i wouldnt bother fiddling to much with them, if it was mine id be looking at EGR removal and a remap, not sure how good the intercoolers are on the 85., if its easy enough to swap the 106 turbo id go for that but not sure if its more complicated being variable geometry as standard just with...

personally id rebuild the top end so you have a nice fresh top end. no need to go changing engines.

good idea id stick the turbo and manifold on your current engine assuming it fits and go about it that way rather than swaping engines, i bet the n/a engine would be fine!

first time ive ever saw a 182 with an exhaust that sits perfect, modified or standard!

i know dude, im just saying all your mates with imprezas are telling you you will spend all your time fixing it, it will be more reliable than their cars! i know from first hand experiance as my mates all drive jap too!

supersprint make an exhaust manifold for it, this with a decat and exhaust system will give a small gain, pannel filter in your airbox, stick a ph1 airbox on it if theres room, biggest gain will come from a remap, but really as above wouldnt bother. could probably use a 1.6 16v K4M bottom end...

will be more reliable than a bloddy impreza anyway lol

something not right with the suspension on that!

A.C.A.B

yeah its a tank! thats what i decided on matey was killing me running my old ph2 172 every day so sold it for the dci 100, ran that for a year, was actually great fun for the year i ran it on its own, then bought the ph1 as a toy, then after 2yrs with the 100 ordered the GT DCi

my 100 used to do 60mpg daily when running 130bhp/190lb/ft, cant remember what that was to a tank but it wasnt much off what my old 65 was!! currently got a DCi 106, its no where near as good on fuel does 50mpg daily driving the same as i drove the 100!

na gearbox is sound, same gearbox used in all mk3 clio non RS cars just takes a few days to get used to, i much prefer it over the JB3 and JC5 used in the 65 and 80/172

na deffo not, 100 is a cracking car

they are awesome cars, 100 is the one to have though!

Year/Model/Mileage: 2003 172 52k Modifications (power related): ITG Pannel Filter Venue: Falkland Performance 172.9bhp 145lb/ft same car same venue a year later, AWT matched inlets, samco bend, ITG Filter, 182 manifold, Decat, K-tec stealth 188bhp 160lb/ft

i cant seem to see how it works without taking the car apart, its making a loud whine, whats the best way to go about it? how do you tension it?

"they call it the scandinavian flick"

good stuff ill order some from MT audio then, mine are hid4u too

put the handbrake on so it doesnt fall closer to the ground, GOOD IDEA BATMAN!

hehe its not been washed or driven since november when the alternator went and my gt arrived, done a bit of cleaning in the engine bay today though around the suspension turrets n stuff. lol had it for over a year now! cheers, should look better when its finished off with a few finishing...

this has been quiet for the last few months just been collecting parts. stripped the inlet manifold off it, re painted it silver along with the fuel rail guaurd and the arm on top of the throttle body, ordered and fitted a brand new ph1 172 Airbox as i had lost the clips for mine and you cant...

anyone having any issues with radio reception with hids on mk3's? cant get a single bit of radio reception on mine, neither can any car within 10 meters of mine, turn them off and it bursts into life

power wont happen, noise then yeah induction kit or exhaust

ph2s appear to be improved over ph1's too!! or atleast in GT / RS Spec

genuinely saw this happening with cheap tyres, i didnt beleive it either until replaced and it suddenly stopped, it was only happening in winter on greezy roads, driving slowly too!

Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread. 16" oz F1s were an optional extra on ph1 172s yes, not many about!

172 will handle terrible on they 172s, if you think its amazing wait till you try it on 15s!! engine management light could be anything really better to get it on a diagnostics machine, is it still pulling smoothly, just slow? no missfires? when was the belts done and where?

i dont care if someone is used to driving a range rover or something else massive and heavy, a small light clio as much as it may not feel as refined its still safe and stable. i had mine atleast a few times a week at 140 odd mph and never once felt unsafe in it then suddenly it felt like it was...

i guarantee it needs rear dampers, been there done that, £90 for 2 genuine renault rear dampers, problem solved. i nearly sold mine after playing about with tracking, new tyres, etc to cure the problem.

at 17 my 172 cost me £650 a month that was fuel payment and insurance. the rest was all on top of that, tax, mot, tyres, servicing etc i made £720 a month at the time!
