Seen a video the other night, this guy going round filming, few cars infront is a ph1 172. Guy gets round a corner and the clio is smashed and the passenger is lying beside the car... Dead.
Sounds like mine when I bought it, 17's are an absolute b*****d. No idea why someone would put them on a clio. I'm getting 16s fitted tomorrow morning and I can't wait. Can't take a corner at any speed with 17's. And yeah it feels very high.
You'll love the standard one I'm sure ;)
Hi there...
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what exactly the ESP does and what it stands for?
From what I've gathered, it stops the car spinning so much?
Maybe a silly question but does it have any effects on the braking system at all?
Thanks.
Is there even that much diffferent between the OEM and the fabia oone anyway!
How much work is it to replace the passenger arch liner? Mine needs done.
Yeah as much as I want a set of standard wheels, there's none for sale anywhere near me and any on the net are too expensive for me atm.
The car has 17's on just now which are ripping my arch lining apart. These are 16's.
Possilbly get a set of the standard clio wheels, same shape as the 172...
They obviously need a new set of tyres and a good clean / refurb.
the whole wheel is actually in pretty good nick, just need a good clean, but the laquer has started peeling off the rim.
im thinking of just spraying them all black, all anthracite, or black and a red rim.
they will be going...
Long story buuuut...
Mine dies at 4000 RPM. Its fast until then, then its like a missfire. Still accelorates but just not fast. I put it into renault and they said it was the altenator, not charging the battery enough therefor the battery didn't have enough power to power the car at the...
Alright. Never thought of the dampers tbh. Was planning on just getting coilovers. Maybe have a look at some at the weekend now though! 40mm doesn't look too low or a massive arch gap. Just about right really!
Alright, how's the ride with dampers? I had springs on my old 1.2 and it was bouncy as f**k.
Also, what's the price difference from coilovers? Are the dampers cheaper?
For skoda? No I've already ordered and payed for it. Just noticed when I got the email reciept that paypal had used my old address. Hopefully contact them tomorrow morning and give them my current address!
Cheers stu. Like the clio btw, exactly how I want mine to look when I get everything...
Yeah, I've. Just got my 172 a couple weeks ago, got a few things I need to tidy up before I start spending that sort of money on a splitter :p
Just ordered a fabia 1, paypal have got my old delivery address though :/. Can't find an email addy for skoda and there phone lines are obviously closed...
Sell me yours for less than 50 and ill take it ;) not getting anything too expensive just now, first plans are new wheels and get my front and rear bumper resprayed. Then ill start getting trim. No point putting a 170quid carbon splitter on a scratched shitty faded bumper haha.
Hi there, I've seen a black 182 on here with the Leon cupra R splitter but I'm planning on getting one for my Iceberg 172.
Just wondering if anyone has any pictures on it on a silver car, looks mean on the black but I've got a feeling it will look silly on the silver.
Cheers!
Got the car into renault this weej, turns out that the flat spots are caused by a fucked altenator, lack of power in the battery means it can't cope with the power of the engine at the higher end of the revs so it cuts the power! Costing 460 for the new altenator and the belt kit.
