Damn this slow 1mb connection ;) Is this a MK1 or a MK2 172 BTW?

Sounds like a feck up to me. Welcome to Renault ownership!

I hardly notice any difference with the AC on either. My 1.4 used to die with the AC on, and the MK2 172 felt a bit sluggish, but this one seems to be fine with it.

Notice they say highest possible, not actually the highest quality!

Wongy, have you got an ITR lined up already?

West Bar, Sheffield. Right next to ASCAR (Exhaustsuk.com) where that atrocity was perpetrated. Rhys

Not too easy to see.....but theyre there...:confused: http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1060708740__172.jpghttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1060708740__172.jpg

Ive got 172 MK2 (Silver) vs Ibiza Cupra R (Red) with Vicky Bulter-Henderson if anyones interested. No space to host it though. Rhys

And mine! Oh bugger, Ive not got a V6 :-(

Spot on. Are those 17" Super Turismo? Id like some 16" Super-Leggera. OZ wheels suit 172s so well.

Its pretty close, down to a few tenths either way. mk1 is same weight as a cup + spare wheel and toolkit. Mk2 70 odd kg heavier but with a shorter gear box. Evens itself out i reckon.

Ive been using that turtle was spray. Found it works pretty damned well, and the tyre shine stuff is good too. Rhys

epic - Had a similar problem on my Williams after I had a decat pipe fitted. I think the exhaust system passes over rear axle and if not fitted properly it rattles and buzzes on it. Extremely annoying. Id take it back to where the work was done and ask them to take a look at it. I was fed some...

I think Cliosport is selling those V6 books for a tenner!

£1.3k for a new head :o I wonder how much it would cost to build a 172 out of parts purchased from Renault?!

Poltergeist maybe?

Not much good on an F4R engine though :confused: If youve still got your cup, Ill buy the head off that for £25. you bung the F7R head on it and sell it like that, everyones a winner ;)

Are you able to do it on an exchange basis? Only got the one car now and we both need it. Would be willing and able to pay £400 for the work though. I could easily come down to Bristol (as I probably mentioned before). Rhys

How expensive? How long would it take?

Does seem to stick out quite a long way. Whats the advantage to having this exhaust on a 1.2? Especially if it doesnt make any extra noise? :confused:

Should be the Cliosport anthem too. Can it be pinned? :p

Feck, thats scary. Fits to the tune so well it should be re-recorded and sent to Renault! And yes, you clearly have a lot of time on your hands ;)

I suppose if anyone has enough goes at 1/4 miling, then there will come a point where they wont be able to beat there own times any more. When it comes down to it, its just accelerating in a straight line, which isnt that difficult. I think it gives a reasonable indicator of your cars...

The Cup at John Nobles a few months back, the MK2 and the MK1 172s all put out 162bhp +/- 1bhp calculated flywheel figures. Im really starting to not trust any rolling road at all. Different places give very different figures for the same car. And yes, the temperature would probably make some...

Its actually just wedged in with that heat shield. Previously I had it secured with 2 cable ties attached together and wrapped around a bit of engine bay. If your main hose is strapped in tight enough, it sort of just holds the filter in place anyway. Rhys Edit - link to the pics...

Yeah, Id go for the MK1 bumper and MK2 lights. Those photoshop jobs do look suprisingly good.

Kind of fancy going back to motorbiking (cheap commuting). My insurance premium will have gone up a fair bit now and I dont think we can afford to insure two performance clios without me having full no claims.

For the sake of 2 hours and £15, hed be a fool not to.

I put 2 threads up about this over the last week or so - all the pics and where I got the stuff from etc if anyone else wants a go. Rich-D - Thats GOT to be sorted out!!!
