my expression seats were like that, couldnt be arsed cleaning them because they still look horrible clean or dirty lol so i got a full dynamique one lol. airbag light will 99% be the wires under the seat, and check to make sure the airbag is turned on (passengers side door, put the key in...

hahahahahahaha where do i get a "guard bird"

i had Apex springs and dampers on my 1.2 and my FK Silverline X coilovers are only very slightly better.

tell them f**k all lol

172 or 1.2?

thinking of getting them just to drop it slightly and firm it up a bit, but want to put 15's on it like the 1.2 because i hate the handling on 16s but dont want to ruin the looks! because 15s only look good when its slammed. without 15s and firmer dampers its never going to handle like the wee...

how much your rear beam cost you (i assume its brand new from renault) or did just just paint it and fit new disks?

not sure mate i fancy it but amused with my 172 for now lol just need to get the 1.2 running aswell as it sounds like a pile of pish with the burst flexi

yeah lol, might try and promise myself i can only mod it if i pay it off early!

think its staying standard (who am i kidding! lol) although i love my 1.2 its really been a waste of money when i think i could have probably bought the 172 in cash if i had saved the money i spent modding!

another 1.2 cup, nice to see it. too many doors tho hehe scrubs up well right enough!

just had the coilover'd 1.2 out and now im thinking am i making the right descision? the wee thing just went round a bend at 110 then slowed to 70 for a roundabout lol with the exhaust poping and banging. im not sure im doing the right thing now!

yeah i rung them up for it, and they were fine with it, no laughing at me, infact the guy on the phone was brilliant. and nope thats not on my dads name, car and policy in my name with only my mum as a named driver as it brought it down £500, probably if i had payed it monthly it wud have...

free, do it urself lol! not sure how much work it is on a 2.0 as ive never worked on one but i done my 1.2 one but its just a silly wee single cam thing lol

burst the flexy pipe on my downpipe/cat on my 1200 16v AGAIN 2nd time in 3 months, using an uprated lower mount to minimise engine movement so dont know whats causing it other than the exhaust catching the odd speedbump or 2. but i noticed the newer euro4 1.2 16v engines phased in arround 2004...

any custom exhaust place really.

just had a call from the garage saying when they done the health check on the car the front brake pads were quite low so there changing from pads, front disks and rear pads for me. and its just had its oil and filter change. the insurance was with admiral, payed up front in a 1 off payment so...

lol i hate the 8v ones, they dont get faster up the revs there just always slow, although i like the cable throttle on them lol. my wee 1200 is a quick one compaired to other ones, once u get it going its not bad but trying to get it there is poor even when its got no seats etc in it lol. i...

i payed £1200 this year on my 1.2 16v lol got my 1 years driving experiance and it dropped a good bit. its 3rd party fire & theft, and i payed it all up front so no interest on it. as for only being 18, thats not really a problem, im not an idiot of a driver on the road, ive had a year and a...

im so happy, bought a Iceberg Silver MK2 172 lastnight, 2003 model with 24k on the clock, serviced by renault at 12k and 21k, garage is doing an oil and filter change for me though before i pick it up, 1 years warranty, 1 years mot, 1 years free servicing. just insured it for £1500 a year...

yep its a dealer, a toyota dealer at that. what year did they start adding cruise control and esp?

from outside the showroom it looks 100% mint, might try for 7k & A free service, will see how it goes!

going to look at a iceberg silver mk2 172 tomorrow with 24k on the clock and was wondering what to look out for? its a 2003 03 plate. whats the cambelt on these due at, 5yrs 72k? i know about the banging in first n 2nd gear and know thats not a big problem as ive fixed one before with the...

£500-£1000 depending on how you do it... not much less needs changed on this conversion than you would do on a 2.0 conversion! not worth it for the extra 20bhp (1.6 would be the one to go for if you didnt want a 2.0 since its just the same as the 1.4 really but with 10bhp and more torque...

lol wouldnt outrun it, well down a backroad it would outrun or atleast stay with a standard 172 (well not sure about mk1 172 never driven one!) straightline it wouldnt be that quick but would be fun! anyone got any idea how much power it would run with arround 20psi of boost? how do you adjust...

172 engines been done, no one as far as i know has supercharged the 1.2 16v. i love how lightweight the car/ engine is, f**k i even lifted my new engine into the back of a van myself once the gearbox was removed! imo my car has just enough power to have loads of fun down a backroad and it...

ive been though loads of different set ups on my engines and found out the following... k-tecs relocation kit is the worst for power, it sucks in hot air from the radiator, the inlet length is FAR to long so the engine looses torque. pulling away on a hot day is really bad, car judders due to...

bends look piss poor id change it for something else if your planning to keep it, does it sound ok or dodgey?

look at the first shape mini, everyone had one, they were far from rare, cheap to buy and run and id class a good nick one as a classic these days! imo yes the clios will become classics. if i was to win the lottery i know id collect hot hatches and buy every single hot hatch that was ever...
