ive not driven both but ive driven my standard 172 and then driven my otherwise standard 172 with a 182 manifold and decat fitted and was a big difference in mid range torque, and imo mid range torque is what makes a car fast in day to day driving, instead of having to drop to 2nd gear you just...

just drive it to the scottish RR day everyone in this country gets away with everything anyway so you'll just get a slap on the wrist!! - thats a joke dont actually do it! lol anyway back to the questions, as you know with these cars it could be making any power depends what it starts with...

but why wud the glow plug be having a fault under braking is what confuses me?!

ive done some basic stripping, spare wheel, toolkit, isofix bar, sound deadning here and there but nothing majour, all bits that are hidden so the car looks fairly standard! but to be honest i cant see it affecting it to much. also keeping in mind the wheels save a bit of weight on the cup and...

its done them all on 3 tanks of diesel too!!! ^ lol

hi guys and girls, got a wee issue with the dci, every time i brake i get the light under the fuel light (sorry dont know what its called!) poping on then when i come off the brakes it goes off, if i come straight off the brakes and onto the accelerator the light doesnt go off untill i come off...

yeah common fault its the wiring under the passengers seat give it a wiggle and it goes off! hope your enjoying it and welcome to cliosport :)

pmsl thats the attitude ive got with the dci, i washed it in december after wales rally WRC and its never been washed since! this wee beastie coming to the RR day i hope!!

ive never done a RS one but done my old 1.2 one with the handle for my trolley jack and a hammer. give it a go see if its as easy!

yeah fukin group buy on big injectors!!!!

i changed mine on my 172 @ 5yrs and 35k miles for brand new 172 cup dampers all round, new bottom arms with bushes and changed the ARB bushes and track rod ends. probably cost a tiny bit more than a set of aftermarket dampers but made a massive difference. they were designed to handle well as...

this thread is making me itchy lol i love my wee dci! even after hammering the 172 about i can still jump in and not think oh my god this is slow!

im having a bit of bother understanding that ^^ 185bhp @ 2250rpm!?

anyone know of anyone that makes lower subframes for the standard 172 seats or anyone think of any ideas to make some up? had a shot of a mates civic tonight and felt like driving a van when i got back in! i like oem seats though so fancy some lower subframes!

only type R honda's ive driven have been a B16 and a B18 civic and imo i find vtec a bit boring, its awesome fun to begin with but you get fed up having to hammer the nuts off it everywhere so id be looking for something with a bit more mid range torque so would be the megane F1 for me or...

my 172 didnt feel that quick untill it had the 182 manifold and decat, makes a big difference imo

to be honest both are slow but ive had a 1.2 16v and mum still has one and i couldnt live with one anymore it would kill me but i can live with my 65 no problem due to the torque. cross country the dci's are quick cars, efortless acceleration in any gear!

mine leaked for about a year before the pump went taking the belt. BUT as far as i know as fred says it leaks thru the bearing and I THINK but not 100% sure that the coolant helps to lubricate the pump, but i was using tap water as i was fed up buying coolant for the thing! so thats possibly...

yeah most mates have imprezas, evos, theres an RX7, a skyline and a few type R hondas, clio costs half as much to run and just as fun! well nearly! hehe

i had the k-tec patern part one on my car but it was blowing, got the genuine renault one for £45 and its been fine since! easy to change over too

100% waterpump, they MUST be changed when the belt is done. i didnt do mine the first time, it eventually seazed taking the cambelt and engine with it! lol

cheers mike your a star. ouch need o/s liner as it decided it wanted to come out at 145mph lol was gonna replace other 1 while i was at it since im a clean freak but ill just do the one! lol was gonna do under tray as the foam stuff on inside is in a state but f**k that at that price haha no...

put it this way, i bought my 172 2 years ago for £7200 (was very high price even at that time) but worth it due to low millage and warranty etc. then i paid £2500 3rd party to insure it at 18. never looked back since, i love it, best car ive ever owned, i can now afford to insure much faster...

ive owned both and can tell you dci 65 is quicker than a 1.2 16v mega cheap tax @ £35 a year 60mpg+ loads more torque than a 1.2 makes it bareable around town, i cant stand 1.2s i feel i need to be in 2nd gear everywhere to get anywhere.

na no 4 pots or coilovers yet i ran short of cash when i bumped dci in the snow so im running a bit behind on my plans lol was hoping to get the k-tec ITB kit for it but may have to wait to next year, or may just leave it as it is dunno yet

some had them funny enough, not sure why, dont know if it was an option or if its only certain engine configs usually 1.4's or dci expressions i see with fogs but they did make some!

well we just got this running, insured and taxed tonight and got it out a quick blast, its got a blue cup spoiler and back and white rear bumper on it so didnt want to take it to far looking like a tit, but its going into the bodyshop this week for paint! but anyway.... all i can say is what a...

lol wish my mum had a car like that, mine thinks mine is "FAR TOO FAST" and shes only drove it to the shop and back not getting above quarter throttle, 25mph or 2k rpm haha

i am proud to have fitted the suspension to that car when i see how low it sits! lol
