That I would have!

how can you not have EBD? my mk1 has EBD

you know what I mean, 172 has all the toys, cup is nippier

define better?:) for me its better to have aircon, abs, leather seats, thicker glass than to be 0.1s quicker to 60...

Rock...see if you can find out the part numbers for the Scenic handles and the Clio handles...if theyre the same then do it

My speedo isnt working. if I do the diagnostic thing (hold down trip computer and turn on ignition) the speedo moves around just fine. but when driving it doesnt budge. What could have happened? Can I fix it myself or do I have to take it to Renault for them to sort out

I want some!!! think the yellow would suit the blue brilliantly

I should think not...what if you werent driving the car

or a cup 3

Lol, my car is also usually in Hooligan mode except for when fuel funds are tight, then I play the "lets see how many miles I can get out of this tank" game, and the "lets see how fine I can cut it before filling up" game

Surely its not down to how short the ratios are but how the ratios match the engine characteristics, ie, when you change gear, the revs fall back down to max torque.

The best is when you drive like a granny for a week and then revert back to hooligan mode...the car feels so much quicker

Viv, they definately get better with time. When I bought mine it had done just over 13500 miles and it still felt very tight. Its now done just over 23500 miles and feels much better

Im in love with my Clio x------------------------x The machine of a dream Such a clean machine With the pistons a pumpin And the alloys all gleam When Im holding your wheel All I hear is your gear With my hand on your grease gun Oh its like a disease son Im in love with my Clio Gotta feel...

Hows it coming along with the TB conversion? still waiting for a working ECU

Arent the originals just plain OZ F1?

I love the look of the F1 Evo Cup wheels..very nice

Ive got a mk1 172 with 205/45/16 Toyo Proxes F-08 The handling is great, grip is great, overall, great!:)

ABS will stop the wheels locking up, but the rear brakes will still be braking harder than normal. Also remember that the brake bias valve is there so when the rear of the car is loaded, it adds breaking power to the rear to help stop you better. By lowering the car, the car thinks the rear is...

Basically what happens is that you lower your car, and because the car is sitting lower the rear brakes think there is more weight so the brakes are applied harder to the rear which can cause them to lock up...pretty much the same as if you applied the handbrake while travelling at speed...any...

Dont ktec offer mk1 172 bumper look alikes? Im sure I saw a pic somewhere on here

How does the BMC CDA compare to the Viper or Pipercross?

Just whizzed the stuff off ey?;)

When my bulb blew in my old clio I took it out, took it to Renault and said "Give me one of these" The guy went away and brought one back, but he was confused because the blown one had a blue tint and the new one was clear....the blue tint was because it blew

The lumpy idle is normal...as if the car idles fine then you feel like the whole car just moved.... The bulbs are H1 and not H11 CAnt help with sparkplugs either

try it

And also remember that the supposed 172bhp claimed by renault is measured in ps. Convert ps to bhp and 172 magically becomes 166...which is spot on.

One nice feature I did notice was that if you keep clicking the computer button after its in diagnostic mode, you can find out how much fuel is still in the tank, instead of the normal how much youve used

I have one of those too... http://home.imaginet.co.za/viceroy/hispeed.jpg

Crumbs....Id hate to think how "lovely and twitchy" the RS is since the 172 is also quite "lovely and twitchy"
