Oh no....not this again!

Agree Renault quoted me over 300 for an OE exhaust which I though was ridiculous....also comes on one section which means you can't just change the BB if it gets f**ked. Better off with something like a stealth and will be less that OE even brand new.

Welcoem to the forum...enjoy the car:D

Agree with you Mark and for the reasons above I'd never want one.

Waste of money on a road car....may be worth running one for the track though

That should be easily done....the Fiesta apparently isn't that good.

I second that advice....there's no easy way to get away with cheap insurance if your young and be 100% covered/safe apart from having your own poilcy. It's a real pain but we all have to do it....I started off driving when I was 17 in a 1 litre Renault 5 which probably cost me a grand to...

Viper is the same deal though...a cone inside a fancy carbon outer.

I've got my tax due end of the month but f**k it, a sports cat must be brought and installed on the car:D

Mechanically yes but I very much doubt the petrol cunsumption is going to differ that much.

Price isn't bad at all....Maxogens are just ludicrous price wise. Sealed kit should behave in a similar manner to the airbox so long as you can get the intake in the right place.

What's this elf oil like?

Looks good but not my cup of tea. Think they are okay to fit if you have a full-on, kitted up show car with all the trimings but not on everyday road cars.

I've never tried one on my 172 nor any induction kit for that matter....I fitted a K&N to my old 19 16v and it seemed to loose so much torque, especially in the summer when in traffic etc. For those reasons I've chosen to leave the OE box in place and to install a panel filter. Up to you...

Reccomend Shell Helix 5/40w....used to use it in my WRX with no problems :D

K-tec do one complete with a sports cat but it's bloody expensive at around £600. Also, with any upgrade like this youre only going to get the most out of it if the car is mapped after fitting.

Still rather have the present Clio trophy:D

Leathered up heavy as hell 172 returns pretty good mpg mate.....mine rarelt goes below 30mpg even when giving it some stick. Mind you, I come from owning a car which probably did low 20s at the best of times so it's all relative.

Seems like a good deal to me:D

Mmmmm..really. I'm driving a 172 because is good value for money and I choose to leave it looking standard because I don't want it looking modified. Like I said, it's a matter of preference

Go for the stealth....lovely sound and nice and discreet.

Trust me.....too old to be driving around in tarted up peugeots....been there, done that. Matter of preference though

That's awful....I think I would run into the back of that car on purpose if I saw it out....be worth it.

I have had problems with Renault main dealers before but that's just main dealers for you....pretty much there to rip you off no matter what Marque of car you drive. My 172 is out of warranty now and due to teh depreciation of these cars I'll just be getting it serviced at my local garage...

From my 172s manual: 33 front 30 Rear

Oh yeah....CTR has been taken well over 300bhp now with supercharger conversion.

Still don't see the point on an OE engine but I have seen this done before. Make sure you keep the pipe away from any brake components though and away from the cat.

Agree....they are awful in that department.

Go standard tint wise

You lucky man.....would love a Trophy:D
