Your car carbon is one of the best MK1 172s on here so I must be doing some things right. You planning on doing anything else or are you still selling it? Yes the aerial is on the front!

Cheers guys, I am trying not to spend too much money, buts its really hard ! Wouldnt mind doing some engine mods when I get some money together!

When you look at the bumper from the side it looks bumpy instead of smooth. Is this common or does it mean my bumper has been repaired at some stage?

When going over pot holes there is quite a loud squeak coming from the front drivers side somewhere. I thought it was on the suspension but I have recently uprated this but the noise is still there and probably worse! I dont think it is a noise from interior parts but it is hard to tell! Any...

Looks very nice! How do you find speed bumps because mine is not quite as low as that but my sump tray and cat sometimes catch!

Should have re-sized but not to worry! What do you guys think? Fitted with H&R coilovers, k-tech stealth and turinis! Not sure what to do next- would like more power!

How do I block out the number plates?

How do I go about putting pictures of my car onto the site and do I need to be a member first?

Are they really loud and raspy? I already have a k-tec stealth system !

I am thinking of getting a decat but am concerned about the management light coming on. Will it definately come on and does it cause any problems with the car? How do they sound as the last one I had on my 106gti I took off as it was so raspy and spoilt the exhaust note?

I would like a cup spoiler for my MK1 172 and wondered what the best price would be including VAT?

Does anyone know what trade discount you get at renault? Can you get a discount for any other reason?

Did you fit the k-tec one or a different make? How much did it cost you?

Did you notice any improvements with it fitted?

Is one of those k-tec and one janspeed then? Which is cheaper?(k-tec about £145)

I am looking into getting a decat from K-TEC for MY 172 and wondered how it will sound with my t-tec stealth system? Will it be much louder and do they sound good as the last one I fitted to my 106gti made it sound raspy so I took if off!

Followed you along Worcester Lane Stourbridge this afternoon in my brothers flame red MK2 172 !! Clean it !!

Had mine replaced today and Renault sais that it should cost £170 but knocked it down to £100 because they did some work I was not happy with. Does anyone know if £170 is the usual price or is it rubbish trying to make me believe they have done me a favour?

Would like to brighten up my engine bay and thought about fitting Hillpowers inlet bend and wondered whether it fits onto the standard airbox? The bend on the car as standard doesnt look like a 90 degree! Can I just buy a samco 90 degree bend as its cheaper and then run the breather into a...

Will fitting a de-cat to a mk1 172 make the car much louder. I already have a k-tec stealth exhaust which isnt too loud and do not want the car to sound like a boy racers motor!

I have had my suspension on the car for a couple of weeks and I am really pleased with it. Just thought I would check that when I fitted the kit I set the front struts up so that they both measured the same distance from the bottom of the strut to the base of the platform that the spring sits...

Paid about £650 as I have a mate in the car industry who could get me a discount. Definately worth it though the handling is superb and the ride isnt harsh at all. Certainly you can feel the bad bumps but no more than the standard springs really. I havent taken any pictures yet but I will clean...

Fitted my coilovers a couple of weeks ago and I am really impressed. The only thing I have noticed is that the car moves to the right slightly when the steering wheel is straight and wondered whether this will be corrected when the tracking is done on friday

If I fit them I would do it correctly and use longer bolts but I have heard so many things about them that I am unsure as to whether they are safe and whether they cause increased trye wear or unstable handling!

Yes they are 37.5 I think but it doesnt push them out enough. If it will cause problems then I will leave it!

I have a MK1 172 with cup turinis and H&R coilovers. I have spent a fair bit of money on the looks and handling of the car but I cant help but feel unhappy with how the wheels sit in the front arch. They just dont fill the arch enough(not even like the cup) and I wondered what peoples views on...

How do you drain the brake fluid on a mk1 172 and what do you use and how do you flush the system out? What do you do to bleed the brakes?

Need to replace the front brakes on my mk1 172 and have looked at previous posts and the DS2500 pads seem to be recommended. However people say they will wear the discs out quicker and wondered how quickly. I only do about 5000 miles a year so would they last a couple of years. I do not do any...
