People that know Squirt - how much would you put him up for?? He has done 21k & is immaculate..just to get ideas....
People that dont know him check the photos in the album under MK2 172
Just for fun...
Cheers
Has anyone with a 172 MK2 had a clutch cable dry up & start grinding? Done a search on here but cant find any threads of any relevance. When I took mine in to my garage they said first one they ever had. It is covered 100% by warranty so thats cool but just wondered.

Congrats to all the winners & Fred I gotta say your car looked well kewl - I was impressed & that takes a lot !!
Need to update squirt a bit me thinks for next year....
When I worked at Land Rover it was whichever came first.....how queer !! Just booked mine but on 23k so cool & he has got problems starting from cold so will be in for 2 days..
Jesus - work is gonna love me - didnt think of that!! ha ha
It is a lot louder than I thought - not that I am complaining as I love it..
Gotta go now as off to Thorpe Park & cant wait...
rumble rumble down the motorway....
When I am down or fed up I spend money so this week I have mostly been buying a Magnex system for Squirt & my god does it sound & look the absolute nuts.....:cool:
Well - it takes my mind off other stuff.....
My Clio is called Squirt (hence name)
My 6 minis were called:
PK
Black
Thumper
Ben
Red
Molly
My pug - Spook
My MGB GT - Mogwai
My Fiesta - Ratty
My Beetle - Bluey
Cannot decide what exhaust to get for my MK2 172.
I want noise but not tinny sounding
I want a single oval
I want a power increase or to stay same at least !
I have about £300 to spend
Not fussed if rear box only or cat-back system
Down to following I think....
Devil - but people...
Think some people get my humour all wrong - I am only joking too - sorry peeps....:cry:
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but definately the funniest....
Erm actually Dogmaul - I worked at Ripspeed in Edmonton & Brimsdown from 89 - 93 when it was owned by Keith so nothing to do with Halfords !!!
Worked at Halfords too - Mini shop & Land Rover.....so got a fair idea about cars.....
xx
Viv - got Anteras on now - see my car in the gallery - jaines 172.
Rob - yeah cheers for that info - working at Ripspeed & being in the car trade for 7 years I did not know that...silly girl I am..
I think exhaust manufacturers spend more than a couple of days designing thier exhausts as do...
Yeah - dont buy it Adtmits - that one is mine!!:D Apparently they are upgrading them as they are looking for a new importer as Automotif only do the motorbike ones now. So that one at Demon Tweeks is the old style so I will wait a month or so see what they come up with.
The devil does have a sound - very rumbly though - not that horrible wasp-in-a-can sound. I found it was cracking on the pug & when I spoke to my mate at Demon Tweeks he has fitted a few & said they sound cool.
No I am getting a Devil - had one on the pug & they are one of the few that give you 3-4bhp increase with just the back box. Was looking at Sebring but they are so quiet & a lot dearer. I am a total devil fan for french cars & they make bloody good motorbike ones too.
Paddy - quote for what?? Sorry but I am a girl so a bit dippy !!
There was a BSA Bantam on e-bay that was mint & only went for £550 I so wanted it but gotta sort the Clio out first.
Start with my exhaust - but none of that powerflow stuff - as much as people on here rate them you must remember it is a universal fit so you get no increase in bhp in fact most of them can cause a loss...Then some work to the rear end & go from there.
Paddy - decided deffo gonna get another...
My local Renault dealer (darlingtons) in Harlow have just sold my wheels for me - some people on here laughed at my asking price of £400 ono but they just sold em for £450 - lovely jubbly - more mods for Squirt now then !! :D
I went to the dreaded Xtreme in Harlow as they are powerflow dealers but the guy was so feckin rude & looked at me like I had just driven a Lada onto his forecourt that I decided to go elsewhere. I asked him stuff about the different tailpipes, sounds etc & he was so un- interested it was...
I also sent them an e mail about the new exhausts for the Clio 172 - got a very short sharp reply back without even a price or labour etc...
Hmmm...not good first impression.
Oh wow - I will have to book time off as on nights that week.
Sorry Tom but already got a guest.....;)
Think I had beter go & talk to Paul Bailey seeing as he is a track day champion...I aint got a clue !!!
