Think its going to be the GDI just cant decide between the Stealth or recessed!! i think the recessed looks awesome but if i want to sell the car standard its not ideal! but no plans for selling any time soon so suppose thats ok! any reviews on it?

it already has lol its been off twice and been back under warranty already had a new backbox and a new centre section! its got a patern part centre section, not a genuine one and its even worse, doesnt fit properly etc!! really not sure what i want, gibson172 has a custom from motorsport world...

Looking for some good pics both closeup and from distance of the new style renault sport badges on 172/182's as ive just ordered mine and want to make sure i get it perfect when placing it! cheers

i used to get pulled constantly in my dynamique with decated stainless system and coilovers and its brilliant now that i can just drive where i need to go with no hastle in the 172! doesnt help that i look about 15 lol

tbh your not more likely to get pulled by the police in a 172 than you are in a 1.2, its not like its a subaru or something that sticks out, most people cant even tell the difference. i had mine for 5 months and my mum didnt even question it untill she had a shot of it because it felt powerfull...

My 1.2 was the only one ive saw that didnt have mayo on the oil filler cap, even our driving school ones had it and they run for hours on end!

my exhaust is blowing again, had enough so its time for a change so what to get?! ive got about £400 to spend for a cat back, going to order it tomorrow hopefully! it cant be overly loud as they days for me are passed lol i was looking at the k-tec stealth mk2 but heard they sound crap...

na its well out the way but even when you put the cables through it its still well sealed, ive got my sub power cable running through it and its pretty thich! it took me about an hour to get it through its a bit of a b*****d but u'll get there eventually LOL!

cant see how could that cause the clutch and gearbox to go? or am i missing something?

not sure about the 172 but when i had my 1.2 i had the polly bushes in the lower gearbox mount for 10,000 hard miles and the top mounts were fine after that (and they had done 140k!)

ive got no problem in the dry with mine unless you hit a bump in the road. thats using F1 GSD-3's

yep theres a big load of them they all sit in a lay-by sometimes untill 3-4am with their VTR's and Zetec-S fiestas couple of MG ZR's and the funny part is they ALL have they cheap ebay headlight bulbs, sorry xenons! as soon as a fast car goes past they all race out the lay-by after it!

got a fair few here too most of which try to race me, i dont bother as ive got better things to do, and then i still hear the storys about how that guy apparently "smoked" me as the local "car crew" like to call it these days about here

i had been driving for about 6 months when i got mine, i understood the basic do's and dont's when driving quickly, you dont lift off in a bend u dont brake in a bend you dont drive quick in the wet etc and by sticking to they rules i was able to drive quick enough to have plenty fun without...

because theirs to many imature people out there that think because they have a fast car means all year round whatever the condition they can "race" all im saying is dont tar us all with the same brush, if you screw the head u'll be fine. i knew fine well being only insured 3rd party if i...

im asuming your refering to 17yr olds when you say "children", i survived being 17 in my 172 no problem infact i dont find myself in any more danger in my 172 than i was in my 1.2 as i know when its safe to drive enthusiastic and when its not, infact in normal driving its basically the same car...

i got mine at 17 when i had 0ncb, i bit the bullet, took the hit and insured it in my name with admiral for £2500 3rd party fire and theft renewing it next month with 1years ncb for £1200 fully comp :) its worth taking the huge hit for the sake of getting yourself 1 or 2 years ncb!

run them through the bonnet release cable grommet in the passengers side footwell (look up the back of the dashboard behind the glovebox, its tricky to get to but possible) under the bonnet remove the coolant resoivar(sp?!) then the sound deadning behind it and you should be able to get to it...

i raced one in my 172, the extra torque out roundabouts was noticeable but once i got going there was nothing in it untill 80-90mph really

im on my 5th set in teh last year and a half! i actually get more fun driving in the wet because im always amazed at how much grip i get, i was nearly on 3 wheels lastnight in the wet going round a fast sweeping bend at 125 lol

koni adjustables are spot on dont know about the cheaper kits though. i had both Apex -60mm kit and FK Konigsport Coilovers on mine and loved both, coilovers were awesome but not worth the extra money handling wise, i just liked the lowered 90mm look lol

oft its still 40k short of what my 02 plate had 2 years ago ;) good effort though! like the exhaust btw!

lol i remember when mine first went someone on here told me id have to cut a hole in my bonnet and get a new bonnet. after 20 minutes of fiddling about i had my hand up the back of the bumper and poped it open with a screwdriver!

my 172 gets better mpg than my old 1.2 16v clio. del sol is rather gay, my mate has one with exhaust, decat, induction kit etc and while it sounds brilliant its not as quick as my standard 172 especially low down with the lack of torque being a 1.6

we have a 172 ;)

looks good, id get a set of PIAA platinum sidelights from ebay though, highly recomended by me, used them in all my clios. much better than philips bluevision that i had before.

cup dampers are uprated you could use them. ive used apex and they are ok on a budget but not great, used koni adjustables and they were spot on liked being able to adjust them. but tbh id stay standard, im going for another set of standards when replacing mine

was behind a silver mk1 172 today with an exhaust didnt have a CS sticker though. anyone from here?

aye standard ride height by the looks of it, seen it about a year ago so its been flying about falkirk for a while but must not be on here.

they ones are ok ive fitted a few, they are apparently rebadged old pioneer stock without the removable face, and if youve ever seen or fitted one of the pioneer motorized ones you'l soon see for yourself, look identical apart from the facia and different GUI earth the handbrake connector and...
