an amp to the standard 172 cd/radio player. Is it alot of work?? I got full wiring kit and going to get specialist to fit it but just want to know how hard it is so i know how much to expect.
I have 17" wheels on at the mo and looks a bit high. As everyone will tell me the handling will be s**t lol so will lowereing 40mm help it?
If i was to lower 40mm. Could I just buy springs? or would i need new shocks? will 40mm make it a harsh ride to what i have now.
Thought about 60mm but...
This morning went to start car but didnt start up first time! second time was fine. I also noticed for the first 2 mins it was idling just over 1000 revs when normally it under. But then it was fine.
Is this bad? I'll see if it keeps doing it and if so i'll take it into garage.
I have 17" wheels on clio 172 but when i have 2 people in back it rubs. so went to body garage to see how much it will be to roll the back 2 arches and the last time they did it they charged 100 quid for all 4 arches on my corsa b.
However its going to be 240 quid for the back 2 arches!!!! As...
I got 17" wheels with the standard 172 suspension but when i have 2 people in back it rubs loads. What is involved with arch work on a 172? Is it just sanding the lip?
Is it really bad for the car when it rubs?
Mk2 Phase 2 clio 172. It's amazing lol. especially as my last and only car has been a corsa b 1.2 8v lol. so this is luxury to me lol. Has full exhaust system and sounds mint. Ues up alot more petrol though so i will need to start driving below 3000 revs all time soon.
Just wondered. To check...

Found out the clio i'm after had a service at 31k costing around £400 where the AUX belt was replaced. The cam belt hasn't which is why he has put the price down to £5650. I'm going to try get it down to £5550 but all in all would cost 5900/6k as will need to get cam belt done asap.
Once cam...
Sorry probably been asked loads.
21 4 yrs ncb with privilege £650.
The 172 has alloys and exhaust non standard. If i wasnt to claim it does that mean if i had accident they would not pay anything for them two things and so my loss?
Last night went and saw this 172 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/181698.htm
Looks mint in real and sounds amazing. The only thing is I have never driven a clio sport so not sure what to expect. I found the suspension is quite stiff is this with all clio sports? Also the clutch is quite hard...
Hey im new to this forum and i am thinking of getting a clio 172. This one infact. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/181698.htm

Cheers
