOT and i know a lot of people have them on here but i think they sound raspy

i use auto glym leather cleaner then auto glym leather care cream once every six months,i dont think it does it any good to constantly clean it according to autoglym

I think its about 30psi rear and 33psi front

isnt that ian m's red five going up the strip

isnt it somthing to do with the tc working off the abs

If your loaded mate then why are you driving around in a crummy clio?if i was loaded i'd have my 172 to play around with and have a tvr or noble

Renault probably spent thousands designing the bodywork on a clio v6 in wind tunnels,which would have been designed to give more downforce to the back wheels and downforce to the rear wheels on a fwd isnt much good,a bit like putting a cossie spoiler on a fwd

pure quality

what about gold tailpipes a gold grill and a gold sunstrip for that finishing touch now that would look prper brown bread

did you have the camber setup when you fitted the coilovers if not might be worth having them laser alligned otherwise not much point having them,if you did have them setup and you have changed the wheels that can knock it out

Sorry to be an arse but ive never seen the point in building a car you can buy,for how much it would cost you could sell the 172 and use the money which you would need to do it and buy a mk1 v6

thats the one by the island i put a post on spotted before but you cant of noticed,it looks pretty mint

sorry to go off topic but do you work in aldridge derv?i see a silver 16v with superleg's quite often
