it can be done quite cheap all you need is the Alternator and alternator bracket from a 172 cup along with the 172 cup aux belt. wests sell a kit with everything needed, all brand new genuine renault too...

i considered it on my ph1 but decided against it, i do like it in the summer though, it is my sumer car afteral!

its one of they things, it might snap, it might not!, chances are it probably wont, however theres no way of telling! id probably tow it there as a precaution and ask them to push it into the workshop lol

car sounds cheap does it have any issues? avoid the 17s go for some factory 15s or 172 16s

need a good clean looks like someones pissed on them

i had an HKS pannel filter on my 1.2 16v ;)

screw how long the shocks last, its the spring coming out and getting wedged between the wheel and arch and wripping the tyre to shreds id be worried about or more so it coming out and getting wedged in the poor bugger behind you's intercooler or radiator

R.I.P lol

you lot are bonkers, i dont want to point out the obvious but whats going to happen to the rear springs when you go over a small hump on the road? or am i missing something?

what ever is cheapest, if your going to waste ur money, waste as little as possible

wtf can no one get insured on 172s on this place? i pay £500 a year @ 21 fully comp on my ph1 and have had a 172 since 17

ebc greenstuff are ok if the standard pads already fill your needs but you want hardly any dust, i run them all round on my runabouts to save my wheels. would never use them for proper driving though, tried that on my old ph2 and nearly died a few times

bought my ph2 172 at 17, now got my ph1 at 22

standard airbox on both, ph2 is running itg pannel the ph1 running a ph1 box with pipercross race pannel ph2 running a 182 manifold too

could possibly be the UCH but other things to try would be the battery or earth point

1.Martin_172 (im drivin like a bawbag tho)

its easy if you know how, but the fact your asking means you probably dont?

k-tec stealth for me, had 1 on each of my 172s, dont get the unsilenced one though they are a bit too loud!, silenced one is perfect you can still hear engine noise heres my 2... decatted... with cat in place http://www.youtube.com/user/martinDynamique#p/a/u/2/gOJZU7xaN2o

they are mint, gold looks abit funny but i bet a dark bronze would be mint!

ph1 ftw weighs about the same as my baws after ive hosed my bird, and it has aircon

loud exhausts should be saved for performance cars, id feel like a tit if i could go back to my 1.2 with loud system!

cheers, interior is standard other than a retrim of the wheel from the guy on here that does them and a Cabasse head unit from a 182, Dynamique/RS silver interior handles and the interior grab handles resprayed iceberg silver

since you asked!... Only thing that lets it down is the drivers mat is a bit tatty, if anyone has an imaculate one i will buy them a brand new set of RS mats for their ph1 set as you can no longer buy the blue ones brand new

need to drive like a homo to get over 40mpg in a 1.2 though, i spend most of my day at the naughty side of a tonne in the GT and average 55mpg

cheers dude, needs a few bits done but its not far away

looking good as usual on the subject remapped dci100s are awesome!!! miss mine

course its worth it cheap power!!! £270 gets you 20/25bhp and some torque!

if it was my car and a full aux belt kit was fitted last year then yes id just stick a new belt on it.

just a cambelt kit and a alternator belt, theres no tensioner on alternator
