its not a 172, its a Dynamique

thats why i would consider diesel, i know you said you dont like them but they are quieter inside than the 1.6 petrol which is droney anything other than 30mph town driving, comforable is obviously the same what ever engine you go for, plus much cheaper to run with its £30 a year road tax and...

some nice pics there, forgot it was on was going to pop up. I spot that Berlingo van that cuts about falkirk with the big front mount on it! also white Clio GT, wet dream if its in diesel form with leather!! lol

ebay is your friend, any reason why your buying the 1.6 over the diesel versions?

dci 100 is a sound car, im running one remapped to 130bhp/190lb/ft, give my 172 a run for its money! dci clios arnt well liked on this forum your better off on cliodci.net however ill answer your questions, but its worth checking out for some more info! engines are sound, regularly serviced...

cool, glad your enjoying it. im from stirling. i know them inside out, any questions give me a shout!

yeah think ill give it a clean, paint the cover and polish the engine mount and fuel rail guard, shes oblivious to under the bonnet, im just bored for my 2 weeks off lol

your main problem as far as i can see is the PH2 dashboard is controlled by the UCH, the ph1 isnt afaik so its not transferable without doing that too!

Renault Cabasse TunerList thats what i have an UpdateList wont work.

i couldnt beleive the grip i got on a set in the rain, was shitting myself untill i realised they are actually ok!

as above JC5 box from a DCi 80 isn't any stronger than a JC5 172/182 box but better ratios for a turbo car. DCi 65's use a weaker JB3 gearbox

pmsl

painted some dash strips for the mrs flamer. came out pretty good for rattle can! engine cover next?...

looks really good, the haters will say their piece about the door badges, however its a replica so.... rather than lowering springs id go for 182 hubs and dampers, then you can use either 182 springs or 2nd hand sportlines for similar money! and atleast it will handle and you can use 172/182...

where you from buddy?

uprating the speakers will only make it worse as more powerful ones will distort at a lower level. its the head unit thats your problem it doesnt have the power to drive the speakers at higher volumes. ive got some Pioneer TS-Q131C renault fitment speakers in my dci, wern't much better than...

boot floor is awesome!!! full car is. one recomendation as you already know, XENONS YA BAS!

one of the cleanest ive saw! really suits the 182 wheels. id remove the sidelight bulbs though!

going to refurb my wheels this week, is there an easy way to remove the tyres without taking them to a garage? never something ive done before

usually quite common for the wiring to the alternator to snap off or get badly corroded, easy fix luckily!

no doubt some ned will want a set of big wheels for their car, probably punt them on for £150 if they have tread on them, and get yourself a decent set of standard OZ F1 Cup's as fitted to MK1 172's which will make it look 10x better and handle much better, thats before we get to the advantage...

as title, on the drivers side, does only the drivers window button light up or do both, wasnt sure if mine is broken as dont want to replace it to discover thats just the stupid way they are lol!

but remember all the engines are different, its like driving a 172 then jumping into a 182 your probably not going to notice a great deal of difference, but drive one car without it then drive one with it and its a massive difference, granted i fitted a decat at the same time but on a before an...

ive got 1 big problem with it, ill give you 1 guess what it is

the most mechanical thing i had ever done to a car before i fitted my 182 manifold was changed a wheel. its a pain and a bit niggly but its by no means hard, and i could do one now in about 3-4hours max. EDIT: plus anyone who tells you its not worth doing for the little gain to be had doesnt...

thats what i done yesterday when i felt it tightning up but the fucker still snapped, lucky it left me enough to get a set of mole grips on it and get it out that way, c**t!

is it just me or does everyone else shear the bolt that bolts into the wheel arch, every time i remove one of these from a car thats not had mounts done in a few years?!?! thats about 7 cars ive done it to now!

2.5" pipework, centre box to keep it bareable, 3" slash cut would be my choice

very nice!
