mate wants me to make him up an air filter relocation to the battery for his 1.2 16v its a 2005 so newer style engine, im ordering up the bits and pieces the now just need to know the diameter of the TB so i can order a silicon bend for it :) cheers

honestly mate you should, ive just had my 100 remaped yesterday and its bloddy brilliant!

hmm im not sure about them! think the wide wings make it need 17s strange considering its the same size as a mk2 clio

to convert a diesel to a petrol is really not worth it with the ammount of work required, thats before we get to the fact its a better engine your removing!! now, for MUCH less hastle and money you could buy the dci65 van, use a set of dci 80/100 (same on both) injectors, DCi 100 Turbo, DCi...

its a pretty common fault too so trying to find one in a scrappys is a b*****d so your as well just buying a new one!

i thought cups didnt come with auto wipers?

hi keith, msn me if you need any help with it. whats the millage on it and when was it serviced? not using the proper NGK plugs in it can cause all sorts of problems with these cars, the genuine recomended renault plugs are around £15 per plug from renault and i beleive they are around 72k...

lol there is 4 things on that list that you shouldnt have to do on a car of that age and funny enough only one of them is due to it being a renault!

have you ever used R888's on the road? what car? ive found them better than any tyre ive tried on the road (ive never used them on track however) but in 195/15" i found the grip phenominal. as for brakes yes agreed improved pedal feel is nice but again as is the extra power of matched inlets...

i will live in spain one day!! they are big fans of DCi Clios over there!! car looks nice mate, looks in very good condition thanks to the better weather!

yep only engine mod id do if i was going for it again, possibly matched inlets again as i got a good gain from them but once you start you cant stop so on a budget if i was to get another as a bit of cheap fun the 182 manifold is the only mod id do. i gained 18bhp and 15lb/ft of torque from ITG...

i wouldnt do 10 mods if i was to buy another 172 but this is how my list would go 1. 182 manifold 2. k-tec decat/link pipe 3. remap 4. eibach sportlines 5. Toyo R888's no need for uprated brakes on the road when running standard/ish power, genuine brakes and regular fluid is fine, standard...

dci baby!!!!

yeah deffo i got a nice gain from my AWT ones

why did i not think of that, i wouldnt have got vpower in my eye if id have thought of that!!

remember make sure there is no boost leaks other than the one you have found i knew a guy in a simmilar situation found a boost leak, sorted it and was still not holding boost so bought a new turbo and gave it to me to fit and i found boost leak 2!! lol

182 manifold and decat (big gains dont listen to the haters who dont have the knowledge to fit one so slate it as not worth it ;)) matched inlets itg filter ktec stealth thats where the gains are, tried and tested ;)

as said above their are batches that didnt have it but most of them come from the factory like that. i would agree there is power to be had from removing the dent, if you would notice the gain or not however is debatable!

looks awesome a 182 manifold would finish that off nicely!!

comeback of the century for me haha :star:

when the clutch is engaged in the lower gear the revs will then be at 6k is what i ment, not dropping a gear when your already at 6k lol

running costs wont be much/any more than your 1.4 16v. i got 20 miles less to a tank of vpower in my 172 than i got from my old 1.2 dynamique driving both hard. as uve said insurance isnt that much more for you, yearly service isnt that much, plugs are expensive but are something like 72k or...

looks good i like the wheels, really needs a set of front fog lights, personally id have gone for anthracite badges too to match the wheels. sidelights are gash as f**k and need to go asap! a set of they phillips bluevision bulbs you get free from powerbulbs with any order would make a massive...

erm because dropping a gear and lifting your clutch @ 6k revs isnt going to do your clutch any favours..... rev matching is much better for the clutch

i like the red Sport badge on the rear, why has no one here thought of that!

i sold my 172 a few months back and have a dci 100 clio to run about in untill i get something else quick, but even when i do get something else ill be keeping the 100 to use daily. honestly dont regret it one bit, can have just as much fun in this car with less than half the running costs and...

agreed and why the 1.6 got a power hike over the standard dyn S 1.6 but the dci didnt i dont know. a 1.5 dci 120 would have been a nice one and sold much better, or even if they had used the 1.9 130 lump! i dont doubt the 106 is a warm hatch with that 6 speed and all that torque but its never...

remove the filter from the airbox lol, super unleaded, octane booster! (this isnt why my old car ran big power as standard, it was just a natural!!)
