dynamique DCi 80 or if you can find one in your budget a Dynamique DCi 100 plenty about with climate and xenons.
1.6 16v's are ok, but they are s**t on fuel! we struggle to get high 30mpgs out our one and my mrs drives like miss daisy! she was getting mid 60s in the dci 100
gearbox issues are blown out the water, nothing wrong with them. if you drive like a spazzy it will probably break quicker than some other cars will, ive done 100k hard miles in 172s and never had a gearbox issue, infact never had an issue with the cars full stop.
it can be done quite cheap all you need is the Alternator and alternator bracket from a 172 cup along with the 172 cup aux belt.
wests sell a kit with everything needed, all brand new genuine renault too...
its one of they things, it might snap, it might not!, chances are it probably wont, however theres no way of telling! id probably tow it there as a precaution and ask them to push it into the workshop lol
screw how long the shocks last, its the spring coming out and getting wedged between the wheel and arch and wripping the tyre to shreds id be worried about or more so it coming out and getting wedged in the poor bugger behind you's intercooler or radiator
you lot are bonkers, i dont want to point out the obvious but whats going to happen to the rear springs when you go over a small hump on the road? or am i missing something?
ebc greenstuff are ok if the standard pads already fill your needs but you want hardly any dust, i run them all round on my runabouts to save my wheels.
would never use them for proper driving though, tried that on my old ph2 and nearly died a few times
k-tec stealth for me, had 1 on each of my 172s, dont get the unsilenced one though they are a bit too loud!, silenced one is perfect you can still hear engine noise heres my 2...
decatted...
with cat in place

cheers, interior is standard other than a retrim of the wheel from the guy on here that does them and a Cabasse head unit from a 182, Dynamique/RS silver interior handles and the interior grab handles resprayed iceberg silver
since you asked!...
Only thing that lets it down is the drivers mat is a bit tatty, if anyone has an imaculate one i will buy them a brand new set of RS mats for their ph1 set as you can no longer buy the blue ones brand new
