where did you get these sir?

Thinking I might leave these till the summer when I get some r888s or similar, there seems to be alot of doubt about the benifits on road tyres, but I think its safe to assume that the extra flex the car will have with the extra grip for semis will be well dialled out with these. My mate has a...

How can I tell if mine does? Its a YReg and doesnt have shift light!

do all ph1s have an aloy bonnet :)?

I assume you have suspension mods as well? did you do them at the same time as the brace or add the brace later? If you added the brace later did it make quite a difference then? when you say properly you mean under the strut top?

Trying to think of things which I can remove / replace from my MK2 Ph1 to keep the weight down, got loads of things to remove from the back, but so far struggling to think of that much weight from the front: Engine Covers Aircon Soundproofing under bonnet Battery to Boot I want to keep my...

I thought french cars were made of cheese :P. What about if there bolted onto/under the rear/front strut tops? every car ive ever had a strut brace fitted onto had it fitted there. Never seen one with self tappers before, that would be fuking useless :rasp: What about uprated ARB's?

Ok, Ive got my H&Rs on and am enjoying the improvement of the handling on my ph1 172 now. I drive my car very hard, everyday and hopefully it will be seeing the track later in the year too. On every other car forum (nissan gtir / clio williams / crx uk / sxoc / etc...) strut braces seem to be...

can someone just confirm that as standard the clio runs 1 deg on the front? as I have a camber kit and soon will be getting all the allignment done. I assumed the camber would be 0deg standard so was going togo for neg1, but if its neg1 standard then ill probs goto neg2 when the allignment is...

As i said " I know I should have the front a little lower than the back for handling, but this weekend was going for looks only" the allignment and proper ride height will be done next week by a mate at the tt shop, so thought id see what it looked like Low before then. Anyone got H&Rs and...

Ok so I finally got round to fitting my H&Rs to my clio, droped the front to the height I wanted for now and theres still about a cm togo, if I ever choose todo so. Then when It came to the rear i droped them all the way to the bottom, expecting to see the wheel dissapear into the arch...

cheers, looks like the great british storm may prevent me from doing these till the weekend now. More time to gather info though

After about 5 hours last sunday I managed to fit my front h&rs to my ph1 172. I didn´t however get round to rears. I am going home in the early hours of monday morning and should have a few hours monday to finish the job by doing the rears. I was hoping for some tips on what parts I should...

Just bought some of the h&r ones from yozza sport togo with my h&r coilovers which im fitting tommorow, can someone tell me where they go and what they go in place of. A picture would be amazing. I have searched but only found guides on fitting lowering springs and replacing standard shocks...

I used to think it was for wheel bolts, but then I snapped one on my valver. Pain in the arse.....

I probably popped in on my usual sunday nite drive, ph1 172 black (think I had oz SUPER TS on the back and speedlines on the front) that evening.

Ive had 2x Clio 16v's Saxo VTS CRX VT and now have a 172 ph1 At first I wasnt sure about my clio, but now after pushing it a little more and getting used to it Id definitly say the clio has the best level of grip and is the fastest at changing direction in my opinion (even though its the...

Ohh the valvetrain I see, well I assume there must be specialist places that sell uprated kits for the clio? Anyone know any? These are common mods for alot of Honda tuners I belive?

Currently have OZ wheels with on my car and am wanting speedlines, was wondering if my OZ fitment bolts would be suitable for the speedlines or are they going to have a different shape chamfer where the bolt touches the wheel?

Indeed, you must have a good job Or are your parents getting it for you?

whats the roller rocker assembly? CAN uprated ones be bought?

Was def a 260, well definitly had the 260 badges and a v8 badge, cant be many copies hehe

I am quite interested in building an engine to rev high, I want to avoid the torque a turbo / supercharger produces as I belive it affects to many other components? What did you include in the actual build of the engine to allow it to rev so high? I would love to reach 8500rmp plus, but I...

my Ph1 172 just exhaust and about 20 kg of lightening

what did it rev to? or did it have and aftermarket box? that is amazing

Funny this topic should come up. Rarely do I get races on the way to work, seems to be a route filled with boring slow people, however down the bedford bypass a few mornings ago I raced one of these from about 30mph at the top of the sliproad to about 130. I was behind and was absolutly...

nice one ill have a gander at them. I should say weight it my main issue here to, the lighter the better :rasp:

Was hoping to make one of my next mods for my ph1 172 some slightly more hardcore seats. So far i'm undecided on whether I will be going for fixed or adjustable. I do know however that I will not have the £500+ for a pair of seats with subframes from the shops, so Ive been looking at...

I see. I was told 172's could run anything from 34 to 42. Will this be ok on a 50mm (ish) drop? Or is that pushing it?

Which will stick out further et 37 or et 42? I gather one does by 5mm but which way round is it? I assume you mean the 37s will scrub on the outside of his archs if anything?
