interior doesnt look that bad if you get a fresh looking one in good nick i prefered the ph2 interior when i had one when it was new but these days the ph2 interior isnt that great anyway so the ph1 doesnt look to bad, infact ive started to like it more than the ph2 one! the buttons and stuff...

all ph2 172s have climate, get an 04 plate or newer and it will have cruise too. wheels look better on the 172 anyway!

i love my k-tec stealth!! see my launch control video i posted a few days ago to hear mine

ive also found the ph1 has a much better mid range pull, dunno if its just my car but it pulls better mid range than my old modified ph2, but the ph2 pulled better top end when modded. im glad i made the swap, dash isnt that bad ;)

yep

no need for rear discs just do fluid, lines and uprated pads. if it was me id go for 280mm 172 setup up front but it needs hubs, suspension, ARB and bottom arms.

my ph1 isnt far off my dci lol 172 will do 38 and the dci does 48 usually!!

as above battery not having enough juice will be causing extra strain on the alternator causing it to squeel, its worse when you have heaters. lights or using the steering so usually these will make it squeel

100's are more reliable than the others if anything, they have stronger internals! gearboxes are fine i put 190lbft thru one for a year/20k miles of abuse and it never gave me a single problem and never dropped under 50mpg, was f**king fast!! even when it was standard it would have shown my...

yeah same box with longer ratios, 3,000rpm in 6th is 105mph lol i like it, however i also like my JC5 in my 172 which most people hate, never had a problem with renault gearboxes bar a diff exploding at 3.5mph in my dci 65 lol

love them! white with black roof is p**n

rear dampers will be shot, i nearly put my dci 100 thru a bush backwords when mine went

why not give it a go when it doesnt cost anything? seemed wrong not to try it!

clutch shouldnt be too much of a problem running launch control, obviously its going to wear it quicker but the cars dont have massive torque anyway so its not really a problem. next up is a 182 manifold and decat then an overrun map so it should sound awesome!

the launch control causing the exhaust to pop

this was taken in the summer but just finally got round to uploading it

i had the most powerful diesel haha

ahh right, i love mine so far only done 4500 miles in it in the 2 months ive owned it but its going good! only 2 things i slightly dislike about it is its crap on fuel compaired to a mk2 dci and it could be doing with 220-230lbft (40-50 more!) both things a remap would sort but ill wait till its...

petrol or diesel?

my ph1 is 11yr old 80k miles and ive just changed the aux belt on it, looked original lol was fucked! broke up in my hand when removed!

you have bought the wrong one i take it your car is a 53 plate or earlier? you have bought an induction kit for a 2004 > engine as said, buy an adaptor plate, induction kits dont make much noise on the pre 04 engines.

running spacers? how so? you had issues?

i love it just needs stance and rimmage and it would be perfect...

diesel power!!

if i was getting something so slow id want something cheap to run so id go dci power! 65mpg, £20 a year tax and cheap insurance, also much better to drive than gutless small engine petrols. if it has to be petrol go for the 1.6 16v its not much more to insure and it has a wee bit more torque...

what is going on with that exhaust? looks like a floppy ****

extreme 4 is similar to a dynamique but slightly less speced. you will have had colourcoded bump strips from factory however they will have a matt finish, not lacqured or rubbed down before paint. you will also have different interior from a normal dynamique (kinda green coloured seats) with...

lol your going to be popular here. whats a garaj? lol

love the exhaust, looks like a good mid range gain. i quite like the stickers! red wheels would finish it though if your keeping them
