    just raced another 330 ci

    Craggy - I can relate to you. Ive done the same thing, the gear box is pants in the willy/172 so it seems. My gear box is being replaced under warranty next week. Is the willy gear box a diesel clio one? or is that a myth?

    Fake 172... why pretend...

    Its like breast implants, they look ok at a *very* slight glance (peripheral vision) as long as theyre not too big, but when you really look, you know what they are (they are crap). The 1.2 16v Courtesy car I am driving at the moment would not be able to pull along lots of i.c.e. It...

    FAO: Phase 1 172 owners, cool trick for cool noise!

    My gears have been crunching for ages. Apparently there was loads of oil leak underneath etc from where it was knackered. I prime warranty job, no questions asked. Regarding harming the car without the cold air feed: if you think about it, all you are doing is not having as much cold air as...

    Car at Renault one again, great.

    This time its in for the gear box to be replaced as it keeps crunching in 3rd gear. They agreed to replace the whole gear box under warranty - hey, i hope they put in the closer ratio mk.2 gear box! is it different, or is it a myth. Meanwhile, im enjoying my Clio "COURTESY CAR" which has about...

    FAO: Phase 1 172 owners, cool trick for cool noise!

    Ive got a mk.1, so our airboxes are different. I have two pipes (cold air feeds), one takes air from the grill under the head light, and the other - i guess - takes air from the wheel arch. Im thinking of just disconnecting the wheel arch one and leaving the front grill ram air feed connected...

    It sounds best with both pipes disconnected, especially when you stuff it into 2nd gear and floor it. When i change upto 2nd gear now, the revs are at 6000 (higher than before the group n ecu) and it sounds amazing! like a bark! "BAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR" (sound)

    FAO: Phase 1 172 owners, cool trick for cool noise!

    Yeah! its a lot louder with both disconnected, but still sounds good with just the one disconnected. The lower (wheel arch feed) pipe was a bit harder, but if you loosen the leather strap (sounds raunchy!) around the air box you can maneouver the whole air box and give it a proper twist, its a...
