    Climate Control 172 - Randomness!

    im not totally sure on this one but does the climate control take the outside air temp from the sensor under the passengers wing mirror (the one that gives you outside air temp on the clock/radio screen) so if it was playing up it would think the outside air temp was higher than it actually is...

    my first drive (182)

    to be honest the only reason i would buy a 182 over a 172 is if i prefered one of the colours! the 182 has more bold, colours that stand out (liquid yellow, racing blue, inferno orange) where the 172 is just monaco blue, flame red, iceberg silver and pearl black, which are all really nice...

    my first drive (182)

    Why not save yourself some more and get a 172 for £5,000 ish? a mk2 172 is basically the same car, same interior, same exterior (apart from different wheels and no twin exhausts (different spoiler and no splitter if your compairing to a 182 with the cup spoiler pack) and performance is basically...

    2.0 turbo

    given time and money its deffo possible just a good bit of blood sweat and tears on the way lol i looked into fitting one into my old 1.2!! i just dont have the time to sort out fabricating mounts and making up custom shafts thats before we come to wiring!

    Induction kit question no.278

    ^ on a turbo car yes because the turbos running off the exhaust gasses, so improve the flow with a different exhaust and it will give gains! its also sucking in large amounts of air so improving the intake will also give big gains! a clio isnt relying as much on exhaust and air flow so only...
