Lots of interior parts, owners strip them out to go racing.

You are correct about the mid section (post cat sensor or not) so would assume correct about rear section, I actually run a complete phase 2 system on my phase 1.

Boosted flamer, what a good idea.

Doubt its the abs sensor, signal comes from the g/box I believe on the phase 1.

I think its only weak if much more power or rpm than it was designed for is used, mines on 72000 miles, gets used properly (I don't sidestep the clutch with 6000 revs on the rev counter) and its sweet.

Itll be fine mate, prefer the slight nose down look anyway.

Take no notice, its different and why wouldnt you uprate the clutch

What is involved/needs changing exactly to allow the later I believe d/shafts to be fitted. thank you.

Mines only a weekend toy, and a week day toy, 13000 in 3 years but I would sooner have nearer 40 mpg than 20, but each to his own.

Could only be the 2 door for me, I thought about buying one a few years ago, my brother beat me to it, and when I saw his fuel consumption I quickly changed my mind, phase 1 suits me best.

The ac is often removed from these engines using cup parts.

While not a 182 my first phase 1 came on lowered suspension and I couldn't live with the ride, even tried other lowered springs, my second on standard suspension afaik is much better.

Not got a cup but I have the k-tec ss super quiet stealth system, it is pretty quiet.

Availability ?? not sure where I would find a 7x15 correct inset/offset steel rim to fit my 172 if I wanted to.

X reg phase 1 just about to click on 72,000

£ 150 EACH for my phase 1 , from Renault about 2 years ago.

I found the hardest bit was actually getting the belt on, didn't want to fit it while not having everthing all bolted in the correct place, so I ground a tiny bit of the alternator allowing it to slide a bit closer and allowing easy belt fitment.

Bought my first 105e in 1972, many more later and sold my last one in 2010, all modified of course.Had thoughts on buying a 100e but ive had enough rust to last me me out.

To me it made more sense to buy the proper tools and do it myself, didn't have to take the car anywhere and I can sell the tools on to recoup some of the cost. my previous cambelt experience, ford pinto, ford 16v engine and vag 8 and 16v was of no help.

If you fit the twin lambda phase 1 cat you can fit a phase 2 exhaust. (TWIN LAMBDA IS LONGER)

I fitted the btb originally because I read on here it was fairly quiet, too loud for me so I fitted the k tec twin pass super quiet stealth system, very happy with the quietness of it.

ive fitted the k-tec stainless super quiet system, apparently not restrictive till about 220 bhp, so fine for na. very pleased with the sound, or lack of it. Previously had a btb which was too loud for me.

Re: Is buying a cliophs1 172 having a full respray sunflower yel cheating or ok Your decision, matters not what anybody else thinks.

Well im a couple of months short of 60 and have the phase 1, if I didn't have it it would be a mk1 golf gti or a 205 gti, cars I have had in the past. They are my sort of car and would own them even if I had some money.

Latest of mine, body kit removed which I think is quite ugly, much prefer the purer lines of the non sport. The wheels are now not lost under the arch,s or half hidden by the sill covers. I do have another set of panels which I need to get sprayed the correct colour and then fit them.

Actually I think ebay prices are a bit more than £100, £100 on this forum.

Yeah, I did do that first. cheers.

Thanks for that but I have the pms aircon delete fitted and its very new, but I will check the tension, no other noises.

When I first start my 172 phase 1,, I get 2 or 3 judders when I first move the steering wheel, then its fine until I start the next time, don't know if its connected but I also seem to be getting more torque steer than usual, suggestions please.

With regard to the pms kit, I found it very hard to get the belt on.
