when i used to hammer f**k out my 1.2 16v all the time i got 280 miles to a tank of petrol, the 172 gets 250 miles to a tank driving it the same so its not any worse on petrol tbh, infact i get better mpg around town in my 172 than i did in my 1.2 anyone know if anyones remaped one of these...

cheers pal, looks good in iceberg doesnt it ;) haha

like the paint job.

my old one before the coilovers, was on apex-60mm kit at this time....

as long as my car has clean oil im happy....

front needs go to a couple of mm lower :D

ive got standard airbox and ITG pannel filter and removed the acoustic valve to get some more noise, sounds as good as a cone filter but cost me nothing! (well the ITG i had to buy but would sound the same with a standard filter!)

you know it makes sense....

doesnt look any lower? will settle a bit over time though, mine did

cheers mate thats perfect, what else do i need to get it running? dont i need a different plug?

they dont advise you to use one grade and use a different, they tell you exactly what grade(s) of oil is acceptable for the engine and they use it, as long as its of the recomended spec its fine. renault service your car to THEIR specification, if you want to have it serviced differently take...

no need for that. as edde said they stamp your service book and use the oil specified by renault, at the end of the day it was them who designed your engine, they wont use 10w40 if they dont think its up to the job for such a "high performance" engine. im all for using decent oil, i used...

noticed mine starting to knock and bang in 3rd gear as it scrambles for traction when overtaking! had one of our MK3 1.2 16v's sideways tonight on a big roundabout

considering silvers boring i love iceberg, i had to buy mine after seeing it under the showroom lights! but my favourite would have to be Racing Blue i think

lol that pic minds me of last year in my "carpark days" when we all had the same sidelight bulbs lol looks 10x better with the new grill mate, as said B16......

so ive got my pc polisher sitting beside me with pads etc but just dont know what i need on the electrical side of things, the links in the import guide apear to be dead! ive had a look on maplin for similar stuff but dont want to get the wrong thing!! anyone got any links to what i need? cheers

what makes the 1.8 better to turbo over the 2.0? shorter stroke over the 2.0?

well afaik the car will display a warning light if it records a fault, so if you dont have a light on the dash the car doesnt think there is a fault, so nothing to record for the clip to read but i may be wrong?

is it running a 1.8 or 2.0? looks awesome!!

Yep FK Konigsport Silverline X coilovers the adjustable damping ones with the koni dampers, handled superb especially once the polly bushes were on it, but not a million miles better than the 172 with eibach sportlines with standard dampers and bushes

i had mine slammed on its arse and it handled really well once it had been set up, then i went on a mad handling mission and raised it a bit hand had it set up again and it handled much better on rough roads but not much different on smooth roads (or a track!)

i seee ;) wish i had converted mine but didnt/dont have the time anymore :( h&rs go just as low as FK's or there about i think... heres my old one... back maxed out on 195/45/15

H&R's for a 1.2 8v? isnt that a bit excessive? lol

at least -60mm but id say 80mm or more!

just had same problem on mine as your experiancing just back from renault and it was the "upstream 02 sensor"

incase anyone else has this problem, just had it into renault under warranty, it was the upstream 02 sensor, all sorted and working now!

lol @ dog raped, i got "dog Raped" off an evo tonight! the 106's are surprizingly quick for a 1.6, well never raced one but have raced a VTS

cheers guys!

you will need the clio adaptor plate. it only fits a clio, think k-tec sell them seperate. induction kits r crap on the 1.2 16v dont make much noise and make it slower lol
