RLY? Didnt realise that cheap leather covers made them better?

No, i mean i dont think Renault do spray cans.....

Get it from here http://auto-paint.co.uk/carpaint/ Dont know why people bother with Halfords, also i'm sure Renault dont do rattle cans?

I've said its dear piss, does that count?

Do it! Love em!! Must be a MK2 as said though :) Oh, and keep the Trendlines :)

Hate them!! 197 sounds mint as standard, Renault got it bob on imo. My 172 up had a Ktec stealth fitted when i bought it (two weeks old too) It was off within the week, soooooo w**k! OEM ftw! I actually think the 172 lump sounds ok when pushed, quite gruff when worked, nice note change at 5k too.

Not imo. Longs its a good quality brand, any fully synth should suffice. I've never had no probs. I used to always use Silkoline stuff, but its like piss, not worth it imo.

i think it'll all plug and play. Uses the same Resistors on steves 200, as my 172, so to me that says it uses the same airbag parameters etc. There may be a small mod to the hub of the wheel to the cancel pins, they were longer on the 200 wheel. Nothing a file couldnt sort imo!

I'd keep them White tbh! Looks well

Not too bad, considering how much a 182 one is. I *might* look into it if i get bored of my Sabelt one. The wheel is awesome on the 197. When we offered up that 200 Cup item on my 172 the wheel from the 200 fit inside the 172 one!

+1, you could have a really nice sorted motor for 7-8k without any of the hassle of running a standard NA with a Turbo conversion. Proper can of worms imo. Dont think i've ever seen one on here without some kind of running fault?

You'd be suprised!! http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clioaccessories/

Yes i have. Both 2L Turbos....... Insurance if PROPERLY declared would be the similar i'd have thought. Then you have all those gearbox replacements......;) Least an evo/scoob can take the power, 182's cant if this place is anything to go by.........

Its the safety catch that sticks, not the actual bonnet catch. So this only happens if the bonnet is not shut properly in the first place........

This is why loads of people get p**sed off with their Clios being noisy hard and rattly though. Keep it pretty stock and it *shouldn't* be hard to live with. This is why i always keep the running gear pretty stock. Last thing you want is a droney annoying zorst or cold stripped interior when...

:star:

Exactly, nice evo 5 or something for 6k, done.

2 for the airbag if its a 182.

Thing is, it could be 'comfy cruser' if it hadnt been stripped with rude boy exhausts ;) ............

I *think* the phase 1 172 has bigger exhaust ports. I'm sure someone will confirm this. Iirc, the phase 2 172 and 182 lumps are pretty much the same bar the exhaust set up

Not even with a barge pole. If you want 'turn key' reliability, a 182T is a no no!!! Money pits imo

Yeah, be on her way home, works at the hospital in Telford!

RB?

Not really. You have to mod the phase 1 stalk indicator cancel. You need the cancel pin from your phase 2 stalk, and put it in the phase 1. Not a big job, just a little fiddly. Horn wires up on the two outside metal pins of the phase 1 stalk connector. You need x2 resistors, anything from 3-6...

Hmmmm must have got a good deal then!

Quick shift will hurt the new box by rushing it, so imo not worth doing. Recon box if it was my money. Remember Cup boxes are different to standard 172 boxes, cup units have a speedo (lol) drive

About £40, so no real difference.

Meye!! At the HQ?!

Janspeed. done.

Silver 172 on 182 Cupped rims, looked well! (Malpas high street)
