spotted you on possibly monday night in dunipace coming from denny way i was coming from the chillihut wi a curry and turned down past the shop to mine!
then spotted you on wednesday, well your car, outside a wee place next to SMS tyres in stirling (your work maby?) was boosting about in ma...
my 172 was all over the road. play in steering etc so i decided to rebuild the bloddy front end. changed....
track rod ends
bottom arms
dampers
and tyres
didnt get any better then found out you could replace the inner track rods and it was sorted!! i thought u had to replace the full rack!
have you ever driven one though? you sound like me untill i took my dci65 a spin! i feckin love it!! keeping in mind i had a 1.2 16v like you and the 10bhp less 65bhp dci65 is a much better drive!
diesel one would be the pick of the bunch for me, could go for the dco106 (think its 106?!) but...
ive had 2 non RS clios and one RS clio....
both non RS clios had a gearbox change in under a years ownership by me
one had a new engine in that time too.
my RS has never needed anything apart from an exhaust and wear and tear parts. and ive owned it twice as long as the others and done twice...
mine pulled well with pannel filter, cat back and decat but in all honesty it wasnt a million miles better than it was standard, nothing like the gain you get on a 172 with they mods obviously but worth while doing all 3, one on its own though wouldnt bother
im with them and regularly change between my dci and my 172, they just charge me the extra in premium in a lump sum (or refund it if im going from 172 to dci)
ok so fitted a new jc5 box to the dci65 the other day and setup linkage, got first to 5th gear no problem but no reverse, but for some reason i cant seem to even get it into reverse using the selector on the box?
any ideas?
got a big ding in my bonnet from a large stone that got flicked up the other day but fancied a carbon bonnet (but want to get it painted on the outside and left carbon underneath - stealthy!) just wondering if they are the lightest bonnets i can get or does anyone do a aluminium or fibreglass...
ill race you!!!
in the dci, i like a challenge, not even worth putting the millage on my 172 to prove that it would pass you like your going backwords :)
lol shes not going to be driving it fast shes s**t scared of it! will be nice knowing shes out on the roads with £500 worth of tyres, 280mm brakes, traction control and abs, it will look after her!!
