ive got sportlines on mine with brand new 172 cup dampers all round, it handles spot on! perfect match for the standard dampers. ride isnt really any harsher, bodyroll is reduced, turn in is much shaper, it has more grip, more stable under braking and cornering and feels more planted at high...

I had a K4M (1.6 16v) engine and gearbox for my old 1.2 16v when i blew it up, but its the same hastle as a 172 conversion and i needed the car back on the road ASAP so i went for another 1.2 16v lump. if your spending the cash and going through the hastle your better doing a 2.0 16v...

you smashed f**k out the airbox?! what happens if you need to go in for engine related warranty work?

my old one....

down a backroad if you keep the revs up the 182 wont be much faster than the 1.6 id imagine as my modded 1.2 16v used to keep up fine on the cliosport meets untill we got to a straight then it was a different story!

dont go from a dci to a 1.2 16v! your mapped dci probably has more torque than my 172 and when i go from the 172 to my 1.2 16v when the 172s off the road the lack of torque kills me!

looks like it doesnt have a plastic inlet manifold! someone told me it did, bit more hope for more boost then! get a FMIC on it and replace the plastic boost hoses then map it

cars nice wheels really suit it but as said really needs spacers. grill is horrible imo might be ok painted black though

where about in scotland are you? you'll need to bring it along to a meet :)

i was lowered about -85mm on 16" with no problems so id say -70mm would be fine

i found apex -40mm springs was actually a decent ride compaired to my -60mm kit i had at the time

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 looks nice mate well worth the money, my old 2002 1.2 16v only needed a coil pack and a clutch in 140k miles! £60 or so each! £120 in parts in 140k miles (obviously not including servicing parts and brakes) but one thing i would say when you were talking...

think it was with admiral who also insured me on my 172 at 18! a bit more than £900 tho! lol

you shouldnt be to bad if you shop about at 17 i was £900 on my 1.2 16v slammed 90mm with exhaust in my own name

angel eyes look w**k dont get them, get xenons from an RS nice colour could be doing with clear repeaters as said, only get the genuine renault ones tho plenty at the scrappys as the others ive found are crap and let water in! other than that its tidy, like the grill it suits it, id go lower...

they wheels really suit it, exhaust is tidy too, dont like the red drums but thats personal preference, nice car :)

changing the cambelt isnt a problem ive done loads on the D4F its just because this is under warranty, only problem being because its one of our driving school cars we cant afford it to be off the road for more than half a day so really it needs to go in, get something changed and if it doesnt...

screwdriver test ive already done and no further ahead still cant pin point it! :S cambelt too tight is kinda what it sounds like but surely it would have been like that from day one its less than a year old? and the thing that confuses me is the fact the second time it went in, to get a new...

ass edde says just get a haynes manual cheap from ebay, its piss easy on the 1.2 16v, well ive only ever done it when engines removed right enough but theres plenty room on the 1.2

Hi guys, got a mk3 1.2 16v expression with 35k on the clock 2007 07 plate thats making a stupid whine noise, it started about 2 months ago and got louder and louder so i took it into renault under warranty (the joys!) they said it needed an alternator belt?! so they changed it and it didnt fix...

yeah their 15"

could someone slam this for me please? coilover style about -70mm please :) its a mates car hes thinking about lowering it. cheers

i spent thousands on a 1.2 16v before eventually buying a 172. honestly, i dont regret it one bit was a brilliant car! go for it. im doing a turbo conversion for a mates 1.2 16v in the next couple of months! hes not sure if hes going to source the bits from a TCE or go custom. tbh i wouldnt...

no no, i wont be driving it without an MOT, was just curious if i could use it for work today or not, its now parked down the bottom of the drive way untill my handbrake cables come :(

1.6mm around 3/4 of the tyre and 1.6mm around the complete outer rim i think?

it wont pass both handbrake cables have snapped and been on back order from renault for 3 weeks now! got one side just not the other, and they keep saying it should be here soon! but atleast i can use it for work today and im off friday satarday so i can try and sort it out!

yes i know that but i mean does my MOT expire at 12 oclock tonight or has it already expired at 12oclock thismorning lol edit: woops ment the 8th lol!

hi guys, my MOT Expires today (8th) does that mean i can drive the car today but not tomorrow or starting from today i cant drive the car? cheers
