Buy my 172 04 for £9,500 hehe, u wouldnt regret it buying a import really. I looked into it when buying my Clio and realised that there is no difference and after reading this site today I have realised that you are eligible for 3 years warranty. Just as long as it has a alarm whats the real...
Well I have done it, I have the Alpine N099 unit, ran it from the speedo in the end, on the red speedo stalk on use the far right hand purple cable. Feed into that, for some reason I couldnt get the ISO purple cable to work with it, even after testing. So try that, works a treat. To be honest...
Yep it is, unfortunatly I have seen and reported worse when I was working behind the bar at my local hotel. One guy used to drink in excess of that and drive his lorry up and down the motorways. That didnt last too long, he was in his 60s too, its very scary how it still goes on with the amount...
lol!!
People and their image with their cars is a very funny thing. I guess we are all car snobs in a way just a real shame that people can be so childish
Yep totally, what brings it to home is the other week I was lucky enough to go out in my mates Twin Turbo Supra, my mates 380bhp MR2 turbo and both of them bring the realism that my car is really quite slow.
Yeah as for the porker, its a non turbo think its about 200/230bhp or something im...
I heard only later after he had gone that he drove. To be honest with his attitude I wasnt surprised. Kinda sumd him up really.
If I knew at the time he wouldnt have got his keys out of his pocket.
Hoping not to stir too much trouble, but what is it with people’s attitude towards the power of their cars these days. I have owned my 172 since march and im slowly growing up and realising that its not the quickest motor on the road and its never going to be. I still love it and would not part...
Yep used them a few times, only they never got back to me about my Alpine gear so spent £££s somewhere else as they must have thought I was dreaming .... Used Car electronics in the end. Very helpful.
Be careful as I looking into the "cheap" deals on Ebay and they are not all they seem. Most offer to send you one after you send payment to a bank account then send you a ticket number for either UPS or another courier. You then are given instructions to get in contact with the courier and...
No letters at all. It just lit all the lcd symbals, on the display and the dials moved around the face in stages. I am hoping that this is means that everything is fine. As its work just fine now.
Cheers
If its the same as im using one lead goes into the plug for the digital display mate, so its a dash off job, and you will find lots of room then to hide all the cables. It should be the same as what im using, I have the D300 screen but im sure all the cables are the same with just the same jack...
Done it, right. Following what roamer said but changing a little. Press the stalk trip button then place ignition to position 2. You will hear beaping and the dials moving round (looks kinda cool) all the lights will be on. Leave it a few seconds then press the reset button on the clocks. It...
At 12:30 i will be trying it on my lunch break lol, Might even ring Renault after and see if they have any suggestions (always good for a laugh my local dealer).
Yep, there are two one on the ISO which we tested and found to work, but then when put into practice didnt work, so then used the far purple wire from the clocks (information from Car electronics) which tested fine and used for the Alpine sat nav which on the setup screen is recieving the speed...
Im wondering if its since ive fitted sat nav and its started to use the speed sensor lol. Will try your suggestion roamer. Cheers guys, always the electrical stuff thats the pain in the arse.
Hi guys, Noticed yesterday that the MPG computer when flicking through is flashing with no details displayed the only information that is showing is the trip computer, cruise control speed and the milage but the details for mpg and approx mileage for fuel etc do not display instead flash with --...
Well gives me something to hope for. I have done nothing to the engine really to expect "Big" gains. Just the usual mods. So anything over what u guys are quoting is good. Also realised that they are good and bad places to take it, hense getting differing figures. So will take that into account...
The Clio is off to a rolling road next month that my mate has organised. What power figures should I expect from my 172mk2 with K-tec exhaust and Hill Power filter. Give me a sensible figure so if I get over that will be happy and if get under that I should be getting some work done lol. I am...
