go back the the dealer and request the service book. It will have info like delivery date, radio code etc, all things you might need later in the cars life

Took my car in yesterday for its 45,000km service as well as to get the speedo unit replaced (last time they just reconnected it to the gearbox) Dropped my car off at 8am, stated the extras I wanted sorted out on the car, and got a lift home by one of the salesmen. I got a phonecall at 12 to...

6*9s are the cheap way of getting some bass into your car. A mate of mine has a Golf 4 1.6 and when he did his sound he went all Pioneer with replacement comps at the front, replacement coax in the rear doors and 4 220W 6*9s in a custom made parcelshelf which pretty my made an airtight fit in...

I know Im a bit late in replying but Ive watched some of the vids and all I can say is "WOW - I gotta get me some of that". Just a question though, does the car howl like that all the time or only when you open the throttle wide

Id say steer clear if you have or plan on getting a sub. If not they are a decent way to get midbass in your car (some people dont like very deep bass)

My car maxes out at 196.720km/h in 5th @ 5500rpm This is a speedtrap clocked speed on a highspeed oval. I also tried with a passanger to see if it would affect the speed. Didnt make a difference, in fact made 0.480km/h difference on the 3km oval 210 was clocked on the same oval with a...

Noticed some banging when I was playing in the rain, spinning through first and second...thought it could have been wheel tramp...guess Ill get the mounts looked at during the service

I was at a friends place last night, and left at about 10pm in the rain. The complex where they live is pretty new so the access road is still untarred and there are no lights at the main entrance, which normally isnt a problem. I pull up at the exit gate and wait for security to buzz me...

On Saturday the highest speed was set by a Superboss at 248. Sunday was rained out tho. I havent checked my tyres byt they seem ok. From speaking to one of the VW challange driver you just drive below the big bump...which seemed to work, but the car got a little loose exiting the bend. I...

Ran at Gerotek. 1st run 196.200km/h (backing off before the banked corner) 2nd run 196.720km/h (flat out all the way) I think Im not getting any higher because of the 16" 205/45 wheels. Strange thing is my revs were holding 5,500rpm...one would think that once the 172 is in the power...

Are these worth the money? If I was to get some, what is the ideal camber setting for a mk1 172?

I dont have access to the site from work (firewall filtering) but I saw the link and pics on http://www.wheels24.co.zawww.wheels24.co.za, just have a look around the site. Im sure you;ll find the New Clio article

Why not wait for the next Clio which basically looks like a mini 2-dr Megane...from what Ive read it should also have the 225bhp turbo lump

Mk1 front Mk2 rear Mk1 gear knob Mk1 seats Mk1 wheels

Tighten your engine engine cover.....mine was loose and rattling at about 4k rpm

roamer...do the 552s just fit straight in?

I did some asking about on the subject of availability of the mk1 172 and during its 6 month run in SA, only about 30 were imported into the country, so the mk1 is quite a rare car indeed. Interesting idea to get speed and sound to do a feature, although I do quite enjoy the car being...

roamer, how far along is the car now? Last I saw was that vid of the car being reversed into the workshop

Apparentlt the BMC does sounds nice and performs decently too, dunno where youd get them

Definately change the lot. I replaced the HU with a Pioneer unit and am well happy with its performance. Now Im just trying to find some speakers which would be matched to the 50W mosfet amp...problem is all the speakers Ive looked at are 30W or are rated much higher than the amp...grrr

When I was buying my mk1 172 I was on the lookout for a yellow one but all I found were loads of silvers,, loads of blacks 1 red high mileage and 1 blue one with low mileage (which I bought)

I would use unleaded for normal daily driving (which means I wouldnt have to convert the fuel cap) Id just use 102 racing fuel (which is leaded) on event days. I wonder how much it would be to get 97 up here from the coast or even if it is available at any pumps here. No, havent run at...

Yip I know, but leaded petrol clogs up the platinum plugs so Id be changing to ones which wouldnt be affected by the lead

Well it looks like for the time being its just the two of us since... Roastie is more interested in his Ford Laser 1600 than his wifes Clio 172 smileysport unfortunately sold his 172 when he moved down to the coast sl*gat I havent heard from is quite a while Cheyenne I also havent heard...

forget it, those sorts of things youd need to import specially. The stuff smiley found was a limited import of clear side repeaters, a place for colour coding, and foam replacement filters. The big stuff like splitters, spoilers, etc are very hard to come by.

What are you looking for? I was in contact with Smileysport last year and I might still have some of the contact details.
