not worth getting it from renault you will likely be cheaper to get a custom stainless steel replacement or even a full aftermarket exhaust system made up.

wow freds V6 looks awesome! Not to keen on the silver grill on the 172 giles you need to go -60mm with the suspension :D

i dont know if its true or what they would change to get it, but 205bhp i would think is pretty easy. its a revised version of the 172/182 engine, which gets to 200bhp with not to much hastle but you seem to hit a brick wall there and need to pile a load of money in for any decent gains after that

done the dog bone before. car up on axel stands, trolley jack to hold the wait of the engine, replace mount (2 bolts, cant remember size) - job done :) maby worth getting k-tec dogbone mount inserts/bushes while your at it?

cheers mate, forgot i had posted this. done it today and found it easyer just to put a screw driver up the wee hole on the bottom of it and unclip it from there. didnt manage to get any colourcoded ones today tho :(

ive got the -60mm apex kit and the ride is harsh but i like it that way, infact i dont even notice it being that harsh now untill someone gets in n says "fukin hell!" every time i hit a small bump lol

i like that in the first 2 photos not keen on the back but doesnt look to bad from the front to be honest, seen a lot LOT worse! good work, colour looks brilliant, and the paint quality in general.

hi, anyone know how you get the plastic cover off the back of the wingmirror on MK2 clios? going to the scrappys to get some colourcoded ones but dont know how they come off. cheers

clio would be simmilar to 60, suspension mods and stripped and you have a 900kg car with similar/better handling than a 172/182, a capable car for what it is

sorry to hear it mate, looks like a mint car :( does that blue one have turinis on it? lol

is there much difference at all between a sports cat and decat performance wise (forget about price)

lol a golf 1.6 fsi and hes taking the piss out you? you dont need a 2.0 conversion to "beat" him, just get some good suspension. bet my 1.2 16v would kill his golf with just suspension & brake mods.

think they have about 250bhp standard, correct me if im wrong. but once you count the 4WD Power losses and extra weight...

never driven one but notice they seem to die in 5th so untill 110mph i think the redline is in 4th they are rapid then still keep going but just not so fast, same with most cars tho i suppose

if its so slow how come i managed to pull out infront of our jock when he was going right the way round the roundabout?! eh son ;) i cant have been that far behind! but seriously check out ma msn name "i want a 2.0 16v conversion now!!" lol love it, just feels a bit high n bouncey for my...

strip the backseats out, light weight buckets, apex -60mm suspension kit, brembo disks and uprated pads (im using greenstuff) keep the 15" wheels and get some good tyres (eagle F1s or yokos maby) if you want to do engine mods then go for a catback exhaust with sports cat, pannel filter, remap...

its because most of the guys have actually bought them for this price they are trying to get rid of them before the word gets about that their a lot cheaper from renault now

side bumpstrips dont make any difference performance wise, get them off ;) :D im desperate lol

theres a pannel under the dials (just above the cup holders) it pulls off (pull/slide it towards you) i found that the wires from my headunit had dropped down behind the heaters and jammed one of the dials, maby something simmilar has happened with yours, just play about untill you can move it...

Ill take the colourcoded door bumpstrips with the smooth badges, can i use my standard 16v badges tho if i dont like the smooth one or has the badge been smothed into the strip so its all one piece? also ill take the engine cover if your willing to sell it, my one has snapped clips but most of...

some i have, dont know whos they are...

oh aye forgot to say that ally and 2 others have roof racks on theirs for their bikes.

dont worry about it mate, ive drove a 53 plate 1.2 16v SXI and it was a complete heap, the clutch was about as light as my accelerator pedal, couldnt use it smoothly the dashboard was made of cheap plastic and it was boring to drive, it didnt seem to pull any harder as it got up the revs just...

i dont have a 172, got a 1.2 16v but the actual car its self is similar.. driving position is fine for me, seats are brilliant, really hold you, and adjustable head rests are nice! it rattled slightly, worst part being the sunroof which a 172/182 doesnt have so thats a bonus. although my...

seen a silver 172 cup with a bird driving it, going past the falkirk wheel i was just pulling onto the roundabout. anyone from here?

do you mean the centre console bit? theres 2 clips just down at the wee vent where the air comes out at the side, one on each side, just pull it and it pops off, easy.

dont lower it on the cheap you'll regret it, save a bit for a decent kit or atleast get some good quality springs then change the dampers when you can afford to.

cheers mate ill give it a go. does lowering the car put added strain on them?

im getting a loud humming that seems to start about 40mph, sounds to me like it could be a wheel bearing, only noticed it starting today. any advice on how to work out what side/wheel its coming from? should they be replaced in pairs? how much do they cost? whats needed to fit them? sorry for...
