never been down in ages mate im rarely out and about in the car the now as my 172 is off the road. im in denny so in falkirk just as much as stirling really ill need to have a peek at this car if i see you out and about!

quite a bit yeah usually rolling in the DCi100 Xenons ablaze lol i think i may have passed you in stirling in my black ph1 172 a few months back on the D/C down under the tunnel was going to have a blast untill i saw the guage in the windscreen pillar LOL if that was you anyway?

if i was in your possition and had just bought a standard 172 cup i would buy... Sportlines, inspect rear dampers to see if they are worth replacing (front too while your at it, but rears are more likely to be shot) ITG pannel Filter, Samco Induction Bend, RS Tuner to give it a 98ron fuel...

ordered a set today for the DCi 100 as the standard ones are shot, £260 all round was resonable i thought! going on with the current Eibach Sportlines thats already on it

sounds good used to have that exhaust on my old ph2 172 at one point. are you the guy who drives about falkirk in the monaco one yeah?

few updates nothing special, gave it a wash, changed the sparkplugs, going to do oil and filter on it this week at some point and got Bilstein B14 coilovers lined up for it...

how does this work ive read about this before? is it a seal on the head bolts etc that if you remove gets broken?

£2500 will get you a minter thats had its belts done. see my project log i paid that for mine

is it 182 ones that dont fit, i know their is some difference with the breather on one of the models?

as above :) cheers

yeah it could do with a bit more, the long term plan is to 16v it but for now hes happy with it. was a bit skitish for liftoff oversteer but now its extremely grippy, id go as far as saying it has more grip than the ek9!!

exactly the weight kills it, hence why the twingo with "only" 130bhp is a riot. people laugh when i say how genuinely quick my dci 100 is but the twingo is a perfect example. my car weighs 980kg with around 125-130bhp so just under the twingo yet 190lb/ft of torque!

keeping in mind christopher is coming from a 182 into a 1200kg 130bhp car, its never going to feel quick

doesn't it use the 197 box?

yes and im lucky i lived to be fair! they were ok in the dry but dangerous in the wet, i cant stress how bad they were, my dci 65 with cheap £15 a corner tyres had more grip in the wet.

my mate is making a thread up on one of the owners clubs, ill get the link off him tomorrowi think its all still there for now

yep thats the one, still in the same spec really apart from new bilstein dampers all round as the old ones were getting a bit tired and a set of Advan A048 tyres, you would not beleive the grip it has with them on it lol valve stem oil seals are gone on it too so hes got a full gasket and seal...

being honest all petrol mk2 clios are completely shite on fuel, infact the 172 is the only one that is surprizingly good, i took my 172 to work the other day a 30 mile drive of part motorway, part b roads and wasnt driving hard yet wasnt really holding back and averaged 38mpg! my 100 however...

ahh thats cool cheers!

cool you got any other pictures of it you could pm or email me my mate would probably like to see them! its a beast i love it

my fully loaded dci has more luxurys than a bottom end bmw ;) lol

have you tested the new 205bhp engine yet? thoughts on it? assuming its just got the road 200's cylinder head?

was my mates, i just got the good job of breaking it lol bought it back from the insurance company for £400

its my mates engines for sale as is everything else, shell being scrapped. dont beleive how much all the parts go for, engine, box, ecu and wiring goes for about £2500 lol

rolled, roof and a pillar done in, i chopped the slam pannel off with an angle grinder to get the engine out lol

if your getting 55mpg in a 1.2 u will get 40mpg in a 172 1.2 16vs are terrible on fuel u wont be that much worse

was once a minter... now shes gone! away to the scrapyard in the sky!

new inlet setup must make a nice difference then, older k4m's dont rev very well!

whats the rev limiter on them?
