    probably been answered before - lowering springs on 172

    it really depends how you lower it, chopping the springs in half......would destroy the handling! lol

    Visually modifying my 1.2 mk2 ph2... pointless?

    well you need to deciede if you want to keep the car for a while!! if you intend to, then by all means start making some changes, nice wheels, coilovers, some OEM+ body parts. remember as long as you dont butcher anything, you can sell the mods on later when you need to drum up finance for...

    buy a clio mk2 and want mod ideas ?

    im guessing at that budget youre going for a non-sport!? bonnet bra's look gash tints look very chavy as do HID and theyre not MOT legal anymore unless you install aftermarket washer jets! 40mm springs you wont notice at all, they dont even look lowered, 60mm isnt as bad as people make out, i...

    i want this fiesta!

    to some people, they prefer the joy of building them!! if its a hobby to the guy maybe that was his plan the whole time. like myself ive spent lots building my track car. Once its finished, i probs wont enjoy driving it as much as ive enjoyed building it! OR, 2500 miles = 961 laps of brands...

    Exhaust just snapped in 2, so......

    is it where it comes out of the final centre box?! thats where mine snapped off! get either a genuine centre section, pattern centre section or aftermarket exhaust. unlikely anywhere will be able to weld it up if its that corroded!

    is it worth stripping out ur car?

    lol at "has anyone on here stripped their car" but yes, it makes a difference if you do it properly!! ie remove all the tar, sound proofing, seatbelts ive even gone as far to removing PAS and AC, and was sizing up ABS for removal! it all counts! speed is all down to BHP/ton ;)

    Engine mounts...

    both mine and my mates cars have the vibratechnics ones, i dont find them at all "too harsh for road" i spose its how comfortable you want your car to be! id personally go for the good ones if youre going to track your car 12 times a year, otherwise youll just put more stress on your gear...

    Gearbox leak

    is it coming from the gear selector mech?! if so then ive very very common! as above the way to fix it properly is take the box apart and replace the seals other option is to get some stuff i think from halfords for £10 that acts as a sealing additive

    Ph1172 rev counter not working

    could be worth taking the clocks apart, taking the needle of and putting it at zero with a dab of glue, as someone else said, it could be that the needle isnt connectyed to the spindle properly and is just sitting where it falls!

    ph1 shift light

    i have a y-reg with a shift light! my mates old x-reg didnt! i dont think its reg specific, i think it was an addition extra when first ordered! im not sure what its part of, does your current clock actually have the light that just never illuminates?!

    PHASE 1 - PHASE 2 front end swap

    since nobody has done it, you wont be able to get a 100% definite answer (unless someone has lol) im also pretty confident it should work, the only thing i can see being an issue is the headlights as mounting points may have changed!! find a pic of a ph2 with the front bodywork removed and...

    No Claims question

    3 year gap you also only needed to insure something for a single year in the middle!! ie, no insurance for one year, insure something (anything) for a year, then no insurance for the next!! if you have a gf or someone you share a car with, just alternate who the main driver on the policy is...

    Is this legal?

    because they do look so much better than the standard plate hanging over the front grill!! i had mine on for a year, never got pulled over for it, but did have it mentioned a few times. no fines. my mate got a fine for his plate thought

    central locking seems ok, button on key doesn't work to lock the car

    Im not sure if its the same on the ph2s, but on the ph1s the sensor is a small black box clipped to the divers side of the heater matrix, it has a 4 small wires going to it. might be worth trying a different one.

    airbag question.

    im pretty sure they all use a generic plug, and all use the same airbag ECU so i see no reason why it wouldnt! does the airbag youre currently using no fit the sport steering wheel?

    Will a PH1 172 steering wheel boss fit a PH2 182?

    the splines are the same, and so is the squib. it will fit but i do believe it fouls the plastics behind the wheel, you may have to cut some of it away!

    Clio 182, Leaking!

    someone was telling me just the other day that the water pumps rarely fail on these!! nothing overly hard about changing these, but the pump is slightly burried in the ancillaries, but for a specialist it shouldnt take too much time at all!
