done the bullets anthracite with yellow lettering, bit marmite not 100% on them yet but growing on me. calipers were yellow their now silver but im re doing them yellow this week at some point!!
be an awesome mod, apparently the cup race cars running relitavely standard engines but only weigh 900kg with a sequential box can do 0-100 in 10.5 seconds i beleive! think they top out about 120mph! lol
Stan, Rednax and DanD - Thanks for your advice/opinions and serious answers. much appreciated.
ollie 1982 - if you dont have anything proper to say then dont say it maby i should have been more specific, im buying another dci clio this week and now the 172 is going to be my weekend track and...
lol looking at one the now, im looking for another 1.5 dci and just wasnt sure about the colour in the pics. ive had black silver and red so need something different this time lol
and what exactly does a 172 having injectors and an ecu have to do with vvti and vvt?
toyotas VVT is continuous varible valve timing where as the 172 has an on off system, so no, they are not the same, do you class vtec and vvt as the same thing?
insurance on conversions is rediculous, you will insure a 1.6 16v clio pretty cheap but try insuring a 1.2 16v with a 1.6 16v conversion!! have you done any quotes for 172's tho? i got insured at 18 on mine with 0 ncb.
imo the only reason for doing a conversion is for cheap insurance ie. not...

as mentioned before your rev limiter will come in early untill the engine is up to temperature, this can take up to 20 minutes of normal easy driving in my experiance if its a cool day and you shouldnt be going near the limiter if its not up to temperature...
ive driven a few different ones both 16v and 8v over the years and the 16vs are a good bit quicker as your flying thru the revs thru the gears, around town in all honesty you wont notice too much difference due to the 8v getting its power lower down the rev range, they feel the same untill about...
hi mate sorry just noticed your post, it was up at loch lubnaig just past callender, decent location and what a drive taking it to the redline in 4th then back on the brakes blip to 3rd and away we go again! im in love with it!
if you or anyone you know is interested in the EK give me a PM and...
civic handles better than my clio due to the LSD corners at crazy speeds! (not like a 172 corners that slow either!!)
were not really into abusing our cars off the lights etc but from 30+ the clio pulls on it, over 100 clio is a good bit quicker.
overall imo the civic is the better drivers...
