Good try but no cigar. You really should have been faster as i had four people in and you were on your own. never underestimate diesel barges. Your car did look very nice though :) the three passengers are cliosport members before all the doubters start with the comments.

I finally got some coilovers for the barge the drop is about 50mm as its the daily driver. before After Sorry for the bad quality pics i'll upload better quality ones as soon as my mate sends me them.

I want a full list of everything parts wise and price wise for the ph1 172 like renault would have as if the car doesn't sell i'm going to take it off the road and factory fresh everything on it. I know i could just go down to renault but i think they would be pissed off quoting me for all the...

No doubt there will be some better picture taken by other people from the krispy kremes meet but i wanted to post these. Everytime i take the car out it makes me want to keep it as its so much fun an just generally brings a smile to my face. Its going to be hard to hand over if someone buys it...

How would you go about it? the engine was taken out of the car when i crashed and put into storage now i'm selling the engine and the buyer needs to know what to do. Obviously you wouldn't just fit the engine and run it so would you have to do and oil change then turn the engine over by hand...

I'm gutted to sell but i want a megane 225 now so it has to go. Heres the link http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1048724.htm Cheers for looking

I woke up early and it was bright sunshine so i decided to get the good old mountain bike out. As i'm lazy i took a few pics along the way. I ended up doing the best downhill in bolton with dropoffs, berms and loads of big rocks. As i haven't ridden the bike properly for over a year it was such...

Me, rexe and superbenji met up to do some work on the cars so i got a few pics. they are not best ever but nevermind.

That guy in the lexus was a right nob lol. The car is looking good :)

Today i tried recreating some old pictures of the blue 172 as i was at my mates bodyshop and bored. So here they are I think it worked quite well :rasp:

Having spent some time cleaning the old boy its come up alright, I managed to take loads of pics so here a just a few. You can also play spot the spare car parts in the reflections :rasp: I would like to say that i hadn't actually finished cleaning it at this point but as i wanted a...

This car will be a small cube tommorow it is a very Sad day. I'm considering ringing the Sun and getting a front page story. Anyway the pictures before Crashed Today With Eric and the new W17GLE Its quite emotional :o

After settin off at about 8pm last night i got down to the evo triangle by about 9ish so had a couple of blasts round it then had a kip till 5.30am when it started getting light. I didn't have too much hassle other than being chased down the a5 to bewts y coed by what turned out to be a police...

Windows came up with a prompt saying there is a new version of msn available so i updated to it. Now i can't see any of my contacts to talk to them and they can't see me. i've resorted to using the standard msn that was available in the 1800's. how do i get it to work? I've sent invations out to...

A bit of background history of the Car first. The car is a high mileage ph1 172 its on 112k now but has a great service history so the mileage did not put me off. It had Full renault dealer history upto 94k with all the belts done etc etc it also came with a pile of reciepts for general bits...

My bargain 172 is in for its MOT today. What does everyone think it will fail on? we'll see who's right later on. Last time all it failed on was an exhaust that had rusted through and it now has a Blueflame cat back. The car is on 112k and had full service history upto 94k. I think exhaust...

Took the little weekend warrior out in the sun today. I know i was in yorkshire but couldn't tell you where i went as i just picked roads that looked fun. i managed to take a few pics while i was out so i thought i'd post them up. And a pic of the luxurious interior It was a...

Is it one kit fits all 172/182? i know the induction bend is different between ph1 and ph2 so what about the coolant kit? i'm in desperate need for the main coolant pipe and it looks like it will be cheaper to go samco than from renault.

Any one else with them? i like the way they work. On the clio policy i can do what ever i like to the car and aslong as it doesn't go above 190bhp the premium will not increase. I thought that was a good way of working coz with Greenlight everytime i changed something they would charge a £25...

Parked up in the trafford centre this morning when i couldn't find a spot. Couldn't manage to slot the barge anywhere. Car looked dirty lol

I'm really missing my old blue clio so i thought i'd put some pics of it up and its new replacement which i haven't bothered to drive for over three weeks. In its prime After the crash Its replacement and while i'm at it one of the barge I miss that blue one and...

Its not that quick compared to the vectra lol i'm dissapointed. Doing stupid dangerous overtakes near the police station is also rather silly.

Has anyone replaced all the suspension and subframe bushes? is it difficult to do? The 172 i bought is on 110k and the rear subframe bushes are shot. Seen as i have all new engine mounts and driveshafts to go on it i may as well replace everything else while i'm at it. i'd be greatful for any info

I wrote mine off a few months ago and was gutted but instead of replacing it with a clio i bought a vectra diesel barge. All was going well for a while as turbos are cool and all that torque is great fun but the lack of revs and noise was annoying me. I've been selling bits off my clio while...

I need to remove the sideskirts from my 172 i thought they would just be held on by torx screws but it looks like they are riveted on. How do i get them off?

please can you help me how do i get the gearknob off? does it just twist off? cheers

Is it possible to fit the 172 engine into a valver? what parts are needed from the 172? i have a full 172 to use i'm just struggling to find a cheap ph2 mk 1 so was wondering about using either the valver or for total stealth a ph1 mk2 as these are a lot cheaper. Any help will be appreciated the...

After writing my phase 1 172 off i decided i'd be slightly more sensible. I ended up with a vectra sri 1.9cdti, it averages 50 mpg and standard its not too much slower than the clio. i'm going to get it remapped which will push it to 200 bhp and 322 ft lb of torque :) . It handles suprisingly...

just crashed mine its all bodywork damage. what are these selling for as spares for conversions? the car has brand new engine mounts and driveshafts, cat back blue flame exhaust, and was a fast one lol. cars on 76k miles. oh its phase 1 so cable throttle not fly by wire rubbish lol

i know i need the cup setup but how much would this cost? also is there much difference in performance with out it?
