If this is possible, what resistors do you need for the airbag light to stay off once the standard seats and steering wheel have been removed? I know I could take the bulb out, but thta will leave the service light on won't it?
What parts do I need to relocate the battery to the boot other than these:
battery box
+ and - cable - what size/capacity?
terminals
protective tubing for bulkheads
Just got a Momo wheel ready to go on, with the correct boss kit. I was under the impression that Momo supplied a resister to fool the airbag circuit. However it appears that it actual defeats the whole airbag system including the passenger and any side airbags. Should I remove the pass. airgag...
I have air/fuel mix and oil pressure dials waiting to mount in my car. The wires are confusing though.
air fuel mix has 3: to 5amp fuse on ignition/ battery / oxygen sensor
but in the instructions it shows that there may be an optional 4th wire to connect to the 12v supply
oil...
I need to find the model of clio that has the same shaped side of dash air vents as a 172 ph1, but in black. Would be much appreciated if someone could put up a pic of the vent as i'm working away from home at the moment.
Cheers
Am I right in thinking a bonnet vent should face forward if it's acting as a cold air intake for the Ik and face the rear if it is for removing hot air from under the bonnet?
Thinking off mounting my battery in the boot, allowing more space for the IK. I was chatting to my local ICE delaer and he said that it's illegal/MOT failure to do so unless you a)provide a vent to allow any acidic fumes to escape OR b)use a dry cell battery (Optima).
Is this correct?

Would someone be able to give a short guide or two on how to do the common photoshop jobs that people ask for on here ie colourcoding, new wheels, lowering?
I have PS but clueless on how to use it. Manual just gets confusing.:S
Possibly looking for replacement seats for my 172. Want something like second hand (will retrim) recaros from an Escort or similar. How easy is it to adapt subframes for seats not designed for the clio? Seen a clio with RS seats in PGTi mag, looks rather mint.
Had some new wheels in my 'stocking' today. 16" OZ Super Turismo with 195/45/16 Goodyear GSD3s. Apologese for the dirty car; I should know better. Will paint the calipers shortly then start on the interior (Booked for mid Jan). Hopefully get the engine done (manifold/cam/ECU/remap) end of...
Spoke to Charlie at Prospeed about one and he recommended trying to find an off the shelf model as it's a long job for a custom job. So, anyone know where I might get one?
Just done a search on wheel offsets and came up with a range of 37 - 48.5mm. I have a phase 1 172 and want to go from the standard 15" with 195/50/15 to 16" OZ Super Ts with 195/45/16. What is the definitive offset for the 16"rims if the car is lowered 50mm all round.
Thanks in advance.
While searching a related topic I read that Andy at GDI recommends not connecting your CAF up to the filter (gaining <5bhp), but to leave it open and feed the area around the filter. So rather than the have the air forced in to the filter, the induction kit actual sucks in the air. I would...
If all goes to plan I'll have space in my car for two additional dials ie oil temp, fuel/air mix. What is worth fitting in a non-turbo car (172) and which are the easiest sensors to install.
Cheers in advance
PS I hope to get the car tuned (cam/manifold/remap) at GDi/Angelworks soon if that's...
The 'Sh*t shield', as I know it, is the piece of plastic that extends from the front wall of the front wheel arch along the underside of the body, towards the corner of the bumper, to which it attaches to. Mine's all split and I need a replacement. Anyone know it's correct name?

For those that wanted to see some clearer pics. Delocking was £180 for those that asked.
Well I like it.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
nice and smooth

Just got my 172 back from the bodyshop. Thought you'd like to see what they've done. I await the backlash from the purists. I'm happy, and that's what counts.

There are a number of deals around at the moment on wheels and tyres, but which are the better tyres. I appreciate that none of these are probably top notch rubber:
yokohama parada
yokohama A539
Toyo Proxes T1R
Kumho (ha ha) SPT KU31
Falken ZE-512
Falken FK 451
Hancook ???
