Could live with the exhausts but not the rear spoiler Im afraid!;)

Even with the clutch fully depressed?

The best way to drain the oil is to pull a driveshaft. Although if the oil is hot I have managed to syphon most of the oil through a 1/4" plastic tube (just tastes sh*te and takes a wee while). Can I ask you guys a question? Did you run in your cars as per Reno instructions or rag it from day...

@ The_Gza .... was it this one? http://www.fifegallery.co.uk/domains/cliosport/postmanpat.gif Sorry Paul & Neil ...... just couldnt resist :p Paul hope you enjoy your new mota mate! ;) Cheers FS

I wouldnt mind if mine leaked, as long as it stopped creaking! lol!

Takes about a couple of hours for both! http://www.fifegallery.co.uk/domains/cliosport/airbox.jpg http://www.fifegallery.co.uk/domains/cliosport/rear_brace.jpg

So, whos calling me a big girl then .......? http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/blackeye/small3dblackeye.gif ............GGGRRRRrrrrrrrrrr!http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/blackeye/small3dblackeye.gif

Yep .... those sticky ...... toffee type stains! Anyway if the alchohol based cleaner doesnt work you can always drink it! :p

If youve had modified cams fitted Im suprised that Reno would entertain you under warranty anyway, or have you told them (unlikely they would notice!)? Modified cams normally mean higher and quicker valve lift which takes much more effort to reciprocate. This creates more dynamic stresses on...

yyyuuuuuukkkk! that sounds gross licking someone elses after gum :sick:

An upholstery steam cleaner softens it and you can wipe/peal it off . I used one of these Vaporetta thingys on my wifes old clio seats. 200K miles and they came up like new!

Thats why they called it "iceberg" ..... cos its cool! :cool:

Dont worry mate, I have two Clios one bought at my current dealership and one from another. I have had warranty done on both cars at my current dealer and never had to prove anything regards delivery date / paper work. Your car should be listed in the Reno UK database (reg / VIN) which all...

I have certainly not had ANY complaints about Glenvarigills in Dunfermline. They have tried their very best to sort out the "Friday" car I bought from them March last. They are a professional organisation. Neil, I reckon the problem Paul had with his car is a fairly rare situation. My car is...

Cheers Rorrie will contact Sainburys for a quote ;)

Just dont declare any mods ..... they will shaft you. Exhaust, filter, springs, s/braces on a 2002 172, max no-claims, protected at 43 :oops: .... £63 p/month! Will def be looking elsewhere after Feb 2004.

K&N 57i custom jobbie .... http://www.fifegallery.co.uk/domains/cliosport/airbox.jpg

It will only stop quicker (max braking) in good dry conditions with good tyres. In the wet (max braking), even with decent tyres, you will quicky exceed the limits of adhesion, so will be limited by the ABS kicking in. The main differences with this kit over standard will be the improved...

Then youll have to follow R3OBCs idea of rubbing them down first. Ideally, they need to be sanded anyway to provide a good key for the plastic primer.

Why would it be hard to paint the raised letters mate? If you look at the Cup/172 they are all sprayed in a chrome effect paint. ;)

James, whats the latest on these quick shifters mate? Cheers Neil

If its tar spots, ome petrol on a rag does the trick too

Are the keys for all the MK2 172 centre caps the same or unique to the car/model? Never thought about it till now:confused:

Hannah , Looks really nice and different from the usual twin pipes. BTW, is the tailpipe not sitting a tad too high though? There should be some clearance between the rear valance and the tailpipe. I have the Magnex twin and even after a short run you cant touch the tail pipes as their too hot...

Rhys, sounds like it is either a synchro or linkage problem, probably the former unfortunately if it is only in one gear. My MK2 always has a "rag" in 2nd when it is cold. When hot it seams to be fine. On a cold change, have to change up slowly and put clutch fully to floor. Getting easier as...

siroldvolks, thats a sad picture mate (hope you got it all fixed), but shows the air duct setup brilliantly. There was no need to trash your motor especially for this forum thread though LOL;)

Neil82cup, I think the supersprint "race" system will be mega loud as there is no CAT and only one straight through silencer ..... and you think the K-Tek is loud? LOL Also there is nowhere I can see to screw in the lambda sensors on the CAT replacement pipe. Can see a union for one lambda on...

George16V, other people will probably cringe when I show these piccies yet again ..... but just for you!;) BTW, the one page website is a picture of the car when it was about 4 weeks old ... just to remind me what it looked like before mods (only mods then was blue painted calipers!)...

Magnex 2x3.5" CAT back. But its not complete. I dont have the Magnex sticker on my window like telford_mike ...... sulk :(. http://www.fifegallery.co.uk/domains/cliosport/exhaust_magnex01.jpg http://www.fifegallery.co.uk/domains/cliosport/exhaust_magnex02.jpg...
