    where is the IAT sensor on a 172 cup?

    Dont muck around with the replacement ECU's. Get yourself down to RS Tuning at Leeds. They'll re-map the engine to the mods youre running, or intending to run and increas the rev limit to 7650rpm. Like mine.;)

    2 of the fittest cars on here, which do you prefer?

    Am I right in saying the 1st one is gt_gaz's car? My choice?......that one, I'm not too keen on the white wheels on the 2nd. I think Racing Blue is the best colour though!:)

    xD or CompactFlash card?

    I have a Fuji S9500 9MP digital camera. I need more storage and better speed. At the moment i only have a standard Kingston 512MB card. I have a slot for an xD card, so could run two cards in the same camera, switching over when one is full. Any opinions as to speed of the above? Looking at...

    Have you tried the Meguiars Endurance Tyre Gel Dani? Great car by the way, the above would really finish it off.:)

    Will this fit my 172?

    I phoned my insurance company up and told them it was stainless steel and offered no performance increased and was a replica of the original Renault system, just that the S/S one was half the Renault price!! They didnt increase the premium at all. Yeah, like Ben says, play the ignorance card...

    Nice.:) See you got the embarrasing Rusty's sticker in the back window too?:o The missus' car had one in when we picked it up, first thing I did was take that and the tax disc holder out! SEAT garage, Scunthorpe by any chance? Running any mods on the Clio ? James

    Whos got a Milltek for the 172?

    I heard Craigs182 on the Milltek site - superb, the 172 system sounds good too. I was wondering about a de-cat, they're much more expensive for 172 than 182. Milltek do the 182 ones for about £40!

    Been to Angelworks!

    I was talking to Ben in depth about exhausts and he never mentioned developing one? My powerflow cat back is a 2" system, but he thought the standard Renault system is 2.25". The garage that made mine up put on same diameter pipework as they took off.:S And that was the original that broke at...

    Come on, someone must have been tempted by one. Sounds awesome on the Milltek site, cut into bumper looks the one to have.

    Been to Angelworks!

    coolchris, I got your pm with moby yes. Just finding time to put an hour aside!! You know what the missus's can be like.:rolleyes: Seriously thinking about a Milltek exhaust and Bens manifold, though that would be around £650 all in!! :eek: Think its gonna have to be one or the other, sounds...

    Been to Angelworks!

    You have the AWT manifold right Chris? As you're not far away [think you mentioned it] it would be good to discuss your mani and my RS tuning re-map over a drink now the nights are drawing out. We'll have to have a mini-meet or even a Breakfast run......:race: James

    Whos got a Milltek for the 172?

    When my OEM exhaust fell off in September I needed a cat-back system pronto. Couldnt wait the 2 weeks or so to order an "off the shelf" one LOL, so managed to get a Powerflow the next day. Fit is spot on, no rattles or anything, but now I have a bit of cash, I'm thinking of selling the...

    Much difference between a 2.25 exhaust and a 2.5?

    My powerflow cat back is only 2" pipework from the cat back. Though the o/d of the pipe coming out of the cat before the flange is 2" o/d. However, the pipe entering the cat from the manifold is 2.5". What is the standard o/d of the OEM exhaust anyone?????

    220bhp 172 (itbs)

    Been to Angelworks!

    Needed spark plugs changing and a bit of investigative/repair work doing on the car. I can't afford the time out of work to get things done in the week so it had to be a Saturday. Got in touch with Ben, who managed to fit me in 1st thing this morning - Cheers Ben!! Should have had some rear...

    best place to buy 172 mk2 exhaust?

    Yep, standard if you want nice and quiet. Pros and cons, you'll get a stainless one cheaper than a genuine Renault one, stainless will have a lifetime guarantee, Renault will have 12 months. If the one thats just broken is the original, then you've not done bad. Mine had done 45000miles. I...

    Is this Right ? K-Tec Stealth Mk2

    Looks like its hanging too low, i.e the back box isn't mounted high enough, but also it doesnt look like its set back far enough.:S

    Any one know any good remap companies that come to you???

    Like Fred says, RS Tuning at Leeds. I live near Newark and went up there to have mine re-mapped. Well worth the trip, about 75 mins door to door. Made quite a difference to mine, especially in low down grunt. Do you have any other mods? James

    182 Observations

    1. Gearbox mount, common fault, most Clios do it. Dont worry unnecessarily about it. 2. Sorry, dont have cruise on the 172 3. So does mine, give the pod a quick bang, it should go away for a while;) 4. Unlucky:dapprove:, its French remember, too busy sipping Vino instead of working hard. 5. Very...
