Think Ill have that seen to then on mine

Rock...believe it or not people in the UK do. My brother and his gf were over here for Xmas and we went away as a family and him and his gf climbed into the back of the 172 and put their seatbelts on.... then again...maybe it was indicative of my driving style?

Welcome to the 1.4 16V -> 172 club mate. Rhys...whats a few more quid when youre getting so much more fun:D

In my car, removing the spare wheel helped a lot and raising the side passanger head rests up a few notches helped some more ps. welcome

Youve got a 3 yr warrenty. ps. should have mentioned that the date was June 2001

when did you buy the car Rock? If it was before 13 (I think) June then the Warrenty is 1 year, if after this date the warrenty is 3 years. Thats an aweful lot of things to go wrong with the car thats only done 40 odd thou km. I probably would have gotten gatvol after 12 months (I know I...

both feed pipes should have pipes going down towards the bottom of the car

nope, no crunching on my mk1

Just pay a visit to Cliosport.nu Joel has a guid on how to swap the wiring...you mght just have to reverse it a bit because his guide to to get mk2 lights onto a mk1

Can feel the difference without my spare in the car...god is that thing heavy

Guess we gotta wait for Roamer then...damn its taking a long time As for me 1. Chuck out rear seats, spare wheel 2. I guess the orginal Mk1 OZ are pretty good along with the Michelins but my 16" with Toyo Proxes 205/45 are doing very nicely thanks 3. Bilstein would be awesome but Eibach...

I think Tom was onto something with his improving the 172 post. Id like to follow on from that a little. As far as tuning a 172 goes there are a few area for improvement 1. Remove Unwanted Weight 2. Better & Lighter Wheels And Tyres 3. Uprated Suspension 4. Modify Suspension Geometry...

Mate, you should come to SA. getting cought doing 81 and being caught would get you a whopping 9 quid fine, zero points off your licence, zero added onto your insurance, and chances are theyd lose the fine in the system and youd never have to pay. Hell, the average speed travelled on the...

Are you blind mate? did you fail to notice the little clio/c**k sport banner in his sig???? Id say he hates Cliosport

on kazaa there is a review of the mk2 compared to an cupra R its about 35mb if I remember correctly

Hopefully my ISP has sorted out their problems tonight...will try then

Id guess you could, or why not just fit the height adjustment to the passenger seat?

Renault in in this country dont seem to mind as far as suspension / exhaust mods go. I think its a case of which dealer you use. Always best to ask Do a search on 172 and decat on the forums. Youll find plenty of information as far as performance goes. I believe replacement filter, Chip and...

Welcome 206gt-aiii Glad to see you took smileysports advice and came to visit here from http://www.cartoday.comhttp://www.cartoday.com I tried to post to your reply last night but my internet connection was playing up. Anyway, as far as performance goes, the Clio 172 will slaughter the...

So far Ive been lucky. the mk1 is extremely rare over here, and they dont seem to jack Clios but knocking on wood madly that they dont pick me

As far as I know the 172 fender has more flared arches, and at the front where the wider bumper is accomodated. I would have thought the back part of the fender would still fit since the actual body isnt changed much. You might try giving Sportech a call...

Yep Im currently waiting for Roamer to finish his TB install, and to provide proces etc then Ill see how many banana leaves it will cost on this side of the world

Surely to fit a turbo (and possibly even a supercharger) the high compression 172 engine would have to be converted to a low compression, or are the internals able to withstand the pressure, temps, etc. Ive thought about putting a low pressure turbo on my 172, but Im unsure if it would give...

Yes this is a bad idea. Rather sell the 40mm and replace them with 60mm, either that or pile some bricks into the engine bay ;)

Jzus I hope you are joking!!!!

Dear Reno The cup you sold me is cracked and Id like a refund or a non cracked one Regards Cuppy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------;) Seriously though, when you write the letter, be factual and to the point. State each problem...

Rock, have you asked Renault? When I had a Clio 1.4 16V I was interested in the 172 spoiler for the car...they gave me a quote for the part unpainted and unfitted...Im sure theyll be able to provide the parts to you to get fitted...

That would explain why I had an ill fitting spare...the previous owner must have sold off all the original alloys when he put on the 16" and just put in a std Reno spare...what a nob!

Well I didnt buy the car from Renault, I bought it from Honda, and it came with non std 16" wheels. Does anyone know if the mk1 172s came with 5 alloys or 4 alloys and a steel spare.
