Just had a new one so I can play the lastest games at work :o. So getting rid of the old one as i've no need for it now.
Don't usually bother with cleaned threads but as I haven't posted many pics of it in its current state and I thought it looked rather good in the sun i'm posting some.
No not that kind thank god, Maxogen fitted ;). Got this of Zippy172 and chuck it on this morning, nice noise and the torque comes in waaaaay earlier than 5k now. Has smoothed the kick out though :(, oh well i'll live.
Tight fit!

I've now discovered what is causing the idle revs to wander. If you jack the car up so a wheel is off the ground, start the engine the car will idle normally. Spin...

Leading on from that the problem has developed and tbh i'm now absolutely stumped, have tried everything I can think of.
Basically the problem will present itself when the engine is cold and when just driving around town/normal driving...
Do the rear discs on the clio self adjust as per handbrake operation and the wear of the pads/disc/cable?
My handbrake won't hold on the car on a steep (1:4) hill unless its ratched up really high probably talking 10 clicks or so. Was just going to adjust the cable but i'm wondering if the...
Do all temp senders output a standard resistance?
Wanting to put an oil temp gauge in my 172 and a valver level/temp sender should replace the standard level sender (physically) just wondering how (or if) it'll work with an aftermarket gauge?
Got the chance to buy a Ph1 172 airbox off superfastdan for a bit of DIY maxogen action, only trouble is its missing two of the clips that hold the two parts of the airbox together.
Is this going to be a major problem? Obviously don't want to be getting unfiltered air sucked into the engine.
These will probably be a bit marmite but what do people think to these?
They're 15" Oz Superturismos powdercoated gloss black, used to have them on my old black dynamique but thought i'd try them on the 172 now its on prolines. Handling is definetly improved over the stock 16s and the...

Getting some of those to go on these:
But what colour to got for? The wheels are gloss black, i'm thinking either red, yellow or white? But i'm not sure which, what do people think?
Have had a wierd problem develop yesterday evening, basically when cold you can rev the car and it'll hold idle at 1500-2000rpm then slowly decrease (sometimes not) and when its warm its not as bad but the car doesn't loose revs like it did before much more slowly and sometimes holds.

Was coming out of the whitestone tesco express car park as I went in. Had anthracite 172 wheels, chequered flag vinyls and a new style RS badge I think. Was being driven by a rather attractive lady, had a private plate too can't remeber it.
I'm sure i've seen it on here before.

The magnex site doesn't seem to say that it'll only fit the Ph1? Although I thought they were different.
Magnex just say Jan 2000-2003????
Got in the car to go to work this morning, turned the CC on and it was on the two lowest bars as it was on auto and i'd just started the car. The screen was misted so I turned the fan up, when I got to 6 bars the fans went dead.
Now I assume its the usual rheostat failure but i've got a few...
I want to fit an oil temp gauge to my 172 but don't want to be going about drilling and tapping the sump to fit the sender. One option (i think) is to replace the level sender that its got at the moment and replace it with the level/temp sender from a valver/williams ala...
At some point in the near future i'll be changing the cam and aux belt on my 172 the procedure looks to be very similar to when I changed it on my old 1.6 but this time i've got the addition of the phase shifter on the inlet camshaft.
In the renault docs it says (obviously) that you need to...
Thought a few people might like to see this so I thought it worth posting up. Its a 1955 Triumph Tiger 100, its been owned by my grandads brother since new and you can see from the pics the last time it was on the road! Been stored in his house from that period up until now so its still bloody...
About 20.50 on lutterworth road heading towards the town, I was in my 172 going the other way. First time i've ever seen a Ph2 V6 in the flesh and it looked awesome!
Anyone on here?
Do you need to flush the braking system on a 172? Looking to get some castrol response dot4 stuff and want to make sure I flush all the old stuff out.
A litre bet enough or would I need 2?
Looking to get some DS2500 pads and brembo hc discs and yozza seem to be the cheapest but was wondering if I can collect? As afaik i'm not that far away, any got a postcode/address?
Changing the standard pads on the 172 for some uprated ones, had greenstuff on the 1.6 and was quite impressed with them over the mintex extremes I tried and definetly better than standard.
Was going to go greenstuff again but was wondering if the DS2500s were worth a look?
Car won't ever see...
What size pipe are people using for their lower grill cold air feeds? Looks pretty tight down there and I don't think the 102mm stuff i've already got will fit.
Car is currently only sporting a ITG panel filter but looking at getting a spare upper+lower intake manifolds and getting them matched by angelworks.
How much benefit will I see without a remap? A prospeed will be on the cards too as my centre section is knackered no decat though.
Oh well i've gone and started it all over again :dapprove:, still nice improvement :D. K-Tec carbon splitter, improves the front end look loads I think :).
