I think they are geared for a maximum of 148. 172's are geared for 144 iirc.

i don't care where it's measured from! As long as I get a measurement!

No worries. Reason I have the pic is that when we did the group buy there were one or two who weren't sure where to put it either. And they had the instructions!

I need someone with the GDI 172 system that is cut into the bumper to do me a massive favour. Could you measure the distance from the left hand edge of the bumper(as you look at it) to the centre of the cut out for me? Reason being is I already have a cutout done by ProSpeed and it will...

Seconded. lol.

The egg shaped flat steel, or blanking plate as it's known fits over the hole where the OEM air feed connected behind the head light to stop warm air passing into the are where the intake is. Don't get that with a Viper ;) Plate goes where arrow points to.

I had mine before you :rasp: Lovely bit of kit... I paid £300 for mine brand new in a group buy. So not that bad a price. Wouldn't bother with it unles you intend to at least get a remap with it.

I bought the missus a Mk3 1.4 Clio..... Even that is slower than her old Mk2 1.2 16v. Much much much better car in every other respect though. Comfort, build, space refinement. And they do handle ok and can be fun, but the self-centre steering is horrid. You get used to it mind,.

Think it was Rich-D's Cup. Although he may have had the rear seats out. Can't remember that well - Was ages ago!

It's 89kg according to renault pal, but I agree with your comments to a certain extent. Although a lot depends on how good an engine you got from the factory imho.

fastest standard Cup 14.5 iirc. fastest standard 172 14.6 But most are around the 15 second mark.

EDIT I hate photobucket!!

Std lens will be ok.... but the 50mm 1.8 is a very fast lens. Excellent in low light. Although what you really want is a Carl Zeiss 50mm f/0.70. lol.

50mm 1.8 are as cheap as chips too. Love my canon one.

In fact... the flash wouldn't even reach the fencers. lol. Would be very very dark. lol

Which with a compact will make his images very sharp and unatural. KDF is right on the megapixels. Won't make the slightest bit of difference. Buy a new camera. lol.

I've had a go against my mates A3 2.0 TDi (140 bhp iirc). they're not slow.

No flash, tiny lens and relatively low artificial light will mean your camera will slow the shutter speed down to expose the picture correctly.

there's one almost identicl to that near me. And it even has a '2.5' sticker on the boot. LOL

It's called delusion.

Fit new pads. Drive gingerly to long straight quiet road. Do as many 80 - 10 mph hard stops until you feel fade. I fitted some greenstuffs and went to bed them in. Withought ABS they would have locked the wheel at about 40 mph no problems. Could hear the tyres chirp and the abs rattle. lol...

Yup. It's a relay. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/relay2.htm Noisy little buggers in Renaults!

You drive one of those silly little smart things... therefore your opinion doesn't really count as it's pretty clear you have no taste whatsoever ;-) How are you finding the build quality on the Clio compared to your Lupo? Now in that department you have taken a good jump backwards!

Depends how you treat them.

Seriously? i'm after one, but need one asap!

I was thinking more along the lines of the ipod actually dude not the compooters. You know me and pooters. lol.:o :o

Typical Apple affair - Looks nice. But doesn't seem to actually do anything spectacular.

My ProSpeed is falling apart. lol. Had the centre section welded up due to incomplete installation after about 5000 miles, now baffles have gone in back box and weld joining rear hanger and backbox has gone.

You should have gone to specsavers.com not 172.com ;)
