if i was you i'd defo go straight for coilovers. I had a kit on mine, and it handled better than standard but nowhere near as good as coilovers. I regretted putting the kit on in the first place after having the coilovers for a couple of days as they are that much better. Dont go to...

new brake pads and trums? what the hell are trums lol.

i got the right two numbers just in the wrong order ;) close enough!

this thread was actually an interesting read unlike some of them ;) defo looks best on my old willys, glad they went to a good home!

^ lol i must be dyslexic then

will look awesome when the wheels are refurbed, will look better than ever imo

defo is one, i think its 98 db?

why the hell would it be illegal? its not the best for your car yes, but so is not getting it serviced on time etc etc. not illegal just not recommended

euro look? am i missing something lol. Those skirts are 172 style ones, would look good

the cars got a highish mileage so has has says i'd prob get it done. They say 72k, but def should be done earlier really.

^ i edited it your too quick ;). wheel bearings are prob about due to go as well in all honest due to the lowness, havent i had them done since i lowered the car over a year a go

as your not buying it from a dealership, you'd have to pay about 300 quid for one. Even if you could its so modified its not worth it. i'd stick to 15s or 16s. Its got a quite a high mileage on it so as soon as you get it i'd have the cambelt changed which will cost you about 400 all in. I was...

they will cause wear on drive shafts and puts extra strain on steering componants and will reduce acceleration etc. defo not illegal though?

i want mine to beyond the winter months ;)

if not fred theres a mint place by me, called top marques. Did a lovely job of my wheels and were back on the car the same day

amen that! it must be in the running for car of the year 07, specially with those lovely badges ;)

i was nosing at one in k-tec and sadly the holes are fairly flush. so its effectiveness at grating cheese would be fairly limited :(

but they're shiny lol :approve: few things ill admit to not liking but overall its mint. seeing them pics make me think i really should have put a cage in my old car, but the insurance company werent a big fan unfortunately.

i was really disappointed when i realised my old car didnt have it. not tried it on the mk1 but cant remember seeing the little flap in the back. gf's dad was really smug as his megane had it on the same 53plate :dapprove:

remember reading about this in PGTi magazine the other month. i know ep performance have done quite a few french cars now. not sure if it was this one, or just another saxo with polished wheels that i saw around fezzy last week when i finished work, but nonetheless it looks nice.

which one ;)

yeah moisture in the plug recesses etc. can make the engine misfire and trigger the engine management lights. i'll be honest when i say ive got no idea if they'll go off on their own, but for what it costs (20quid) you may as well just get it tested and reset if your about in the area

superchip can give up to 5bhp on peak power, and a 5% increase on torque. if its an open induction filter than sweet fa. exhaust really depends on how well the powerflow dealer knew his stuff. but potentially around 3bhp i'd guess. most renault engines seem to get more powerful with...

123 sprayed and delivered isnt bad at all, but i'd rather them sprayed at a bodyshop so if you have any problems you know where to take it.

considered a set of ap racing? think they list a set for the 172

you sound as shocked as i am lmao i know andy had a bit of bother with his exhaust, before he fixed the clamps he used to pull off the curb from my house and id be seriously worried about the 'noise' it used to make

mayo in the filler cap is quite normal for the 1.2. as for the management light, you need to take it to a renault garage to get it plugged into a CLiP system to have it diagnosed, and then reset. i always use adrian wilson in leek

they were aerospeed rs gt's iirc

lol, bloody good job i've done too ;)

lol, shall i write them a letter telling them what a safe driver you are? you can just imagine it... "i've never seen anyone mince a 172 in a diesel clio like this boy" seriously insurance companies are b******s, especially when it comes to mods
