FK Silverline X Coilovers (set to about -80mm)
16" Speedline Turinis
Powerflow twin 3" cat back exhaust
Home made decat
K&N pannel Filter
powerflex polly bushes
black diamond drilled and groved fast road disks
EBC Green Stuff Pads
2.0 16v 172 gearbox dogbone mount with k-tec/powerflex uprated bushes
as edde said 25bhp is a safe ammount but you could probably get away with 50bhp
im sure i remember 16v_jon saying he payed £800 for the full kit fitted?
black doesnt suit the dark blue i dont think, i dont think the mk2 suits 15" wheels unless its really low (which i hate about it, as i HATE any wheels bigger than 15" on clios lol it ruins them)
rolling roads are a load of balls for power figures, ok for before and after figures i had 2 on my 1.2 one was 83bhp which seemed a bit high and the second was 88bhp which is just plain stupid.
i just counted your video and got just over 11 seconds so dont know where your getting 9.9 from?
seen this going about falkirk and parked outside the SDM toyota garage (my cars ALWAYS in there getting warranty work)
lowered with exhaust on it. anyone from here?
nice car mate, mine was an expression which is similar spec to yours, just a bit better. also had the shity 2 tone interior. i went overboard on mine and fitted full dynamique interior, dashboard, dials, gearknob, carpet, door handles on the inside.
then on the outside, dynamique spoiler...
lol when i done my engine i left the gearbox in the car and then lowered the engine back in and fitted the gearbox that way it was a LOT of hastle lol just because im lazy and cudnt be bothered draining the gearbox oil because it was only a month old lol
hahaha bull s**t my car with a mega run in engine (120k) cat back exhaust, decat, remap, lightned flywheel and pannel and stripped interior would still only manage about 11.5 seconds to 60 (never bothered to time it thats just a rough guess)
my 1.2 16v took mega abuse untill 130,000 miles before i blew it up. enw engines done 50k (6k by me hammering it) and still feels brand new
still the best car for having fun ive had even compaired to the 172.
at the end of the day i cant see why ragging a 1.2 makes u look like a tit. when i...
no the only gay is ur ph3 engine, they are a heap of shite.
we had ph3 cars and had a lot more engine related problems than weve ever had with ph2 cars (only problems were coil packs on them)
and both ph3 cars were deffo under powered compaired to my ph2(and thats both engines, teh first...
lol mine was completely planted was brilliant, if you hammer down a backroad at they speeds in the 172 the ESP spoils it and if you switch it off it lights up the front wheels too easy lol
and the biggest spoiler is the 16" wheels, they ruin it!
i take up 4 spaces at work in at the far away part of the carpark lol my old dynamique was fucked with parking dents from parking in a single space even at the other end of the carpark
the shite "optional extra" exhausts that renault fit are balls, they look crap, sound crap and dont actually add any performance.
get a REAL exhaust and you wont need an induction kit lol my powerflow cat back was mental! used to pop all the time sounded like a thunder storm im it when i...
lol as said before dont see why your not aloud to make the most out of your limited power on this place because you drive a 1.2.
ive said it before and ill say it again, i dont have as much fun in my 172 as i used to in my modded 1.2 due to the fact that you never needed to slow down!! you...
glad to see its back.
i remeber how gutted i was when i blew up my dynamique, but it was actually brilliant fun servicing the new engine and dropping it in! and the feeling i got when i turned the key and heard the powerflow growl straight away!!
my old 1.2 16v done 120 indicated on the speedo last time i was in germany about 112-113mph i think? 0-60 about 11.5-12 seconds at a guess never tried it but it had a few mods and was stripped.
172 does indicated 140mph probably just over 130? never tried 0-60 as its standard
