the wee bargain dci is running brilliant apart from one little problem, its dropping off boost at 3k revs, you hear the turbo dropping off and the car stops pulling then at around 3.3/3.4k revs you hear it spooling up again. had the EGR valve off it yesterday which was covered in soot! gave it...

exhaust or inlet? ive done both

im £1100 fully comp at 19 with admiral on my 172

i had my 172 doing 130 on the testdrive lol, guy let me take it out myself too at 18!!!

Ordering Buckets and harnesses for the 172 on thursday, need some ideas on what to go for?! so lets see your pics! id prefer black ones to be honest dont want them to stick out to much, and none of these gay recliners either! lol

fuel gage went down to the red line today ( in the 172 this means 30 or so miles left, petrol light coming on any second) checked the computer to see how many miles i had left, 160 lol)

yeah dynamique imo is the only one to go for, extremes are similar but not as good, expression and authentique not worth looking at unless the price is really low. 1.2 16v is more dci65 pace, id say the dci80 is more 1.4 16v pace, probably keep up ok with a 1.6 16v

i changed the cable in my old 1.2 16v and it made a big difference, the cable i got (genuine renault) was different design from the 1 that was on it (original genuine one), seemed to have a big weight on the end of it, dont know if it was to help with the weight but it made a difference, old one...

ive only ever done a 1.2 16v but the cable and route is similar iirc, i done it with the engine out which was really easy (as the engine was out anyway, i didnt take it out for the job lol) but i can imagine space will be your main problem, trying to get to it, but like i said ive never done on...

old filter is black so even going for a brand new renault filter id probably notice a difference lol, but yeah see how it goes. cleaned the egr valve this morning and still no change, still dropping off boost at 3k revs then spooling up again at about 3.3k revs :S hope it doesnt need a turbo...

yeah its an awesome little bus, might map it just for some extra power but doesnt really need it as its just for about town. the money im saving is brilliant, but i miss the 172, cant wait till feburary/march to get it back on the road :D

but it will still fail an emmisions test in most cases

I said that lol, the money saving made me go for it and im so glad i did lol thing does abot 700 miles to a tank of diesel! lol if its for your sister whos 17 why not look at a dci65? the dci80 will be more expensive to insure

depends what you want, dci 80 is rarer so 65's go cheaper thats why i got one because i didnt want to spend over 2k. 8v doesnt matter, theres no need for them to be 16v

DCi 65 Dynamique, see my post about mine

haha aye there not quite eagle F1s but the cars just a runaround and all 4 tyres have loads of tread left so there staying for now! lol cleaning the egr valve tomorrow, got a K&N pannel filter for it and going in tomorrow for oil and filter for it, anyone recommend some decent oil for it? ive...

well thats me had the DCi65 for 2 days now so thought id give my opinion on the car. the car its self is a red 1.5dci 65, 140k miles, bit scruffy on the outside, imaculate inside, drives awesome for the millage, anyway.... the car is a complete hoot to drive, yes its slow especially coming...

197 has the cat built into the manifold, so surely 182 manifold will be better for power even if it does fit

2 exhaust clamps and 1 rear hanger and thats all it involoves apart from cutting the bumper

uve missed half the dirt behind the clio badge, poor attempt boyo!!

cool guys, couple of my mates are looking at getting a lockup for the cars over winter so might be able to chip in for something like that, although i dont like leaving it anywhere but my driveway where i know where it is lol

U fancy building it? Lol

see my mates RX-7 shooting flames? lol JockClio he used to be on here with a mk1 172

not a problem, mate im off for 2 weeks starting on the 22nd of this month but could probably fit in a day off before that if something suited you got msn?

yeah mate no problem coilovers only take an hour really, if its foxys old ones you'll get it lower than my old 1 hehe if hes sold them as the custom setup he got? only thing u'll need to get done is the tracking and alignment i cant do that lol

coilovers arnt a problem for me to do if you want

hi guys, 172 is staying off the road for the next 4 or 5 months (ill be doing a lot to it during this time!) all im wondering is what i should do to protect it? it will have a nice couple of coats of wax to protect from the elements and ill be able to take it the odd run around my private land...

thats a bit steep for 3rd party is it not? im insuring the dci fully comp in my name for just under £400 with 1yrs ncb

cheers for all the comments, up close its a bit rough but nothing a wee trip to my mate at the bodyshop wont sort :) 172 is going in there too next month for a full front end respray :) guy is awesome!
