something not right with the suspension on that!

A.C.A.B

yeah its a tank! thats what i decided on matey was killing me running my old ph2 172 every day so sold it for the dci 100, ran that for a year, was actually great fun for the year i ran it on its own, then bought the ph1 as a toy, then after 2yrs with the 100 ordered the GT DCi

my 100 used to do 60mpg daily when running 130bhp/190lb/ft, cant remember what that was to a tank but it wasnt much off what my old 65 was!! currently got a DCi 106, its no where near as good on fuel does 50mpg daily driving the same as i drove the 100!

na gearbox is sound, same gearbox used in all mk3 clio non RS cars just takes a few days to get used to, i much prefer it over the JB3 and JC5 used in the 65 and 80/172

na deffo not, 100 is a cracking car

they are awesome cars, 100 is the one to have though!

Year/Model/Mileage: 2003 172 52k Modifications (power related): ITG Pannel Filter Venue: Falkland Performance 172.9bhp 145lb/ft same car same venue a year later, AWT matched inlets, samco bend, ITG Filter, 182 manifold, Decat, K-tec stealth 188bhp 160lb/ft

i cant seem to see how it works without taking the car apart, its making a loud whine, whats the best way to go about it? how do you tension it?

"they call it the scandinavian flick"

good stuff ill order some from MT audio then, mine are hid4u too

put the handbrake on so it doesnt fall closer to the ground, GOOD IDEA BATMAN!

hehe its not been washed or driven since november when the alternator went and my gt arrived, done a bit of cleaning in the engine bay today though around the suspension turrets n stuff. lol had it for over a year now! cheers, should look better when its finished off with a few finishing...

this has been quiet for the last few months just been collecting parts. stripped the inlet manifold off it, re painted it silver along with the fuel rail guaurd and the arm on top of the throttle body, ordered and fitted a brand new ph1 172 Airbox as i had lost the clips for mine and you cant...

anyone having any issues with radio reception with hids on mk3's? cant get a single bit of radio reception on mine, neither can any car within 10 meters of mine, turn them off and it bursts into life

power wont happen, noise then yeah induction kit or exhaust

ph2s appear to be improved over ph1's too!! or atleast in GT / RS Spec

genuinely saw this happening with cheap tyres, i didnt beleive it either until replaced and it suddenly stopped, it was only happening in winter on greezy roads, driving slowly too!

Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread. 16" oz F1s were an optional extra on ph1 172s yes, not many about!

172 will handle terrible on they 172s, if you think its amazing wait till you try it on 15s!! engine management light could be anything really better to get it on a diagnostics machine, is it still pulling smoothly, just slow? no missfires? when was the belts done and where?

i dont care if someone is used to driving a range rover or something else massive and heavy, a small light clio as much as it may not feel as refined its still safe and stable. i had mine atleast a few times a week at 140 odd mph and never once felt unsafe in it then suddenly it felt like it was...

i guarantee it needs rear dampers, been there done that, £90 for 2 genuine renault rear dampers, problem solved. i nearly sold mine after playing about with tracking, new tyres, etc to cure the problem.

at 17 my 172 cost me £650 a month that was fuel payment and insurance. the rest was all on top of that, tax, mot, tyres, servicing etc i made £720 a month at the time!

bit of a distance for you but Colin @ Car n Bike in Bonybridge has always done my cars, just recently resprayed a wing on my 2 month old GT and you would never know it was done!

name and shame lol

any mk2 owners especially ph2/200 owners had this problem? both my rear lights doing it and have done pretty much from new

cheers dude, waiting on a few gaskets, hoses, battery and airbox coming then it will be good to go so it can get a run every now and again, anyone recomend a good upholstery cleaner to remove it?

asuming were taking about an Rstuner map then that would be my choice first (i have both sportlines and this map and the map made the biggest difference)

Re: My Clio Mk3 1.2 172 Replica people with rs ones want halo ones? are you off your dinger?

i thought £1,000 at 17 was bad on my 1.2 16v the day i passed! i went on my mums policy for a for 8 months and it brought it down to £600 then started my own at 17 when i bought my 172 to build up ncb, got 5 now :)
