£2500 will get you a minter thats had its belts done. see my project log i paid that for mine

is it 182 ones that dont fit, i know their is some difference with the breather on one of the models?

as above :) cheers

yeah it could do with a bit more, the long term plan is to 16v it but for now hes happy with it. was a bit skitish for liftoff oversteer but now its extremely grippy, id go as far as saying it has more grip than the ek9!!

exactly the weight kills it, hence why the twingo with "only" 130bhp is a riot. people laugh when i say how genuinely quick my dci 100 is but the twingo is a perfect example. my car weighs 980kg with around 125-130bhp so just under the twingo yet 190lb/ft of torque!

keeping in mind christopher is coming from a 182 into a 1200kg 130bhp car, its never going to feel quick

doesn't it use the 197 box?

yes and im lucky i lived to be fair! they were ok in the dry but dangerous in the wet, i cant stress how bad they were, my dci 65 with cheap £15 a corner tyres had more grip in the wet.

my mate is making a thread up on one of the owners clubs, ill get the link off him tomorrowi think its all still there for now

yep thats the one, still in the same spec really apart from new bilstein dampers all round as the old ones were getting a bit tired and a set of Advan A048 tyres, you would not beleive the grip it has with them on it lol valve stem oil seals are gone on it too so hes got a full gasket and seal...

being honest all petrol mk2 clios are completely shite on fuel, infact the 172 is the only one that is surprizingly good, i took my 172 to work the other day a 30 mile drive of part motorway, part b roads and wasnt driving hard yet wasnt really holding back and averaged 38mpg! my 100 however...

ahh thats cool cheers!

cool you got any other pictures of it you could pm or email me my mate would probably like to see them! its a beast i love it

my fully loaded dci has more luxurys than a bottom end bmw ;) lol

have you tested the new 205bhp engine yet? thoughts on it? assuming its just got the road 200's cylinder head?

was my mates, i just got the good job of breaking it lol bought it back from the insurance company for £400

its my mates engines for sale as is everything else, shell being scrapped. dont beleive how much all the parts go for, engine, box, ecu and wiring goes for about £2500 lol

rolled, roof and a pillar done in, i chopped the slam pannel off with an angle grinder to get the engine out lol

if your getting 55mpg in a 1.2 u will get 40mpg in a 172 1.2 16vs are terrible on fuel u wont be that much worse

was once a minter... now shes gone! away to the scrapyard in the sky!

new inlet setup must make a nice difference then, older k4m's dont rev very well!

whats the rev limiter on them?

assuming your vvt comment is a joke? lol

body roll isnt a bad thing though as long as its controlled, my standard 100 used to have quite a bit of body roll but it was controlled and still had plenty grip. people seem to think that because a car has bodyroll it doesnt handle.

i seriously doubt that, ive never driven a GT but im assuming its a bit better than Dyn S models, i had a shot of a 1.6 16v Dyn S and it handled brilliant for a standard car, it was more planted than a standard 172!

phase 1 172 would be my choice, much rawer than the ph2 cars i love mine same weight as the cup or their abouts, still get the luxury of half leather and air con, smaller 15" wheels make it handle better and make it more fun and chuckable, plus tyres are cheaper to go! plus £2500 buys you a...

in a GT, you can get anything u want if u ask the right people

next time ive got mine at work ill park beside it and we can be ph1 buddies!

they whistle when they are about to fall off or mine did anyway lol
