well thats me had the DCi65 for 2 days now so thought id give my opinion on the car. the car its self is a red 1.5dci 65, 140k miles, bit scruffy on the outside, imaculate inside, drives awesome for the millage, anyway.... the car is a complete hoot to drive, yes its slow especially coming...

197 has the cat built into the manifold, so surely 182 manifold will be better for power even if it does fit

2 exhaust clamps and 1 rear hanger and thats all it involoves apart from cutting the bumper

uve missed half the dirt behind the clio badge, poor attempt boyo!!

cool guys, couple of my mates are looking at getting a lockup for the cars over winter so might be able to chip in for something like that, although i dont like leaving it anywhere but my driveway where i know where it is lol

U fancy building it? Lol

see my mates RX-7 shooting flames? lol JockClio he used to be on here with a mk1 172

not a problem, mate im off for 2 weeks starting on the 22nd of this month but could probably fit in a day off before that if something suited you got msn?

yeah mate no problem coilovers only take an hour really, if its foxys old ones you'll get it lower than my old 1 hehe if hes sold them as the custom setup he got? only thing u'll need to get done is the tracking and alignment i cant do that lol

coilovers arnt a problem for me to do if you want

hi guys, 172 is staying off the road for the next 4 or 5 months (ill be doing a lot to it during this time!) all im wondering is what i should do to protect it? it will have a nice couple of coats of wax to protect from the elements and ill be able to take it the odd run around my private land...

thats a bit steep for 3rd party is it not? im insuring the dci fully comp in my name for just under £400 with 1yrs ncb

cheers for all the comments, up close its a bit rough but nothing a wee trip to my mate at the bodyshop wont sort :) 172 is going in there too next month for a full front end respray :) guy is awesome!

slam it on its arse, i still to this day miss my 1.2 16v dynamique with the cat back exhaust and coilovers, was low as f**k, bounced about everywhere but the road pressence it had was awesome!

in the last 2 years thats me had clios with 320,000 miles in total haha it drives awesome i expect many more miles out it if i behave myself with it (probably end up with a huge turbo and a massive front mount haha The Big Yin, never done one yet, ill let you know how i get on haha think i...

got a cambelt kit coming for it to do next week sometime :)

ill take 2 renault diamonds lol

track tuition and experiance to learn to use the standard power to the full, then start looking at the rest, first thing id be doing modification wise would be stripping it to loose as much weight as possible, remember BHP per tonne is where its at!

its not quite the fabia VRS i was going to get but its a brilliant wee bus for £1800 really nice to drive compaired to the 1.2's due to the heavy steering like the 172 and the low down torque, nice wee town bus lol

i would if i had picked up the car ;)

just rang admiral to take 172 off the road for winter and insure the dci, they owe me £480 :) anyone know the name for this colour? the advert said cherry red but not sure if thats the actual renault name for it

dont bother with superchips. much better and much cheaper with an RS Tuner or if you dont have a laptop then an RS tuning remap

over £200 without the airbag iirc

john, i will blame u in 6 months time when my 172 has had zero done to it and ive got a maxed out dci clio

just read it ohh noo, ive got the bug already i think lol just a bit put off by mapping a car thats done 140k, maby im just being silly i dunno! just dont want to put too much stress on it! i am actually really excited, possibly even more than when i got my 172 haha with the 172 because i...

ohh no why did i open this lol!! how much are the dci100 intercoolers, are they cheapish from renault or the usual £100000 lol as i assume they arn't too easy to come by as the car was so rare?

payed £1800 for it which isnt to bad considering the condition, just had £300 spent on it at a diesel specialist, got receipts for that not had a look at them though due to a starting problem it was having which is now cured, something to do with injectors (i dont know much about the dci...

Finally got myself a wee runaround today, only got one pic of it so far, pick it up satarday morning its a 1.5 DCi65 Dynamique, imaculate inside, drives awesome, bit tatty on the outside but that will be sorted in a few weeks time. 140k miles, even more than my last one :eek: but drives...

Looking good wee man, id get an F7R for it and slam it on coilovers.

went for a look today, interior was mint, it drove really well, was quite scruffy on the outside but nothing a trip to the bodyshop wouldnt tidy up. only 2 things i noticed was 1, the trip computer was showing 16mpg but it had been sitting for a while so would probably have been reset not long...
