Are those pressures actually ideal, or just book pressures? I know the book pressures for the r26, and the pressures that the dieppe engineers recommend are completely different. Has anyone experimented?

Great car, but one you'd buy to keep in the garage and rarely drive. I'd personally much rather an audi quattro and drive the thing. Or a 190 evo as a garage Queen

Bullshit. 348 was crap, 360 was brilliant. Imo, sounds better than the 430/458. That motor just screams.

I retro fitted cruise to my 172. You need the switch to activate cruise (also turns esp off and has dimmer for the dash). New airbag squib (with cruise wiring). Steering wheel. And pedal switch.

It's an Australian special edition I think. Spelt trophee apparently!

Thanks!

Found a leak in the r26 ac system, and I've got a new ac switch and new seals for the pipe in that area. Does anyone know if it's just a question of undoing the pipe, replace seal, get ac regassed?

I'll pm some pics after work

I've got a crap set of Xenons that you could have for £50 possibly. They work perfectly, but need polishing as they are scratched/uv damaged. But someone else said they wanted them, I'll check if they still do

The legality is questionable, could certainly be an mot fail, as you don't have washers or self levelling. Personally I wouldn't bother. Cheap hid kits aren't brilliantly made, risk of them going up in smoke puts me off these days. And don't fit a hid kit into standard headlights. They aren't...

Ktec. You'll probably get 200bhp plus. Only on their rr obviously.

Monday evening this week.

Torque limiting is the future. Ferrari are using it as a way to replicate NA feel, with the inherent mpg benefits of modern turbos. If it helps the longevity of the car, I don't see a problem?

Ignore me, confuse between LSD and torque vectoring.

Is it actual torque vectoring, or a version of brake steer?

Supermarket fuel? Brave/foolish!

I normally get 340 miles from the 172 before the light comes on. That's mixed driving, motorway at 80. No doubt the st is a bit more economical than a 1*2 (fuel wise!)

Range should be 450miles plus at 45mpg.

Weirdly one of my favourite cars. Surprisingly quick, lovely ride/handling.

Not disputing that, would be interested to know how it compares to the calculated. Ran a 1.8tdci for a while. Trip read 70mpg, but was only actually doing 57mpg. If it's actually 45mpg+ that's superb.

Actual 50mpg (ie calculated?)

Those mats will be ducked after Le Mans.

Was quite close to us. Could see the smoke from Dunlop!

That's the one! Unattended BBQ wasn't it?

Just be careful with the BBQ's. Sure we all remember the fire lol

That age of car, I'd buy on condition alone. Can't be too picky with 10yr old s**t boxes.

Is this the one you've looked at? http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-clio/-reduced-for-the-weekend--renault-clio-172-ff-in-flame-red--49k-miles/2130646

I'd rather have good bodywork and belts need doing. That way you can get the belts done somewhere reputable and know it's been done correctly. But tbh, it's a £2-3k 10yr old car. There will be some issue's.

Christ. Paid £2000 for mine in jan. 53k miles, decent condition. Needed belts doing, and one or two other small issues. £1700 on 91k!
