    Anyone with a silver mk2 clio

    The springs only drop it by 20mm but what a difference in handling!! After putting the 17s on the handling was.... at the least a bit twitchy!!! but now its just great and even better than standard..IMO. They are 17s with 205-40 tyres and a 40 offset , so near enough not to scrub...

    How much does a brand new 172 cost

    What about Motorpoint/Tradesales and the like. Although they are sourced in Europe they are UK spec...apart from the lack of alarm, and you get 3years warranty. Think the 172 still go for £11999 +RFL.

    172 de-cat and Viper - pics

    Looking again at your pictures I think your Viper looks a bit smaller than mine. Then again you said it was off a Mini. How long was your cold air feed pipe?? my new one (same as yours) isnt the same length as my old one (old one 60mm dia cardboard!!!) and wont fit down to my front grill...

    URGENT HELP!! MY CUPS f**kED!!!!!!

    I never trust the fuel computer either. It tells me im doing on average 36/38mpg but when i fill it up and work it out its actually 29/30mpg!!! so the miles left to do is wrong. I go by the needle position and never let it get anywhere near the red.

    Brakes - yuk!

    Thought about doing this to mine. They now look so grubby and dont clean very well. Biggest problem is what colour?? What colour goes with what colour...if you know what i mean.

    URGENT HELP!! MY CUPS f**kED!!!!!!

    Didnt someone have this happen on the french trip last year??? Sounds the same.....clouds of white..ish smoke. I believe it was an injector problem. Do a search...think it was Tony K Lawrence.

    After extensive research and testing...

    is that reading from the onboard computer?? Mine says 36/38mpg onboard, but when I fill it up and work it out then its only 29/30mpg. Mind you still better than when I first fitted the Viper.....20mpg!!!! OK now tho after the chip

    172 Advise

    Its been nicked then...mine was an import and it had one. Although if you replace the head unit it would become a doorstop!! as only the OE head will work it. Dont think the cable...if that is there...will work with anything else either, could be wrong tho. Never check my optmium gear...

    Attn: 172/Cup owners with a Viper

    Those Piper X boys rule!! My Viper has had the airfeed pipe dissintegrate!!! only checked it yesterday after the induction note completely changed. This is probably why my results sucked at the Northampton RR Day!! Looked as though a couple of the bends have split so it has been sucking...

    Trackers & Insurance =

    Asked my Ins Co and they wernt even bothered about an alarm!!!! just as long as it had an immobilser, which was fitted as standard. (import). Only fitted the 2-1 upgrade for my own peace of mind.

    Its the dogs....Jeez..thought I got a bargain at £310!!! Yes... I had to buy the external aerial as the UV screen blocked the signal but then ALL gps units will suffer with that screen...even Mercs and BMWs!!! It did work sometimes but I wasnt prepared to risk it. So Road Angel dont do...

    Killer’s Black bonnet will be no more!!

    You going to put your parcel shelf back in then dude??;)
  30. chris172

    well p***ed off!!

    What about the price??? did it reflect the fact it was an import?? I dont know what official UK cars and Import cars go for 2nd hand tho. The only difference is the alarm anyway...and my insurance were not interested in whether it had one or not, only wanted to know it had an immobiliser...
