is spray painting the standard 172 brake pads (front and rear) an easy task to do? Or do I need some1 who knows what they are doing??
Any1 done it and can run me through what to do, were to and not to spraypaint??
Thanks, piers.
that looks nice! nice spacer size, i would go bigger but im affraid that the wheels may catch the arches especially on lowerd eibech springs...?? or would this not happen?
so far i have got the following..
-renaultsport keyring
-cliosport big rear window sticker
-ktec sticker to put somewhere?? :S
-eibech springs -30mm
-ktec s/s stealth exhaust
then next on the list i think i am going to get the following in the next couple of months...
-itg pannel filter...
hey, seen some nice looking and fairly light alloys, rota slipstreams there called, any1 got any fitted to there clio? Post plenty if pics please!!
Thnks
no spacers, honistly??? only reason i wanted them was because i think cars look sooo much nicer and meaner when the wheels r fulsh with the arches, especially wen lowerd the correct amount...
I just bought a ph2 172 on Sunday, it has come with eibech 30mm drop springs, ktec cup spoiler and ktec stealth exhaust,
I was planning on gettin spacers or it, 20mm all round.
What other mods are a must to have, (even to make the car run better/healthier?)
for those who read and are interested, i got the car, absolute mint condition, and i got it back, it had travelled 500miles today in just under 6hours driving, being well overdue its cambelt,auxbelt,pullys service change by over a year :( :S average speed was 90mph by my dad lol, his view on it...
oright so basicly they are a waste of money etc... unless you want a total rough estimate.... sounds aload of bollox if you ask me since its not even 80% accurate... whats the point in these rolling roads :S ???
well on the paper work i have, the results have come out as 147.6 hp with 135.6 ft-lb at 6000RPM are those figures good? car has a stealth exhaust on it btw...?
hey, i found a dyno chart graph with all the document i got with my new car today, just been flicking trough it and wounderd what BHP/LB.FT you guys wer getting from the wheels onto the road, NOT FLY-WHEEL..
ABSOLUTLY FRIGIN CHUFFED!!! :D :D :D :D
just bought and brought a flame red 172 today! loving it!!
here is a couple of pics of it!!
unfortunatly, these are pics that the previouse owner took, but its to dark and th car is dirty after the long travel today but will post pics up as soon as!!
i dont have a clue on price put im going to guess between 100-200 more per inch" than what ultraleggeras are atm due to them being new and all new light technology in them!
i may invest in some 17"s for my new 172 :D matt black FTW!!
these look good and are amazingly light for the size!! come in loads of different colours! would be ideal for the track i would imagin!!!!!
