Alright mate if you are thinking of fixing it yourself theres a 172 front bumper on ebay and a pair of xenon headlamps

Seen this silver 16v just on superleggeras with cliosport sticker in rear quarter

Sounds like it could be the oxygen sensor

Mine had got more work done than nicks,it seemed nearly as quick before the luminition, the standard ecu packed up so it was only a bit dearer to have the luminition.It was quick but i wanted more power and it was starting to get very hard to gain anymore power and now ive got a 172 that fels...

You could buy a nice TVR cerbera for less than 20 grand i think i would rather drive a tvr round than a mini and still have the 17grand to spare

My mate works for bmw now and thinks bmw are the best things going,i think there overpriced overated and most of them not very quick,isnt the cooper s works about 20 grand

This was what i was argueing about i said the 182 has more spec and cheaper you could spend a couple of grand on a 172/182 engine and still have a couple of grand to spare

I had everything done at once id probably say headwork & cam i had a hillpower cold air induction kit on mine

Has anyone had a play with a cooper s works i was having a bit of a disagreement with someone about this today?

What do you know about my old old car ?It had got a luminition management aswell i watched it on the rollers all the work was carried out by hillpower if you think his rollers are wrong take it up with him

I had a piper cam in my megane coupe 1.6 8v with a polished and ported head williams injecters ,stainless 4 branch & decat 130 bhp on the rollers

Id go and get it them set up properly otherwise you might aswell not have them

it doesnt use the same management system as a 172/182, its magnett marrelli

Whats wrong with Y fronts never mind v6s i used to love my brown & cream Ys

Porks the best you get crackling

I suppose the new clio will be 200bhp just like the clio 172 is 172 bhp i think not

The cup race engine uses a different management system aswell to a 172/182,it uses a magnetti marreli system [Edited by matty w on 05 August 2005 at 4:46pm]

There well expensive that cup was nearly 10 grand

Bilstein dont do coilovers for 172s anymore there basically h&r anyway Also edde where can you get 4 pots for £400 for a 172 ?

I might go to tesco again today see if shes there,that welcome car centre that have all the stupid clios they had a 52 plate cup for sale before?could be that one

I seen a 172 on the rollers with a 2.5 inch straight through exhaust with no cat and it was losing power i know everyones gonna disagree with me but it was losing power due to no back pressure

I only used that as an extreme example what im getting at is people concerntrate on 200bhp to much,mine was 193 on the rollers doesnt mean a 200bhp would slaughter mine,

why dont you cut the middle man out and go to fk,

Is she nice

Why is everyone so obsessed with 200bhp,it doesnt mean anytrhing,Ian at europarts who tune r5s always said the same he would have a car in take it on road test and it would be rapid then put it on the rollers and it would get 200bhp.Then hed get others in that wouldnt feel nothing special on...

It wernt an after market alarm i took it to get another alarm fitted and the bloke told me it had a renault one on it

Mines an import and its got an alarm even though the place i had it off said it didnt

i never bothered looking at them just pressumed they where normal 182 wheels you b*astard

where did you get them from? Ive just brought a set off speedline, there supposed to be here tomorrow, had to wait for them to come from Italy cost £125 a wheel.
