Seems a lot of you are generalising that ALL young drivers are stupid and take unnecessary risks. I got my 172 at 19 (now just over 20) and unlike other young drivers, I know MY limits as well as the cars limits. There's a time and a place for everything. I don't have anything to prove to...

Where else is the sub supposed to go? :rasp:

and OzRS :P Tell me about it, Clios here are over 2x as much as in the UK. I want to drop it a tiiiiny bit more at the front, I'm talking like 1-1.5cm. Cheers.

Done a few things to her lately (mainly the boot install) But this is how she sits now on the Bilstein B14's. Morel Ultimo SC 10":

Have taken some pics lately and figured I'd post them up :)

At the 2010 OzRS Nationals ;)

No filter's used. Was a single exposure but I used a graduated overlay in Lightroom that was probably around -3 exposure to bring the clouds back then max clarity and big boost in contrast ;)

Good to see my video's being shared... and a few of my pics ;) Mine's the Iceberg Clio with the sunroof - it was fitted by the dealer before the car was even registered! Not a bad thing to have in summer :cool: Few more pics for your viewing pleasure ;) My car :D

First off, sorry for the thread hi-jack, but I figured I'd post this to let you know you're not the only one out there! Sounds like what mine did back in November... driving along and suddenly no power. Cost me 2700 pounds to get an engine with 40,000km fitted w/ new belts etc + labour. Engine...

IIRC we only had 89? Phase 1's in Oz, no idea about Ph2 172/182's - but they're definitely not popular.

Small update... a lot less red in real life. and a few more of the busted engine!

K-Tec CF Splitter.

Thanks murcod for posting my picture :D Any more details on this fault? For those of you who are interested, here are a few more. I should mention that this too is cylinder #3...

:D

At this stage it appears the head gasket decided to let go rather suddenly - in the process taking 3 rods, creating a hole in the back of the block and dumping some alloy filings in the inlet manifold :D Not sure what caused the gasket to go though - there was no warning! Car was running...

Just a small update... I upgraded my car with a bigger engine and wheels, but for some reason it was slower than before.

Apologies for double post... Yes, the wheels are 16x7 - I believe 16x7 fit 195-215. We don't have very many. We only got 85 Ph1 172's - all individually numbered. Ph2 was more - but I'd still put the number at no more than a few hundred. 182's got more popular again...

Was using my friends camera for this - 5d2 w/ 24-70 + 3 580EXII w/ ST-E2 I use a 1d2 w/ a whole bunch of stuff. I've got the original lights - I think they look a lot worse. The photos don't show the rear lights too well. I agree with you on the exhaust, but I'm not about to fork out...

Not sure why you ask? Definitely not - sold back in February 2005 brand new to a lady from the Renault dealer not far from me. Then sold to the 2nd guy who did all the work on this car, then to another who sold it to me, as he lost his license :nono:

Thanks for the comments :) Here are a few more shots (excuse the 1st shot being misfocused :() Adamio - Silvervisions are on the list. I'm also wondering whether to paint diamonds & calipers orange to be different :D Either that, or yellow calipers with anthracite diamonds. Car has: Tint...

Finally got around to taking some proper pics of my 172...

I find the best way to clean filters is either with a micro-fibre cloth or one of the Lens Pens.
