Seems to be alot of different opinions out there about how good the new V6 is. So for the money what cars could you get instead around simular price bracket. Clio V6 Mazda RX8 Subaru Impreza Evo Focus RS Now imagine I am Santa Claus and was going to buy you all a new shiny car for...

Get wolfrace racer6. Had these on my old punto. They look sweet as. Would really suit the clio. Get these with a set of falken tyres on them and i promise you will be well happy.

There is minimal difference between the cars, so little infact that it is too hard to state what is faster. They are supposed to produce the same power but have different weights, but as we all know renaults engines come out of the factory producing all different powers. It depends on the driver...

It is very good stuff. It cleans well cos you can see all the carbon deposits coming out the exhaust as it comes out. Think they say to use 2 cans on a car with 100K and 2 cans for cars with 50k. Or use it 1 can every 10K. OR something like that. It made my old car run smoother.

SORRY but the Toad is better by far. I had a Toad on my old punto but for some stupid reason i chose a clifford for the 172. The clifford has a good long range but also has the tendancey to be unlocked by mistake, You walk some distance away and it unlocks from your pocket. The clifford alarm...

The reason it would catch on one side on not the other could be a slightly bent lower arm on the front left handside suspension. This is quite common front cars that have been curbed badly or bad hot holes. Or the other reason is there is something on one side of you 16v that is not on the other...

I think renualt done quite well. I was expecting renault to not even be on the list. Renault could have given a free pen to suck up to top gear, imagine what would have happened then, the pen wouldnt work and top gear wouldnt be able to write renault at the end of the list. Or top gear may have...

Buy a 182 with its twin exhaust. Strip the rear interior and make a huge engine cover to put in back. Then get a few inch wide spacers for wheels. No one will be the wiser. Get a lad conversion but dont tell them its a 182. They will do a v6 lad conversion(on your 2.0) which makes it 300bhp

Help me or you will be forcing me to turn my stereo up again. Laa Laa Laa i cant hear you knocking noises

Been very lucky with my mk2 172 so far, just hit 7.5K and no problems other than a sh*tty passenger seat rail. UNTILL I turned the stereo and was driving about and i noticed a sound front front arches like big wheels rubbing on the plastic inner arch. The car has standard wheels and...

Yeah thats just like a body kit though. You do pay extra for boykit, bigger wheels, exhaust etc but i am sure it would cost more to insure a plain escort with a cossie engine in it, than a escort with a cossie kit. Maybe we should test. I will buy a plain escort, you buy a cossie. We will swop...

I had a punto with direct line from age of 17, i put it on 17s, full sus, exhaust, induction, 2K stereo and they were fine with it. 2 years later they said the employee who said i could have these mods made a mistake and i was uninsured for the past couple of years even though i was paying them...

If you change your standard headunit the 6 disk autochanger will become unusable.

Sorry I know this is the wrong forum for meets. There is a meet down at southend for the 4th. I am trying to get people from Slough, Maidenhead, Reading, Bracknell or anywhere else in the local area to meet up and travel down to southend together. We would meet at the beaconsfield roundabout...

im 20 and i nicked mine

I can see that Ripspeed are saying it is the manufacturers fault due to them being unhelpful and wasting halfords time. But that is no excuse. It is not the consumers problem at the end of the day. Halfords should not be making excuses and passing the blame. I can see the problem for halfords...

Try swopping tyres around. If back tyres are better than front swop them around. Also check for uneven wear in tyres. I have the same thing in my car. New tyres make it less noticable. It isnt violent though, its just because its front wheel drive with a big engine weight over the wheels. Maybe...

Like the bumper not sure if it suits the car though. Think it would look better with twin headlights, tints and grey wheels.

On the small aerial thing look at the one on the honda s2000, i think thats what you are after

Is the R sport ecu for the 172 as well as the cup.

Kenwood dvd. Most probally gonna get another screen, but not sure what yet or where its going. The ma audio subs are shaped as 6*9s and have a really good rating. They leave more room in the boot for more subs, but as i said i am not sure yet. Will setup the things i have just bought, see how...

Thought it was about time i changed the stereo in the 172. Got to wait till tuesday for my clifford alarm (with dual proximatey sensors) to be fitted before stereo gets fitted. Just bought a dvd player to feed the genesis 5 channel amp. The lovely amp will be joined to Polk and soundstream...

If you drop a clio 172 key the remote button will stop working normally. This is because the battery in the remote moves to the side slightly and misses the contacts. Just take the battery out and carefully replace the battery back into its location.

what about a soundstream P203. 50*2 100*1 3 channel. whats this worth. are they any good

what about a kicker I404. Its 4 channel and 4*75 i think

Hi just starting my system. Just brought a kenwood dvd player, still need to get a cd autochanger if anyone has got one for sale. I have got top of range polk front components and very decent soundstream rear speakers. Sorry havent got model numbers on me at moment. I need to get an amp for this...

Another slough clio. Havent actually seen a cup in slough yet, only 172s. Only normally see civics and bmws in slough. Good to know there are some more clios around

Hi i have a clio and need to get an alarm. I need one fitted. What alarm should i get and what price should i pay for the alarm+fitted. Dont want to spend too much but it has got to be good alarm.

Am I right in thinking that the 172 has 13cm speakers front and back. Will polk 13cm speakers go straight into the front or are the magnets too big and will hit window. Just that i have been offered these speakers at a very good price for the top of range components. What would the best way to...

I have a 172 03reg and want to change the headunit because i need to run my amps. I have the alpine autochanger and was wondering has anyone found out how to use the autochanger with an upgraded alpine headunit. Is there a converter so that the 6 disc autochanger can be used.
