Morbius - Are you coming to Southend? If you are Ill show you how to get the covers off, if not heres how: 1) Lift the rear seat up! They move and are actually really easy to remove completely. 2) Pull off speaker covers. 3) Remove 4 screws and cable off speaker and remove. 4) Screw...

I can confirm these Pioneers have come a long way and give a good crisp sound throughout the range with nice bass too.

They are the e-motion ones and sound the dogs for £25 each!

You must be made of money then! Id keep them and sell them on as I certainly dont want to throw £100 on speakers and £400 on a head unit down the drain as it wont increase the value of the car.

3-way = Tweeter, mid range and bass 2-way = Mid range and bass I think? The reason I fitted the adapters is that when I come to sell the car all I need to do is unplug the adapters and plug in the old speakers. Id rather leave the original cables intact but if you want to arse about with...

Oh yeah fit them yourself as it is a piece of p*ss!

I have just changed all my speakers in my 172 with Pioneer TS-E1395 13cm 3-way speakers. They fit in no problems but you will need an adapter to connect them but this will apply for ALL coax speakers. The adapter is something like a Pioneer AD-EU800S and you will need two as they come in pairs...

Yup you do get an increase. Why not try Optimax and some octane booster......bye bye!

I think you will need to lower it as the car will sit higher up on 17" alloys. I am going to be doing this in a few weeks....17" alloys on and lowering 30mm on Eibach springs. The part number for the Eibachs, if you want it, is 10750010122 and the RRP is £116.67. You are going to loose ride...

Im dropping my MK2 172 30mm and putting 17" alloys on.

You can get lots of different SS exhausts, usually to suit your preference. You can have a different back box, cat back manifold back including sports cats or manifold straight through with no cats. Bear in mind if you do want to remove the cats it WILL fail an MOT, Geoff

Fast - Give Wicked Wheels a ring on 0800 2985454, they will put you in touch with someone in your area who will come out and repair your wheels. I had mine done on my Fiesta and they do an excellent job. Geoff

R0ach - I have a MK2 172 and am beginning to go down this modding route too. I only think a few parts that are made for the MK1 actually fit the MK2. I am positive that a set of Tarox G88 front discs will fit on both MK1 and MK2. Suspension wise Im not sure. Eibach make a set of 30mm...

There isnt a pic, I simply meant if you go to the Renault fitments you can see it in the list of filters!

At long last an air filter that has been specifically designed for the MK2 172! BMC has made a panel filter designed to go into the exsiting air filter box. You can see it here: http://www.bmcairfilters.com/english/pagfiltor.htm I have emailed Evolution Ltd about getting one of these as...

You dont need to take the dash out Chris! I fitted my mates Sony for test purposes last night and all I had to do was disconnect the radio and plug the headunit in. From what I could see the adapter only needed to be connected to the ISO connectors? Geoff

I used to have a set of 4 A539s on my Fiesta Zetec-S after I got through the P6000s after 10,000 miles and didnt think they were better in the dry but in the wet I found them a lot better. Watch the air pressure like someone said they dont like being soft! Think I would still go for Continentals...

Cheers Fred, much appreciated. Im off to look at some on Saturday at Extreme in Harlow.

Cheers Fred, any joy with looking at your wheels?

I know that this question has been posed before but Im sure no definitive answer has been given! So this is aimed at MK2 172 drivers who have changed their alloys. Im looking to change my alloys for 7x17" with either 195/40 R17 or 205/40 R17 tyres but am still not sure what the offset is. Im...

Ill let you know in a few days whether the PC9-112 works with the display but I have to agree about the fact it doesnt. Im not bothered as the headunit Im going for is the active panel ones. Geoff

Im thinking of going for either standard 16" alloys, 17" alloys with 40 profile tyres or 18" with 35 profile tyres but dont really want to start messing around with the suspension too much as I think it handles well now!

Ignore the first message as it is .com!

Got them from www.locostcaraudio.com for £52.99 per pair including VAT and 3 day delivery. All I need to get now is some convertors for the connections! Geoff

I have just ordered 4 x Pioneer TS-E1395 after the recommendations from people on this site but now I think I am getting the modding bug! Next question is to anyone who has replaced the standard changer for a Sony 10 Disc. Does it simply fit into the mounts that exsist for the Alpine changer...

Should be thanks Geoff - I have takenm the gallery over from him now!

What speakers have you put in and how much difference have they made?

I take it this is the big yellow one that covers half the steering wheel? If so yes it does fit but NOT over any of the arms on the steering wheel as the thumb grips get in the way. I have one of these and it goes on fine if you turn the steering wheel.

Nick - It would be great if you could put me in touch with somebody that has 3-spokes as I think they look great on all cars!
