If you can afford to keep it then you have to keep it mate ! Imagine driving an Astra ALL THE TIME !?!!?!?!?? :sick:

If it comes down to looks it has to be the 172, if the performance is that close I would go for the 172 everytime. I dont see anything special about how the Ibiza looks IMHO.

They are the ones mate ! LOL ! You will have them by Friday and then you can get them on the car on the weekend AT LAST ! You have waited far too long for those springs mate !

_KDF, Demon Tweeks will have them to you by the next day guaranteed mate, as you know I had to order 2 sets and both were delivered next day, we get up to 10 Cliosport discount too, give them a ring. Also, I am sure the APEX springs lower it more than the Eibachs IIRC ? Dai

Just phoned Demon Tweeks, got a price of £925 for a set of 17s with Falken tyres, seems steep to me and that was with the Cliosport discount. Seen them for £869 http://affilate.potn.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_20/products_id/1009014here + delivery.

I am looking for websites to get some alloys at a good price, I am after some OZ Superleggeras or Superturismo GTs in 17s with rubber. If we get a CS discount then great ! So far I have looked on http://www.demon-tweeks.comwww.demon-tweeks.comhttp://www.demontweeks.com and...

G, the Curborough trackday is Thursday, 8th April. There are 10 of us going on that day with several others coming to watch.

Good man Fred ! I would appreciate that ! I bet your car has changed beyond recognition from the last time I saw it at Brands Hatch 2002 !

Does the quickshift make a big difference ? How does it feel for normal day to day driving ?

Thanks bambam ! How much are these going to cost ? How much £££ are you looking at for chip and ITG fitted ?

I have just been on the ITG website and they do not list a filter for the Clio ? http://www.itgairfilters.com/app_getData_mx.asphttp://www.itgairfilters.com/app_getData_mx.asp

How much are you looking at for these 2 mods together and fitted ? 185 bhp from the 2 mods is awesome ! livio 172, you got any pics of the engine bay ?

I will write them a list of things to check when it goes in. Engine mounts will be one of them even tho I do not suffer any knocking under acceleration. I will be waiting while they do the service so I will make sure they tell me what costs are involved before carrying out any work !

I hated the back end of the current Clio when I first saw it but it grew on me but that was because there were other parts of the car that I liked. I am struggling to find anything on that car in the pic that I actually like ! If they build the Fiesta RS and it turns out to be good, then maybe...

I have to agree, it is getting really tiring.

I see ! Thanks Mike ! I am just trying to think of things that I want them to check on the car. If the engine mounts are deemed to be faulty as many people have had with their 172s, surely that would be covered for FREE under the warranty ?

Can anyone please help me with this ? Someone must have had warranty work done in the 3rd year of their 3 year warranty, did you have to contribute to the costs at all ? Cheers for ANY help with this, Dai

My 172 is going in to Renault to have its 12000 mile, 2 years service on the 22nd March. I have asked them to look at the 4k rattle as it has started to annoy me now, especially on the motorway so I will see what they say it will cost. If they charge me then I will be on to Renault too as it...

I wish I had filmed it now, ah well. Whatever DIY stuff is done next I will film it. _KDF, that has been ages now ! You want the number to Demon Tweeks ? LOL ! ;) I went for a blast in the car last night around some good roads with a few roundabouts scattered in between, the car just...

I thought I may have been caught twice in two weeks but it was only once. Thinking the worst I got a quote online with 6 points entered and it upped the quote from £650 to just under £900 IIRC, so you are looking at around £250+ I would say mate. That is really bad luck to get caught in such...

Cheers Lee, we measured it as you just said yeah. Yours is standard yeah ? That would explain the difference is height, only 10mm or so which is what I was expecting.

Me too mate ! LOL ! I had a fair bit to drink on Saturday night so that is my excuse for the clear repeater fiasco ! LOL ! Cheers for moving the topic for me Lee, appreciate it. I did have one quick question to anyone reading this with a standard MKII 172, could you measure the distance...

Just measured the ride height and it is now sitting at 12cm at the front and 11cm at the back so the front has dropped 10mm since the springs were fitted which is about right ! I like ! PS Can a mod please move this to the Exterior, Power and Mechanical board please ? I think it would be...

_KDF, your car is the same age as mine. I was really worried about doing the springs as Chavy will tell you but once we started it was such an easy job, really. Chavy had managed to fit one spring on the front and I will still fooking about with the clear indicators ! LOL ! :oops: We...

I know mate, after seeing a MKI 172 and a few Valvers with OZ Super Ls I am very tempted by them ! Going to see if someone can photoshop them onto my car for me !

They just see the £££££ and will feed you any kind of sh1te to get you to pay ! They must have heard of that, it happens on nearly every 172 !

Pugboy, there is NO WAY you should be paying for that, Renault UK surely know about this problem ! They are getting the KY Jelly out ready for you mate ! OUCH !

Anyone got an answer for this query ? How does the warranty work in the 3rd year ? The same as the first 2 years ? Cheers.....

Dunno if these have been posted before ? Is this the burnt orange colour ? http://image.motorsport.it/foto/02/big/img00845-05.jpg http://image.motorsport.it/foto/02/big/img00845-04.jpg http://image.motorsport.it/foto/02/big/img00845-07.jpg...

From start to finish it was about 2 hours I would say which is not too bad I think. I think the tracking needs to be sorted so I will get that done but apart from that I am VERY happy, looking forward to taking it around Curborough in a months time to see how it handles the track.
