mint when we having a ph1 meet?!

182 manifold, cant wait to get another for my ph1

we had a 55 plate 1.2 16v expression mk3, after selling it at 95k/2 years it didnt have one rattle, was still put together perfectly, still felt brand new and tight to drive. engine was making an extremely loud whine that renault had it in for 5 times and were un able to cure, it snapped a...

id be checking the cable and pedal, i done 140k on a standard 1.2 16v clutch lol

as above, got a set of 172 sunvisors for the dci 100 ut cant work out how they are wired? (im no electrician lol) any ideas assuming they come from the interior light?

i was lost out that way somewhere lastnight was it a ph1? lol

much easier on a ramp but not that hard if you know what your doing/have done one before. ive done a 1.2 16v, dci65 and 1.6 16v and they were all straight forward enough, doing my dci 100 next week too

JR5 wont fit a 172 either, JC5 is fine anyway as long as you know how to use it properly and not abuse it as long as your rev matching on down shifts and not rushing it into gear it wont go wrong!

i put mine on my old 1.2 16v with cable ties and they lasted 30k miles before i sold it, probably still on! i usually use jubilee clips now if someone asks me to do one, they metal clips you get on them as standard are useless

auto gear was standard after 02 plates i think possibly some 51's cant quite remember but if it has auto wipers then yes it will have auto lights

few wee updates. spraying the engine cover pearl black, waiting on another tin of paint to finish it off as i ran out so got that to do then the 2.0 16v sticker (cheers n2grafix) then lacqure before its finished, test fit today.... and again thanks to n2grafix for the RS172 sticker...

wouldnt bother with a show cage, i dont mind the extra weight if its actually going to help in a crash lol

usually find it will be pish up high in the revs

probably coil pack, causing car to missfire and then that causing lambda to throw a wobbley!

yeah that 2nd mount is from a cusom exhaust of some sort. what you need to do is loosen the clamp between the centre section and backbox, its 2 13mm's you dont even need to jack it up if your thin like me, then loosen the 13mm on clamp that goes round the backbox (need to use 2 13mm's one to...

you just fukin copying me first u wanted a dci now this! looks good fella ive got spax on mine too actually ok!

awesome as always!

mine didnt have xenons from the factory so i put a set on it from a 182

i could write a book on this assuming were talking about both 172s and not just ph1 and ph2 in general which id say ph2 is much better, feels like theirs a lot more than 3 years between them! is this ph1 better than my ph2 172 was, no not really, i prefer the phase 1's cable throttle, it pulls...

yep

not sure red springs, not eibach, not sure if its spax or something, handles ok, going to do bushes, track rods and track rod ends and then take it from there with suspension and dampers

no.

yeah their are 2 cats a longer one and a shorter one

how would you bend the rear beam jacking up a clio, i can lift the rear myself after a bowl of porridge!!

lol what the f**k is with that exhaust?

possibly! lol on another note, HOW FUKIN AWESOME ARE ALUMINIUM BONNETS!!! i feel myself opening it just to lift it up and close it daily lol

how did you manage 44mpg from it lol i cant get over 40 in my mrs 1.6 16v! looks good mate i like it! should have bought a dcaye tho

i have a dci 100 and a 172, the 172 is very tiring to use every day compaired to the dci with its light clutch, light accelerator, unlimited torque i only really use 3rd, 4th and 5th gear in the dci lol ocassionally 2nd when pulling away from a standstill its very easy to drive, drive it like a...

u missed out, its an animal!! lol think its remapped, every time i think its came on cam i look down to see it pulling past 4k!
