I believe you. I'm considering swapping my F4R for a Dci 100 engine.......

Spot on. I had 205/45/16's on my 172 and didn't get on with them. I thought they lasted brilliantly myself, but there you go! As previously said, I found them shite in the wet and that they didn't perform well in the dry until fully warmed up.

It's not 15 minutes on the 172....

Oh and in my experience when some tells you the speed they were travelling when they crashed you can nearly always add 20mph to it.

They're designed to collapse to absorb the impact to protect the driver. The front end will crumple. It's why they have a class leading crash rating.

Come on. Make an effort. If you had typed 'prospeed exhaust' into google you'd have found your answer without wasting any of CS's bandwidth.

Knowsit^ Completely cuntish imho

There's always one ^

Just in case you missed it the fourth time you have a Renault Clio Renaultsport 172 ph1. lol Or ph-ugly as they are also known. ;-)

As gaz, my fellow Maxogen/GroupN evangelist says, the remap will improve the low down grunt. I thought my 172 was broken when I went back to the standard ECU. lol.

I would say the Golf with the DSG.... Although not if Weeman is driving ;)

Strange choice - Different type of car, different budget. Out of those two, the Meggy R26. Everytime. lol

Unless you intened to get other mods such as remap and decat I wouldn't bother with an induction kit. They provide very little in isolation, but are worthwhile if you are modding the engine breathing as a whole.

V6 spoiler and shorter boot struts (which sets the boot just about head height when it's open lol)

My girlfrind had a Mk2 1.2 16v before her Mk3 1.4 16v and the mk2 was waaaay more fun to drive and felt far nippier. Clio 1.2's are ace little motors for what they are! (a 1.15!)

124bhp @ the wheels is way too low. I would say that a healthy 182 would be nearer 145 bhp atw.

You'll be lucky.... Most places charge a minimum of an hours labour charge.... probs £45 odd. I'm going to tig my Pro-Speed back together and add in a few design changes to improve it. Only to sell it on mind. lol. Stainless will re-weld fine.

Turinis were 2004 for the pioneers! ;-) loving the new badge, but can't help feeling it looks odd with the old style Clio badges....

LOL Why not.... I might just pull my back box off actually. lol.

Re-welded the centre section (and made a rough looking job myself lol but it worked) then welded two more bracing pieces on the top of the pipe. When they had welded the bottom two it had obviously pulled slightly and was putting the weld around the centre section ends and the welds where the...

Yup. The OE cat on the 182 is 200 cell anyway! (400 on 172 iirc)

Looks lovely. But don't be disapointed if you've gained little or nothing. The OE exhaust is actually pretty efficient by all accounts.

As did Gaz's... and mine.... bit like this?

Yes but the extra 55kg might have something to do with that! Worst thing about Ph1 for me when I test drove one was 1. Suspension seemed soft 2. Gearing is stupidly long 3. Dumb looking front end and lack of Xenons Performance wise it felt nippier than my Ph2, but the Ph2 was a nicer...

I'm on Sky - No problems whatsover. I'm on the £5/8Mb/40Gb month package. Suits me just fine - Download at a steady 850-900 Kb/s.

Ooh a standard 182. In a lay-by. In the countryside. Would it be fair to say pictures like these and Cliosport are not mtually exclusive? Its like f**king groundhog day on this forum!

Yes it is. It's a piece of piss. The only hard part is having to get under the car - Which is made ten times easier when you have it up on ramps. If only the 172 cat was so simple :-(

The major thing in making this an easy job is having access to a ramp/pit. Which most people don't have. lol.

Au contraire. I had an RS inlet on my 2003 172 (first build after the Autumn shutdown) delivered in Nov 2003. b******s already new about the 182 but still sold me a 172. The s**t bags. lol.
