rear dampers are gone so ordering 172 cup ones to replace them but fancy changing the fronts while im at it since the cars now 5 years old and coming up on 40k (also doing bottom arms, suspension top mounts, track rod ends etc) was thinking of going for koni adjustables like i had on my last...

wheels look awesome!!

green stuff were awesome on my old 1.2 16v, faded a bit to quick for my liking on track but fast road they were awesome

just give the torx heads a few hard whacks with a hammer and the shock should loosen it, if that fails heat it, when its heated (and expanded) they seem easyer to get out when it cools, thats what i had to do for mine

ive got brembo max and green stuff on the 172 the now with standard rear setup. stops well, and brilliant from cold. just fitted it last week and due to 2 dodgy rear dampers that im waiting for new ones to arrive to replace ive not pushed it hard, but i had the same combo on my old 1.2 16v and...

Really f**king Tight ^^?

i get PFC, the dude in my local ethnic shop gets me it every month!

a decent exhaust makes the car sound better and along with a decent filter it will make the car breath easyer making throttle response a bit better, theres more to it than just BHP! these mods will make the car better to drive and make it "feel" a good bit faster (the noise helps!) on these...

Magic, thanks a lot mate thats all for now lol

thats brilliant mate thanks a lot you any idea on the price?

bump anyone? this thing just nearly put me through a bush backwords when i went round a dry roundabout at 20mph!!!! its dangerous need to order 2 new dampers tomorrow!

lol yeah even my 1.2 done that with them!! ^ my 172 struggles to do it with eagle F1's :D

lol i just looked for ones the same or similar size to my renault one and then picked the one with the biggest numbers! lol

because its marketing, they all pull figures out their ass to sell them, theres no way on any N/A clio your going to get 10bhp from a "chip" full exhaust, decent filter and remap will get 10bhp on a 172/182 if your lucky! not a 1.4!

i use the halfords special super dooper ones! £45 i think they cost, they do cheaper ones for arround £35 tho i think. the one i have has a 4yr warranty too im sure!

Front: Brembo MAX front disks (and sell your standard disks if they are new like you say) EBC Green Stuff pads Rear: Standard Disks (come with bearings already fitted, dont bother with uprated) EBC GreenStuff pads (low brake dust make it worth while over genuine, no point from a performance...

its just the tyres i was scared of mine on my 1.2 in the wet lol, i know gibson172 and jock_clio both had a shot of the wheels too and felt the same!

chip or remap will give 2-3bhp, on a modded engine it will make more use of ur mods and the above mods will give 10bhp MAX

lol Kumho Ditch Finders i used to call them when i had a set on my turinis. they were the worst wet tyres ive ever used in my life!! wernt to bad in the dry but not brilliant!

Both my rear dampers are leaking on my 172 (one leaking a bit more than the other!) so need to replace them this week, but was wondering if the 172 cup rear dampers were uprated over the standard 172 ones (i know the fronts are but wasnt sure if they changed the rears or just stuck with the same...

full exhaust inc manifold, filter and remap (or chip) will gain you 5-10bhp max! if that!

If thats 4.5k id be seriously worryed about your brakes! ive done nearly twice that before with green stuff pads and very heavy use and not had a single bit of a lip!

bedding in brakes hard wont do any harm if done properly, just dont go from 80mph to 0 and keep the brakes pressed!

Blueprinting is when you build an engine to a certain specification, meaning everything is within a set tollerance, means everything runs smoother and can give a bit more power. for example if your flywheel or crankshaft is slightly heavyer at one side it causes vibration and can wear parts...

the huge lip round the rim...
