As I mentioned in my other post Im told that to fit an autoleads adapter (pioneer) to my mk2 it involves taking the to pof the dash off to get to the back of the display because thats where the lead plugs into?? I cant see it myself but has anyone else had to do this??

Right Ive got a pioneer head unit and an autoleads adapter. Ive removed the old cd player and I have a little yellow connector vlock that wont go into either the pioneer or my adapter? Also the autoleads instructions are useless and the diagrams (hand drawn) dont make sense. Has anyone done...

Really noticed this this weekend, I always drive with it off anyway as the geezer at the garage said it gives you better fuel economy. Anyway the last couple of days there have been a couple of times when Ive been driving reasonably hard and when cornering there seems to be a microsecond where...

Just wondered if anyone else had noticed a lack of power in the hot weather? Mine has been noticibly slower today, I was surpise how much difference a reletively slight increase in air temperature made......gonna have to get me an inductrion kit to make up for it I think ;)

Firstly a bit of clio crime. Sorry iof its anyones on here but I doubt it somehow!! http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1053980926__cliocrime1.jpg http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1053980951__cliocrime2.jpg Someone who came along with my mate in an s4...

Who do you rekon would win? Im accompanying my mate down to york on Monday who drives one and am wondering if I should bother trying to race him or not. Top speed is well over the 172 and the 0-60 time is a smidge lower at 6.6 seconds, maybe my willingness to thrash the nads off the car...

Might just be able to make it depending on work, who am I likely to bump into? :)

I posted this in the ICE forum a while ago but its taken me a while and about three different sign shops to get them done! heres some pics of them on my 172 http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1052767664__Picture_012.jpg...

I dont think Ill be fettling my baby for a while but was just interested to see what mods some 172 drivers have added and weather any have given a power increase thats noticeable when actually driving the car? Not saying that the 172 is slow but I would be interested in any mods that improve...

Auto Body Shop in Swillington have just finished building a 7.2 Supercharged V8 powered Ultima GTR!! I havent seen it yet but my mate has and apparently its a beast! I can believe it too. My Grandad lives in Swillington and hes seen it (I know it was the ultima he saw because he described a...

Just to let you know that as well as being a keen clio thrasher I also run a website called www.dj-sets.co.uk ">www.dj-sets.co.uk where you can buy dj sets in mp3 or audio CD format. The sets are from all the worlds top DJs and make a nice change to the commercially released compilations you...

Thought this would be a nice little topic to keep topped for a while, stick down details of cars you have had for breakfast recently :) This week I have been mostly eating a triumph Spitfire 2500 and a modded escort GTI (should have seen the look on his face!!) Dont drive the car much during...

Especially when your racing on the motorway - your webaddress lol. Just had a nice little tussle on the M621 in Leeds with this Triumph Spitfire 2500. Kept up with him but of course Im running in so managed to do so without taking the revs over 6000 The web address was plastered in 6 inch...

Am I right in thinking that when you first start the car that the ESP and traction control are on, and that when you press the ESP button and the little triangle warning light comes on to warn you that the ESP/TC is off? Ive read the handbook about 5 times but it doesnt make sense to me...

Ive been posting on here for a couple of weeks already (and joined the club) but Im chuffed to say Im now the proud and slightly soiled underpanted owner of a new black 172. First impressions are just the sheer speed. I drove a 1.4 Bravo before so theres obviously a slight diffence there! Im...

Ok Im sure there have been previous topics about this but are you limited to head unit choice on a 172? Do you have to make some alteration to keep the dash display correct? Sorry if this is an obvious question but Im a complete r****d when it comes to ice. :)

Im just about to get some clifford stickers made for my new 172, I got some clifford G4 stickers made up for my last car and they did the trick as it never got touched. They have the G4 logo and CLIFFORD written in white and transfer onto the inside of your window and measure about 10mm high and...

One dealer I spke to said that this was something that all new 172 have had for about 8 months. Is this true and how do you tell if you have it on the car or not when you get it? PS I havent picked mine up yet - 7 days to go :D

Firstly I apologise if Im teaching granny to suck eggs here but I thought Id share some info Ive gathered whilst sorting out inurance for the new 172. I got quoted £2000 from direct line to start with (Im 23 6 points and 1 accident) but if you ask to increase the voulantry excess it brings...

Just got back from our local motor dealer 12,500 lighter having bought a brand spankin new clio 172 in black. Dont pick it up till the end of the month but Ill be countin the hours down I can tell ya. Bit of a change from my current motor: http://www.floops.co 1.4 litres dragging round a...
