Just been chatting to (having my car slated by) a guy called Chris H on Migweb. He's well into his old skool Renaults from what I gather. He mentioned the above mod. I can't find any info on the search facility. Is Ben still doing this? How much is it and does anyone have any before after...
Had it since Tuesday and I love it. I started de-tarring it today, takes ages as it is caked under both skirts, along both sides and across the front. Fook knows where it has been. At least there aren't as many chips as first appear when it is covered in tar.
Got a custom stainless...
My little shopping list for my Mk2 172:
Silver vision indicator bulbs,
Clear repeaters with silver visions,
A cat replacement pipe/any good fabricators in the Leeds area?
Thanks chaps.
I have just got my 2002 172 and have given the engine a quick clean. As a ritual I always take a look at the intake of a new car to see if there are any gains to be had.
I think I may vent the breather pipe which runs to the intake elbow and seal the elbow as this gas is taking up space which...
I am faced with a predicament. I have put a deposit on a 172. I went to see the car yesterday and I saw the owners girlfriend. Apparently it is her boyfriends car, (his name is on the log book) which he pays the loan on but he has a company car so Julie drives it. They are also splitting up...
As above. the only problem is that it has a stainless exhaust which gets really boomy at about 3k. Is there anything I can do to quiten it (silencer maybe). I was thinking of a decat so maybe get it done at the same time as this.
Ive never been near one before but have always wanted one.
I am going to see a mk2 tomorrow which has 30k on the clock and is up for £6600. What should I look out for?
Would I be stupid to buy the first I saw?
My loan has just come through today so I now have £7k burning a hole in my pocket. Where is a good place to look for a 172 (not Cup). I want:
Leather,
Less than 40k,
Mk2
Any ideas?
Im just wondering as I dont want a Cup but would like to be able to compare prices with 172s. Does the exclusivity outweigh the fact the car is poverty spec in comparison?
Dont shoot me down as I am new to this Clio lark. Ive had a good search but cant find the answer.
Is a 182 worth the roughly £1500 premium over a 172?
Can a 172 be converted to 182 spec?
Thanks in advance.
