http://www.perfectpower.com/products/smt6.asphttp://www.perfectpower.com/products/smt6.asp Im currently deciding between this and the Dastek Unichip Im leaning towards the SMT-6 because I dont have to take it to a Dastek tuner to make adjustments, its slightly cheaper than the Dastek chip...

Id rather watch the rev counter than the speedo :devilish:

Yep, its the little jobbie behind the heatshield...Its not physically loose but after I stick my hand down there and push and pull on it, the speedo works

is that the thing which tells the speedo how fast youre going?

yeah, it looks (feels) like there are two things behind the heatshield, but since those were the only things I fiddled with, its bound to be one of them

Had a quick fiddle this morning and the speedo worked for most of my trip to work. Sounds like a loose connection. Ill try get a closer look

You just wait till I drop a RS Megane lump into my 172...can you spell 2-2-5:devilish:

Cool, thanks, will have a fiddle tonight. I was actually fiddling on the right hand side (there is a connector there too)

Ive got nitrogen in my tyres cost me a fiver extra when I bought the toyos so I figured what the heck. Wouldnt do it again tho

btt

Where is it? How do I spot it? What does it look like? My speedo stopped working again today and I dont want to have to leave the car at Renault again.

over inflated maybe?

It all comes down to looks really. The mk1s have all the same issues that the mk2s have, I was lucky to get a mk1 with a 3 year warrenty and I still have just under a year to go which is nice. On the earlier mk2s you only got xenon and climate control as opposed to the mk1s normal lights and...

I had Yoko A539s and I prefer the Toyos and they do protect the rims http://home.imaginet.co.za/viceroy/Trax/Rob-6.jpg

WTF? the VVT in the 172 is there for smooth idling purposes only! The surge you feel from about 4500 is the car coming on cam

Dont forget that 172s have ABS + EBD too...dont wanna lose that now do you. If it supports those then Im up for one on my mk1

Yep, winnings winning, and you should leave him for dead over a long motorway duel. Round a track though and they will be very close. It might also depend if youve got a strong 172 or a weak 172, and whether hes got a freak of nature VTS or a normal VTS

Well, the other night my speedo stopped working for no reason (thats what I told Renault), Actually I downshifted to 3rd when I was trying to change up to 5th on the motorway. Dropped the car off this morning at 9am, told them the problem, and the first thing the receptionist asks me is "Is...

you are correct in your assumptions...but also remember that cars arent airtight and air still gets in. The extra strong blast of air is normal

whats this Renault double spoiler?

Does anyone have a proper answer to this question

and back to the topic? is it ATE?

lol...and seriously?

Does anyone know who manufactures Renaults OEM brake pads for the 172? ta
