its a lovely looking car, love the interior but being troothfully honest, its not as fun as my 1.2, i dont have half as much fun as i do in the 1.2. im paying thousands of pounds a year extra for less fun?

cheers, still got the wee 1.2 its staying, i still love driving it lol all that noise and poping lol it makes ur ears bleed, 172 is just nice and standard and QUIET!! lol might get the inlets matched, panel filter and remap but thats all, no noisy mods or harsh ride mods!

might bring it along to meets but im pretty skint this month due to paying the deposit on the car, paying off my insurance in 1 payment and going on holiday all in one month!!!! got it for £6800 with 24k on the clock, new front and rear brakes, oil and filter change (was serviced early at 21k)...

Heres some quick pics of my new Iceberg MK2 172 that i got last week. Overall im VERY happy with it, looks brilliant, drives brilliant, pretty quick and love the interior. think this ones staying standard-ish apart from the ICE as im really not impressed with it! so thinking of getting a new...

hmmm 172's arnt too bad on insurance! mine is only £300 more than my 1.2!

i wouldnt bother, i went from my 1.2 16v to my 172 and to me it doesnt feel THAT much faster, it handles really well, but so do standard 1.2 16v's so even at that its not a night and day difference. when i go back and take my 1.2 a blast it doesnt feel slow, i only notice the lack of torque, i...

my mate has the older style starlet gtt with only exhaust and filter mods and my 172 is quite a bit quicker, (especially over 80mph) plus as standard there limited to 110mph or there about. and my 172 handles better, mine is standard his is on trd springs and uprated dampers. if the glanza is...

lol just need to set it up properly, i used to keep up with GTT starlets, Saxo VTR's etc down backroads in mine lol

Saw a Iceberg Silver MK2 172 sitting at falkirk retail park lastweek, said to my bird "id love one in that colour" as we caught every speedbump in the 1.2 a week later and i spot it again as i park my shiney new iceberg silver 172 beside it :D:D anyone from here? would have flyer'd it if i...

left for dust in a 1.2 lol only reason my 1.2 was fun was because it was so fukin loud poping and banging and about 2cm from the ground! handles like f**k and sounds the part, just really fukin slow

is it just a case of swaping over the turbo, exhaust manifold, ecu, inlet manifold, and a couple of other bits to my old 1.2 and its a conversion lol

around town you wont notice a difference infact the 8v feels a bit quicker due to cable throttle being more responsive and better low down torque. over 3,000rpm tho the 16v is quicker, i love my little 1.2 16v even now that im used to the 2.0 16v 172

we talking 16v turbo here or n/a 16v?

i hate these ph4 things, ph2 was the nicest mk2 dynamique they done. dont like the front or back lights or drums and tints r too dark, wheels dont look to bad not my cuppa tea tho. that the Apex kit you have on it? nice choice, ive got an old apex kit lying about need to get another clio to...

u think ur car rattles lol... try driving my 1.2 dropped 80mm on FK Silverline X coilovers with the koni dampers set fukin hard, Powerflex dogbone & ARB bushes, Powerflex Dogbone mount bushes, Powerflex exhaust mounts. the vibration is mental, ride is very very harsh on main roads, get it...

my own policy, 18, 0 ncb, been driving a year and 2 months, only named driver is my mum who is a driving instructor been driving for 25yrs

my expression seats were like that, couldnt be arsed cleaning them because they still look horrible clean or dirty lol so i got a full dynamique one lol. airbag light will 99% be the wires under the seat, and check to make sure the airbag is turned on (passengers side door, put the key in...

hahahahahahaha where do i get a "guard bird"

i had Apex springs and dampers on my 1.2 and my FK Silverline X coilovers are only very slightly better.

tell them f**k all lol

172 or 1.2?

thinking of getting them just to drop it slightly and firm it up a bit, but want to put 15's on it like the 1.2 because i hate the handling on 16s but dont want to ruin the looks! because 15s only look good when its slammed. without 15s and firmer dampers its never going to handle like the wee...

how much your rear beam cost you (i assume its brand new from renault) or did just just paint it and fit new disks?

not sure mate i fancy it but amused with my 172 for now lol just need to get the 1.2 running aswell as it sounds like a pile of pish with the burst flexi

yeah lol, might try and promise myself i can only mod it if i pay it off early!

think its staying standard (who am i kidding! lol) although i love my 1.2 its really been a waste of money when i think i could have probably bought the 172 in cash if i had saved the money i spent modding!

another 1.2 cup, nice to see it. too many doors tho hehe scrubs up well right enough!

just had the coilover'd 1.2 out and now im thinking am i making the right descision? the wee thing just went round a bend at 110 then slowed to 70 for a roundabout lol with the exhaust poping and banging. im not sure im doing the right thing now!

yeah i rung them up for it, and they were fine with it, no laughing at me, infact the guy on the phone was brilliant. and nope thats not on my dads name, car and policy in my name with only my mum as a named driver as it brought it down £500, probably if i had payed it monthly it wud have...

free, do it urself lol! not sure how much work it is on a 2.0 as ive never worked on one but i done my 1.2 one but its just a silly wee single cam thing lol
