na keeping a hold of it, ive got a project lined up for it hehe. its getting standard suspension and exhaust on it for now as my girlfriends insuring it for a year to run about in! but it'll be back dont worry! --------- ill get a 100% side on pic tomorrow for you matey

in a straight line yes, round a backroad no lol k3nnis, nice to see you austrailians get decent sized wheels compaired to our stupid 16's ;) heres a side on pic for you... bland, any excuse to show off pics of my dynamique hehe...

lol once i got used to the 172 when i drive it it feels just as fast (or should i say slow) as the 1.2, its weird. thing is you get bored of a fast car quite quick but you never get bored of a good handling car!

lol naa standard, cheers mate im gradually starting to enjoy it lol love the way it looks and goes just find it kinda boring, just missing the coilovers, loud exhaust, wee wheels and no interior phase i went thru with my last car lol

just a quick question, anyone know if the clio vans use 58mm bolt spacing? dont ask ;) lol cheers

f0xy, yeah original bulbs, they arnt that colour in real life must be my crap camera phone lol gazmar1, near falkirk matey what about urself?

nice one guys, loving both cars, ive got 2 month old FK silverline X coilovers sitting in my shed doing nothing, looking at they pics makes me want another clio to put them to use!

since it was a nice day yesterday gave it a wash, clay and wax. couldnt be bothered polishing it as ive got a pc polisher sitting with no transformer or cable etc yet so wasnt doing it by hand LOL has hardly any swirls anyway! Poor quality pics i know! The monster lurking down the...

made it myself, cut old cat open smashed internals out then welded it back up. ali, yeah there slow as s**t, but i never had any money issues when i had it so thinking about puting up with it again haha

i done it on my 1.2, cut it open took everything out then welded it back up, worked fine but that was only because no 1 made a decat for them lol

that was before the decat too lol used to rasp and pop a bit more with that

it doesnt have a sunroof, lucky boy. i had an expression which was similar but only a 16v over an 8v and a couple of other goodies, i converted it to full dynamique spec, was fun but silly lol. if i was you all id do is, dynamique alloys, spoiler, eather dynamique interior or 172 interior...

my first engine used to end up soaking oil up into the filter, my second one wasnt as bad but still had some. perfectly normal.

maby not then just remember edde saying somethin about it

not sure if the other models are the same but on the 1.2 16v you MUST do the waterpump!! mine was done just over a year before i got it, (and about 20k miles) and it snapped due to the waterpump bearing seasing up (had been leaking for ages!) worst part was i was in the middle of a 2 car...

i beleive DCI clios share the same ARB as a 172 if not thicker? iirc anyway?

really wish i had done my front bumper like that on my old car, middo's a legend for creating that lol

i had them on my 1.2 16v and rate them very high, along with the FK silverline X Coilovers, front and rear strut braces, everything stripped out it and 15" wheels with 195/45/15 eagle F1's. considering it was only running just over 80bhp the thing was a weapon down a backroad, everything was...

looking through my videos tonight and found a video i done a while back of my 1.2 with the powerflow exhaust! took it out a blast at about 3am in the morning (stupid things i used to do with that car lol) and took it down a long straight on a backroad i know with the boot open to record the...

my greenstuff pads took mega hard abuse on fast road and track, even had to replace the disks due to them cracking (common problem on drilled disks) but the 1.2 was braking hard from 100 odd mph not 135! with more weight!

bought my car from a toyota dealer with new pads all round and new front disks but the're unipart crap squeel like a piggy and fade after using them once or twice. they also kick out MEGA ammounts of dust. i had black diamond drilled and grooved front disks and GreenStuff pads on my wee 1.2...

if it has FACTORY FITTED xenons (eg. a 172/182) then it must have washer jets to be sold in this country, some mot testers might check most will not. if they are aftermarket fitted (eg. as this guy has done) then it is NOT required

think i need to get 15" wheels for mine because im still not having as much fun as i used to have in my coilovered car on 15s!!! ill give them a go on monday!

wish i had kept my coilovered 1.2 16v in all honesty, 172 is a lot of money for a more boring car lol

04 onwards is a 182 (different wheels, twin exhausts sticking out back bumper) Extra 10bhp comes from a 4-2-1 manifold over the 4-1 used on the 172 and the different exhaust system as well as some ecu tweeks iirc. early 172's didnt have ESP, late ones had ESP and later ones had both ESP and...

yep lifetime warranty

No need for that, the forums here to help, would be no point in it if everyone had "BASIC mechanical Knowledge" check the imobiliser fuse (or all the fuses for that matter!), sounds like the problem i had when mine blew

i looked into it when i blew up my 1.2 lump, as far as i know the stock intake is the weak point, so for higher rpm and much more power you need to replace that so your looking at using ITB's or be oldskool and save money and use motorbike carbs!! (my mate has a 1600gte nova lump running them...

cheers pal thats just what i was looking for :)

is there any performance difference between the 2? wasnt sure if the silenced one was more restrictive? been looking at the k-tec ones but not sure what one to go for, is there a big difference in noise?
