personally if i was you i would do what i do.
Ph1 172 for weekend fun, and track days (£2500 for a minter!)
DCi 100 for daily (£3500 for a minter) 65mpg, £35 a year road tax and cheap insurance every day
my dci costs me less than £400 a year (MOT, TAX, Service, Insurance) + fuel
used the search function and cant find a great deal just bits and bobs, and mark fish website doesnt have anything on it.
basically im going for a trophy setup on the ph1, all the standard parts are sourced, im just interested in this setup.
what does it include, what are the costs?
i read...
jamex are terrible, fitted some to a 1.2 16v corsa C for a boy a few years back and they were horse s**t.
slammed the back about 60mm and didnt lower the front (these were 40mm springs) the rear springs had about 10 coils, 8 of which just sat against each other when the car was sitting on the...
thats why i would consider diesel, i know you said you dont like them but they are quieter inside than the 1.6 petrol which is droney anything other than 30mph town driving, comforable is obviously the same what ever engine you go for, plus much cheaper to run with its £30 a year road tax and...

id possibly consider the TCE engines then if i was you, we have a 1.6 16v dynamique in mk2 form (ie lighter!) and apart from being...
dci 100 is a sound car, im running one remapped to 130bhp/190lb/ft, give my 172 a run for its money!
dci clios arnt well liked on this forum your better off on cliodci.net however ill answer your questions, but its worth checking out for some more info!

yeah think ill give it a clean, paint the cover and polish the engine mount and fuel rail guard, shes oblivious to under the bonnet, im just bored for my 2 weeks off lol
your main problem as far as i can see is the PH2 dashboard is controlled by the UCH, the ph1 isnt afaik so its not transferable without doing that too!
looks really good, the haters will say their piece about the door badges, however its a replica so....
rather than lowering springs id go for 182 hubs and dampers, then you can use either 182 springs or 2nd hand sportlines for similar money! and atleast it will handle and you can use 172/182...
uprating the speakers will only make it worse as more powerful ones will distort at a lower level. its the head unit thats your problem it doesnt have the power to drive the speakers at higher volumes.
