Clio 172/182 cup is much better than a Fiesta ST in the handling & engine department plus those stripes just look daft.....the onl cars that should have those are Shelby Mustangs and Cobras.

Even on short journeys/urban driving I can get high 20s mpg. Think the car does need a service

I'm probably going to make the drive to Pompy from Bath for my 24k/4yr service....his work seems to be so highly reccomended and I'm just unsure about main dealers respect/treatment of customers cars.

Definately prefer the Naples one

Has anyone got any diagrams/instructions on how to remove the front bumper on a Mk2 172? How long/difficult is the job?

Agree with you I actually like the engine bay looking std and couldn' care about noise. I may however wrap the OE box in some heat resistant mat

Put a Green panel in my 172 and am very happy with it

Exactly the point I was making and well proven:D

I'm sure Renault spend some time and money developing the intake system so it works well.....I don't want to spend £200 on some foam, polished alloy and some glorified tumble-drier hose just to find out it wrecks the cars driveability.

Good to hear there are still some honest people out there in this age of the chav, kunt etc. I wasn't so lucky a while back......massive gouge/dent down my rear wing in my Renault 19 done by a flatbed lorry....motherf**ker did a runner and it cost me about £300 to put right:mad:

Nice one Have to say the look of the new Megane has really grown on me.....I would consider getting one next:D

Have to agree with you. I think until your tuning your car to a very high level they are more for cosmetic/sound improvements.....as with most engine mods as well, you only get the most from them if you have the car properly mapped anyway.

Agree I had open K&N on a R19 and it killed the torque.....was completely useless in the summer.

Very expensive TBH some decent suspension/brakes would probably make the car 'quicker' Still, good engineering and very good figures.

BS.....Ha Ha....that's what I first thought:D I suppose there are the RR graphs to prove it though.....I won't be buying one myself.

That is an unbelieveble price:eek:

Are there no gaskets between the cat and the centre section then?

Don't bother with IKs......just save your money and put a decent panel in the airbox.

That sounds like a very good deal to me:D

I've brought a few parts from K-tec and have been happy with them:D

Thanks for the reply mate Surprised not more replies.....I think everyone is obviously too busy discussing blowing money on throttle bodies (laughter). Ah well....off to Renualt in my lunchbreak tomorrow then:D

Anyone? Must be quite a few people that have done this modification.

Nice and simple one I am going to be putting a janspeed sports cat on my 172 soon What gaskets do I need to replace when doing this and at what sort of cost?

Prima racing do a reworked R5 GGT engine using a 1.7 bottom end for more torque and power using less boost.

Welcome to the forum

That's a sad sight.....glad everyone is okay though

I'm going to wait a bit and let all the new buyers take the resale price drop.

I've got a late 2002 172 and it has esp but not cruise control.

I'm a great believer in subtle modifications so will be adding a Sports cat to my K-tec stealth and green panel filter.....and then stopping there....the car sounds good, doesn't attract much attention, looks OE and is cheap to run:D If I want more power I'll just buy a different car.

That is good miles for the year. My 172 is doing well on that fron too.....2002yr model with 14000 on the clock. Still got to get it serviced yearly though and it needs the coolant and brake fluid done in October as it has to be done every 4yrs regardless of milage.
