lol lighter weight +10 bhp!

lol I was misquoted your honour!

theres a CD you can get (dialogys) which the dealers use - its full of stuff. Have a look on ebay.

*older peep chips in* would be a bit much for me I must admit, thinking of going to that guy for a custom zorst for our Megane though, it looks quality.

Sounds complex, but Im going to try a DIY effort anyway just to see what can be done. My original 172 wheels are well shot (due to my own incompetence), so nothing to lose really. Dont have a lathe, just a load of wet n dry and willpower!

yellow rocks, but welcome anyway whatever you get!

If you go over a manhole cover or something like that it can trigger the ABS. Mine operates every morning approaching an island on the way to work.

Didnt want to mod my 172 when I bought it new. 1 month later, springs. 3 months later, Magnex..... 2 years later, strut brace, splitter, ECU, rims, silcone hose kit, filter ......... go on, you know you want to :devilish:

Any sign of the rev limiter Ed?

Took me the whole day to paint those Megane wheels last week, what with prep, sanding, masking etc. I was really surprised how well they turned out though. Its a pain using refurbishers - have to get tyres removed - ££, take wheels for refurb - ££££££ - get tyres refitted - ££ again. Not...

Right, Ill give this a go on my old rims over the next few weeks.

If it pleases you - do it!

Im determined to have a go at this if I can get some tips on how to do it.

So how exactly do they get rid of the kerb scuffs when you get your wheels re-furbed? Do they fill the dings in with something?

you can see the drop with the Pro kit: Red car has pro kit - silver one standard (but not anymore lol!) http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/clios.jpg

If you want inexpensive tyres that still grip try some Yokohama A539s or Toyo Proxes.

Sportline are lower and stiffer I believe.

starting second time is dead common on a 172. Why worry?

Get it on a track. then decide. Loads of people (me included) have swapped the 172 springs for Eibachs, with very good improvements. Its a cheap modification, and the best one youll ever make.

If its a UK car you should get the locking wheels nuts, alarm and splitter etc.

Happened on mine - fixed under warranty. Get it done before it wears the paint down to the metal!

No much you can do about it - does it do any harm?

RRs are good for comparing output from different cars, but pretty useless for measuring absolute values.

Theres nothing wrong with the standard shocks unless you want a big drop. Had no problems from Renault with my Eibachs - fitted them when the car was about a month old.

Itll cost you a fortune - easy to get the extra bhp with mods if thats all youre after, but if you want the actual car youll lose a lot.

Theres no lever that Ive seen, and you get pretty intimate with your headlights when you fit bluevision sidelight bulbs...
