sometimes it feels slow as f**k and i want something faster and then sometimes it feels rapid, weird!

£100 a year :rasp:

buy it or spend my 2k deposit ive saved on SL02 VNB and get it running again?!?!?! (already spent close to 7k not inc buyingit) 2nd idea is what i want my heart says but head says buy the 1.6 lol

very common problem, seen it happen loads with the AUX belt snapping and taking cambelt with it.

8 valve ouch! i can live with a 16v 1.2 even after driving much faster cars it still feels ok but i just cant live with 8v 1.2s lol only one bit thats decent is the cable throttle, even on the brand new campus ones!

im not going to be ripping up the 1.6 to put a 2.0 in it tho, just i blew up my 1.2 and fancied doing something a bit different while im rebuilding it. although thinking about sticking another 1.2 in it and a set of coilovers with the money im about to spend on it untill i can insure a 172...

yeah all labour being done by myself, mate whos a mechanic helping. just need to sort something out as ive only gone 3 days without my car now and its killing me so need to get a new car or engine!! climate/aircon i could do but would rather do without for the extra performance lol plus its...

£400 a month to insure a 172 for me in my own name fully comp, 18, 1yrs experiance 0ncb not paying that lol £1500 for 1.6 16v jon, £1200 for conversion kit, £300 for oil, filter, airfilter, spark plugs, cambelt, waterpump & clutch. £400 for stainless manifold and decat to link with my...

i use 5w40 millers motorsport oil in mine, change it every 4k or so

I love changing my wheels lol....

quite like it just dont know if its worth paying £3,000 more than what my conversions going to cost me for the pleasure of climate, electric sunroof (rather not have one at all!) and a ph3 front end?! lol

fogs should be the same on 52 and 06, just the mounting brackets might be different due to ph2 bumper on 52 and ph3 or 4 on a 06 but mounting brackets are easy to change

woops what a knob... lol sorry...

thinking of going to look at this on friday, anyone got any feedback on it, is that a resonable price for year/millage/spec? looks in good condition and the fact there is a 182 behind it on the drive give the impression the guys probably an enthusiast and looks after his cars!

look horrible but since they are 15s fair play, cheaper tyres and better handling you cant beat that. deffo needs to go lower, that fancy suspension sits to high, get some decent suspension on it ;) like bilstein coils :)

i wouldnt pay £1500 labour for a 172 engine, its not that hard lol a weekends work

tell them you want the cup turinis

do you know the guy wel enough to speak to?

They are Ph3 wheels not Ph2 lol looks really nice mate, should have went for 195/50 tyres tho on them, and went atleast -60mm but it looks just nice. my mates got a dynamique spoiler if your interested, think hes wanting arround £40 for it but open to offers

no way he'll sell it?! my mates desperate for another one. my mate had an iveco truck intercooler on the front of his, went from one side of the front bumper to the other side lol

ive got powerflex arb and wishbone bushes, not fitted yet so not much use to you, getting done now that the engines out, had them for months and keep putting them off because it seems like a c**t of a job!

i just came in my pants, low as fuk ph3 dynamiques rock! minus the sticker that is lovely!

will do mate, ill keep this thread updated

common problem, renault replace them under warranty, but they have to replace the full dials, and CAN'T fix your millage, so could look dodgey when it comes to selling up.

the exhausts are crap on them, prone to falling off by 30k, infact some have had exhausts replaced under warranty within the first 5,000 miles!! So the Blueflame exhaust is a good idea. think the stuff thats best for cleaning your engine is called "engine and machine cleaner" by Auto Gleam

na no point doing a conversion when id be scared to push it to hard incase i crash it because my insurance is void!

better ways to spend your money, and tbh you would get more gains stripping it which is free! best way to make 1.2's faster is strip them to save as much weight as possible, sort the suspension and brakes and if you want to touch the engine just optimise the engines breathing with a cat back...

engine conversion (assuming its a fairly straight forward conversion your doing) such as a 2.0 16v 172 engine into a 1.2 clio is fairly easy as long as you have some decent tools. k-tec do the conversion for £3000 (inc all parts +VAT) but tbh for that money id rather spend £1500 on a...

mine died when i was running the car with no arch liner (due to an incident with an unmarked ramp in the road i didnt see!, involoved me having to then buy 2 new front apex dampers, an arch liner + 2 front tyres (passengers side 1 was fucked))

coilovers. lol nice, i like it
