you would be surprized how much difference the 15bhp makes!!! it goes from being just acceptable to being unaceptable!! thats how slow the 60bhp one is, cable throttles good tho lol

my bird talked me into selling her my old dynamique so sold it to her for £800 and she dumped me........ cheers hen i miss that car A LOT! and would take it back anyday

best setup i had on my 1.2 16v was the standard airbox but i cut it open and modified it to allow it to flow more air, K&N Pannel filter and larger, wider CAFgoing to the standard cold air duct behind the front grille (ull see it, it leads to thebattery bit)

never been a fan of crotch rockets myself. i know what you mean about the lack of mid range punch on the clio, when your nailing it they go well but they do feel a bit dead between 4 and 5k, nothing a set of cams cant fix hehe

maby she didnt like the 197? lol

there was a guy selling re worked 172 TB's on ebay with quite a bit of modifiying done but apparently they arn't a restriction and the 90 degree bend on the hose going from TB to airbox is more of a restriction.

we put L plates and my mums driving school sign on the roof of my old coilovered clio lowered about 100mm for falkirk cruise one night was quite funny looking!

gdi demo car has black wheels looks awesome

i was always told 25% transmission loss for FWD and 50% for 4WD as a rough guide?! cant remember who told me that bullshit then? lol

hello from scotland :D i want to go back to magaluf!!!!

bump

who am i kidding i couldnt sell it ;) :D:D

£220 insurance, £180 payment, £200-£300 petrol!

not selling it just coz it got keyed ive been fed up spending loads on it constantly and when someone does that it just pisses u right off! costs me about £700-£800 a month just to run it thats before anything needs done!

yeah i know the feeling mate think ill get shot of it and build a mk1 hybrid or something! was seriously thinking of changing it soon for a 197 cup when my insurance drops in march but not anymore!!

i know, thing is i cant see it being a personal attack because im always bloddy working so dont really do anything to piss anyone off!!! think its getting sold anyway now i just cant afford to keep it mint with stuff like this happening im already struggling!

already having to spend over £1000 on it this month because of tax insurance and service etc all at once but now its going in to get painted to sort out the scratch where someone keyed it im paranoid its going to happen again so thinking about selling it.... 2003 Iceberg Silver 172 33,000...

had my first day off in months yesterday (constantly working 7 days a week just so i can afford the privilage of owning a 172 at 18!!) so spent all day claying, polishing, waxing the 172 and its looking awesome, parked it up in the drive lastnight to be woken up by mum this morning asking if...

my old 1.2 16v dynamique done 140k in 4 years and f**k all went wrong apart from a coil pack. then everything went at once! but tbh my driving just took its toll on it i think! 172 i got at 23k 3yrs old, its now at 32k and nearly 4yrs old and already had the centre section replaced under...

was thinking that but just wasnt sure how much they would be effected. would look pretty cool i think lol

had my old brake calipers on my 1.2 painted silver and painted the 172 ones yellow and already a bit bored and trying to think of ideas and this poped into my head!!! loads of people here have there inlet manifolds and fuel rail covers etc polished up and it looks good, but not saw anyone who...

my old 1.2 clutch got really high then was much better when changed but still high compaired to other cars, you get used to it though and find other cars hard to drive at first lol

never noticed a change in mine still average 24mpg on my daily drives!

when you say the same on all the range does that include the 1.2 16v? ive got a spare engine in my garage from my old 1.2 16v

im running Sportlines on my 172 with standard dampers because i was dissapointed in the handling coming from my Coilover'd 1.2 16v. they make a huge difference it feels much more planted especially at speed. handles just as well as my coilovered car, not quite as planted though but still awesome.

ill give that a go mate how much are they do you know off the top of your head? cheers

dont go 60mm on just springs change the dampers too!

its a weird one, the flat spot thing only happens maby once or twice then its fine so it must be something sensor related since its only happening sometimes and when its cold? wheres edde? lol
