i put £800 coilovers on my 1.2 16v, had them properly setup and was the best mod i done to it!
if you want to go 172 setup you will need hubs, bottom arms, ARB, id run brakes too not sure if you would 100% need to fit them though. possibly more ive missed out but thats all i can think of now...
Re: Friends 18yo daughter
ah right, i knew mine was 18k just wasnt sure about that one! mine goes in on tuesday £160 for an oil filter and air filter change lol ffs
what functionality does it have?
if im right in thinking the megane one has different throttle maps and a boost guage, obviously no boost on the clio but what about the different maps, are they worth having on a 200 or a bit pointless? g meter doesnt interest me lol
Re: Friends 18yo daughter
mk3 DCi's are even more reliable than the MK2's (which are pretty reliable!!)
dynamique or dynamique S spec would be preferable but assuming thats his budget their isnt much chance of getting one! that one looks good though, if its only got 4 stamps in the book then...
lol @ selling due to change in circumstances, more like hes realised it needs a belt change/service and damper refurb and doesnt have £1500 to spare (i have no idea what it costs to rebuild the dampers btw lol)
i think you girls need some driving lessons, i can launch the dci off a wet roundabout no problem without the tinyest bit of wheelspin, and my current front michelins are nearly slicks ;)
lol owning a 172 is like the be all and end all on this place, 172 owners should stop wasting their money on old s**t boxes and move onto the mk3's!!
like your car dude, miss my little black dynamiques! k4m is a good engine shame its so thirsty! lol make sure you use renault or a specialist for...
cracker of an engine in a cracker of a chassis, it would be a weapon especially if you can use an R26 box with LSD?
pitty they sound so dull!! (as most 4cylinder turbocharged cars do!)
AVOID!!!! i fitted a set to a DCi 100 and they were the worst dampers ive ever came across in my life, infact i dont know why koni bothered devaluing their brand by making these. at least bilstein had the right idea with their oem range keeping them black and advertising them as standard...
i had never driven a 182 until aldo from here picked up his 182FF and i was surprized as to how different it felt to a ph2 172, nothing a set of sportlines doesnt sort on the 172 but it did feel more sure footed when carrying huge speeds over a backroad! and that was running budget tyres at the...
1.2 16v 1yr
ph2 172 2yrs
dci65 6 months
dci100 2 years
ph1 172 nearly 2 years still own it though
GT DCi had it from new, now 1yr old - keeping it for a while, best car ive owned!
how do they feel low down compaired to 172/182's? my ph1 eats up ground no problem doing 5k gear changes when just cruising about
surely the gearing makes up for the weight difference a good bit, my mk3 6 speed standard dci 106 with 180lb/ft is quicker than my standard mk2 5 speed dci 100 was...
