about £50 a side from renault, bilstein OE are a bit cheaper than that from euro car parts i beleive thats what ive got on the derv

ive got T1-R's on the DCi, they are no eagle F1 but they are a good bit cheaper, considering they are priced as a budget tyre they are brilliant! on my 172 i used F1's religiously and i would still use them if i still had it.

how do you compair it to the VTR performance wise? i find my car is pretty much on par with standard VTS's and my mrs 1.6 16v isnt a million miles behind compaired to mine so i take it its a bit quicker than the VTR? bit less torquey than the wee 8v lump low down?

sure it does ;) lol

lol screw that a 172 will still average mid 20's when driven hard, even my old one wouldnt drop under 20mpg when driven hard., if i was driving something that got 20mpg id want something genuinely fast.

wheres this 182 replica? lol

mate its a 110bhp car its not even a warm hatch!!! my 172 would average mid 30's when driven normally and i dont mean slow i just mean normally flowing with traffic, driven hard it would still get low 20's when really going for it i got better mpg from the 172 than the 1.6 gets driven the...

yes. my mrs averages 36mpg and she drives like a gimp!

my mrs has a minter 53 plate with climate, traction control, cruise control, electric everything, full cabasse setup with 6 disk changer get the resonator off it and just put a straight feed to the battery tray area, sounds mental, stick a laguna F4R throttle body on it, decat and manifold...

show cages are a pointless way to add weight!

id like an MS Design for it but like you said they never pop up! its getting there slowly, yeah nice torquey wee thing no mate ill try and get some though yellow fogs are getting to me im not 100% on them, just dont know if i want to remove them or not, i think theres too much going on at...

yeah it goes well, 130bhp isnt much but when it boosts and gives you 190lb/ft coming in from 1300rpm in 4th gear it shifts not to bad!!

dont get me wrong if i was going for a blast the 172 would be my car of choice but the thing about the dci is you still have genuine overtaking power and useable power from 30mph in 5th gear with no fuss like you have with the 172 when you need to use the full rev range (which is the attraction...

much more economical than a 1.8 16v sri vectra LOL!!

gaz, get a dci!!

if you look closely it has a VERY subtle smaller plate that fits the recess and doesnt overhang the bumper like they do as standard. if i can get an rs kit in pearl black ill go for it but not that fussed, it was supposed to be a runabout but its my only car now hence why its been getting some...

thats what i done then sold my 190bhp 172 and remaped the dci, granted its no where near as fast straight line but still massively capable and mega fun to drive with the sportlines on it, dont regret selling the 172!

not sure on the RS grill it will only get one if it gets the full RS kit!

few updated pics, not convinced with the yellow fogs yet, thinking of removing them, im in two minds, what does everyone think?

diesel torque is where its at anyway

dci power :D:D i get that fuel economy plus 130bhp/190lb/ft :)

mint i love my mapped 100, the 4th gear pull mid range is awesome! i found at 30mph in 5th gear as standard it was borderline undrivable always used 4th as it wasnt smooth at all, now its fine and you can easily overtake in 5th gear.

and how many thousand JB1, JB3 and JC5 boxes have been changed on cars under 30k miles?! ive change loads of J Series renault boxes and never any others!

mine got on my tits but it was decatted, personally if i was to go back id keep standard system and decat it to give it a little rasp!

have you owned or driven one or has a gelous dci 65/80 owner let you beleive this because they dont own a 100 ;)

like your car! your english is much better than my spanish!

this will give you a bit more info http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/how_to/4212608.html the plugs are 72k or 3 years i beleive? happened to my mates 172 we got a local engineering place to helicoil it, only cost about £30 from memory!

get a helicoil insert in the head plug 3 by any chance? common fault this is why they should be torqued up when changed!

lol i waited for this for months then gave up and sold the car so i could just buy something faster as i didnt want itbs or chargers im a standard ecu man!
