this thing is REDICULOUS! Supercharged civic typeR engine http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RS4Rk9gzc6g And here he is 'overdoing' it. (yes thats an s4 he tanks past!) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=foLqbLwAB4w

I've searched the forum but can't find anything about this.... I've had all 3 mounts replace about 2 weeks ago, and under hard acceleration in 1st and 2nd gear, there is a load of knocking coming from what sound like the bottom of the rear of the engine. (!?) Its doing my head in.... Is...

sorry for not saying hello, i'm a bit shy! :o I was in the silver and white 172, group 4.

When i've finished abusing my 172 track car, i want a car that i can cherish, polish, and generally pamper. Is a v6 worth that? My only options really are either a mk2 clio v6 255 or a Escort cosworth. I'v never wanted any other car more than either of those, but is a clio v6 really worhty of...

Any advice lads? My current ones are as much use as candles. On a windy day. Oh, and no i don't want a HID kit.

Just took my 172 to this garage i use as he is a pretty s**t hot mechanic, plus i wanted to show off my new track toy and get him to give it the once over as i've done most of the work myself and i'm a bit of a novice. Anyway, theres a lound knocking coming from the front left, sounded like a...

is this an easy thing to do? I want to take out the front ones. Do i just unplug all the electric boxes in front of the gearstick and then set about taking stuff out? How do i ensure the bag doesn't explode and smack me in the face while i'm doing this?? Cheers.

My 172 was running sweet the last two outings i had in it. Yesterday i fitted some new wheels and tyres on the back (standard on the front atm, thats another story!) Took it out today for about an hour doing some 50mph country lane blasts and some 100mph + straight line driving, all seemed...

I appear to be missing some spigot rings on the inside of my wheels. I bought them off a guy on here, two wheels fitted perfectly, the other two are about half an inch too 'loose' on the hub. The wheels seem to be missing some plastic inserts?? Any idea where i can get these from?

Silver ph2 172, funky looking exhaust. You wouldn't have noticed me, i was in a Laguna 1.9dci :sleepy:

Made this yesterday, as i fancied seeing how much induction Roar i could get out the clio... The result is lots of Insulation Tape,And MASSIVE induction Roar from my £3.99 Fram Paper filter!! hehehehe

What is a SRS/crash module look like on a clio 172 seat?? I've sold some bits to a guy and he's missing them.... Any pics? So i can hunt round in my garage!! Cheers.

I've seen it advertised on motorsportworld, reasonable price, and thought it sounded good. Anybody had actual experience with it? I'm looking to fit it to my 2000 172. (the shocks and springs) Thanks.

anyybody know?

Yate area, some bird driving

chipping Sodbury, get out and was the s**t! its filthy! :rasp:

As above really.... When jammimg on the anchors coming from say 80-90 down to zero, the back end proper swerves and fidgets. Its a bit unnerving sometimes, as you have to counter it with the steering to stop you changing lanes!! Its not just this one either, i've had three of them and driven...

Morning Geeks. When i try and watch a 4 minute clip on youtube and the like, my computer is taking probably fifteen minutes to Buffer it. Looking at the rest of the web is lighnening fast, as is uploading pictures etc. When i first bought the computer, youtube etc was the quickest i'd...

if this is in the wrong section, i'm sorry.... Has anyone got any pics of how/where their harnesses are mounted? I mean close up pics, so i can see exactly how they are positioned. I have 2 bucket seats, 2 harnesses, and a naked interior. Many thanks, much love.

Im absolutely cluless when it come to this sort of this thing. I want a 37 inch TV for my living room, HD ready LCD type thing, don't really want to spend any more than about £600. Ideally i'd want a swivelling wall mount bracket aswell but i have an extra budget for this. Any ideas? or...

went out this evening to change the plugs as the car is misfiring like a pig. i cleaned the engine last week, so i just thought water had got in, no big deal.....it happened on the last 172, its an easy fix. oh how wrong i was. if your looking at the engine from the top, the 3rd hole from...

has a cliosport sticker in the window. Don't think i've ever seen it before?? (Steve if its you i'm sorry! :o )

195-50-15's for my 172, £30 each delivered. Is this a good price? More to the point, are they any good??!

i recently bought a ph1 172 as a track project. It started as a very tidy 101,000 mile car that was perfect for everyday use...... And then myself, Dad and a mate who races cars got hold of it.... Next on the list, Corbeau Buckets, Harnesses, Uprated suspension, dedicated...

(not mine, looks good though.) http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/207438.htm

Its going to be a track car, don't give a monkeys what it handles on our sack of piss roads here in the united Kingdom, just want it to be good on nice flat smooth tarmac. Anyone got any? To be used with standard wheels. Any ideas on cost (purchase and setting up?) I'll get my mechanic to...

If i fit one, i understand it will suck in hot air. If i cut out a a4 sized hole in the bonnet and meshed it with a scoop above it, (Proffesional job in a bodyshop, not some tinsnips) would that aid performance? Or would this just be a nobbish thing to do?

Ok. I need two bucket seats, harnesses, Small steering wheel, Uprated discs, pads and braided hoses. I need some Lowering springs (i have 4 brand new shocks) and i need some decent quality dry weather only tyres. I need A decat and a decent exhaust and possibly a Roll cage. Any...

1) If i sold the complete interior? (door cards, carpet, roof lining, EVERYTHING!) 2) If i sold the Wheels & tyres? 3) If i sold the stereo, multi cd and the lead? 4) If i sold the double optic headlamps? Cheers peeps!

Before all the abuse starts, i know i'm a car salesman, but i just wondered what people were willing to spend on a clio like this one... ( a friend of a friend is selling it) 2000-W phase 1 172 silver 97,000 miles pretty tidy Some historty Completely Standard car All i'm going to do is strip...
