Yeah got a few updates, been ridiculously busy with work lately though. Bought the car from a guy called Paul Buchanan in Edinburgh, paulb2 on here iirc. I now have the brakes fitted, brembo HC front discs and ferodo DS2500 pads with ATE superblue fluid. Also got the solid engine mounts...

What's needed to fit the 197 brembos? Just an adapter bracket? Are you using standard disc size?

Try Andyrg mate

Can you PM me the details of your kit?

What a f**king b**ch your ex is! Fancy letting her mate take the blame!

I'm not sure that's the case anymore mate. Could be wrong though.

Mine has over 2 degrees front camber without bolts. Tracking done on New Year's Eve on a hunter machine. The lowering will have increased the camber I'd say.

They came on the car, coilovers next year when the weather improves :)

I find them dead harsh! All the reviews on here seem to say decent ride quality though?

They sold an iceberg 172 last week that they didn't have advertised anywhere, I saw Andy doing the prep on it when I went to get my anti roll bar fitted. I think Trevor is on holiday for a couple of weeks, he'd be the best one to talk to.

I'd recommend DTM in a heartbeat. It's the only place I take my clio for work done. Re their prices, all of their cars are mechanically A1 and generally have new belts. Ring them up, they're nice lads.

My old 172 from Australia. Clios are rare over there so this car got truly pampered. The current clio gets a lot more use and abuse.

My thread has arrived

Andy has taken me in one. (Un)fortunately the clutch was slipping so I didn't get the full effect.

The temptation to boost my car is getting too strong. Keep seeing Andy working on these conversions and struggle to keep my sensible head on!

Rstuner is from www.fastchip.nl Send Henk an e-mail and he can explain everything about the rstuner as it's his product. I've done it on both 172s I've owned. It's one of the best bang for buck mods you can do to these cars. Improves the drivability no end!

172 and 182 have the same front bumper so yes it fits. Just needs to be trimmed down in length.

I rev match everything I drive. It's just a habit now. I only heel and toe when I'm properly pushing on as I find I need to be quite deep on the brakes to be able to keep steady pressure on the brake pedal while rev matching.

The front cup holders are totally useless and possibly the worst design in the world.

They did my aux belt kit and a new PAS pump a few months ago when I first bought the car. Definitely recommend their work.

Yeah mate I found a pair, it's in at DTM cars at the moment getting sorted out now :)

I'm slowly making my 172 track ready for next year, wanting to do the same circuits as you and maybe Knockhill occasionally. You'll have to give me a shout if you book any days.

Yes that will be DTM's. Was speaking to Trev today.

That was me that flashed you this afternoon, in the utterly filthy Monaco!

Does the ABS work? Could be a cracked reluctor ring? When mine had the wrong reluctor rings on the rear (long story) the dash lights were intermittent.

Boost. Will he, won't he??

Go for a 172 and keep some extra pennies towards the running costs. I'm on to my second 172 now, IMO there's not enough difference between the two to justify the premium that some 182s command (unless its LY or RB.)

Lol at the 9 seconds comment. Poor troll.

This was the one I was talking to you about on Tuesday.

Sounds like you've got 3rd not 5th...
