www.carpeople.co.uk (based just off the M1 in Wakefield west yorks) are doing 53 pre reg 172 at £11,500 (plus DOT reg and Tax so on the road your looking at £11,800 which is the cheapest Ive ever seen them at. Thats got to be bargain of the century for a fully specd 172!

Car was into renno for the 33rd time last week so I had to put the standard filter back on. What with christmas looming I havent had chance to get it back on until today. Im not saying you get huge power gains ( I have a Piper X open IK) but the cars power delivery is just transformed. You...

Ive had mine 6 months now. Quite happy with it all though the silly little faults/rattles are starting to annoy me now (its in the dealer today for the third time in 6 months!) Not sure how long Ill keep it. About 3 months in I sort of wished Id gone for a type R or a coupe turbo but I think as...

A few things have cropped up about LAD an their "optimistic" power gains. I emailed them about their "200" conversion for the cup. Heres a few extracts from emails that got sent to and fro. If you cant be assed to read it all the basic point is that LAD will NOT tell you exactly what work is...

Just wondered if anyone has had one done and how much it was? I know someones had a cup with two pipes cut into the bumper. Thats the sort of thing Im wanting. Cant seem to find a website for powerflow either!

Just been out on whats been the coldest night of the year so far up here, very little grip and tried a bit of tasty driving without the comfort of ESP. Fook me is that my no claims bonus flying out the window lol. Seriously Im pretty worried about the lack of grip on the 172 in the cold/wet. Im...

Had the beast in to reno today for a problem that came on a couple of weeks back. The car isnt ticking over right, sounds like its struggling sometimes, theres also a a mean flat spot right at the bottom of the revs. They had it all day and when I went to collect it (get ready for the big...

Im sure someones mentioned this before but could find it , how do you reset the trip computer and everything on a mk2 172? Oh and while were at it how do you turn the auto lights on and off? Ta!

Got the beast booked in to reno for the first real fault weve had on her so far. Noticed a couple of days ago that tickover was really rough, making the shake a little now and agine. Went to fire her up this morning and she cut out. On the second attempt she kept running but the lumpyness was...

Im sure this will have been covered before but I couldnt find anything on a search. I think I remember reading that the tweeter covers twist off? Is this true? Also does anyone know where the crossovers are? ta!

Just read in the supermarket 172 post about a dealer saying that import cars are less reliable hehehe. When I picked my 172 up the handover muppet told us that hed had one as a company car earlier in the year and written it off (funny cos the staff car park was full of low spec mondeos etc) and...

Probably a long shot I know but I fancy having some cup alloys for my 172. any cup owners out there fancy a swap? Or maybe if your selling a set?

Anyone know where I can find a diagram that shows which connectors on an ISO block go to which wire? I need to know the wire locations for rear speakers (not colours of wires) Ta!

Had the spit and polish out this morning so I got the camera out and took some pics of the beast. Its only pretty standard so dont get too excited! This is the before pic before I started all the work. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1057417194__clio1.jpg...

Have you noticed how many CTRs there are on the road? At the weekend I went for a drive over to me grandads house (about 6 miles away) and saw 7 CTRs!! Theres been the odd time Ive been out and seen more than one 172 but now Ive noticed it I keep seeing CTRs all over the place. 172s are...

http://www.k-tecracing.com/products/clio1/engine/ramcharger_induction_kit_1.jpg Im emailing Ktec now to find out when they come out. Looks nicer than a K&N I rekon.

Just wondered if anyone from p norf was thinking of going and if you were camping on the saturday night? Ive emailed the organisers and they do have some limited camping space which needs to be pre booked (£10) IF there are gonna be a load of us going and camping we might be able to get a group...

I know the fronts are 5.5 inch/13CM but has anyone changed the ones where the back seats are? Ive got a single 12" sub in the back and am going to be getting some components for the front, Im thinking of just doing away with the rear speakers cos they just distort with the volume up. If I did...

Super quick Audi (would have raced him on the access road at the end of the strip lol) http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1056312750__audi.jpg Some clios with the bonnets on the wrong way round [:p] http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1056312772__bonnetsup.jpg...

Right today Ive finally got my amp wire in. I dont know if Mk1s are slightly different to Mk2 172s but the methods Ive read about how people have done it would not have worked on my mk2. How Ive done it is through the bonnet release grommet but not from inside the car. If you take off the...

in the showroom! I drive past harrats reno in leeds most days and for about the past 6 months Ive always kept an eye out for a 172 in the showroom. I think with all the fuss over the new Laguna and Megane theyve neglected the clio a bit but I went past yesterday and they had a cup in there...

Ive got me an amp and sub but I cant decide how to set it all up. Option 1 would be an off the shelf sub box mouted to the left of the boot with the amp screwed out of sight on one side of it so that it can easily be taken out of the car if I need to. Option 2 Im thinking of would be to...

"yes love I promise if we get a 172 I wont do anything to it, its lovely and Im sure I wont feel the need to modify it at all!" Well that was about 2 months ago and the Ice installs half done, Im saving for nitrous and toying with the idea of changing the wheels :) Bearing in mind my cars...

Right Ive located the grommet that the wires going to go through, just wondered how you actually get it through the grommet? Do you make another hole in it with a screwdriver or something? Oh And I am struggling to get my dash of. On the guide on the homepage it says there are srews inside...

Ive aquired a pretty good copy and the lads are coming round tonight to watch it. I missed the maxpwer that had the cars in but I guess they are all jap beasts (no clios lol ) Just wondered if there was a storyline to this one cos the first one was a bit pants really.

Just nipped over the moors to Alpha Car Audio in Bolton nr Manchester and picked up a Kenwood KAC629s 350 W Amp with a 12" kenwood sub and a Wiring pack for £136! If you get it main order its (for some strange reason) cheaper at £99 + £25 post and Wiring if needed. They have a weby...
