got a good list of things to do now i've driven it. change drive shafts change all engine mounts fit cat back sytem of my old one change oil and oil filter ditch the standard airbox- i hated my old one on the standard airbox toocar also needs a good polish and as soon as i get the decat and...

Whats it look like in the light lol

tough choice but 172 would be better day to day though just coz its newer and a bit more solidly built

For the sake of £40 i would go genuine on something that major. it may save you a fortune in the longrun

i'll soon get used to it. black does look good in the flesh i've only ever seen it in pictures before

i'm at work :( when i finally get home i'll take some pics. All i want to do is go out and play in it lol. I've not driven one for two months the lack of torque will be funny though

it may be cheaper to buy and old ph1 take all the parts you need then ebay off the rest of the stuff or sell it on here

i'll give you a grand for it

I lowered mine on sportlines and did about 10,000 miles and had no problems with the dampers at all. the car had 75k on the clock

i could have just been a 1.4 sport

Hi mate my mate wants one now after driving it home so hopefully we will be buying a silver one that is local today. i'll send you some pics when its got all its new bits on and its been machine polished. Get a tuning box for the diesel i love the power of the vectra Chris

Got the car now and its far better than expected. it does need all my mounts and the driveshafts of my old one fitted though. It also needs the exhaust and filter as it feels a little restricted. i'll soon have it sorted though. i'll get pics up sometime tommorow when i've actually seen it in...

yeah keeping them both mate its cheaper taxing both of them than it would be taxing a newer 182

no you mis-understand what i'm saying. Driving round town is not always best for cars as you are constantly stoping and starting which puts extra wear on components and also they are usually short journeys so the engine isn't given time to warm up and get to correct running temperatures. I'm...

the car has obviously not been driven very much which may be good for overall condition but it'll not be best ever for the engine. if its not being driven far the engine will be not getting up to temperature and also if its low mileage its usually coz its only done stop start stuff in town. ones...

110k ish but its got good service history with it though so the mileage isn't worrying me. i've bassically got a full other 172 to rob parts off it breaks anyway. :)

Don't know if it will ever live up to the old one, that thing was silly quick. May have to swap engines if it feels slow lol

i'm getting it at six tonight mate so pics will have to be done tommorow

Afraid not :( i wouldn't want that low milage as the car will be driven hard

i wanted white wheels on my old one (oddysy blue pretty much the same) but never got chance to do it. Go for it, it will look amazing

welcome to cliosport :)

my next interior is not going that cheap lol

Will do mate, i'm really looking forward to it. It'll be a minter when i've finished with it. i'm going to get all the subframes off my old one and get them all cleaned and painted, going to start cleaning my bottles, pipes and engine components off the old one to swap accross too. Hopefully...

i do nearly as much as oddysy blue that i had before

Don't make the mistake i made and let it all go for £100

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've got a vectra sri bus and love it. good choice mate which model are you going for? mines the 150 cdti

Mate i'm selling you parts ands i still think you should save for a 172 lol. I think you will regret ploughing money into this car when you add up everything you spend on it you would have a big chunk that could have gone towards the 172 :)

I was gutted that it had gone too :( i used it when i was stripping my car.

try fubarnet there is a guide on there. if not its really easy there are about 4 torx screws across the top in the windoe vents and two either side. i don't think there was any more
