dci clios are loud at idle from outside, so are all diesels. in car you would NEVER know your in a diesel to be honest, its quiet, i get a very faint whistle from the turbo when it comes on boost, with the window down it doesnt sound loud either again just a little whine from the turbo when its...

more than likely a bent conrod, water doesnt compress... suppose if car was driven with a bent rod piston would "oval" the bore

dci 100 is a good motorway croozer blasts to 120 indicated pretty quickly then starts to tail off (i had 119mph indicated the other day after a long long straight) i had a 65 and it was much more responsive around town due to smaller turbo and no intercooler, i then fitted an 80 intercooler to...

picked my mate up at 4am, flew down in the dci, too long a drive for a car show, i wont be back lol

ull do that in a dci anyway ;)

why the change from a 182 and what engine?

the reason these cars sell for such crap money is because people on this place for some strange reason decide to hammer the prices down. the price i paid for my dci which nearly everyone agreed was a "bargain" for a dci 100 with 71k on the clock could have got me a 172 with 30k miles, less...

Re: Anyone ever wieghed their 172 cup??? i weighed my non cup 172 without me and no spare wheel or tool kit it ws 1026kg

you have just gave me a great idea for the bit behind my rear wiper! you are a legend thats been anooying me for ages!

hes on here, hes the guy im sure that bought my old red dci 65, he has the clio van on bags too which is pretty sweet. he was building this a while back it was the gold one that was going about on bags that had the motorbike cans on the back bumper remember that one? this is it now

yeah after 53plate the dci 100 was brought out and the 1.6 16v was also given rear disks. same size as the 172 ones Brett, im going to try my hardest to keep it standard as i like it as is. the dci 65 was just a bucket so a front mount and 60mm springs were a bit of fun lol

ill be going back to eagle F1s when im due tyres, i needed tyres ASAP for a last minute road trip and got 2 ContiSport Contacts on the front (standard fitment 172 tyres i beleive) and they nearly f**king killed me today!

ideal for me would be 195/45/15 or 195/50/15 but im not buying a set of 15" wheels at the moment so standard 16's will need to do, ive always used 195/45/16 on them but i know you can use 205/45/16 and they come quite highly recomended just cost more!

no need for spring compressors to fit coilovers as your not taking the shocks apart your keeping them built up and fitting full new ones (ie your coilovers!) people always talk of the strut turning when they try and loosen the top mount, keep the car on the ground while you crack them off and...

if you like your car to handle like a spazzy on an ice rink and look nice and low then go for them. if you like to drive your car quick and enjoy the handling then stick to standard or go for sportlines/prolines/h&R or coilovers

you had an engine rebuild, its using a litre every 800 miles and your assuming thats the way it is because it was a "well recomended company" lol

lol u dont have a flexi! and as danny said above you just need a new gasket and sealing kit, bloddy expensive for what it is from renault, k-tec do them cheaper though. 5 minute job to change on a 182 with a 10mm socket and 10mm spanner not so easy on a 172!

its obviously going to pull on one as its the same car, lighter with more power but its ok saying ive got 18bhp more or what ever but 18bhp isnt much on the road, its not like its night and day. ive got a big torque gain which makes a genuine big difference but if you fit a decat and filter and...

yep normal mate, mine is even better with PTFE gaskets, but leave it sitting in traffic for 5 minutes and its not long in becoming bloddy hot lol

if your car has lost a genuine 25bhp a service is not going to just like magic make it re appear, infact its probably going to make about 1bhp difference if your lucky from the change of the air filter. few checks. does the car idle ok, does it pull clean to the limiter, it wont be great over...

ignore the haters mate i like the exhaust. car looks awesome needs some sort of white detail on the wheels though a rim or something and some sort of white sticker or something on the wing mirrors would set it off i recon

load of my mates are die hard honda nuts and know everything about them and do conversions etc so any bother or questions give me a pm and ill get answers for ya lol

hmmm possibly they used to be that before all the new tax bands came in? but yeah this is deffo £35! going down to £30 next year i beleive!

newer ones are higher tax, same engine in the new one is also a dci 106 where mine is a dci 100! think it was something to do with them putting out more emissions than they were rated for! so newer ones are rated with higher bhp and more tax when they are the same engine!

yeah i was never a diesel fan untill i tried one when i bought my last one as a runabout they are awesome, no point at all having a petrol non RS, i was driving my mums 1.2 16v the other day and wasnt exactly red lining it just making progress around town at a similar pace as i would in the 172...

no one ever does hahaha

ive got a 172 but best mods i done were.... ENGINE was a 182 manifold with decat. CHASSIS Eibach Sportlines with 172 cup dampers Decent brake fluid

mine is stripped with a few mods and im not into all this 0-60 patter but launching from a standing start mine will pull 1-2 cars length on a standard 172 by the end of 3rd gear

this is not fact. A small amount of refrigerent can escape due to 'natural seepage' through the hoses used in the system and the seals of the individual system components. This can be up to 10% of the total refrigerant volume per year. A 100% sealed system is not possible due to the...

only a 5 speed mate, would have loved it to be a 6 speed, maby a plan for the future haha ;) cheers for all the comments guys loving it so far, done 200 miles in it today and really getting a feel for it now, it pulls clean and hard to 4.5k rpm feels more like a petrol than a diesel! inside...
