its a really easy job the cambelt so if you cant do it yourself a local garage will probably do it for not much over £100. my 2002 was on 140k miles and going strong untill cambelt snapped, would still be going strong today if it hadnt probably

mk3's are huge i bet 20's would be not to much trouble. of course if it was mine it would be getting 15's.......

only looks 45/50 in the pics tbh

nice car mate, cups always sit to high though :(

FK's Rock!!

my bird had my 172 on cam in 3rd gear when she was only 16 lol! never been so scared in my life! lol

^^ go at least -60/70mm! i went about 80/90 ish i think never measured

what wheels you using?

he means in inferno 182 dynamique is really nice with they 172 wheels and grill, would look sweet on a set of coilovers :D megane is really cool in inferno quite like teh silver wheels actually!

in the last 7 years weve had.... 2001 1.2 16v expression 2002 1.2 16v Dynamique 2003 2.0 16v 172 2004 1.2 16v expression 2005 1.2 16v Extreme 4 2007 1.2 16v expression still own the 2007 1.2 16v which is getting replaced this summer and the 172

deffo do waterpump as said above.

my 1.2 16v flew past 145k miles no problem, never had one single problem with it all that had been changed was coil pack and clutch. if the cambelt hadnt gone it wud probably still be going now!

owned lol

there has been loads of times when people have been done for speeding or dangerous driving etc for recording and posting on the net, but just in this case hes ok, as long as you watch wht your doing you should be fine! lol but you do have a valid point wasnt trying to argue

you cant prove its that car in the video, and me and my mate's old black both ended in VNB!!

yeah i once had a camera mounted to my bottom grill on my 1.2 16v when it was lowered about 90mm and it looked like an F1 car bouncing all over the place lol wasnt even going that quick!
