phase 1 172. end thread.

LOL! nice car though dude i like them, could do with a bit slammage tho!

haha awesome, i like that, needs to go lower at the rear though

lol screw that, my '72 does more than that!

not worth going any less than 60mm, especialy on 15", 40mm looks hardly any different!!

looks brilliant, get yourself over to www.cliodci.net

must have new wheels for mine lol

initiale is the top spec, better spec than the 182 in many ways! dynamiques also came with rare optional extras such as xenons, colour sat nav, ESP, cruise control, 6 disc changers, cabasse head unit, climate control and electric sunroof. 1.2s are cheap and cheerful but not very good to...

some 15" OZ F1 cups from a mk1 172, 60mm apex springs, dual optic headlights and anything else that takes ur fancy would soon sort it out!

changing the alternator on my 172 this week, so assuming i need a new belt, what about tensioner? just do the full lot?

i paid £2600 3rd party at 18 on my 172, was worth every penny and id do it again.

172 originals are these ones... your thinking of 182 wheels welcome hope you enjoy the car, wont be as quick but will be just as fun and a lot cheaper to run!!

f1s all the way

47 to 57mpg, ill have some of what your smoking, and ill do you a part exchange for my dci?

not really iirc ECU was changed too, of course its possible but in reality not really. as ali said, pre 04 engines are plagued with issues. i blew one up lol

slow and rubbish on fuel it was more popular than the diesel as it was about £1k cheaper when new.

id go 1.5dci wouldnt bother with any petrol non sports

isnt there an issue with 182s having issues on full lock due to 205 width tyres?

weight difference of no engine cover iirc ;)

they are the better choice, noticeable or not who knows, the 172 cup had different dampers too (although looked the same and are interchangeable with a 172) they were slightly stiffer and lower

both look pretty much identical do they not? why tell lol however, after doing quite a few miles in a 1.6 16v they are slow and boring would be ok if they had a decent rev range on them.

shed, colour match on front bumper is off, no trophy decals, fog surrounds look pish as do black wheels, mirrors and door badges and also its got no arch liners.

probably about £1k by the time you change everything!

any angle other than front

he will have rich parents, due to the fact i owned my 172 at 18 paying everything myself and would never have put myself in any situation to crash it due to the fact i was so skint by owning it knowing fine well if i crashed it there was no chance of me owning another fast car for a few years

oz f1's in black and standard rear lights and that will look good assuming the actal paint job is decent!

hero car... get it mapped :D

GW GT mmmmmm

so its faled and jammed in such a way that the engine doesnt have enough torque to rotate the rear wheels but your going to get the rear drum off by hand? lol

clean the throttle body just done this to cure a 1.6 16v vvt that was cutting out when cold its a free fix so worth trying before paying for any diagnostics
