you cant afford to run it but you can afford the £3k+ bill to convert it? ill quite happily put a 2.0 16v in a non RS car for someone if they wanted me to but convert something to a dci, thats asking for trouble i wouldnt touch it!

if your going to spend £££ in the first place on a car then yes its worth paying a bit more than average too get one already done if your into standard cars and find a minter, the perfect car then its worth getting it cheap as possible to buy the bits needed to get it back to standard

sports suspension package was fitted on all Dynamique cars with the 1.4 16v, 1.6 16v, and DCi models ive driven cars equipped with the "sports suspension package" and then driven the same car with eibachs fitted and their is a difference, however the eibachs in my opinion arnt a great match...

possible to be the cable but doubt it due to the fact this is a real common problem on them. cables are ok on them they just snap all the time lol.

standard brakes arnt that bad. suspension again isnt to bad set of 2nd hand springs from a 172/182 and it would be fine untill you get around to doing the suspension properly

VVT disengages after 7200rpm which is why your power is dropping like a stone. reason your not noticing it in first and 2nd is because the car has little resistence so will still rev that high without you noticing the drop

dci 100 is the one to go for, 65 means u get the colour and spec u want due to being less rare, 80 is a compromise of both and 100 is a case of take what you get!

if thats straight id snap it up ive got the same car but mine has climate, electric sunroof and xenons. and i paid £3.8k for a minter. i made the swap from a 190bhp 172 and dont really miss it! 130bhp/190lbft ftw!!

the cars of the future

i get loans for everything im ticked up to the eyeballs

lol it was a good bit better than the 100 is!

if you have a good budget get a 100 but they hold their value. 80's again hold their value quite well but are a bit more common 65's if your looking for a cheap runabout, not fast but plenty of torque so dont give you that horrible slow feeling the 1.2's do

after a google search...

hope that wasnt one of our lot in the clio lol

i had Bilstein coils on the 172 too for the last part of ownership, they were just at a sensible height for driving. the FK's on the 1.2 were brilliant on a smooth road, infact you couldnt really go fast enough to corner "too fast!" on a bumpy road they wernt great but that wasnt the coilover...

3rd RR Graph is really interesting with the flat spot gone at 3k revs, im trying to work out why and i just cant work out what could cause it and what would have sorted it. initially i thought it could have been the decat but then i noticed 1. it done it before the decat was fitted and 2. you...

go for it, bet you dont have the balls ;)

dci 65 has DCi in silver and has a turbo dci 80 has DC in silver and i in blue, has better injectors and a front mount intercooler dci 100 has D in silver Ci in blue, same 80 injectors, runs 200psi more fuel pressure, bigger turbo, more efficient but smaller intercooler, has a different bottom...

look what ive started lol looks really clean mate, theres so many of them out there that are completely imaculate with high milage that go for pennies, my old 65 was completely mint inside, bit rough on the outside but nothing that tlc wudnt sort out.

yeah started out as a 100, 0-60 bit slower than a 1.6 16v, over 80 its quicker than one, over 100 its a good bit quicker!

but you dont have the standard manifold do you? i thought u had bodies or carbs yes they weight 200kg more than a 172 lol they only weigh 1000kg

lol so ive heard, cant wait to see it! it went extremely well lol ECU Remap, filter and thats all, waiting on a better intercooler coming for it, so far 130bhp 190lb/ft hard one. the 1.2 was my first car loved every minute of that the 172 was extremely quick, handled brilliantly...

that bonnet is the tits

my mate has a C20LET one, its pulling its self apart lol

been looking thru my old pics, quite emotional!! 1.2 16v the 188bhp 172 160k miles dci65 at wales wrc08 dci130 :)

ive found them fine, they are perfect for non xenon equiped cars a nice match. better off removing the sidelight bulbs anyway if you have xenons thats how we've all been rolling for years!!

cheers for that matey that clears a few things up :)

my old 1200 sounded mental with my system lol listen to the bang on the downshift into 2nd Xus5V89HUjo

1500kg lol!!!! what you got in your car to give it an extra 500kg!

i was under the impression longer was bad for torque or have i picked it up wrong and its just a case of TOO long is bad for torque?
