get a 1.5 dci, insurance will be about the same as the 1.2 but it will get twice the mpg and just as powerfull, plus more torque makes it much better than a torqueless 1.2!
thats what i done on my 172 at 18, just went 3rd party fire n theft as if i crashed it i wasnt up for claiming and screwing my chances of faster cars for the next 5 years!
sorry to hear about it mate
im a manager in somerfield and both my 172 and another managers 182 have both been keyed in the last 6 months along with tyres slashed and people running up peoples bonnets and over the roof etc
why not?
i know my old 1.2 16v would out handle and out brake my 172 no problem! it was a brilliant laugh to drive just lacked straight line speed. and down a twisty backroad would have been just as fast
back to the question....
my old 1.2 16v was RR'd at just under 85bhp with cat back...
threw the old one in the bin last week lol!
apparently renault got a dodgey batch that were 2" too small or something the parts dept said, so thats why they cant get me one! dont know how true that is?
power wise you wont gain much, put it will improve driveability and as far as im led to beleive from people who have the RStuner, a good low down torque gain
anyone know the length of the off side handbrake cable on a 172?
ive had 2 now from renault and both have been 2 short, so got 1 from a motor factors today and would rather find out if its 2 short before i try to fit it, this ones 136cm long and i forgot to measure the renault ones before i...
i only pay £1200 on my 172 at 19 in my own name with 1years ncb fully comp, it will cost you twice that to do a decent replica so its worth a thought....
just walk into the workshop and ask one of the mechanics if they want a homer, thats what i done and got my cambelt done for £200 + parts
also got the book stamped for me
it expands much more than my old twin 3" powerflow on my 1.2, but apart from that its mint! best sounding exhaust ive heard, really sporty and not loud
yes mate i like the race car look
of course its not ment to sit so low its not in the rear hanger in the pics, they were taken during fitting!
this is it now...
