i bought the Dynamique interior from you back in the day for my old 1.2 16v, was mint condition hardly used i always remember that, was when people had just started putting 172 interiors into dynamiques and as usual me being me wanted to be different lol

lol

id avoid them like the plague, yes some dealers are better than otheres but the pipework and boxes they use to start with are terrible. my mate got one on his 172 at motorsport world and the exhaust its self was solid and well made but the tailpipe had gone brown with rust after about 5/6...

ive had 2 so far the first as a cheap runabout for winter when my 172 was having a few bits done, 155,000 miles, 2001 51 plate, no service history, hammered all winter from cold, handbrake turns in the snow and ended up in a ditch, sorted it, pilled another load of miles on it, and it was bullet...

i laugh at people in prius's as i fly past on the motorway at 70mpg in the dci 100 riding the torque wave lol however you are being offered a 23k car for free lol sell the R and you can always buy another or a cheap hot hatch to have fun with i havnt driven my 172 in months and drive the...

Good old K4M lol

you get good ones and bad ones my 172 made 173bhp when standard lol

got compbrake top mounts the other day, what size C spanner do i need to tighten them up?

they stripes are terrible

something wrong with yours if its spinning the insidewheel in 3rd exiting corners, i can put 160lb/ft thru the front wheels no problem in 2nd gear

pumps are ok on all engines apart from the 1.2 16v in my experiance, id leave it unless its on silly millage (well over 100k) or been run on horrible coolant or just water as the coolant lubes the pump.

using non genuine parts which are fine you can get the belt kit and pump for £100, id want 2hrs labour max for that so your talking £200 for the belt change max

id be questioning that, genuine parts cost more than that never mind labour, even using gates parts thats not leaving much for labour. for a 5 hour + job plus i doubt the aux belt has been done for that, which if snaps will take your cambelt with it! EDIT: i just read what you posted and...

what you changing oil pump for?! lol if you ment water pump which you should 100% change with cambelt then i wouldnt be paying anymore than £250 for the lot inc parts and labour infact id probably expect the drop links done for that or just a bit more! their bloddy harder than the cambelt lol...

the patern part ones are terrible and restrictive that you will get from kwik fit etc, if you want standard go for a genuine, if not then go for a ktec

i think they are awesome, specially yours mate! girly sceme for girly car haha only kidding

kevin from falkland is a top bloke, was him thats took both RR days for the club and hes always been very helpful

bet you £100 its the rear dampers, been there done that, mega cheap from renault anyway

no one in stirling trys it on with me anymore :(

standard 15s are the best looking wheels you can put on them it just needs a set of 195/45/15 tyres on it with the wheels cleaned up and a set of 10mm spacers. its too low though, i must be getting old but my old car was that low and they handle terrible on the road lol

heres a few videos of mine... inside 60-140mph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccstsn0VIm0 from outside http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_7rnDD4ucY&feature=related

welcome to the club mate, only exhaust id use on them is the K-Tec Stealth, i got big gains, awesome sound, and looks fantastic (when you look up the back of the bumper ;) ) they look best with no tailpipe showing!

lol think i know the blue one your talking about i smashed the granny out it down the dual carriageway in the mrs 1.6 16v dynamique if its the same one lol

keep the steelys to be different, keep them cleaned up powder coat them or something!

dci100 runs similar box to 197 i beleive, but also has a different bottom end to a dci80/65. your best bet would be dci100 bottom end with dci106 6speed box

should have punched power ranger cop in balls and drove away, if they appear at your house then they can read your plates so shouldnt have been stopped in the first place

bet it doesnt need a rack bet its inner track rods and track rod ends that need done, mine felt fucked when they needed done

ek9 handled awesome, wasnt quite as quick as the clio but an awesome drive, its since been sold!

also forgot to add the wheels are off and booked in for a refurb ready to be fitted to a set of 16" Toyo R888's!

this has been quiet for a few months now! anyway heres what it was looking like when i took it back off the road for more work which im just starting.... The car was RR'd at the Scottish RR Day @ Falkland Performance in Glenrothes at 188bhp and 160lb/ft of torque which being the highest...
