ohh i like that, best colour too hehe. wheels look quite good on it. is that a k-tec carbon fibre splitter? any close up pics? cheers

i have pollys on my 1.2 and it made a massive difference, i thought it had a responsive feel to it untill i fitted them, theres no play at all and imo it didnt feel too hard. and polly bushes WONT wear out quicker than rubber ones?!

bump anyone?

40mm prings wont damage the standard dampers much quicker than standard springs, especially on the motorway where its smoother!

i thought i liked it then i saw that horrible grille. put me off! sits well tho on coilovers how does it handle.

Black 182 behind me in stirling when i came out the carpark today and a silver one beside me at the same time hehe, guy in the black one flashed and wasnt sure if he was flashing at the silver car because it was his mate or me because i was in the 172 so after a wee thought about it i flashed my...

my old one was RR'd at 82bhp at the fly, but we all know how pish RR's are it had stainless cat back, decat, ITG Pannel Filter & Vpower with Octain booster haha was quick for what it was but still fukin slow compaired to my 172, handled well too but the shitty electric power steering was pish...

looks fine to me, thats a simmilar idea to what i done with my 1.2 16v airbox when i had it. except i ran the cold air feed to the standard location but used a slightly wider one.

i drive with my xenons on all the time! lol

i wanted to buy a valver and wide track it for a wee project but cant afford now that ive got the 172, might when i get the 1.2 away, but was thinking about a dci to get to work and back. hmmm got me thinking now lol

i couldnt go back to a 1.2 16v you need to nail f**k out them to get them to go anywhere, i used to get 220miles to a tank of petrol (£45) in mine, 172 gets 400+ when i drive it carefully or the same 220miles-ish when i hammer it so really its much better as you cant drive the 1.2 carfull its to...

Motorsport World in glasgow there a powerflow dealer they done my 1.2 16v exhaust and its brilliant, sounds brilliant and very well done. loads of us use them.

my 1.2 16v hit peak power at 5450rpm or there abouts. i found it best to change at 5700rpm. anything over and it droped off the power too much, anything under and it didnt pull hard enough in the next gear.

personally i wouldnt bother with an 8v one, especially when your used to a 182. when i get into my 1.2 16v from the 172 i cant beleive how slow it is, its scarey!! feels dangerous but it handles s**t hot compaired to the 172 lol

i would if i knew who he was lol

the problems eather been the lorrys been badly loaded, the drivers not put his cover on properly (or not put it on at all!) or its been a rock jammed between the wheels thats came flying out. im thinking its possibly the wheels due the way it came flying at the car (the roads quite wide and...

was just driving along on the way to work in my new 172 when i heard a massive bang, look in my mirror to see a lorry go past and my bump strip fly up in the air, got out for a look, a rock came flying off the lorry and hit the side of my car!!! car needs front and rear bumpstrip on drivers...

mine just made a small bang when i pulled away nothing else which i thought was weird then one day it just went!

clio 16v & diesel, surely they are 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and dci springs?

roller bearing came off on my passengers side one, roller pins went into the box, locked it, snapped lower dogbone mount out the gearbox, ripped the flexi off. needed... new gearbox new driveshaft new gearbox mount gearbox oil new cat done the work myself to save labour but parts alone were...

i wouldnt try that they have plastic on the inside lol they dont come appart like some cars, ive used some of the suggestions above tho

thats the thing that used to have 17's on it, CS stickers on both sides but hes not a member anymore (sold it to someone else, current owner) i think

well im VERY impressed with the FK's on the 1.2, there the adjustable damping ones and got them set quite hard and on most roads its perfect it has zero body roll! down a backroad it feels much more fun than the 172 but thats possibly the race car feel you get from the 1.2 lol sparks flying out...

i had apex on my 1.2 (springs and dampers) and they were awesome, nearly as good as my FK Silverline X Coilovers with adjustable konis! my standard 172 is all over the place compaired to my 1.2 dropped 80mm on FK's the back end is so unpredictable, i feel i cant lift off coming upto...

ive got 2 cars, a standard mk2 172 and a coilovered 1200 dynamique. in all honestly my dynamique is more fun!

right thats me got a list of stuff to check and try now lol. tyre preassures first, then lazer aligned then if its still a problem, Sportlines, if not then back to coilovers lol. really didnt want to mod this car eather!!!

it just doesnt feel planted on the road, feels like it weighs about 850kg lol wasnt sure if it was due to a heavyer front end giving me this feeling? its a weird feeling but HAS seems to understand it. it just doesnt give me any fun, just raced an STi uk impreza and kept up well with it but...

not for lazer tracking its not ^ it wont look half as good on the 15" dynamique wheels, but will swap them over to give it a go to see how it goes

for 2 years ive had my 1.2 16v clio, spent loads and loads on it and always drive it to the limit every time i drive it. and ive never once got bored of it (just always wanted more power, but always enjoyed driving it) a week and a half ago i got my mk2 172 in iceberg silver, I love the way it...

in all honesty, the problem is exactly the same problem ive experianced with the 1.2, 16" wheels. it tramlines too much, i dont like a car that tramlines at 130mph! thats why my turinis were only on my 1.2 for a couple of weeks then back to 15" wheels.
