The brakes on my 172 were't as I expected them to be, I changed the fluid and it has helped a lot. Going to dismantle everything soon though and clean the lot up to see if I can make them any better.
Mine didn't fade as such, it was more like they lacked the final bite required to really stop...
I get a few digs for owning an 'old man' car (a Proton) and the Clio has been referred to as a 'hairdressers car', but it's all in good fun.
My m8s don't really say anything about going to car meets, but some of the lads at work ask if I am going to see my 'car friends' (from the inbetweeners...
Really like my 172 and I have only had it for a couple of months, but my lass has been going on at me about getting her a Sport.
Found a 172 cup for sale local to me and went to look at it today. It has decent mileage, will have full M.O.T., is taxed until end of Feb and is pretty much...
Forgot to say, sorry to hear about the car, hope you get it sorted.
I haven't figured out how to embed the youtube vids yet, otherwise I would have made it easier to view.

My lass works most nights, and only gets her shifts a week in advance (they just give her shifts, she doesn't get a choice), so will have to confirm the week before.
I'll just get one of those electric ones of ebay then, loads less money and a lot more hp. I can't go wrong, i'll be taking on Skylines and those mega fast 1.2 corsa's in no time. :D
Excellent,
Even if I don't sell the proton (I am attached to that thing and I may finally have a LSD), I would still like to see the graph, I like looking at RR graphs.
Love the supercharger sound.
A very impressive car. really like it.
You got a RR graph? Just want to see where the power is etc. I have had quite a few people wanting to buy my Proton and the money from that would go towards supercharging my Clio.
They suit lower cars better (IMO) so they are good on the proton and yes, they are pro race 3's. They seem quite light compared to the Momo's on the proton and the standard 172 wheels so hopefully this will help me get my proton close to 1 tonne.
White wheels are coming off tomorrow, putting the original ones back on. Don't like these wheels on the Clio as it is.
Been looking at photo's on the site and the splitters make a nice addition to these cars so will be on the hunt for one.
Prob just send it back if it only takes a week. I think the 3 red rings warranty was extended to three years, so should be ok, unless it is a relatively easy fix then might be able to sort it sooner.
