Thanks alot guys, bearing in mind this is an everyday driver as well, is it worth getting any strut braces or uprated arbs? or will that be unnecessary?
Also I have purchased but never fitted strut top knocking washers (to fix the common knocking issue from the top of the struts) will I need...
Ok I have about £600 to spend on coilovers and since H&Rs are just out of my reach I will probably be getting FK Konigsports which I have found for £545 delivered (anyone know anywhere cheaper please share ;) ).
First of all I know you can adjust the stiffness on these, however the blod for...
I have been looking at buckets for my FF however also looked at a cheaper option, how hard would it be to make up some brackets to fit for instance the standard cloth seats from a CRX 1.6i-16?
I assume a seat like that would weigh less than 8kg?
And there bloody comfy, they may look s**t but...
Does anyone know what kind of weight loss a MK2 Ph1 172 could achieve?
As standard there 1035kg? I plan to lose:
replacing the airbagged seats with buckets (aprox 50kg loss)
both front airbags
most interior plastics
all carpets
door cards
spare wheel
sound deadening (that I can get to easily)...
I had a pulsar running just over 300bhp on a fully forged engine before My clio. I bought mine for 5k and it was the best one I could find at the time, yet I stil had to shell out for a top end rebuild within months of owning it. Shortly after the clutch started going and I was quoted 800...
Probably just worth doing throttle bodies and cams then, a full throttle body setup went for 400 minus management a few months ago, so I reackon I could do the thottle body kit management and cams for under £2k myself *obviously getting the map done professionally* LOW MPG scares me though
What rough bhp at what rpm would this lot see
Decat exhaust
182 mani
matched inlet & exhaust
a mean set of cams
forged pistons/ rods etc
balanced bottom end
BUT WITHOUT USING THROTTLE BODIES (just one more thing to go wrong on my daily driver.
What would I rev an engine like that to?
I...
How much for decent forged pistons, connecting rods and bolts? I would be doing the build myself, you reackon I could do all this and get the bottom end balanced for under 2k if I did it myself?
My old pulsar had a fully forged rebuild by dicksons of dunblane for just over 3k, supplied and fitted!
Currently i'm working on Suspension / Brake & Chassis Mods for my 172, however once I am finished with these I will start tuning. There is alot of info on forced induction tuning on here and also some on fitting a throttle body setup.
However I want reliability and when driving sensibly a...
I don't think its a wheel spin problem, as it does it when im comfortably getting traction in 3rd sometimes. However you may be onto something with the engine on subframe/rack problem. Anyone know if there is anyway to test it this is the problem before I buy a mount?
Otherwise I assume its...
Which mount was it? I had a powerflow cat back fitted recently and that didnt cure my similar problem, was it infront of the cat?
If not then maybe my driveshafts are on there way out, how much are these from renault?

In the for sale section and now on ebay is this piece of kit:

Was going to post and ask a few questions, but i am not aloud to post in the for sale section for some reason :dapprove:
So...
1. Is this plug and play for my ph1 172? (is...
That sounds promising, where do I get these washers from??
Might have to just book it into a garage and say fix it, if that doesn't work though, its so frustrating not knowing what it is :dapprove:
I have a knock but I’m not sure where it’s coming from, I have looked at the mount under the battery tray and that looks mint, the car has only done 40k.
It only knocks under hard acceleration in 2nd and very occasionally 3rd all the other gears are fine. It's not just one knock either it’s a...
I just went to look at the two top engine mounts to see if it was either of them making a vibrating noise i get under hard acceleration in 1st and 2nd. However removing the battery i knocked something that I think might be todo with the airbag. It had a red rubber cover on it, then a clip lid...
Looking at buying a set of wheels, they are 35 offset with 4x100 pcd, so should fit perfectly. However the bore is 75mm. Does anyone know where and if I can get required spacer/spigot rings for it. I want this to be safe I assume spacing it to 60.1 would be????
Anything else I need to know...
Are the rear pads the same for whichever sport you have?
On yozzasport's website they just state 'Bendix Clio 172 / 182 Rear Pads'.
Should these be ok for my Phase 1?

if you sell me your trophy's :rasp:
will the 172 cup wheels not fit at all?
what kind of problem will they cause??
cash is going tobe a problem with the trophy wheels, even though i love them, as people ask £350 without tyres, but 172 cups you can get for £200-250 with. :(
I have searched for this, and have found contradicting information, so if people could clarify it would be great. Basically I have 172 phase 1 (the original, first 172).
I am wanting to fit either 172 cup alloys or 182 trophy wheels.
Now this is where i get confused, does it matter if the...
Looking to buy a second hand 172 exhaust (cat back or full system) was just wondering if the different models will vary (phase 1, phase 2, 172 cup???)
Mine is the original 172 phase 1.
thanks
