to be honest if ive not got the wiring there im just going to buy the actualy lights and put them in, just finishes the car off better couldnt care if they work or not lol obviously its a bonus if they do!
i cant see how it could be cheaper to drop in a 2.0 over a 1.6 considering a 2.0 costs more to buy and you need to upgrade the brakes and possibly suspension too
my lights are dimming big style when using my electric windows and they are going really slow, does it with the engine on or off so dont know what it is, probably both battery and alternator fuked in my case!
yep, i know what im like go and buy myself some 2.0 turbo jap thing and id wrap it round a lamp post the day i got it.
possibly a golf GTi to start with, but nothing faster
to be honest even if i won the lottery i wouldnt buy anything like an F430 or SLR, somthing like a 1.6 for a year thats still resonably nippy then after a year get a 2.0 then work your way up.
Open the boot, remove the 2 screws at each side and 2 in the middle with the Torx screw driver from your took kit.
pull old spoiler off, unclip connector to brake light and pull off washer tube from the spoiler.

Williams is out of the question mate untill your atleast 18 with 1yrs ncb but even at that your talking near enough £3,000!
VTR i know a couple of people at 17 driving them but they get ripped off mega style too!
there is quite a lot of us here with 1.2 16v Dynamiques for first cars at 17...
An air filter is a consumable item so the way I see it is your just changing it for a better, longer lasting item.
just like you wouldnt declair upgraded wiper blades or headlight bulbs!
engine restriction idea is good in someways but bad in others, i know i would rather be in a 172 with a 18yr old who knows about cars rather than someone who doesnt have a clue how a car will and can react but just likes to go fast (such as my dad who has been driving for 20 years but doesnt...
get clear side repeaters like said above mate, little tip though get the genuine renault ones, i got ones from K-Tec and they're cheap and nastly and even although they say they are for a clio i needed to mod them with a stanley to fit because they were for a megane. they also let in water...
my blower fan has got REALLY REALLY noisy for some reason and seems to be cutting out for a second or 2 every once in a while, think its needing replaced.
anyone know where about behind the dash it is and how to get to it? also how much will a new fan cost assuming thats all thats needing replaced
get 1 mate im able to keep up with my dads evo now that ive got 1 fitted to my 1.2 16v even my dad said he should have saved the money and just got a clio with 1 of these instead of the evo :clown:
i hear the clio cup racers use them too ;)
u sure it needs a rebuild? mine is at 120,000 and still fine, i know freds is at about 80,000 and has done loads of track days and is still fine
the more miles they do the faster they go!
lower it on 16s and they look just right, 17s look to big on them.
most 172/182 owners buy the car because of the handling and performance not just beacuse it has fancy bumpers and seats, so why waste it with bigger wheels?
after seeing pics of the apex -60mm kit (fitting mine on satarday) i can see me going for coilovers soon, not near low enough for me lol been looking at to many pics of freds!
im trying to find out the exact same thing mate.
The foglights plug into the car behind the bumper on the passengers side, as far as i know most expressions are wired for foglights so i think all you need to do is fit the actual lights themself, plug them in and change the steeringwheel stalk...
