Hilarious.

I think there's a guide in the guides section which tells you how to fix it - may have pics too.

Prima are cheapest (£135) http://www.primaracing.com/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=33623 Kam are £150 (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault/renault-clio-mk2/suspension/springs/eibach-sportline-springs-renault-clio-mk2-all-exc-1-2.html) Prima's terminology "Eibach Low Spring Set" is odd, but the part...

That's what I'm putting in my 172. Supposed to be one of the best, if Opie are to be believed...

It's getting them out that bothers me - they'll spin when I try to drill them out too!

Eurgh. Nice one, thanks Lemon.

Balls. :(

Tried to get the bumper off the other day and noticed that the bolts in the wheel-arches just keep spinning (the poxy clips that the bolts screw into appear to be broken!). Am I being a dimwit and not seeing an obvious way to access them from the top or is the only option to find a way of...

Do the new and old variants have the same part number? Just wondering because I don't want to buy a set of old stock parts...

Ooft!

Looks like a corking car - good effort! Prefer one-colour inlets and silver bullets, but that's just me.

Series 1 Elise? 172 Cup? DC5 Integra/ EP3 Civic Type R?

I've just followed guides on here (after dealing with unscrupulous garages in the past, I developed an interest in how things work and I now find it pretty therapeutic to tinker with my own cars) and owned 2 172's so I've got to know them fairly well.

Been a busy boy today... Fitted: New grey Cup Turini's JMS induction kit And: Cleaned throttle body Removed and painted corroded engine lift points Wire-brushed my drive-shafts and painted them Replaced both broken ABS reluctor rings (brakes now don't judder at low speed!) Cleaned, treated...

I feel like I'm just using mine for commuting right now! :(

Gorms, your car looks epic, except for the spoiler (marmite). IMO. The black roof and vinyl on the front end transforms how I feel about the 200. (And I never thought I'd say this regarding the 200 but: Want).

Aren't track rods part of the rack on a 172? If they are, does that require the rack to be removed and stripped in order to replace them?

I'm still in the period of ownership where I'm sorting all the bits to make me happy with my car.# I'm over the moon with the car, but as an OCD/ perfectionist-type, I sometimes feel that when I tackle an -ostensibly small- job that I notice something else I want to sort. It's like setting...

Stickers? Poor show. R33 has a dated charm about it though.

Having a brief look at the usual sites, there seem to be a few available, mainly with 30-60k on them going for £4700-5000 so revise the price down from here?

Sprinkle / Spy Mouse / Bike Baron - All fun distractions.

Welcome :) There are loads of OE replacements out there, but consider a K-Tec Stealth or a Yozza (depending on your tolerance to noise!).

Welcome :)

Welcome fella!

Maybe not the right place to ask this but what should a set of freshly refurbished (by a professional wheel refurbisher!) standard 172 alloys with no tyres go for?

In the Range mine level out (like they're looking up) every time I start the car in the dark. Have to confess that the Clio doesn't seem to. Maybe it's just less pronounced?

Yes.

Stone Automotive are not too far away, in Staines. James [jamesstone] is a trader on here.

Thanks for the help chaps! Checked last night again and the fault is being caused by both front ABS reluctor rings having cracked. Balls.
