Me and my brother thought about this a lot. We even sourced all the mechanicals from a salvaged 172, this included the engine gearbox, all the electrics, the braking system, the suspension, and the exhaust. The guy was prepared to accept 1300. We then started looking for a 1.4rt. The plan...

It could be a saxo, kerb weight is about 937kg if I remember right.

From previous threads, by Ben R etc. I gather that it is best to buy a standard 16v grille from a breaker and trim away all the centre bits and then attach the mesh. Im assuming that you dont want to cut up the one youve got already. As far as the lower grille goes you can attach the mesh on top...

It all depends really, the sod has been annoying me lately. I thought of buying him a flash card for his Gameboy advance, so that he can download loads of games of the internet. But Im not sure of the details of how they work, what websites have the games etc. so Im a bit apprehensive...

Hi, That time of year is fast approaching again and I am having trouble thinking of gift ideas for my brother, any suggestions would be welcome and Im sure Im not the only person who still has shopping to do. Some ideas Ive already thought up: 1/ Obviously the cliosport key-ring, I also...

Thanks for the reply, Ive e-mailed Toad to ask if they have a suggested wiring diagram for the new clio. Apparently Renault have changed there central locking system, now only using a single wire for locking and unlocking. I cant see how this is a problem as I know many peolple who have the...

Hi, just want to know if anyone has experienced the same or similar problems with an aftermarket alarm. I bought an imported clio back in July and decided straight away to fit an alram. I choice a Toad AI606 as although it wasnt the cheapest Id read nothing but good things about it. From day...

Where from, the price has always put me off. How are you planning to route the cold air feed as Ive got a cunning plan?

I had a 306 DTurbo, many a Vectra SRI did I piss off in that. Brilliant looking across when you pass to see a confused look on a guy as he looks down and reads diesel. I agree, the 172 doesnt inpsire confidence. But it is an extemely capable car. The 106 is almost unique, only other car which...

My brother loves his mk1 172; I love my mk 2 172; Though wed probably both swop them for a super 1600 or a v6. A bit of common sense lads, people tend to by cars they like and therefore will defend their cars "honour" on forums like these and when out at night with the lads.

My brothers mk1 172 came with Michelin Pilots (Im not sure if they are the exaltos or not), he says they are supurb and when Im a passenger in his car they do appear to grip very well wet or dry. Like most mk2s mine came with Contisports, I hate them. The roads where I live are greasy at the...

The closed loop system does indeed restrict carefully the amount of fuel injected, by upping the fuel line pressure you will increase the the maximum injection rate (reducing overall injection duration) and you will also increase the quality of atomizaton of the injected fuel. The benefits of...

Me sense the Captain taketh the pish ! However, it would be cool to actually compile some from of database listing the modifications people have made to their cars and the actual tested power outputs. It could cut through all the advertising BS companies use with upgrades. On a completely...

As far as I understand the situation, Cosworth Green injectors are simply enlarged injectors used to increase the fuelling if your car is capable of running with a high boost pressure. Thus ensuring a good air/fuel ratio. With a normally aspirated car you would propable get more benefit...

Has anyone changed the upper front grille from the standard 16v type to the 172 type or vice versa? I want to mesh the front of my car, and as I dont want to cut up a perfectly good grille I would like to by one from a salvage yard. Therefore I need to know if the two styles of grill are...

Come on, some-one must know something about what Im talking about!!:confused:

Cutting a long story short, accident, split nearside front wing. Finally got round to taking my bumper off last evening to look at any other damage apart from wing. Happy to find only damage is bent nearside bumper hanger and slightly damaged mounting point on bumper. Light was fading so I...

The only reason ford have even produced this rallye concept is that their MD has pledged that they will be launching 10 new models every four years. As their design division is incapable of this (believe me I know some of the engineers who design for ford), they have gotten desparate and have...

Hi, There is a lot to be said about spending both recklessly and conservatively. Im still a student doing a automotive phD, but thanks to a generous stipend from a company for me to do research for them I am hardly skint. I go out weekly, but still live at home. The choice was simple, keep...

.The front skirt looks too much like an add on, would much rather see it follow or exentuate the oringinal lines of the car. Like the spoiler, however I think a racing spoiler such as that on the Super 1600 would suit it better. I definitely dislike the steel grill. Would much prefer a black...
