Which rarely increase performance by much and are surrounded by marketing BS

yep Pulled a car length before I got to 60 then my CAF fell off, I got heat soak and got pissed all over

IIRC it's a 5 hour job £80...that's very cheap per hour rates

If it was that good in the Mk1 why didn't Renault leave it in the Mk2 or redesign it in a similar way. Makes b**ger all difference

Sure they did a mk1 in yellow Looked s**t though

Iceberg most 'classy' of the 172 colours

Good call Standard ones

K-tec Stealth gets my vote, good exhaust

Christ, that's not much for a car of that age Was thinking of selling my 172 but realise now that it's not worth it, was offered £3800 trade in at a garage and it's mint with only 25k on the clock!

Nope as most are chavved up ones with silvervisions fitted

Cambelt change & service

Quite miss my old Renault 19 16v, okay, not that quick but sounded great and felt classy in black with full leather interior

Same old s**t but TBH there's enough racing bulls**t on here as well with people owning Subarus and the like in 1.6 clios.

Total bulls**t Even a guy on that forum points out the irresponsible nature of road racing and the other fact that the Clio would have owned the Sxi

Good call, good service and stock a nice range of parts etc Also helps that it's doen the road from me at Castle Coombe:D

That doesn't surprise me at all Once people start converting to LPG to try to get round the silly price of petrol/diesel that'll get taxed to f**k too:(

We all knew 197s were slow, this proves it

PMSL @ this thread

Yep, what I say every time someone asks the question about strut braces. Someone will probably mention cup racers but those are dedicated track cars with a different suspension setup

Knock it down by around what it'll cost to do.....approx. £500 should do it

Had my 2002 172 for three years and it's be great reliablity wise:D

lol:D

+1 Pretty much sums it up When I see cars rolling through town with da bass going and all the panels nearly rattling off I always think what a 'tw*t'....I'm sure most other people think the same. Not chav, just sad as f**k You can recreate a Phil Collins drum solo by playing it on a kit!

lol

+1 They do look good on Iceberg cars although mine does have a few stonechips now:(

Welcome to CS:D

Wrong Heatsoak far more of an issue on Charged engine like evo and Subaru, especially when it comes to intercoolers getting warm High temps often = det in charged engines which can result in holed pistons and fooked bottom end. Bit more serious than power loss

Seen plenty of BIG power cars running open/cone filters (Norris SWB evo for instance @ 800bhp) so obviously not a problem if you have them in the right place.

Really...I never knew that!

lol Green engine cover looks gash as well
