My tyres are fine and ive span a few times - mainly in the rain when i do it on purpose for a laugh (when theres no traffic about) pulling off quick isnt too hard to do when done a few times u jus need to concentrate

try biting it at high revs and try your best not to let it spin then keeps the revs up when changing into 2nd and 3rd thats wot i do and it works a treat :D

Got small scratches on rear passenger side and some on front wing on drivers side - could be bushes, vandels or kids. It dont look to bad but not much point re-spraying as only an standard n-reg

1.2 8vs a fairly nippy for the engine size, especially when u think the mk1 1.4 corsas etc (not 16v) have the same 60bhp as the 1149cc 8v clio :) - according to Parkers Guide

Mines got a few :( especially on the bonnet. Not really worth repairing as only a standard 1996 model

Needs to be lowered, those arch gaps are way to big a 30/40mm drop would be good (reffering to the red one)

does anyone know if someones put a v6 kit on a 172??

Not so keen on the car tbh only seems to have the v6 kit front wings?? I do like the V6 bodykits tho, would love to put one on a 172 :)

I wouldnt do anything more than 1ft of water. And if I did it would be at low speed to stope water splashing up. Went thorugh 2ft water in my R5 once and it would start for 2 days lol

The heater and clock use one bulb each - the dials use a few tho - maybe 5-10 (more like 10) cant remember tho aint touched them for ages lol. I think the bulb sizes are 501 on mk1s its best to search and find out tho the links i gave earlier were helpful for me tho

i done my heater panel blue - dials are ok but u have to be careful with the needles - also put a blue led in my clock but it stopped working - not good with stuff like that lol. Changing my cra back to normal now as wanna new car but goto http://www.metal-monkey.co.ukwww.metal-monkey.co.uk and...

lol probably:oops:

yup no rev counter so all guess work when to change. Had it doing 80 in 3rd before - was going down a hill tho

just had my MOT and service done yesterday :) and was coming down a nice big straight road and was gonna overtake this car. Went into 3rd and got to about 83ish then the engine sort of cut out then started again. Taught me a lesson and car has driven fine since. Did I hit the rev limiter or did...

sorry my bad :\

Trying to get my car insurance below 400 quid - lowest i got is 407 with churchill - thats tpft with no claims, convs etc with 2 years ncd - does anyone know any decent companies that may be cheaper than that for a 20 yr old

Think ill be saving up my pennies then :) got a qoute from where i work for around 1600 comp - but theres alot of companies out there that are alot cheaper ;)

Would you think the jumps would be too big?? I can get insured on a 172 for just over a grand :) not bad for a 20 year old with 2 years ncd

hastings, east sussex

damn :(

Got my mot due next month and on my guage in my car the indicator lights dont light up when u indicate but the ones on the outside work fine - does anyone know if this will fail an MOT?

just found out they do if anyone wanted to know :)

lol just like the shape of those cars. I would never put a v6 kit on a 1.2 anyway maybe a 1.4 or 1.6 16v (more engine mods available on those models)

Exactly what i thought :)

I wanna V6 so bad but i know i wouldnt be able to afford the insurance and i need back seats in my car and a boot. Seen the V6 bodykits around but if I had a mk2 clio with the kit i wouldnt wanna put the badges on there. Has anyone got a de-badged v6 out there?

Just a quick question - can you replace Sagem dials with Veliga ones and would they work properly when fitted??

fastwunz - where bouts u based, i swear ive seen that car around before

Wouldnt want comp cover to be honest would only prob get between a 1998 and 2001 and this wont be at least until a years time when ive got the money

I did qoute it on a 2000 model - will check again tho. What year did they start making the 172 in? the Si 16v still coming up with 481ish

Might be selling mine soon as want a new car - starting to think a 1.2 aint enough for me anymore :(
