will be looking at decatting the 172 in the near future, just wondered what my options were. Dont want silenced, but it must be for the ph1 172. Only know of the k-tec offering currently. I'm aware yozzasport do one but as far as i know it doesnt fit the ph1. Cheers Tom

Had the car a couple of weeks now, really impressed with it, feels much more mature than the valver. Anyway, finally got round to taking a few admittedly rubbish camphone pics today. Car was bought completely standard except for a longlife hidden stainless system. Only changes i've made so far...

Just trying to iron out a couple of niggles with my new car. The speedo needle will 'jump' up to higher speeds when you put your foot down around 50+ mph. For example, if you accelerate hard, as the speed increases, when your at around 55 the needle will take off and jump to 80 and waver...

Stumbled across this on a French clio forum. Looks like homebrew but i want it very badly regardless. It was in a for sale section but from my limited french i think its sold. some more pics and a video. http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=MNOiEtfQpmA&feature=channel

right im in trouble. Following on from my previous thread about changing the inlet manifold, this has happened. It looked like rain so rather than fight with the side bolt near the aux belt i decided to bolt everything back up and pop the new plenum on and change the lower manifold another day...

I'm midway through popping my matched inlets on. Got the plenum off fine, and im currently at the point of trying to remover the manifold itself. I'm following the guide thats on here but its not massively clear. I've taken off the two bolts holding the fuel rail on, buty how do i get the...

Been looking for one for ages, finally one popped up close by. Went and looked at it friday and was impressed, went back today for a test drive and all seemed really good, i've left a deposit so the car is now mine!! So happy! Its a 2000 titanium silver, i think its got the ally bonnet as it...

Do you ever come back in from a drive out and realise your still grinning from ear to ear? God i love these little cars. Recently discovered a fantastic 45 mile round 'loop' that takes in some brilliant twistys, and i've just come back in from attacking it along with my mate in his megane...

I'm on the lookout for a ph1 172. Was meant to be going to look at a mint one tomorrow but the chap sold the car today - absolutely gutted! Theres another one thats just popped up on pistonheads for £2600 which has done 78k, but according to the chap when i rang, it has never had a cambelt...

I'm posting this on behalf of my housemate as he doesnt have an account on here, and the people on coupe-club have been useless. Just got some new Sparco Chrono Road seats for my mark 1 megane coupe, tried to bob them in today and came across a few problems. Helpfully Sparco don't supply the...

Went out with a friend to get some shots. Ended up getting carried away as usual. Finally a few HDR shots: Cheers, Tom

Me and my houemate had a bit of a mental cleaning session today. Started off with the usual wash, shammy down and towel off, clay bar'd the whole thing (which i was amazed with), t-cut some bits, then polished it all. Nipped out for a few shots afterwards. The megane is waiting to be...

I've been slowly forcing my housemate to tickle his megane coupe, and today the 2nd phase of this arrived! I've steered him towards some black pro race 1.2's but whilst i told him to go for 16's hes gone for 17's but they dont look too bad. Desperately needs lowering though which is on the...

Bobbed the front spacers on this morning, so thought id snap a first few couple of decent pics with the new wheels on. As always, click for biggarrr!!

Got the tyres swapped over and the wheels on tonight. 3mm spacers arriving tomorrow so the fronts clear the calipers by a decent margin. Couple of sneaky shots i got tonight when it was already dark, and in a confied driveway. Providing the weather is good tomorrow ill try get some decent...

Bobbed my new discs on today and thought we'd eye up the wheels at the same time. Still waiting on two to arrive and have them all bored but i cant wait to get them on now. Think they look rather good on silver. Just by holding them up though, it looks like the caliper is going to very...

Half of my new wheels came from germany today, theyre not mint by any means but i got them DIRT cheap. When the other two turn up theyre going off for some machining so they will fit on the clio hubs Couple of teasers: Von Deutschland!!! Diiiiiishey dishy dish. hope the other 2 come...

Me and my mate are after somewhere to take some pictures of the cars but the problem we always have is that we cant think of anywhere photogenic, where there is a decent bit of lighting and there isnt security crawling all over the place as soon as you set up a tri-pod. Do any of the...

Decided as its getting a bit warmer id switch the car back to comfort mode and bob all the seats and whatnot back in the back. Put my sub and amp back in as well, but now they are making a wierd noise. With the engine off its fine, but start the car and the sub starts to make a pitched drone...

At the 106 owners meet at xscape.

Took this earlier on the way to my favourite chippy. Get caught up behind a white van but pass him when its safe to do so. Also manage to completely miss first on a tight corner towards the end - im not normally such a s**t driver! :o

I've just got a nice new laptop after my old one vandalised itself, and have to say im very impressed. Anyway, it came preloaded with vista and ive only ever used xp before. It all looks very pretty but i think in some ways theyve gone backwards with the way stuff is laid out and operates...

Both cars are fairly dirty, but these were taken after a bit of a blast along yorkshire's roads - most of which are farm tracks. Cheers Tom Little bit of tri-pod action going on here!

To celebrate the fact that after over one year of searching my mate finally found a mint 106 GTI, we gave them both a clean and went and took some pictures along with my rickety old bus. Heres a few of the nicer ones: Cheers Tom

Looots of photos here so i appologise in advance, i tried to wittle them down but theres still a van full left. Went up to a local place which is basically a big rock formation called the cow & calf, its good for some pics and is nice and high so you get some decent views. A few of us went up...

Had my car dyno'd today at RS Tuning's rather expensive new dyno dynamics rr. Its an impressive setup and im aware its incredibly accurate. Have to say im impressed with the results. Its a 96 valver with over 100k on the clock. Mods are: a power sapping open hill power induction kit (for the...

Drove past on my way for fish and chips, on the way back abandoned the car and took a cheeky picture. I like the wheel combo but needs decking.

Right before FCS, THIS happens. Great. Just noticed that fuel is pissing out of a join near the fuel rail. I cant get the clip off to have a look if thers a split in the bottom of the pipe or anything, so i smeared some sealent on in blind panic which was obviously not the way forward. What...

Was in the process of changing my pads on the rear, and couldnt get the piston in far enough, it seemed to have no movement in it, yet when you put the handbrake on it pushes out as it should, it just doesnt withdraw like it should. Smacking it with a hammer wont even more it. Its now out to...

Had a poke around with the wheels off today and it soon became apparent i was in dire need of some new rear pads. Now as its the rear i dont need to be spending mega money on race pads or anything, i just want a set of new pads that will do the trick. Thing is, ive got a few quid sat in my...
