he's getting a ph2 isnt he?!

will it not improve the handling, ie be stiffer for the body? thanks for the reply edde. len i remember pm'ing somone on here about them on their car and they said the handling was much improved and the car sat slightly lower but i thought i'd get a general view on it. plus the 1.6 has a...

bump?

i worked that one out, but as asked what are the effects on the car if they are fitted?

why? only asking because i can get some for free so just wondered about them?

do you knwo if they are lower than the standard ones? will it amke the handling better or will the difference in spring rates make it worse?

will the standard 172 springs fit on my 1.2 16v?! i know the poundage rates will be different but will they phsically fit in the shocks and on the rear beam? are they lower than the 1.2's?

i can fit a 2.0 engine in it for you mate...?!

i sold a set that i had sanded and fillered up completely and just needed painting for £100. but then i also sold a set i refurbed myself and sprayed in anthracite for £230. both without tyres. you'll be hard pushed to find some with decent tyres i think, most people just have them kicking...

a lot of people get a ported inlet to improve the airflow yes mate, makes a fair difference apparently. will a lightened flywhell not make it harder to drive in traffic?i dont know much about doing that?

i'll let you off then! can't believe so many people fell for it, i thought it would just be deleted!

nice ovlov! you should get yourself on trampdrift if your not already mate, they'll love the car! what engine is in it, i knoe the standard 1.4 is it? is actually pretty fast! i know a lad who had one racing a non turbo supra, the boxier shape and stayed with him to about 50!

nah just that one mate, i took it to send to my mate as a joke and thought i'd bang it up on here!

lol, sorry to all the people i tricked, was funny though!

nah its my mates for his 172, but when we picked it up the boot was full of other parts so i chucked it in mine and remembered when i was cleaning it today! i thought you had clicked on medici and was being sarcastic!

lol, i aim to please mate! i though superfasrtdan would have noticed, he does work at renault....:rasp:

:eek: yeah its taken 17 minutes for someone to catch on...!

look closer mate...

lol i'm only 18! was surprised that it just 'dropped' in

well it cost me about £650 for the engine and loom, but its a low miler, if you source your own engine then i'd charge you just for the labour to fit it. took me about 2.5 hours start to finish so call it £50 fitted, that ok?

its gas flowed by GDI aswell so must be about 176bhp, torque in 5th is good too!

well finally got round to doing this job this morning, was a bit harder than i though but once it was sitting straight job was a good 'un. what you think, just a quick work in progress photo? http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m196/cliopeps/14072007026.jpg power increase is immense, i need...

i did the same as deb, been fine for over 6 months! i never bothered with a primer or anythign like that and it looks fine, just did them black to make it look subtle though, i reckon with a brighter colour you probably need more prep.

without i think

edde, that says 676 pearlescent black is an RS only colour, my dynamique is pearl black 676?

buy the 203bhp one for sale on here! if it wasnt for the dash i'd consider one next year, i just cant stand it"

why are your lights on?! will look good lowered, looks really high at the back for some reason, front looks a nice height.
