kinda in between falkirk and stirling mate, not had the 172 at a meet yet, need to get it along to one soon. had the old 1.2 at a couple!

cheers mate, not got much money to spend on it being only 18 with the price of running it! so far its got the sportlines, cup splitter, civic type R ariel, osram diadem indicator bulbs up front, standard uk plates from fancy plates.co.uk (look much cleaner stuck on rather than the screwed on...

dont talk filth!!!! yeah thats the one john lights have been changed tho!? cant see their been 2 identical? maby tho u know what birds wi spare cash are like.

you can clean any foam/cotton filter though with a filter cleaning kit? just your kit came supplyed with one eather that or you bought it?

imo a hot hatch is when a manufacturer takes its economical non performance car (clio, corsa, saxo, 106, starlet, 205 etc) and develops it to handle well and sticks a resonably powerfull engine in it (something thats MUCH MUCH more powerful than that cars ever going to need for the purpose it...

i like this idea!

if you floor it off the lights in the wet then its going to cut in, i find in the dry tho it cuts in when it really shouldnt when launching and you get a better start if its off. i only use it for when im not driving hard and something catches me out such as surface water etc

Thats cruel!!! lol

i picked up my old 1.2 box with 8k miles on it for £80, and afaik they fit the 1.6 16v, infact they fit the 172 too! lol obviously the 1.6 box was designed for a reason but i cant see the 1.6 having too much power for the 1.2 box to handle (this is assuming it is a 1.6 you have? im just...

my 2002 1.2 16v was on 140k miles and running better than ever, one of the quickest 1.2s ive ever driven (not that you get any quick ones lol!!) as said on modern engines 100k+ is nothing, even for a renault! as long as its not been abused it'll be perfect

use chewing gum to put a poind coin in the hole. any local garage should weld it for you for cheap id think.

pmsl

always rollin wi the xenons of course! u taught me well... car its self was actually ok paint job looked pretty good, kit was at least fitted properly, exhaust didnt sound to bad, wheels looked ok just the rear clusters spoiled it and found the "Pink my ride" sticker a bit weird lol

just so you can see mate heres a pic with sportlines and cup splitter. i know i really really should invest in a digital cammera been saying that since i was about 15!! lol but phone pics will need to do for now! Back end sits a bit higher than the front which annoys me!

hmmmmmmmmmmm........

really a panel filter is a panel filter, ive got an ITG in my 172 and a K&N in my 1.2, small gain noticed on the 172 with ITG but really that would probably have been noticed with any panel filter!

mine made 83bhp on the rollers (+8bhp over standard, but we all know what R/R's are like) it had.... Powerflow Cat Back Stainless System Decat K&N Pannel Filter Modified Airbox to allow it to hold more air and suck in more air Larger cold air feed was fun while it lasted, dont regret...

the dealer that sold my car had to replace the centre section with a new one a week after i picked up the car, unfortunately its one of they cheap shite things that quickfit etc use and its bollox, the bends are much narrower than the standard renault system meaning its loosing power over...

newer 2004> engines have a different airbox, inlet manifold, throttle body, ECU and exhaust manifold to name a few bits!! the inlet manifold is shorter meaning the engine has a bit more torque which is the difference low down that your feeling. i found our old 2005 one was much better low...

bet it doesnt whistle like a turbo like my blowing piece of shite..... need to get a new exhaust just cant decide what, sensible and get a k-tec stealth or get a yozza race system? lol

hi mate just noticed this, not sure cant remember haha my memorys as much use as a wire mesh cannor! My Reg is SL03 SOC, but i do know of 2 other silver ones going about, although both look standard mine is lowered slightly and the other 2 gays never fancy a blast when you see them LOL mine is...

na i deffo cant see as well with me xenons as i used to be able to in my old car, and the full beam looks much much brighter than dipped beam on the 172 compaired to my old car, it wasnt that much brighter. saying that i did used to get flashed a lot with the 1.2 with people thinking i had my...

got my 172 at 18 (still am!) £1500 3rd party in my own name with 0ncb

cup spoiler pack includes the bigger rear spoiler that flicks up and a small front splitter on the bottom of the front bumper (both can be fitted by yourself if not included) the cup suspension pack came with dark anthracite wheels (opposed to silver wheels) and revised suspension (slightly...

The Sportlines are awesome mate handles so much better its much more planted than it was standard, i hated it to start with due to coming from a coilovered car so within 2 weeks i had sportlines on it.

looks like mine except mine is on sportlines and has a cup splitter, hows the exhaust sound nice? where did you get it done?

whats involved when changing the headlights is it just a simple bulb change? if so where from n how much? lol because i hate the standard xenons, nothing compaired to my old uprated bulbs in my 1.2 i cant see a thing with them lol

dont put coilovers on it if your going to 2.0 it as u need new coilovers to run that engine! just stick springs on it and then 2.0 coilovers along with the hubs and brakes etc when you convert it.

I Only use Goodyear Eagle F1's on mine, had PE2's on it when i got it and didnt rate them as good as the F1's
