What he said.........
Clio (2000-) DS2500 FCP406H 88.00
Id go back to the standard discs and get good pads. Seeing youre dad can get stuff trade and as cheap as chips.
Or are the pads what make them squeek?
I heard getting good hoses improves the standard brakes...
That double din HU looks pretty heavy!!
Just get a rubber blocker for the hole.
I seem to remember there are quite a few heavy bits on a 2. Bonnet isnt alloy like the IV > is it?
Again mate its just my 2 pence worth. I see a 172 as a better and newer car than a valver. You and others have different views which is fine. Isnt ABS only an option and hard to find?
Pity it doesnt go.
I remember the Evo 2 had a really nice big back seat and good rear speakers.
Mate of Jons had an Evo 1 RS with full cage and lightweight buckets. Also put out 350bhp+
He said it was very fast!
Rear wiper motor might save a few kgs
On these pictures you can see why...
Nah! For me a mk1 172 all the way.
For me a valver is too old and isnt as safe as the newer clio. Also the 172 has all the modern stuff like A/C and ABS.
Call me boring but thats my opinion.
Also the 172 is pretty near to that old skool feel for a modern hatch.
Not saying you dont know how to drive mate. Im saying that the 172 is a nicer everday place to be and youd be hard pushed to tell the difference in performance.
Spotted outside my flat about 3:30 this afternoon. Was just about to get the car out as it drove past.
Bottom of Spout Hill, Croydon (Addington Village Road)
Fella was a bit older than youre average 172 owner.
Anyone on here?
