my 1.2 16v used to spin in the wet, changing into 3rd gear, and that was with 17s on!! lol.......i smell....SHITE ;)
**can you tell ive just read through all 11 pages? lol
nice one matey! You sticking with the 15s on it? If so, you should switch to 195/50's when the time comes mate, work a bit better with the 15s and 60mm drop i find :).
good point, her brakes are due for replacing. Actually thinking about it.........she had to get her fluid toppped up the other week as there was hardly any in it. her brake pedal feels like it travels very far to me also.
I had a cv boot go on mine the other month, on the motorway, 150 miles...
Yea all stock parts on the car in question. It just feels like something has worn out to me. it bloody scared me when i hit the brakes........i wasnt even going that fast, it just couldnt cope with the un-even road surface. Geometry is the 1st thing on the list for her i think.
Sorry, Day, the car was fine when Vicky first took ownership.......it is just recently got like this and it hasnt been in any accidents under her ownership :) It was the same before the new tyres too.
agree with that one! :) it was the softness of the front end that shocked me the most..... A good checkup at a garage should help resolve some things. So Rex, can i have a go in your cup to see how they should be? lol lol. I'm thinkin about upgrading mine to a 172, this wee drive tonight was a...
Well she has just had all 4 wheels refurbd! lol, she 'likes' the kerbs i would say! plus with the steering being off-centre there is obviously something amiss! I would say the geometry is definately out, as hit a bump and each wheel seems to have its own idea of where it wants to go.
Blaze...........your whole post doesnt make one bit of sense to me? What car repair? I wasnt even going THAT hard as it wasnt my 172, and i know anyone on here with a decent clio would say the same about the way this 172 is driving at the moment.
If you care to go into more detail as to what...
Okay, need some advice guys. I drove Vickys 172 up one of my favourite roads tonight, and i was so so shocked it is beyond belief. Vickys been saying the steerin feels funny lately, so i had a go. Now, ive been punting my clio up this road lately, and know it so well. My 1.2 makes her 172 feel...
lol its cool. Has Dutty had 15s on his? i cant keep up. i know he has had most things on it lol. The wheels are brand spankers painted to Renault 676 colour code! :D
Im kinda ashamed tho because it hadnt been washed for 3 or 4 days :( lol!!!
I dont want to do any more with it.......im thinkin about upgrading to a 172, or something else.....the car has a lot to give and drives like a dream, i think a new owner would appreciate it more than i do now :)
Alan, book me in next time im up the road then ;)
Knob and mats stay as i canny be bothered to change them :D
And now way are they Duttys old wheels!!!! lol, i dont do 2nd hand ;)
