I have a 172 and want ideas on whats the best exhaust for me, i want one thats not too noisy but still has a decent "growl" to it? Also, any thoughts on the best induction kit for the 172? ta folks!!

group 16, i got a X reg 2000 with 17500 on the clock, from a used dealer for 9 grand, my insurance is about 1265 with greenlight, 21 years old, 1 years NCD, no points or convictions,

try greenlight mate, i cant remember the number though, its on a previous post of mine, titled "how good are greenlight" though

good point, i want to mod the engine though!

Just got quoted 1265 for MK1 172 for 21 year old, 1 years NCB and no convictions or claims, pretty good dont you think? Better than Directline, 1400 with no mods allowed, scum!

if you can afford it, go for the full system, if you intend on chopping and changing, just get a backbox

best advice for you mate is prob go get a new 1.2 16v i think you would probably get free insurance off renault for that, tootle about it in that for a year or 2 then get a quicker car. If you do bump it, there will always be second hand parts for it. Thats what i did, drove a 1.2 extreme for...

Silver MK1 172, as the wheels were pretty kerbed when i bought the car, been thinking of refurbishing them and getting painted like a gun metal grey, any thoughts on that?

ive got a powerflow backbox which im selling and thats not too loud, still has a nice growl to it though

im selling a powerflow backbox if youre interested

sounds like a moving part mate, timing belt? i dont rightly know :confused:

I have an 2000 172 and a squeaky rattly noise has been coming from the drivers side of the engine bay. Its been getting progessively louder and i can now hear it from inside whilst sitting at junctions/at idle etc, even over the exhaust note! Any thoughts please on what it is, what needs to be...

im selling a powerflow backbox if youre interested?

too late now mate, i wish i hadnt now, so much aggravation like :p

i chose to get a mk1 over a mk2 cos i preferred the looks and the performance is marginally better, only thing i like about the mk2 are the xenons. They are the dogs, but each to their own i guess

the indy dealer is an independant used cars garage called saline motors near dunfermline, not a franchised renault garage, i bought the car of saline motors a month ago and since i got it have had problems. however any work that has been carried out has been under the 3 month warranty i got...

dont matter, im going to renault myself, going to buy standard backbox off them for £109+VAT and am going to fit it myself and then sell the powerflow backbox for the the amount that i paid renault, does that make sense?

it was an indy dealer that fitted the backbox, the same dealer i bought the car from and the same dealer who i have a 3 month warranty with as i only bought the car a month ago

I need some help. Does anyone here work for a Renault dealer in Scotland and is willing to do me a huge favour? Thing is, i got my exhaust fitted under my indy dealers warranty, but they couldnt get a standard renault backbox so they fitted a powerflow one. Now, directline wont insure me...

i live in west lothian mate, you?

well, bought the lower miler one, only had 17k on the clock, not too bad like, apart from the bloody exhaust!!!

the tailpipes look really tacky, trying to be V6-ey, but failing miserably

hey, i was just wanting some thoughts, the sales people were fine, i was just wondering where i stood with the warranty, garage, exhaust etc, but thanks for the replies. Im getting a stainless steel back box fitted on monday fitted from saline (beside oakley) on Monday, but starting to get a...

2 weeks after getting my X reg 172, the exhaust snapped between the back box and the centre section, i called them up and the garage explained the exhaust wasnt included in the 3 month warranty that came with the car but he would fix it anyway and put it through the warranty as something that...

chipsaway, go to their site, there you can find out who is your local operator and they give you a mobile to call him on when you register

Im quite keen on the twin pipe on the MK1 actually although it does look pretty cool on yours mate, the Magnex is about £330.00 with BB without including cliosport or RSC discount, strange......

Alright all, exhaust on 2000 172 has just snapped, any recommendations on a performance replacement? BB tuning, K-tec or Magnex? Any thoughts welcome

payment from dealer to RFS went throught the very same day that RFS were due to take the money out of my account! hows that for bad timing?

I just traded in my 52 plate Clio Dynamique for a X reg 172 at a independant dealer, and i paid the settlement figure off on the Clio (about £1600,) would the indy dealer have paid off the car to RFS(who i had the finance with for the Dynamique) so i would not have to do anything, because i was...
