nope thats parked outside my work lol, its standard suspension with 45 profile tyres! looks scarey high!

who all remembers this..... well look what i spotted today lol... clearly still has the 195/45/15 tyres on it lol look at that gap!

i pay £1200 fully comp with 1yrs ncb at 19 with admiral in my own name with mum and dad on policy. when i was 18 i payed £2500 3rd party in my own name lol £220 a month!! was worth it though hehe

how can you compair both they cars?! :S

just top it up, make sure you get the correct type so it doesnt cancel each other out!

just make sure you get a decent one, make sure the cambelt and aux belt are done, rear disks are £200 so watch out for that, make sure exhaust isnt hanging off or about to fall off, and the rear dampers arnt leaking. £150 for 2 eagle F1s too so make sure tyres are decent enough

watch out for rusty exhausts falling off, common problem, leaking rear dampers is another, notchy gearboxes are a sign of it being abused, its not the best gearchange in the world but it should go into gear easy, shouldnt jump out of gear or crunch when changing! cambelt is due at 72k or 5...

id go for a dci if i was changing for the save in cash and much more torque, wouldnt bother with a 1.4, possibly worth looking at teh 1.6 if your minds set though as insurance isnt much different and the engines very similar, extra torque of it is worth it though.

sounds like a k-tec stealth

bumper off, screws on from behind bumper iirc

looks good apart from wheels lights and sport badge, i miss my black one. decent job you done of the spraying, well done. id stick the standard wheels back on it, 195/45/15 tyres and slam it about 90mm like my old one! lol

rear dampers shot? mine were gone and i lost the back end at 25mph on a wet roundabout, lucky because i was going slow by the time it slid round i was only doing about 5-10mph so managed to catch it but had never felt a car lose control so easy, chcked both dampers and they had both emptyed...

my mk3 1.2 16v runabout is on 70k and goes like f**k compaired too any mk2 1.2 clio for some WEIRD reason!! much more torque around town, 30mph is fine in 5th so there not as bad as they sound. best test drive one though. dci would be my choice tho!

its there to stop u blowing it up not to actually blow it up!

nope its solid when reving and doesnt move much when rocking the engine back and forward (just the amount of movement you would expect from new mounts. when coming into my street tonight i turned into the drive quite quickly and started braking when turning and heard a little clunk that...

This cars doing my head in, its just not running right, thought it was the engine mounts so changed them all and problems still there so trying a few other ideas! if a driveshaft or both driveshafts were shot, would it cause the car to jerk when coming off the throttle or quickly hitting the...

yep but they last 72k and dont need changed every 12k!

GET ON THE FAIL BOAT!!

my old 1.2 16v clio was around -80mm all round, on anything more than a smooth road it didnt handle worth a f**k, fast bends it would bumpskip in the bends. i personally wouldnt be going any lower than -40mm on a 172 unless it was for track only use.

deffo worth it!

its a high performance high reving engine, you can use cheap oil in it if you want, your car, but theres no way id be using tesco oil when hammering my cars nuts in round a track. oilman im sure will come on and back me up with this and the real facts about these cheap "fully synthetic" oils.

its worth the extra to use genuine cables.

wont give any power gain, slightly better driveability.

manifold split or burst at a joint and thast probably why its banging, my 1.2 16v used to do that when the flexi burst.

im sorry but thats a lot of balls ^ i use millars fully synthetic motorsport oil in the 172, changed every 6k and always use genuine filters

19 fully comp 1yrs ncb clio 172 - £1200 done a quote on a 225 today too after looking at one and got quoted £1450

its basically the same engine so would all bolt on fine, its the engine management that would be the problem (and expensive part)

i carefull owner never raced or rallied hehe!! pitty it ended there you were reeling in that porsche! lol

im cutting my original cat down and welding the flanges on so it fits the new manifold for mot time. insurance is covering it no problem.

lol yeah cant wait tbh! NOT lol
