i know some people here have been negative etc about the car but to be honest R20 CWH was one of the once who said something decent instead of the usual comments bodykitted cars get, but still you tried to shoot him down in flames for pointing out to you that you dont have a clio V6 spoiler...

little video, nothing special taken on my phone which doesnt pick up the sound that well and because the windows were down eventually you cant hear it! but anyway...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3Z47SUTnPQ

did yours get much louder after it had been on for a while?

id say about 3 hours to remove old one, fit new one, cut bumper, adjust it etc its not the easyest job on axel stands lol! uploading a video right now ;) and yeah decat next when i get a 182 manifold its transformed the car, pulls harder, feels quicker, flys through the revs

no no, after seing yours and your videos i took the plunge and went for it hehe no their is instructions and pictures, you measure 16" from the corner of the bumper and thats the centre of the surround, 14" and 19" is the outside of the surround, i measured the 14" and 19" marks then drew...

16" from the corner of the bumper (bottom of the bumper at the wheel arch) is the centre of the cutout 14" and 19" iirc is the outside edges of the surround

best to do both at once

flat/fucked battery or possibly dodgey corroded conector on the starter motor

nope just cat back, £380+ delivery

£401 with CS discount including a new rear exhaust mount because mine was shagged

as low as ur knob lorraine ;) lol

some tasters ;) old restrictive centre section look how thin the pipework gets going into the silencer and how it gets thiner at the bends!! it still made 173bhp too with it!....

received my ktec 2.5" recessed system today, fitted it this morning. the fit is 100% perfect one of the easiest systems ive ever fitted even cutting the bumper was easy considering it was my first time thanks to the instructions and pictures. took it a test drive and wow, it sounds...

^powersteering pipes wont be a problem though dont all non RS clios have electric PAS or is it just the 1.2s? as above watch for the steering although ive dropped mine loads and never had an issue was only when i removed all the bolts to drop it more that i poped the steering out, it just...

i always let my 1.2 16v warm up for 15/20 mins before hammering it, once it had its oil temp though it got constant redline action and it went like f**k for a 1.2 and would still be going strong if the cambelt didnt snap at 140k! new lump was only on 50k and was never as quick. i changed the...

ive saw this about falkirk its quite tidy in the flesh, theres another one going about in a similar colour which looked ok untill the guy stuck a bodykit on it that looks like he made it himself out of wood, totally ruined the car!

172's can cost a bit especially when cambelts due, service due, tax due, etc etc so the guy is maby looking for something cheaper to run but wants something good looking, which is why your car might appeal to him!

my mate sold his mk1 172, high millage but full service history, never smashed but with a few niggles here n there for just under 2.5k

because renault have to map the car to run it safely in loads of different countrys on different quality of fuels.

its only worth doing if you can do all the work yourself (well apart from maping) so its costing you parts only. if your getting someone to do it, forget it! still wont be that quick but will give a nice low down torque gain, we supercharged an MG ZR and what a difference it made in day to day...

there was no damage to the thread in the gearbox when i removed mine from my 172 but it DID kill my top mounts in about 5 months...... i think bmh.01 has hit it spot on saying the RS 4th mount is probably helping or preventing the problem.

its been a while since i done it but if i remember correctly theres 4 bolts holding the subframe on and then 2 brackets at the back of the subframe thats held on by 4 bolts on each side (kinda triangle shape) remove the brackets then remove the 2 back subframe bolts, and just loosen the front...

first thing i thought too! bet its a nice looking finish to the paintwork lol!

ive got sportlines on mine with brand new 172 cup dampers all round, it handles spot on! perfect match for the standard dampers. ride isnt really any harsher, bodyroll is reduced, turn in is much shaper, it has more grip, more stable under braking and cornering and feels more planted at high...

I had a K4M (1.6 16v) engine and gearbox for my old 1.2 16v when i blew it up, but its the same hastle as a 172 conversion and i needed the car back on the road ASAP so i went for another 1.2 16v lump. if your spending the cash and going through the hastle your better doing a 2.0 16v...

you smashed f**k out the airbox?! what happens if you need to go in for engine related warranty work?

my old one....

down a backroad if you keep the revs up the 182 wont be much faster than the 1.6 id imagine as my modded 1.2 16v used to keep up fine on the cliosport meets untill we got to a straight then it was a different story!

dont go from a dci to a 1.2 16v! your mapped dci probably has more torque than my 172 and when i go from the 172 to my 1.2 16v when the 172s off the road the lack of torque kills me!

looks like it doesnt have a plastic inlet manifold! someone told me it did, bit more hope for more boost then! get a FMIC on it and replace the plastic boost hoses then map it
