my old 1.2 16v clio had FK Konigsport Coilovers, polly bushes, front and rear strut braces (front one welded in), fully stripped interior with no carpets or back seats etc 15" wheels with 195/45/15 eagle F1's and awesome brakes and i know for a fact that down all the twisty backroads around here...

plates are stupid but cool at the same time, not something id do to mine!! think it had an exhaust too (not surprizing really they all do these days lol)

not read this full thread so not sure whats been said but personally id get a Phase 1 172 as its a cheaper base car to start with, you already have the 15" wheels for cheap track rubber and better handling, alloy bonnet is an added bonus too for weight saving thats before you even get to the...

saw C20 CUP in falkirk today, blue one with the mental cut out reg plate! you on here mate? was in the iceberg.

i fitted my old apex -60mm kit to my mates dynamique the other day and its just as harsh as my sportline'd 172 on standard dampers. not that bad imo. my coilovers are great when set to the softest but a bit to soft for my liking from a handling point of view

any dissadvantages to running one? i may be interested once ive heard more

the 1.2 bolts are the same ive got one on mine!

car looks awesome just read the feature, congrats mate!

they will fit but its not recomended due to the much heavyer front end with bigger engine, rears wont be a problem due to not much if any extra weight.

i payed £6750 for my 03 on 24k full Renault Service history, 1 years warranty, tax etc

ive always used Eagle F1's, my 172 came with a set of PE2's but when it came to replacing the fronts i couldnt afford 2 PE2's so went for 2 F1's and to be honest i prefer them to the PE2's

standard disks, not drilled/grooved. pads and disks have covered 10k/6months so not bedding in due to them not being brand new, just new-ish! both disks look and feel ok but ive not had the wheels off yet for a proper look. does the pressure on the rear brakes gradually increase when your...

hi guys, getting a weird grinding feeling (thats all i can think of to explain it!) when breaking hard say from 100+ mph down to 60 or less when i first start braking it feels fine and normal but then after say 5 or 6 seconds i get a grinding noise and feeling through the car/pedal its a...

i emailed them the same question and david replyed saying they are the same construction so sound similar, dont know if they are any different at all sounding or not but they are similar!

my dad had my car for a day last weekend and couldnt keep up with my uncle in his 1.6 astra lol hes used to driving a turbo diesel tipper though which doesnt have the widest power band in the world LOL theres still no excuse!

mine pulls to the limiter fine takes a bit of time over 120 but keeps pulling steadily (spelling?), theres a good twisty runway arround here on my way home with a good straight on it and i hit the limiter nearly every time! well not these days due to the weather and road conditions but in the...

that picture in the guide has 15" dynamique wheels on it :S austrailia spec or something??

would avoid the zetec S, ive drove one and while i quite liked the looks the interior was gash, didnt handle that well and was SLOW! (and i had a 1.2 dynamique at the time!, it wasnt much slower than the fiesta!) ive never driven a VTR but i done a VTS conversion to a 1.4 saxo for a mate and...

seems to be spanish so it probably is real all fukin nutters over there

is that a spounge i see? nasty....

inside the car, pop the trim pannel off, theres a connector, unplug it now remove the 3 torx screws holding the mirror on and remove the mirror. the glass then pops out, i just used a screw driver to do it if i remember correctly (been a while!) you can then un clip the mirror plastic cover...

anything other than country id (ie scotland flag, england flag etc) is illegal afaik

i drive my cars hard every second i drive them and get better mpg in my 172 as i did in my 1.2 16v

congrats!! u'll get plenty that tell you it wont handle worth a f**k but ive been there done that (not quite that low though!) and can confirm it still fuckin handles alright!!!

i insured my 1.2 16v for £1500 fully comp in my own name at 17 with pass plus. with direct line go on your own policy its worth the initial big premium to get a big drop after a year with 1yrs ncb. im paying £2500 a year on a 172 at 18 and in march it drops to £1500 with 1years ncb!!

i pay £600-£700 a month to insure and run mine and still love every minute of it lol being 18 sucks lol

i cant see f**k all with mine either, my 1.2 16v was much better with upgraded bulbs and that was lowered -90mm lol i rarely ever used full beam on that, but always flicking it on and off on the 172

lol knob end garage who refused it under warranty told me it was a renault only part!! this the part from GSF.... Part Number: R93000 Description: Lambda Probe Fitment: Renault All Excl. espace v6 Price: £42.50 cheers :)

not noticed one single bit of difference in the 172 but used to notice a difference in my 1.2 16v for some reason? probably because im to busy thinking s**t i cant get traction!!

the thing ive noticed about both my clios is you get really bored of them in the winter because you forget just how hard you can corner in them! so to try and get a bit of enjoyment you nail them on the straights which gets boring after a couple of days but once summer comes back arround and you...
