did you get the diesel or the gutless 1600?

standard clutch is probably the best part of the car lol lasts ages, is cheap and handles power

im assuming ph2 gear is easy enough because they use same dash and electrics as a 1.2, ive just shifted the dci so looking to get this underway in next few weeks!

100 box is fine, apparently it has its issues but so do all renault boxes, it takes a bit getting used to but its good around town, its no jc5 tho!

more interior electrics etc as afaik the ph2 runs a uch and the ph1 does not, but again just the conversion in general can a mk1 172 be used for a full conversion to a 1.2? just so i know what im looking for

petrol clios are s**t on fuel, 2.0 16v is about the best for its size lol, go for the 80, 65mpg+

can a mk1 172 be used for a conversion on a ph2 1.2 while still retaining ph2 dash or should i go for a mk2 172 kit

if you can do the work yourself put a 172 engine in, if you cant, sell the car. if your really good, F4Rt/VAG/4efte starlet lump or something

redline has nothing to do with the engine, the dials in the dynamique go into red the others dont, think your confusing it with the rev limiter? 6250 iirc on all of the 1.2 16vs

must be expression/authentique?

how you work that one out? lol

its still going to accelerate quicker in 5th and 6th though?

my decat sounded awesome on my old one

i had a discussion on it a while back if you search for it

really gutted to see this mate, was a cracker at the RR day! obviously its good to know your ok but again theres no point getting worked up about it, look at it as an excuse to move on, maby a ph2 (mine is for sale ;)) or something completely different! also if you buy it back with intent...

i find this strange too, i found other iceberg 172s nicer looking when i passed them than mine and i could never work out what it was that seemed nicer, even though mine was mint every one looked cleaner and in better nic but then i saw my mate drive mine past me and realised what a cool looking...

only problem decat caused on my car was awesome noise and 188bhp/160lb/ft :D:D no flatspots for me and dont be so lazy its 4 bolts which are piss easy on a 182!!!

my cambelt on mine snapped at 6yrs old and 145k miles (original belt) high millage ones are fine infact i prefer them as you get a good bargain, check for regular service history and the one thing that likely wont be done that i recomend is changing the gearbox oil, coolant and brake fluid as...

they do have a redline. as long as the engine is up to temperature and regularly serviced using the FULL Rev range wont do it any harm what so ever. Cornering hard and braking hard takes its toll on the suspension components and brakes so if driving like this you will want to keep an eye on...

i ran out of diesel after 70 miles on the fuel light on my first DCi, was about 10 meters from the petrol station too

i miss mine too! just hope the R32 GTR is as fun!!

decat!!!!

they are the same and will fit yes, but there is 2 different bolt spacing, 52mm and 58mm, 52mm being used on early lower spec cars most of the time but theres no way to tell without measuring as ive saw 52mm poping up sometimes unexpected!

front brakes on 1.2 - 1.6 16v cars are over rated for the car anyway, dont forget that 260mm setup was used on the 150bhp clio williams back in the day! but to answer your question you will need, hubs, calipers, disks, pads and to fit these you need 2.0 suspension, and ARB lol. there may well...

i had this with my 172, i changed track rods and track rod ends and what a massive difference it made! i also had problems with badly worn tyres causing it and a new set fixed it, hows your front tyres looking?

people seem to be rating vmaxx over fk these days, i had FK but it was Silverline X with Koni dampers i had so bit better than the normal ones. i rated them pretty well for fast road use. you say handlings a must, if so go for 15" wheels not 14". remember to get them properly setup when...

its possible. is it worth doing, hell no!!

they respond well to breathing mods, then hit the brick wall for easy gains, the same with any N/A engine.

while doing cambelt why not consider cams if not already done?

mick dude hows that wee pink dci doing?
